Walkthrough | Pt. 1: Break Out
Objective: Escape from your apartment
To leave the apartment, go into the hallway and collect the wrench from the corpse. Smash the glass window at the balcony to reveal the lab.
Objective: Get to the main lobby
Go right to the “Simulation Sound Stage” and through the “Exit” door. Go to the TranStar facade and enter the lab. Cross the hall and go upstairs, then enter the Decontamination chamber.
Enter the Research and Design office. There are two exits – collect the keycard or climb up into the maintenance hatch in the back-right corner of the room. The keycard is in Dr. Sylvan Bellamy’s office. It’s the largest office. Find the keycard on the desk.
Collect the GLOO Cannon from the corpse before entering the Foyer. Beware the swarm of Mimics – collect the Neuromod from the display to the left of the exit door to complete the “Everything You Know is About to Change” optional quest.
Use the large bulkhead door to exit and enter the Talos 1 Lobby. Go down the stairs in the lobby. This completes the first main story quest. Next up, you’ll need to access Morgan Yu’s office on the third floor of the main lobby.
