Resident Evil Revelations 2 - Ep 1: Explore the prison and find the Detention Centre Map
The next part of our walkthrough explains how to survive the prison, find Moira's Crowbar, and unlock the next part of your quest for freedom.
Once you've made it through the Experiment Block door, you can catch your breath and then head around the corner to the left.
Examine the body on the ground nearby to retrieve the very-much-welcome Shotgun M147S. Once it's yours, continue along the corridor as it turns left. There's a large red crate blocking your path through the doorway ahead, so - in the spirit of conserving precious ammo - smash it with your melee attack and then grab the Handgun Ammo that comes tumbling out.
Move into the next room and you'll spot another red crate a little further ahead, this time containing a Green Herb. At this point in the single-player game, you automatically switch control to Moira for the next part of your quest.
Look around to locate three glistening objects on the shelves in one corner of the room. Focus your beam on them to uncover some more Handgun Ammo, a Topaz (100BP) and a Crowbar.
Where to find Moira's crowbar
The Crowbar acts as Moira's primary weapon, enabling her to perform a simple melee swing, stun certain enemies from behind, and deliver a follow-up blow to downed - but not dead - enemies. Use your new tool to prise the wooden panel from the nearby blue door and you'll automatically regain control of Claire.
Heal up if necessary and make your way through into the next, even grimier, corridor. Immediately after entering, you'll catch a glimpse of another mysterious figure, so give chase once more, pushing further along the linear corridor.
In the next room, use Moira's torch to uncover two more stashes of Handgun Ammo on the ground, then switch back to Claire and smash the nearby crate to secure some Shotgun Ammo - you'll need it shortly. With your pockets now bulging, interact with the shutter at the end of the room and proceed into the next corridor.
Climb the staircase beyond to enter the main prison complex. Before pushing forward, do a U-turn and investigate the open cell door behind you. Inside you'll find a crate containing a Green Herb.
Back out in the main area, head toward the open door at the far end, ignoring the anguished wails of the - thankfully restrained - inmates. Following a brief cut-scene, nip through the open cell door to the left and shine Moira's torch on the ground to reveal more Handgun Ammo.
Back outside, continue onward, ignore the staircase leading up to the Control Room, and pass through the gate to find a blocked-off area full of nefarious torture equipment.
To gain access, you need to locate a Gear Kog (yes, with a 'K') and use it on the panel to the right. Sadly, it's going to be a while before that happens.
Find the Detention Centre Map
Before moving on, grab the Detention Centre Map from one of the two nearby tables and the 'Improving Security Measures' document on the other. Next, proceed along the corridor to your right and reveal the hidden Shotgun Ammo on the floor using Moira's torch.
Make your way through the door at the end of the passage and duck into the small alcove immediately to the left. Once you've located the 'Excerpt from Kafka's "In the Penal Colony"' document and the crate containing a Ruby (250BP), turn around and pass through the next blue door to proceed.
There's some hidden Shotgun Ammo near a pipe in the corner of the room, and a strange contraption in the centre. Attempt to fiddle with the machine's controls and you'll be informed that it's currently inoperable. So begins your next quest to turn the power back on.
