HINTS AND TIPS
Weapons – There are a lot of nasty folk out there, best to always have a weapon to hand just in case, never know when someone might jump out at you!
Walk the grid! - If you want to get all of the achievements such as finding all the birds/metal pieces and using all the weapons then you need to be pretty thorough and explore all areas. Like any forensic investigator you'll want to check everywhere around you including up high and down low. Remember the crime scenes are 3D - Walls, floors and roofs. Note that you can also move some objects.
Use the Taser - The taser is a pretty great way of disarming the bad guys so use it to your advantage to steal their weapons or to get in a few good hits before they recover. For some enemies the taser will be enough to finish them off.
Use the torch - Seems like common sense but for most of the game the torch is going to always be on. Not sure if switching it off will stop enemies from spotting you but either way it is a key piece of kit so use it.
Forensic tools - Most of the forensic tools are easy to use, you are shown how to use each one to begin with so just remember how they work and what each one is designed to identify or capture. At the bottom right a message will appear telling you to press X whenever you need to use your forensic tools.
Block – With all melee weapons you can block attacks from the enemy, it is very useful as it stops them taking away your life and also allows you to quickly counter attack. You need to get your timing right but this shouldn't be too hard to get used too.
Birds & Metal Pieces – If you are looking to collect all of these then your going to have to be quite thorough when searching levels. Most metal pieces are found near walls with eyes on them so that should help a bit. As for the birds listen out for the alive ones – you should be able to hear them. Also some of the others have flies around them which you can also hear when you are close.
WALKTHROUGH
The game follows quite a set linear path, you can explore rooms and locations all over the place but there is usually a fixed route that you must take to complete each level – this makes it a lot easier to go through so most people won't have a problem getting through each level. For those that do have problems here is a quick guide for each chapter.

OBJECTIVE: Find Serial Killer X and the Torturer
TASK: There are 4 trails leading from the entry foyer. Find their destinations
When you enter the house use your forensic tool to photograph the writing on the wall to the right. Use your next forensic tool - the white light to show the hidden words. You have to follow each of the different trails to their destinations. Look out for birds and metal pieces on the way. There is a bird on the table in the room on the left and at the end of that train there is a metal piece behind a chest of drawers in a room. There is no point in giving set directions, just follow the trails and collect the evidence at the end point of each of the trails. Also you can turn lights off to help you see the trails better.
Hint: One is in the oven, one down stairs in the basement. One requires you to go through the attic (and fight a bad guy) and the other is in a cupboard upstairs.
TASK: Dark path to righteousness is beyond which you see yourself to be.
The clever ones will get this pretty quickly - the big mirrored cupboard in the basement is where you want to go, get there and open it.
TASK: Search secret room for clues
Move along the corridor and head to the far end of the room. Use your forensic tool to photograph the information on the wooden table.
TASK: Investigate noise upstairs
Head back upstairs to the main entrance and watch the piano slide down the stairs.
TASK: Find an axe to cut free piano and continue searching upstairs
Move ahead and a few attackers will come after you. Kill them and take the crowbar from one of them. Go into the room on the left hand side of the main hallway and open the locked box with the crowbar. A few guns in here to help you out. More attackers will come, take them out and eventually one will have the axe you need. Use it on the rail beside the piano then slide it off. Head upstairs to the room beside the bathroom. Go inside and use your forensic tool to collect information from the fingers of the body.
A cut scene will kick in and at the end you'll need to hunt down the serial killer and attack him. Once you've got him enough times another cut scene will begin.
CHAPTER 10
OBJECTIVE: Hunt down and destroy the one responsible for all this madness
TASK: Escape burning barn.
Due to the fire you are pretty much stuck to a linear path. Head out and go right, enter the first door on the right and climb through the gap and under the next. Open the door and go outside. A cut scene will kick in. Move around, the fence will break near by, head through it and take out the attacker. Head down the path and over the gate, A few attackers will come after you here so take them all out before moving on. Head up the path and take the turn up to the right, enter the building and take the gun and the bird behind one of the boxes, use the rifle to kill the guys coming after you then turn the power on and head back to the mail path. Continue along the path. You see a wee creepy guy running up the hill, follow him and take out the attackers here. Then the bad guy with the sticks appears. Take him out and head on through and take out the guys who approach with the burning sticks.
Head up to the left and move through the barn area towards the tractor, a couplke of guys armed with guns will attack so avoid their shots then take them down. Go past them and head towards the house. Walk onto the wooden decked area and take the weapon and bird from the table ahead, a few more guys will attack from behind and ahead so take them out and head round to the house. As there is no torch I find it useful to keep the burning stick as a weapon. You'll encounter the bad guy with sticks again here. There are two sub machine guns on tables on the wooden decking area so killing him with one of them should help you.
Head to the right hand side of the house and enter through the doorway, pick up the metal piece on the right and then move on there is a stick on a door holding up a bird take the stick and you'll enter a dark room, go through the door to face the bad guy.
Prepare for a good fight here, first of all a few big guys and a few wee creepy guys will come after you, there are a good few medi kits on the wall on the right should you need them. Get a weapon you like (A few can be found around you) and when you kill them all the bad ninja bloke will come down for a fight. He's quite quick and sneaky with attacks so try block and get a few attacks in before backing off. When he falls you have to use the d-pad and rip the metal from his body. Then he'll flee, you need to climb the ladder and fight him again and again rip the metal from his body. You need to do this a third time to finish him off. Remember to grab medi kits when you need them.
Then that's you. You just need to decide if you'll kill The serial killer X or let him live, then it is all done.
Hopefully this walkthrough has given you some helpful pointers or pointed you in the right direction when you have got yourself stuck or lost. I don't think all the metal pieces or bird locations are included as some of them seem to be rather tricky to track down – part of the fun of playing through the game again I guess to try locate those hidden secrets and achievements.

HINTS AND TIPS
Weapons – There are a lot of nasty folk out there, best to always have a weapon to hand just in case, never know when someone might jump out at you!
Walk the grid! - If you want to get all of the achievements such as finding all the birds/metal pieces and using all the weapons then you need to be pretty thorough and explore all areas. Like any forensic investigator you'll want to check everywhere around you including up high and down low. Remember the crime scenes are 3D - Walls, floors and roofs. Note that you can also move some objects.
Use the Taser - The taser is a pretty great way of disarming the bad guys so use it to your advantage to steal their weapons or to get in a few good hits before they recover. For some enemies the taser will be enough to finish them off.
Use the torch - Seems like common sense but for most of the game the torch is going to always be on. Not sure if switching it off will stop enemies from spotting you but either way it is a key piece of kit so use it.
Forensic tools - Most of the forensic tools are easy to use, you are shown how to use each one to begin with so just remember how they work and what each one is designed to identify or capture. At the bottom right a message will appear telling you to press X whenever you need to use your forensic tools.
Block – With all melee weapons you can block attacks from the enemy, it is very useful as it stops them taking away your life and also allows you to quickly counter attack. You need to get your timing right but this shouldn't be too hard to get used too.
Birds & Metal Pieces – If you are looking to collect all of these then your going to have to be quite thorough when searching levels. Most metal pieces are found near walls with eyes on them so that should help a bit. As for the birds listen out for the alive ones – you should be able to hear them. Also some of the others have flies around them which you can also hear when you are close.
WALKTHROUGH
The game follows quite a set linear path, you can explore rooms and locations all over the place but there is usually a fixed route that you must take to complete each level – this makes it a lot easier to go through so most people won't have a problem getting through each level. For those that do have problems here is a quick guide for each chapter.
CHAPTER 1
OBJECTIVE: Follow Detective Dickenson to crime scene
Follow the detective under the tape and to the crime scene.

Move around the room looking for a way out, its pretty linear so there is only really one path you can follow, watch out for the wee creepy guys jumping around though. When you see Rosa you need to jump down the gap and proceed through the level. There is another bird located on the table in the room when the three guys jump down from the roof and attack you. At the far end three guys will burst out a room and attack you, kill them then enter the room they came out of. Move the object at the end to get the metal piece. Then leave the room and go down towards the left and meet up with Rosa.
TASK: Lead Rosa downstairs to the basement
Head down the stairs and through the double doors. You'll begin to search the records with Rosa.
OBJECTIVE: Exit Library
TASK: Secure stacks making it safe for Rosa to reach exit.
All you need to do here is kill the guys in the room with you. Simple enough really just use your taser and block attacks and hit them with counter attacks and kicks.
TASK: Meet Rosa at Exit
Head towards the exit to meet Rosa
CHAPTER 8
OBJECTIVE: Find missing teacher linked to Carl Anderson, a.k.a The Torturer.
Move along the corridor and enter the second room on your right - there is a bird hidden on the floor behind the desk. The gate ahead requires a sledgehammer. Go up the corridor to the right and through the last door on the left. Walk through and duck under the broken wall and collect the sledgehammer - then go back and go through the gate and up the stairs.
Move along the corridor and then go straight ahead and open the door on your left. You'll see a large guy throw one of the creepy looking blokes out towards you. Kill these guys and move into the room ahead. Go through into the hall and then into the open room, kill the two guys who fall through the roof. Move on through the class rooms and you will see a guy writing on the blackboard. Kill him then use the forensic tool on the lips at the other blackboard.
OBJECTIVE: Find missing teacher, a Mr. Samuel Tibbits
TASK: Search for clues leading to Mr. Tibbits whereabouts.
Head back towards the exit of the classroom and you will fall through the floor to a room below, take out the guy in this room, can take either door from this room - they'll both lead ot the same place eventually. A room with meat hanging up in it, go through the room and climb through the space. Take out the guys in this room and the next hallway - careful though one has a sub machine-gun. Once you take them out go up the stairs and through the door into the gymnasium.
Go to the right and through the exit door and down the stairs - watch the sneaky guy under the stairs. Go down the corridor behind you to collect another bird. Move back along the corridor - a door on your left requires a fire axe so move past and down to the end of the corridor. Enter the rather messy bloodstained kitchen and move into the freezer area. You'll run into a couple of guys riding on hooks coming towards you. Then a large person in a cooks uniform to take them down the best bet is to use the taser and go in for a few hits then back of and repeat.
Pick up the meat cleaver and use it to get the fire axe of the guy on the table ahead. Then go back and smash through the door. You'll know be in the gymnasium now, go across the hall and turn the power on - this will lower the basketball hoop which has an arm attached to it. Use your forensic tool on the fingers. Go through to the other side of the gym and the floor will break - jump down and head to the right and climb the ladder beside the first aid box. Head to the left and into the coridor, go through the door and down the stairs and you'll see a broken wall, go ot the left to unlock the test pattern achievement. There is also a bird beside the cardboard box. Then go back up the stairs and through the door at the top of the stairs.
You'll now be outside, go through the gate and into the playground, go to the right and you'll see a body that looks ...well like you. Fight off the attackers (the rifle is in a room just behind you) then go to the far side of the playground (to the right hand side from the room with the rifle and jump down into the gap and through the window. Go along this corridor and into the locker room area. Proceed through into the other locker area and climb through into the room, push away the grid and climb through into the the locker area. Watch out for a few attackers in here. Use your forensic tool on the locker at the far end of the room then open the locker. Have fun taking his picture!
OBJECTIVE: Meet Vanhorn in front of school
Grab the shovel and head into the shower area. Use the shovel on the security gate and turn the valve. Go along the corridor and enter the door on the left. Go in and jump down into the pool. Things will go weird here, kill all the attackers and get the sub machine-gun off the guy at the end of the pool. Climb out of the pool and enter the second door on the wall and get the fire axe then go back and smash through the other door with the axe. Move onwards through the shower area and toilets. There is a bird on a table at the end of the corridor outside the toilets. A cut scene will kick in here. Walk to the end of the hallway and towards the door.
CHAPTER 9
OBJECTIVE: Find Serial Killer X and the Torturer
TASK: There are 4 trails leading from the entry foyer. Find their destinations
When you enter the house use your forensic tool to photograph the writing on the wall to the right. Use your next forensic tool - the white light to show the hidden words. You have to follow each of the different trails to their destinations. Look out for birds and metal pieces on the way. There is a bird on the table in the room on the left and at the end of that train there is a metal piece behind a chest of drawers in a room. There is no point in giving set directions, just follow the trails and collect the evidence at the end point of each of the trails. Also you can turn lights off to help you see the trails better.
Hint: One is in the oven, one down stairs in the basement. One requires you to go through the attic (and fight a bad guy) and the other is in a cupboard upstairs.
TASK: Dark path to righteousness is beyond which you see yourself to be.
The clever ones will get this pretty quickly - the big mirrored cupboard in the basement is where you want to go, get there and open it.
TASK: Search secret room for clues
Move along the corridor and head to the far end of the room. Use your forensic tool to photograph the information on the wooden table.
TASK: Investigate noise upstairs
Head back upstairs to the main entrance and watch the piano slide down the stairs.
TASK: Find an axe to cut free piano and continue searching upstairs
Move ahead and a few attackers will come after you. Kill them and take the crowbar from one of them. Go into the room on the left hand side of the main hallway and open the locked box with the crowbar. A few guns in here to help you out. More attackers will come, take them out and eventually one will have the axe you need. Use it on the rail beside the piano then slide it off. Head upstairs to the room beside the bathroom. Go inside and use your forensic tool to collect information from the fingers of the body.
A cut scene will kick in and at the end you'll need to hunt down the serial killer and attack him. Once you've got him enough times another cut scene will begin.
CHAPTER 10
OBJECTIVE: Hunt down and destroy the one responsible for all this madness
TASK: Escape burning barn.
Due to the fire you are pretty much stuck to a linear path. Head out and go right, enter the first door on the right and climb through the gap and under the next. Open the door and go outside. A cut scene will kick in. Move around, the fence will break near by, head through it and take out the attacker. Head down the path and over the gate, A few attackers will come after you here so take them all out before moving on. Head up the path and take the turn up to the right, enter the building and take the gun and the bird behind one of the boxes, use the rifle to kill the guys coming after you then turn the power on and head back to the mail path. Continue along the path. You see a wee creepy guy running up the hill, follow him and take out the attackers here. Then the bad guy with the sticks appears. Take him out and head on through and take out the guys who approach with the burning sticks.
Head up to the left and move through the barn area towards the tractor, a couplke of guys armed with guns will attack so avoid their shots then take them down. Go past them and head towards the house. Walk onto the wooden decked area and take the weapon and bird from the table ahead, a few more guys will attack from behind and ahead so take them out and head round to the house. As there is no torch I find it useful to keep the burning stick as a weapon. You'll encounter the bad guy with sticks again here. There are two sub machine guns on tables on the wooden decking area so killing him with one of them should help you.
Head to the right hand side of the house and enter through the doorway, pick up the metal piece on the right and then move on there is a stick on a door holding up a bird take the stick and you'll enter a dark room, go through the door to face the bad guy.
Prepare for a good fight here, first of all a few big guys and a few wee creepy guys will come after you, there are a good few medi kits on the wall on the right should you need them. Get a weapon you like (A few can be found around you) and when you kill them all the bad ninja bloke will come down for a fight. He's quite quick and sneaky with attacks so try block and get a few attacks in before backing off. When he falls you have to use the d-pad and rip the metal from his body. Then he'll flee, you need to climb the ladder and fight him again and again rip the metal from his body. You need to do this a third time to finish him off. Remember to grab medi kits when you need them.
Then that's you. You just need to decide if you'll kill The serial killer X or let him live, then it is all done.
Hopefully this walkthrough has given you some helpful pointers or pointed you in the right direction when you have got yourself stuck or lost. I don't think all the metal pieces or bird locations are included as some of them seem to be rather tricky to track down – part of the fun of playing through the game again I guess to try locate those hidden secrets and achievements.

The taser
---------------
This, whilst often being the least used item, is my life saver. In many ticky sitiuations and some scary ones, where I have little time to swing with my main weapon, this beautiful little gadget has protected me. It is equiped extremely fast and can hit enemies pretty much all the time. When unsure what is lurking round the corner, be sure to have your finger over the taser button. It momentarily stuns the enemy giving you plenty of time to whip out your crow bar, shotgun, or shovel and batter the enemy. If you are faced against enemies which are carrying guns, the taser allows you to go over to the stunned enemy and quickly steal their gun.
---------------
The objects
---------------
Most of the objects are pretty useful, but the game does allow you to see which are better than others. Many of the light objects offer a very quick blow to the enemy, but dont ensure much damage. A very common object which is constantly arround you is the metal pipe, often found on walls. My favourite weapon has either got to be the axe or the wooden plank with nails sticking out. Many would argue with this by saying any gun is far better than manualy controller weapons, however, guns tend to run out very quickly. When fighting an enemy, like suggested before, I recommend that you always stun at least one of your enemies before hurling your weapon at them.
---------------
The realistic enemies
---------------
The great thing about the game 'condemned' on the xbox 360 is the realism of your surrounding enemies. They too, can use nearby objects in aid of their defence. If you are ever left one on one with a dangerous person (which is very often) and you are very low on health, what I tend to do is back off for a little while, and wait for them to hide in the nearest location which is very dark. Then you can go back, stun them, and kill them very easily. Another tip would be, that if you ever see two or more enemies together, dont interrupt. Let them do their own thing - this is often beating the hell out of each other. This way, the number of enemies is shortened and your health remains intact.
---------------
Confusing objects
---------------
If at any stage of the game you are unsure of where or what to do next, and you spot a perculiar looking....thing, never hesitate to go over and check it out. Included in the game is a clever feature, which shows you whenever you walk past an object wheather you can use it or not. The most commong button is A and so, if you can use an object, when next to it, on your screen a short sentence should appear saying "Press 'A' to use". This also happens with evidence equipment. If you are in an area where something dodgy has been going on or where clues have been left, you are prompted to press the X button and to use your equipment to your advantage.
---------------
Evidence equipment
---------------
Now there is also another clever feature which the producers of Condemned have allowed the player to use. This is that when you get out and use your clue equipment, on each device their is either a bar or flashig light, telling you and directing you to the evidence. Without this it would take much longer to find your all important clues and to track down your enemy.
