Where to find a flashlight?

Immediately after entering the apartment building, take the map from the board next to the reception. Next, enter the reception area and use the saving point.

Deeper in the reception area you will find a closed desk. To open it, you need three coins, collecting which is the main goal of this location. You will return here at the end of the area. Before you can start collecting coins you must first also obtain a flashlight and a handgun.

There is an open bathroom right next to the reception, where you will find two bullets for a handgun. Take them and go up the stairs to the first floor of the building.

On the first floor, go through the open door into the hallway, then go to the end of the hallway to the lit room.

In the illuminated room full of mannequins, first approach the fridge and open the cabinet next to it, where you will find a health drink. Next, approach the glowing mannequin in the middle of the room and take the flashlight. You can now use it to illuminate the darkness.

Be ready for a jumpscare! The moment you pick up the flashlight, a new type of enemy will attack you. Beat him to death with the board, then open the drawer behind the mannequin to find the key to the courtyard.

Where to find a handgun?

Before you return to the ground floor, go to the very top of the staircase and take two handgun bullets from there. Then go downstairs and use the key to open the double doors next to the reception desk, which will lead you to the courtyard.

In the courtyard, move the cart to the nearby open window and walk on it. In the next room, open the drawer in the bedroom and take two handgun bullets.

After leaving the room, go down the dark corridor. On the way, kill the insect on the wall. You can also enter the open apartment in the middle of the corridor - there, kill the enemy and take the two bullets for the handgun. Eventually, you will reach the bars at the end of the corridor. Try to pick up the key lying behind the bars and watch the cut-scene.

Return to the reception desk - the iron grate blocking one of the corridors is now open. There are two enemies in the corridor that you can lure into the lobby and eliminate there. Next, enter room 102 in this corridor, where on the table you will find a photo, and in the bedroom a health drink.

By the staircase, you can find a health drink and a note, which will guide you to apartment 217. To get there, go through the green door next to the double doors leading to the courtyard.

Passing through the next corridor, enter the side apartment through the doorway without a door. Go there and interact with the wardrobe and pick up the item from the floor to receive a golden apple-shaped handle.

At the end of the corridor, by the bars, pick up the key to the first floor corridor. Also enter the apartment next door, the one with walls covered in drawings. In the drawer in the bedroom you will find a health drink. Return to the reception, killing a new enemy along the way.

Go up the stairs to the first floor and use the key to open the green door blocking the rest of the corridor. Before you lies a dead enemy - he shouldn't get up, but you can finish him off just in case. Go to the end of the corridor, where your first encounter with the Pyramid Head awaits. You don't have to worry about him yet, he's just watching you for now.

Go into apartment 213 right next to the bars and squeeze through the gap in the wall into the next hallway. At its end, there is apartment 217. Inside, in a shopping cart standing in the middle of the apartment, you will find a handgun. Reload it immediately just in case. Also pick up the ammo next to the TV, from the drawer in the kitchen, and in the storage room.

Return to the previous apartment through the crack in the wall and examine the mysterious figure sitting in front of the TV. Take the key to apartment 212 lying next to the person. Next, enter the room next to apartment 212 and look into the garbage chute. You will see a coin which you will need to get later.

Where to find the first coin?

Open apartment 212 opposite the apartment with the TV. Inside, open the cabinet under the sink to find a health drink, then exit to the balcony through the open door. Go to the next apartment and kill the enemy inside. Take two handgun bullets from the open refrigerator and go out into the corridor.

Watch out for the opponents in the corridor - there are two of them here. Enter the apartment 207 full of birthday balloons and eliminate another enemy. Don't approach the bathroom until you kill this enemy, because there is another monster waiting for you in the bathroom. Take two handgun bullets from the shelf.

Exit the apartment through the other door and kill the enemy in the corridor. Go to the apartment at the end of the hall and open the cabinet above the kitchen sink to get a handgun bullet. Next, approach the wardrobe and use the handle shaped like a golden apple. You can now move the wardrobe and squeeze through the gap.

The passage will close behind you. To get out of apartment 206 you have to solve the puzzle and open the safe. The puzzle is described on a separate page of the guide. Inside the safe, you will find the key to the exit door and a coin.

Go into the open apartment opposite and kill the three insects inside. Next, take the key to the small staircase on the first floor from the chair in the middle of the room. In the apartment, you will also find three bullets for a handgun and a health drink.

Return to the corridor and open the green door at the end to regain access to the rest of the building. Next, head to the first floor, where at the northern end of the building you can open the door locked with a padlock. Use the save point in the staircase.

Where to find the second coin?

You can now go to the second floor or to the ground floor. The order doesn't matter, but we will go to the second floor first. Go up the stairs and go left at the next turn. At the end of the corridor, squeeze through the gap in the wall into apartment 311 and kill the two enemies inside. Take a health drink from the table and two handgun bullets from the drawer in the kitchen.

Go through the large hole in the wall and kill the enemy on the other side. Then squeeze through the gap to apartment 310 where two more enemies are waiting.

Go out to the balcony and go to apartment 312, where you have to kill another enemy. There's a health drink on a ladder in a small room. To proceed further, crawl through the small crack near the floor.

Pick up four handgun bullets and cans of juice lying on the table in the next room. You can use them immediately - throw them into the garbage chute nearby. The coin you noticed earlier will fall to the bottom of the shaft and end up in the courtyard. Exit the room and return to the small staircase.

Go back to the ground floor. Open the previously locked double doors from the inside and exit to the courtyard. Pick up the second coin from the ground.

Where to find the third coin?

To get the third coin, go to the end of the corridor on the right after exiting the small staircase. Enter the open apartment 116 at the end of the corridor and watch the cut-scene, during which you will meet Eddie for the first time.

After that, go out through the open window to the fenced-off part of the courtyard. Make sure your handgun is loaded. There are as many as five opponents here. First, get rid of the two that are not standing in the empty pool. Try to lure them away from the rest of the group and kill them with the board one by one, without wasting ammunition.

Now you have to get rid of the three enemies standing in the pool. Don't jump into the pool, fighting three enemies at once in such a tight area can be a problem. We recommend standing on the sidelines and shooting the two enemies from a safe position. Killing one should cost you three or four bullets. After killing the two enemies, go down to the pool and kill the last opponent using the board or wait for him to get out of the pool and come to you.

After getting rid of the enemies, go to the baby carriage standing in the pool and take the last, third coin. Next, open the metal doors in the courtyard, which will take you straight to the reception.

How to get out of Wood Side Apartments?

After obtaining three coins you must open the desk at the reception. You will find the solution to this puzzle on a separate page of the guide. Solving it will grant you the key to apartment 201.

Enter the main staircase to the first floor and turn right. At the end of the corridor, open apartment 201. Take a health drink from the bathroom and examine the handkerchief on the desk. Watch the cut-scene.

After a close encounter with the Pyramid Head, pick up the handkerchief from the floor and go through the red door. You will leave the Wood Side Apartments. This will take you to the Blue Creek Apartments.
