Where's the fuse box?
The warehouse where the puzzle is solved is located in a bunker beneath the hospital called Underground Storage. You can go there as soon as Jill regains her health.
Before you enter the warehouse, try to amass as many weapons as possible - bring a grenade launcher, shotgun, magnum and a lot of ammunition. It's also worth having 1-2 Green Herbs in stock to be able to cure Jill. You can find new items in the warehouse, but taking the time to search for them will make it difficult or even impossible for you to get the Electric Slide trophy.
You must also have at least three spare slots in your inventory - one for each of the fuses you will soon need to find.
After entering the warehouse, go straight ahead. Nicholai will be standing in the surveillance room on your right, but getting to him now will be impossible. You have to approach the missing piece of the railing and jump down to the lower level.
Head straight for the elevator. Using it fails - Nicholai has turned off the supply of electricity to the warehouse. Your task will be to find 3 fuses in a dark warehouse and place them in a box located next to the inactive elevator.
If you plan to complete the puzzle in less than 5 minutes, the meter starts just as Nicholai sabotages the power supply.
Warehouse map - recommended travel route to 3 fuses
The recommended path is shown in the image above:
- Points 1, 2 and 3 are fuses that Jill must obtain. The route we have shown is the shortest, but of course, you can choose another one.
- Point 4 is the box into which the fuses 1-3 must be delivered. Only then can the northern elevator be activated.
- The red color marks the route from where the puzzle began to Fuse 1.
- The orange color marks the route from Fuse 1 to Fuse 2.
- The blue color marks the route from Fuse 2 to Fuse 3.
- The green colour marks the route from Fuse 3 to the fuse box (point 4). Fuses 1-3 must be placed in it to restore the power.
How do I get to fuse 1?
Get out of the disabled elevator and run a little to the right. Use the switch to bring the local elevator down.
The first Pale Head zombie will appear - they are much more durable varieties of zombies, which on top of that can regenerate their health if left alone. If this type of zombie clearly prevents you from moving on, use a magnum, grenade launcher or shotgun to attack it. Always attack until the monster is finally defeated.
Fortunately, the first zombie can be easily bypassed - you can run straight to the elevator. Activate it quickly so that the locks are removed and that you can reach the upper level of the warehouse on your own.
The first fuse is right in front of you.
How do I get to fuse 2?
Turn left and use the ladder. Prepare a good weapon - preferably a grenade launcher or shotgun.
Avoid using corridors on the left, because there will be a small explosion at each one and you won't be able to go through. Go straight and wait for the appearance of two zombie dogs. Any undead dog is best treated with a quick shot from a grenade launcher or shotgun so it has no chance of catching Jill and knocking her to the ground.
Keep going straight. Quickly knock down a single ordinary zombie (e.g. with a shotgun blast). Go in the direction of the narrow passage shown in the picture - Jill has to squeeze through it.
Head for the stairs. After you go upstairs, turn right and run along the elevated elevator (you don't have to interact with its mechanism).
You need to reach the elevator control panel shown in the image. Use it to bring the elevator to the upper level.
Run along the newly raised elevator and reach the ladder shown in the picture. Use it descend to the lowest level.
Turn right. The door of the container will explode, from which a group of ordinary zombies will emerge. We recommend using a grenade launcher to knock them down quickly.
The second fuse is to the right of the open container.
How do I get to fuse 3?
You must now turn around and return to the east end of the warehouse where you used the stairs. Watch out for a toad that comes out of another exploding container. Attack it with a grenade launcher, for example. Don't waste your time trying to kill it, just use the opportunity to climb the ladder quickly.
When you return to the steps, take an interest in the green door shown in the picture. They lead to a small room.
There are 3 Zombies and a Pale Head in the room. Use a grenade launcher or magnum to quickly kill all 4 zombies. Don't leave the Pale Head alive, as you'll have to return here soon. Choose the left door that will lead you to a ladder.
After descending the ladder, equip heavy-duty weapons, as Jill will be attacked by a Hunter. Try to kill the monster quickly. After the zombie is killed, go straight to where the third fuse is located.
How do you get to the fuse box?
Turn 180 degrees, return to the ladder and re-enter the room where the three zombies were. Open the lock on the left door, allowing Jill to return to the typewriter room.
Repeat the steps that you've taken at the very beginning of your visit to the warehouse, i.e. reach the spot with the missing railing and jump down to the lower level.
Watch out for Pale Heads and zombies with parasites on their heads. As a reminder, the parasites can hit you from a distance, thanks to their tentacles. In melee-range combat, however, the parasite can attach itself to Jill's head and attempt to kill her. You don't have to kill all zombies. Use a grenade launcher, shotgun or magnum to knock as many of them to the ground as possible.
Run towards the elevator - the box is to the left of it. Place all 3 fuses from the inventory one at a time.
Re-interact with the elevator. The power supply will return and the puzzle will be completed.
If your health is low, you don't have to explore the warehouse. You can use the elevator right away to reach the surveillance room. But know that there are plenty of supplies in the warehouse.
