• Open the Jacks Inn Safe
• Reach Heaven's Night Club
• Head to Reverie Theater on Katz Street
• Find Laura

Head to Rosewater Park

After exiting into Western South Vale, you can find a save point directly in front of the building on the opposite wall. Continue on your way right, following the path to Rosewater Park, where you will come across another cutscene with Laura.

Afterward, continue down the tunnel then head to your right until you come across a statue of a horse, and the archway that bears the name Rosewater Park. Walk to the docks toward the small pier until a cutscene reveals the figure overlooking the fog is Maria.

Use the Blue Gem in Rosewater Park Pier for UFO Ending

Considering that you have the Blue Gem in your inventory, you may use it on the Rosewater Park Pier. This is the second location where the gem will begin to glow, indicating that you are one step closer to getting the UFO ending.

Head to Jacks Inn on Munson Street

Follow Maria toward a gate and head straight to your left until you reach the staircase leading outside of Rosewater Park, where you will immediately see Jacks Inn upon crossing the arch. There is a save point on the trunk of a cyan car in the parking lot that you may use if you need to save your progress.

Optional: Explore Nathan Avenue to Affect Ending

Instead of heading straight to Jacks Inn, you can explore Nathan Avenue. During this detour, Maria will express frustration about delaying your search for Laura, and enemies have a chance to attack her as you explore, which can bring you closer to either the Leave or In Water endings.

Open the Bowling Alley Safe in New Game Plus

After starting a New Game Plus save file, visit Pete's Bowl-o-rama down Nathan Avenue before heading to Jacks Inn. There, you can find a safe which needs to be opened to get the Rusted Key; an important requirement for the Bliss Ending. The safe will only appear at this location after you have started New Game Plus and will not be there under regular circumstances.

Open the Jacks Inn Safe

Head to the reception at the very back of the motel, indicated by a green door. Inside, you will be greeted with a safe that needs to be unlocked in order to progress the area.

Take the Reception Desk Note on the bulletin board, enter Room 108 on the second floor, break the wall to Room 107, and grab the Toolbox Memo which will serve as your clue to the safe combination. After opening the safe, you will obtain the Gate Key and use it to open the gate at the back of the motel leading to Munson Street.

Collect the White Chrism for Rebirth Ending

While in a New Game Plus save file, you can obtain a White Chrism on the porch of Baldwin Mansion after passing through Jacks Inn. This is one out of four key items collected that is necessary to get the Rebirth ending.

Obtain Another Broken Key Part for Dog Ending

From Baldwin Mansion, make your way to the western Katz Street and look through the abandoned houses to your right until you come across a white gate with a bone symbol. Pass through and find another Broken Key Part.

Combine this with the first Broken Key Part that you can get from The Pet Center backroom in Eastern South Vale to create a Dog Key that you can use later on to get the Dog Ending.

Reach Heaven's Night Club

Head down the right side of Munson Street until you reach the first intersection, and make a right to Katz Street. You can loot the houses along the street, though a cutscene will trigger once you have gone far down the road. James acquires a Steel Pipe after the cutscene which replaces his old Wooden Plank as his primary melee weapon.

Navigate through the alleyways and empty lots until you reach Heaven's Night club. The front doors are boarded up, so enter through the red door on the left side. Maria will temporarily leave, but you will find her again inside the bar's main area where a cutscene occurs. Afterward, speak to her by the doorway to leave the club.

Head to Reverie Theater on Katz Street

From Heaven's Night, make your way to the Reverie Theater by navigating through the empty lots until you reach the other side of Katz Street. The doors to the theater will be closed, so enter through the metal gate on its right side and into Moonlight Grove. Follow Maria into the garden for a cutscene to occur.

Afterwards, follow Maria to the back door of Reverie Theater and enter the building by climbing through an upper window, where James will be separated from Maria. From the back room, follow the voices of Eddie and Laura until you find them inside the cinema where another cutscene triggers.

Find Laura

Exit the cinema through the doorway on the far left corner of the room and head to the building's stairwell. Climb up to the second floor until you reach the projection booth and jump across the open window.

Follow a linear path through shelves full of movie reels until James spots Laura and she speeds off. Chase after her and head down to the Reverie Theater lobby, then finally exit the premises where you will be greeted by Maria who points you toward the direction of Brookhaven Hospital.
