Downtown walkthrough

Ferry landing to Riverside

Blocked shortcuts can open from the far side later. Do not invent a universal code for them.

1. Take the Downtown map from the bus-stop board inland from the ferry landing.
2. Follow Loomis Street toward the cable station. Guides report a burning-car detour down a ladder, across water and through a tunnel near Silver Road.
3. Take the Broken Plaque from the downstairs bench and repair the station bell board.
4. Take the Riverside Bridge Key from the board; the five missing bells are A, B, D, E and F.
5. Unlock the Market Street gate to Riverside. Return to Downtown later with the Flashlight and Crowbar for more rooms.

Bird cage, weapons shop and cinema

Sport Smart in NPC Tips is called Ammo Zone by Bonus Action. The card-suit pattern is reported, not independently menu-checked.

1. For Quiet Hour Cafe's cage: collect the red bird from the Clinic, yellow from the Movie Theater counter and silver near the caravan's padlocked ladder. Place all three for the reported Smooth Stone reward.
2. Market Street backlot suit lock: Spade, Heart, Club, Diamond. Sport Smart keypad: 2367; the reported clue is jersey 23, class of 67.
3. Buy the Projector Room Key from the cinema vending machine; Bonus Action reports $20. The projection booth has the Nailgun.
4. With the Flashlight/Crowbar, follow the cinema back-exit route to Apartment Street and Union Apartments.
5. For Rabbit Hole, open the boarded descending stair in the Downtown alley; use the dedicated town-square page for the next objectives.

Bowling Car Key and later returns

NPC Tips places the Bowling Car Key in the High Street alley tunnel on build 25806663. Its description says it opens a car trunk; the exact car and contents are not established by that table.

Clinic basement cage: 3819. Reported staff-door access uses the Pet Clinic Key from the crank-operated storage unit near UNION; return after Church Hill for the Crank Handle. The Syringe/tree interaction is covered under optional actions.

Bell F comes from Statue Park's three-mask puzzle; Bell E comes from the sewer pressure route. Neither is simply lying at the cable station.
