Last update: 11 May 2016
Way to unlock: You need to complete main quest 9 - Higher Education (Loft on the map).
Reward: 20000 experience points
Head towards the South of the Old Town (point 2a on the map) and watch out for the infected-toads here, who may be lurking around. Find a small hole and jump inside, then swim through the flooded tunnel. Thanks to this, you will reach the door to the sewers. Right after you walk into the sewers, find the broken part of the flooring. Jump into the water and reach the other end of the underwater tunnel. Enter the big hole here and follow the path of flares.
Soon, you will run into zombies; you should especially watch out for the bombers and prevent them from approaching you. Soon after a new door opens, Crane will faint for a moment, but do not panic, this has been scripted and you can do nothing about it. Reach Michael here and talk to him. You will learn that you need to plant explosives in four different parts of the building. Collect four remotely controlled Explosives on the nearby shelf and open the red door to start your exploration of the skyscraper. First, you need to reach floor 10 so, climb up the stairs. After you get to the first floor, find the elevator and set it into motion.
Unfortunately, the elevator stops before floor 10, halfway up the shaft. After it does, jump towards the manhole and climb onto the roof. Wait for the screen distortion to stop off a little and start climbing, by jumping towards black and yellow edges. You need to turn around to locate the ledges above. Finally, jump towards the opened door on floor 9. Start exploring this floor and especially note the ceilings of the individual rooms. One of the ceilings is completely destroyed and you can climb here to get to floor 10. Explore the area and watch out here, because you will be bumping into zombies on a regular basis and, among them, there are two bombers.
On floor 10, you need to reach apartments 105 and 106. In both of them, you will have to eliminate several zombies and to kill larger groups, use Molotovs. In each of the apartments, find the cooker and interact with it to plant a bomb. After you plant both, find a new staircase. Climb up the stairs to floor 12 and watch out for the bomber and the infected around. Just like before, you need to find a room with a big hole, where ceiling used to be. Jump to reach the ledge above and climb to floor 13.
On floor 13, check out apartments 134 and 137. In apartment 134, you find a new type of infected-children, called screamers. The first time around, you cannot avoid the deafening scream of the screamer, which stuns Crane and summons all of the nearby zombies. Use Molotovs to your aid and eliminate the incoming monsters. Watch out for the toad, among others, who should appear on this floor. After you have secured the area, approach apartment 134 again. You can try killing screamers, e.g. with guns, but it is better to follow the game's suggestion. Run up to the monster and press the interaction key/button to soothe down and kill the screamer, without letting him react in any way.
After you have cleared apartment 134, find the cooker and plant the third explosive. Walk over to apartment 137, where you do not find any new surprises. After you listen to the radio conversation with Michael, head back towards the lower floors, by jumping into the big holes in the apartments that you have been to. You need to reach the elevator and slide the wings of the door apart. Jump towards the ropes in the shaft and abseil to the very bottom. Jump into the elevator, press the button to start it and wait until you get to another floor. Watch out because, right after you exit the elevator, you will be attacked by a larger group of the infected, with a goon among them (you do not need to kill him).
Follow the linear corridors to the yellow area, in the basement, marked on the map. Find the detonator here (watch out for bombers!) and pick it up. Jump into the nearby tunnel, follow it to the end and move along. Soon, you will reach the area in sewers, where there is another goon. You can try to defeat him, or ignore him, by exploiting the fact that he is sluggish. Climb the ladder and jump over from a balcony to another (they need to be flawless) and reach a big pipe. Climb the last ladder and exit the sewers (point 2b on the map). Have Crane detonate the charges and listen to several conversations.
