Before the final investigation, scan every floor with the Super Gear Boy, revisit room 403 after getting the crowbar, finish the four seals and speak with Larry after each major discovery.
This guide is the no-miss layer. For the story order that finishes the Chapter, use Chapter 2: The Wretched.
Don't Miss These in Chapter 2
Replay cuts, mutually exclusive awards, and the conversations that look optional. The Chapter route still has the story order if you only need to finish.
◉ Don't miss this: Do not ignore Chug's request; the reward connects to an optional game and later collectible path.
◉ Don't miss this: Room 403 is easy to skip and is required for Unseen.
- Ignoring a Super Gear Boy reaction because the main objective points elsewhere.
- Getting the crowbar but never returning to room 403.
- Advancing after the puzzle-box without speaking to Larry or taking the chip to Todd.
- Skipping rooms that react to the Super Gear Boy.
- Ignoring the puzzle-box follow-up before advancing the investigation.
- Leaving room 403 unexplored after obtaining the crowbar.
- If an achievement fails to appear after a clean run, compare the condition against the full achievement checklist before replaying.
Who Causes a Miss in Chapter 2
Skip these conversations or choices and you lock an achievement, a tool, or a later code. The rest of the people on this route are on the Chapter 2 roster.
Larry JohnsonLeads the family-history investigation inside the building.
Talk to him more than once or Best Buds and several clues sit behind the first hello.
Todd MorrisonTurns the Gear Boy into the Super Gear Boy the later Chapters assume you have.
Rushing the apartment can skip the upgrade the rest of the investigation uses.
Megan HolmesHolmes family history becomes part of the apartment investigation.
Follow her through the Gear Boy route rather than leaving her in Chapter 1.How to Unlock Every Chapter 2 Achievement

Final Checks Before You Close Chapter 2
Confirm these while this save is still open. They are the last things that fail after a late sequence.

- After the puzzle box, revisit Larry and bring the recovered chip to Todd.
Where Players Get Stuck
Use the Super Gear Boy as a missed-content detector
A reaction is a reason to stop and inspect, not background noise. Revisit each Addison Apartments floor and clear the related spirit encounter before advancing the investigation.
Do not leave room 403 for later
After receiving the crowbar, return to the sealed apartment and talk to Mrs. Sanderson's ghost. This is an easy place to miss the Unseen path while following only the main objective.
Treat the four seals as a checkpoint
The Devour route depends on finding all four supernatural seals. Finish the associated Gear Boy sections while the building remains open, then check the achievement list before moving on.
Follow up with Larry and Todd
Return to Larry after the puzzle-box and building discoveries, then take the recovered chip to Todd. The main route continues, but these follow-ups carry optional context and achievement timing.
Visual Clues
Official Steam screenshots. Use the caption to find the interaction. Codes that let the Chapter continue stay on the Chapter 2 puzzle list.
