Item #9 - Episode 2 Chapter 4 - As the chapter start, follow Amana. When she detect the first shibito and go down the stairs on the right, ignore her. Stalk the shibito to the end of the trail. Maybe you can attack it with your fists and push him down the slope, but I was unable to. Instead I ran past him and climbed the stairs on the left.

Archive item 9 is there, it's a tablet. Item #10 - Episode 2 Chapter 6 - Once you get the .38 pistol, look behind you for a handle near the rail. Activate it to change the rails alignment.

Item #12 - Episode 3 Chapter 2 - Go through the level as usual until you pick the key in the basement. Get out the incinerator room, turn right, climb the stairs for 2 levels and an half. Don't step on the third floor yet, crouch at the bottom of the last stair segment. Use Sight Jack and locate the nurse on the third floor. Pay attention to her pattern: #1 - Nurse Station #2 - Patient Room #3 - Outside The archive item is in the nurse station but you can't open the door, it's locked. You will need to time yourself. When the nurse is outside, go in the patient room. When she sit at her table in the nurse station, press the button to call her in the patient room. Rush to the bottom of the first half of the stairs and wait for her to go to the patient room. Once she passes you, run to the nurse station. Pick the archive item on her desk, it's a letter from a patient, then run outside. There is a trap on the balcony. At first, Bella don't want to go down, but if you insist she will drop to the second floor and out of reach of the nurse. Go to the reception and continue the game story. Item #13 - Storyline item. Item #14 - Storyline item. Item #15 - Episode 3 Chapter 4 - Once you are reunited with Miyako, head for the fuel storage. As soon as your path rejoin with the path over you to your left (very short distance) turn right. There is a small elevation you can climb (and 2 sections on your map; look like a small alcove). You will find a small table and a guide to the village written a long time ago. Item #16 - Storyline item. Item #17 - Storyline item. Item #18 - Episode 4 Chapter 2 - Do not snipe. Go down the tower, run to the spot where Sam was being attacked, he's not there anymore. Quickly make your way to the noodle shop and examine the table to find a bowl of noddle and your item archive. If you are too slow, the policeman will eat them up and you will get nothing. Item #19 - Episode 4 Chapter 4 - Once you start the chapter, beat down the shibito who spotted you in the previous movie. Inside the room you will find the closet key. Use that key to gain access to the storage closet and pick up half of a pair of wire cutter. The second half is on the second floor, the room on your right as your are done climbing the stairs. Once your wire cutter are complete, go to the room next to the storage closet and open the little shrine. The disposition of the items inside are your archive item.

Item #23 - Episode 5 Chapter 4 - In the cemetery as you look for memory of the past. You will find the seal to break and the archive item inside a tomb at random. Use sight jacking to catch the ghost of someone, lock it, then move toward the grave and examine them. Item #24 - Storyline item. Item #25 - Episode 6 Chapter 2 - This one will require a lot of back tracking. Make note of where the pursuer (shibito Seigo) and the miner with the shovel near the siren key are. After you activate the siren, run to the elevator. Go kill the miner shibito in the lower level and pick his shovel. Go to where the pursuer was ambushing you on top of the ladder and check the wall of rock behind where he was. You will get the option to dig. Do it, watch the cutscene and you just bagged on more item. Item #26 - Storyline item. Item #27 - Episode 6 Chapter 4 - You were here once before. If at that time you did not use Howard to close the floodgate and drain the ditch, you won't have access to this item. If you did however, from the start of the level, go left, down the stairs, do not pass under the fallen tree. Look for a way to go down in the ditch. Run through it until you get to the stairs on your map, climb them and look for a small shrine to your left. Examine it for the item. Item #28 - Episode 7 Chapter 2 - First, in episode 4 chapter 2, destroy the bowl of noodle before the policeman can eat them. Next, in episode 7 chapter 2, do not kill the brain, you need the policeman, now a fly, to open the backdoor of the lucky triangle for you so he can eat. Enter, kill him and get the item. Item #29 - Episode 7 Chapter 4 - You will have to rush to get this one. You will also need the can opener that you should have picked off in Episode 2 Chapter 6. After the cutscene when you first climb the smokestack, you will aim in front of you and wait. Do not shoot at Sam, you won't hit him. A spider will turn the corner, kill it. That will alert Sam and he will come at you from the front, a little to the left. Kill him and he will drop the can opener. Now look down a little. You will see an open fridge. You must drop down from your roof to the fridge without alerting the giant brain and reach that fridge. The item is the can inside. Item #30 - Storyline item. Item #31 - Episode 8 Chapter 2 - Remember the shibito that broke your first meeting with Sam ? You will have to stalk him until he open the gate on his patrol path.

Easiest way is to let yourself fall through the roof like Howard did in the beginning of the game. Inspect the corners of the room to find a family pictures album. Item #37 - Storyline item. Item #38 - Episode 10 Chapter 2 - Once you are on the roof and see you got your checkpoint, press start and restart from the checkpoint. As it start, crouch, turn around. The daughter should leave her room. Enter, hide in the closet. When she comes back, sight jack her father. Wait for him to go down the stairs. Get out of the closet, aligne yourself to the left of the chair but still in range to hide by just turning around. Yell then hide. The daughter should leave the room, close the door behind her, then go examine the radio for your archive item. Item #39 - Episode 10 Chapter 2 - Before leaving the Ito house, search the daughter room. Item #40 - Episode 10 Chapter 2 - This item and item #41 are linked. To get #41 you will need to get (or get again) this item first and not die/use continue until you pick up #41. Once you are out of the Ito house, go to the room and pick up the storage closet key. Go back to the house main door (not gate, door) and ring the doorbell. Hide to your right behind a fence. The "mother" shibito will open the kitchen door, investigate and eventually go toward the room. That's your cue to enter the house and get to the storage closet to pick up the item. Item #41 - Episode 10 Chapter 2 - Get item #40. Exit the house again. When you are back on ground level, look for a tree with a large base between the clothesline and the dog house. You will apply the bug catching kit molasses there. Wait for 2-3 minute of real time and look again. You just caught item #41. Item #42 - Episode 10 Chapter 4 - After you closed the floodgate, go down in the ditch via the bridge by the dilapidated shack (take the hunting traps inside). Climb the high wall and then the stairs to get near where Bella found item #27 in episode 6. Look to the left of the shrine for a trap. Set a new trap at the same spot. Go to the side of the church, a bit right of the .38 revolver in the green plant with white flowers. You will hear the rabbit run away. Next, go where you picked up the old guide to the village (there is also a seal to unlock there). You will hear the rabbit again. Now go to your trap, you will hear the rabbit get caught before you get there. Examine the blood trail and voila ! Item #43 - Episode 11 Chapter 2 - Did you drain the water out of the mine at the pumping station in episode 8 chapter 2 ? If you did, you still need to find a detonator. After you picked up the wooden stake, take the only elevator left. Once your up, do not move. Let the shibito open the gated door, take his bolt cutter and cut down the elevator door. Now kill it. Inside the gated room you will find the detonator. Go down via the ladder. Once down, go as if you were going to the main shaft but keep looking at the right wall. A narrow path is open there for you. The path goes down then up again and it's time to use the detonator. Go back to the wall you just cleared to pick up the item. Item #44 - Storyline item. Item #45 - Episode 11 Chapter 4 - You need to get item #39, #40 and #41 in the same go to prepare for those event (you will get a message if you do it right as always). When it's done, make your way to the lucky triangle the same way you did for item #28 except this time you do not want to knock the brain out. You have to let our hungry policeman open the door to eat noodles for you. Once you're there with Bella, look around the bathroom entrance for an "examine" prompt. Let Bella work her magic and bag the item. Item #46 - Storyline item. Item #47 - Episode 12 Chapter 2 - Earlier, in episode 8 chapter 4, you needed Bella to pick the keys in the ditch. To do that you needed Melissa to go to the roof of the hospital and play with the valve.
