Found a way to get past the garage and to the gun shop. I haven't found a way to get to get past the gate/Kendo's gun show yet. If I find something definitive I will be sure to post a youtube link. Found this easter egg however. It's on the same sign that says restaurant; just the opposite side.

Seems the game will softlock if you go into the garage before triggering the heli crash into the RDP. Also, I'm still trying to figure out a way past the gate/Kendo shop.

I found out how to get past the kendo shop. No ladder here on claire's version but I will test with leon to be sure it works.

I'll be posting some youtube VODS soon.

All my efforts when getting to Kendo shop/gate have softlocked the game. I'll keep working on it. This VOD should be helpful however.

Will edit this post with a VOD on how to get the heart key for claire. I'm hoping this will be a work around for the softlock issue I ran into for the Kendo Shop/Gate.

Aerlien found a way to get to the Orphanage with Claire out of bounds from the library, hes streaming it at the moment https://www.twitch.tv/aerlien

Amazing, now getting leon to sewers needs to be figured out
