NOTES

[1] Auspex tutorial is buggy, you need to see the shovelhead's aura before you kill him.

[3] Giving Jeanette the pendant will kill your run, so be extra careful here.

[4] Killing Chunk prevents him from showing up later, but will attract police which prevents you from entering gallery. Using hysteria on the wandering cop avoids this 95% of the time.

[5] This key will rarely drop out of the map, but you can still lockpick the doors

[6] You need to get "Replanting A Lily" through this dialogue, so be extra careful here. Certain conditions may change these dialogue options.

[7] Phil in the blood bank and Malcolm on the first floor can be fed on safely. Pawnshop can be skipped if you aren't using firearms.

[8] Video movement baits him down to you 90% of the time. Use "W" combo to knock him down. Then use "S" attack to hit him on the ground, then chain with "W" attack to knock him back down. Best place to stunlock him is in the doorframe to prevent him from jumping away.

[9] You can end this dialogue early, but completing it gets you a free point of brawl.

[10] You need to avoid receiving the Downtown haven from Lacroix. These dialogue options should both avoid getting the haven and allow you to receive money from Lacroix.

[11] Not talking to Sweeper can softlock the game coming out of Isaac's.

[12] Barabus is buggy, may need to knock him around to jumpstart his pathfinding.
