F.E.A.R. Hints
Locate Harlan Wade's office
1 of 21: NOTE: If you go in the office past Alice Wade's, an invisible phone will start ringing. To shut it up, shoot out the blood-dripping ceiling tiles. A body and its pistol will fall to the floor. (He apparently had a cell phone.)
2 of 21: Now that you're done here, head back to the elevator room to see if your elevator is ready to go.
3 of 21: I guess not, because it'll creak and groan and slip down in its shaft a bit when you approach.
4 of 21: Once you leave the elevator shaft area, you'll pass through a room with a medkit on a shelf and enter a mostly dark hallway.
5 of 21: Use your flashlight to find your way along, but be ready to turn it off quickly since you'll soon find a Replica patrol in a large lobby with stairs.
6 of 21: After dealing with them, go up the stairs, but be ready for two more Replicas to appear from the left on the upper walkway across the room from you.
7 of 21: After shooting them down, go around the upper walkway to get to where they were, then follow the red wall along until you reach an open office.
8 of 21: Look left of it to see some Replicas through a window farther down.
9 of 21: SlowMo-shoot as many of them as you can, then retreat back a ways before dealing with the rest of them.
10 of 21: When they're dead, search all the rooms you can get to nearby for supplies and a way to get to the next Replica combat area.
11 of 21: It's a hall with two vending machines at one end and a security door that sounds an alarm and closes at the other end. As soon as that happens, be ready to take down two nearby Replicas.
12 of 21: After you enter the lobby and make sure all the Replicas in it are dead, head left and go up the stairs that lead to the lobby's upper walkways, where you can collect ammo from dead Replicas plus some body armor from a small couch.
13 of 21: When you're ready, go back downstairs and through the larger doorway on the opposite side of the lobby.
14 of 21: Be ready to fight some more Replicas and a Heavy Armor. (As usual, try to find and kill off the regular Replicas before going after the Heavy Armor.)
15 of 21: After they're all down, search around the various offices for supplies, then continue down the hallway to reach another large Replica-infested lobby. There are no turrets to help you out this time, so do the usual SlowMo hit-and-run thing.
16 of 21: Explore the lobby, being on the lookout for more Replicas, some of which like to appear on the upper walkway while you're still on the lower floor.
17 of 21: TIP: Search the two downstairs offices, one of which has a reflex booster in it.
18 of 21: Head up the stairs and finish off any remaining Replicas up there.
19 of 21: Alice Wade is being held captive in her father's office, which is on the upstairs floor and not too far away. However, you'll encounter heavy resistance along the way.
20 of 21: After you finish the second Heavy Armor off, find the doors near him that lead to Harlan Wade's office, where Alice Wade was trapped by the Replicas.
21 of 21: Approach her and hand her a comlink when instructed to, then wait for the next objective to pop up.
