Key Features
Power and Pack-a-Punch
- Open a route from the lobby to the stage through either side of the theatre. Flip the power switch on the stage to open the curtain and connect the stage to the seating area and lobby.
on the stage - Interact with the teleporter on the stage to begin linking, then run to the circular pad in the lobby and interact there to finish the link. Both parts are required before the stage teleporter will take you to Pack-a-Punch.
teleporter mainframe on the stage teleporter pad in the spawn room - Return to the stage teleporter and activate it. In the projector room, spend 5,000 points at Pack-a-Punch and collect your gun before the roughly 30-second visit ends. After returning and the cooldown finishing, link the two pads again for another trip.
- Teleporter returns can briefly send you through small side rooms. Search those rooms for a film reel and pick it up before the return completes. On your next Pack-a-Punch trip, interact with the projector to play the reel. Repeat trips to find the other reels; the room order is random.

Alley knock recorder Open helper
Listen to three groups at the blue Alley door. Record their counts, repeat them with melee hits, then listen for a new pattern. You must answer three different patterns.
Record all three groups you hear. This helper records counts; it does not listen to your microphone.
If the door rejects a reply, listen again and correct the counts. A new pattern needs a fresh observation.
