Examine the side of the door leading to the Guest Room and retrieve some 44 Mag Ammo on the flooring.

Retrace the steps covered by Mia and enter the Guest Room. Get past the insect nest to reach the door at the end, and slice any threatening bugs with the knife. Enter the hall and head left to obtain Old House Map, check under the table to obtain Burner Fuel. Proceed to the Gallery which Mia solved with the Shadow Puzzle.

If you opt to use it, go back to the Guest Room and destroy the swarm’s nest to obtain some Burner ammo from the locker, check near the orange box for an herb.

Altar Path

As you go through, a cutscene will appear. Avoid confronting Marguerite up front as she will pester you with a swarm of insects. If in case she does, just dodge as much of it as you can and use the Burner to repel them. Head to the Safe Room and wait for her to leave the Gallery so that you can get to work on the shadow puzzle unharmed.

Crawlspace

Crawl through the opening and follow Mia’s footsteps, to get to the other side of the Main Room. Examine the right trash bin for an herb and the worn-out tire for Solid Fuel.

Crawl to the opening where Mia was abducted, then obtain the Psychostimulants from the right crate, attack the Mr. Everywhere doll on the left shelf, then go back to the right side and obtain the Chem Fluid pack.

Ethan can access portions that Mia left off on the Tape, go deeper in the space and obtain the Crank at the far end. Go back out, and be careful when going through the Dining Room.

Ready your gun and shoot Marguerite if she catches you through the cracks of the dilapidated house. By the time she drops near, fire a shot from the Grenade Launcher then quickly switch to unload some Shotgun blasts. Keep unloading until she finally retreats.

Be wary of her presence since she will keep a close surveillance of your whereabouts. Keep moving to distract her even if you don’t see her, fire a Grenade round when she rears her ugly head. If you catch her active nest, destroy it with the Burner. Reload your weapons whenever she escapes, while scouting. It’s best to have the packs of Chem Fluids and Fuels handy at this point to craft more ammunition.

In addition, you may also opt to use the Psychostimulants as there are several items scattered in this area. Check the green table on 1F for some Burner Fuel, then proceed to middle portion of the greenhouse for a pack of Chem Fluid. Search the locker for a Chem Fluid and Solid Fuel. There are many items near the ladder, examine the crate beside it for Burner Fuel, then search around for an herb, and First Aid Med, check the tractor for a Chem Fluid, then locate a hidden Burner Fuel on the wall. There is a narrow path which contains additional Burner Fuel, and a stash of Handgun Ammo. Ascend the damaged top floor to obtain some Handgun Ammo from the crate, then examine the drawer for Burner Fuel.

Unload your shots to stun Marguerite and her arms will eventually tighten and she will collapse. When she has finally perished, take her Lantern then head through the crumbled gate. Take the Burner Ammo from the drawer as you go, this concludes coverage on the Greenhouse.
