F.E.A.R. Hints
Rendezvous with Jankowski
1 of 13: Since the door that Jankowski is on the other side of can't be opened by either one of you, look around the room for another exit (and another rat to kill for fun).
2 of 13: You'll find several doorways on your floor, but they all lead to dead-end rooms.
3 of 13: So head up the stairs and push open the doors at the top of them.
4 of 13: TIP: Before you do that, find the doorway nearest the bottom of the stairs and explore the dark room beyond it to find a health booster on a table in one corner. It'll bump your max health up to 105!
5 of 13: The next set of doors that give further stair access can't be pushed all the way open, so turn left and move down the hall.
6 of 13: After jumping over a table that's in your way, you'll start experiencing some minor visions as you proceed. Nothing to be scared of -- just some of F.E.A.R.'s cool and creepy ambience.
7 of 13: When you come to a doorway that's half-covered with boards, crouch to move under the boards.
8 of 13: NOTE: Unlike most other games, you don't hold the Crouch key to keep crouching and then release it to stand up. Instead, the Crouch key acts as a toggle -- press it once to go into crouch mode, then press it again when you're ready to stand up straight again.
9 of 13: When a door is slammed in your face by absolutely no one, just open it up again and keep going. (Creepy, huh?)
10 of 13: Then you'll come to a padlocked door.
11 of 13: To get through it, you'll first have to shoot the padlock with the pistol.
12 of 13: After going up some stairs, you'll come to some doors that are blocked by a large metal shelving unit.
13 of 13: Just wait until Jankowski appears and shoves the shelves aside.
