Church Hill walkthrough
Church Hill's reported chain is Sledgehammer to Crank Handle, crank to Cemetery well cube, three cubes to the tower, then the Congregation encounter and Bell B. The lowered drawbridge becomes the return route.
Evidence and limits
Checked 14 October 2026. NPC Tips uses build 25806663 for Church Hill rooms/items; traversal was reported from review builds. It leaves Cemetery Key placement, Funeral Home Family Key placement and Attic Key necessity unresolved. Tower symbols and combat steps are reported, not our tested playthrough.
Reach Church Hill and the Cemetery
The Downtown drawbridge is initially raised in reports. The crossing route swims from the docks to the Bus Depot side and lowers it at the ladder/control panel; guides recommend Sea Polished Glass Shard for the swim, not a tested mandatory possession flag.
- Cross the water by the reported route, reach the Bus Depot side and lower the drawbridge.
- Visit Parish Hall for the Flower Shop Key, map and coffee behind the reported padlocked side door.
- Take the church's Metal Cube and photograph Father Foster's necklace clue.
- Open Ashbrook Florist and note the flower prices. Funeral Home Family Key placement is disputed: Florist back room versus a neighboring-roof route.
- In the Funeral Home, collect the code clue and the reported Cemetery Key from the ground-floor coffin room reached by dropping from above.
- Open the Cemetery and take the Sledgehammer.
Get the Crank Handle before the well cube
The file source places the crank in a ruined house below the main street. It is not an unexplained pickup after completing the tower.
- Return to the lower street and smash the ruined house's cracked barrier with the Sledgehammer.
- Collect the Crank Handle.
- Use it on the Cemetery well's diamond socket to obtain the reported second Metal Cube.
Funeral Home code and cremation cube
Funeral keypad: 752. The reported clue is lily, rose, bluebell, whose Florist prices are 7, 5 and 2.
- Open the keypad stairwell and read Mortician's Ledger, which identifies casket 2.
- Move casket 2 onto the trolley/stretcher and send it upstairs.
- Transfer it to the cremation machine, start the cycle and wait for the fire to stop.
- Crouch into the chamber for the reported final Metal Cube.
Tower gate and church encounter
The gate already has its fourth cube. Triangle, Cross, Cross, Triangle is a player-reported left-to-right symbol pattern matching the source's file pattern.
- Fit the three collected cubes and set Triangle, Cross, Cross, Triangle.
- Climb the tower, collect the Diary Page and ring the bell.
- Complete the reported waves of church enemies, then collect Bell B through the left door.
- Keep the Crank Handle for the dock sluice and Town Hall clock. Dock fishing-shack crate 4514 holds the S-1 Carbine; Damaged Compass is in a nearby crate.
Fight and optional-key limits
Congregation is an achievement encounter, not evidence of a separate named boss with a move list. No weakness, phase or damage numbers are invented. The Attic Key belongs to this area's source records, not Union Apartments; its necessity for the main path remains unresolved.
Questions
What is the church tower code?
Triangle, Cross, Cross, Triangle, left to right. It is a symbol lock, not a number.
