Walkthrough by Chrissie August 2012

Launching Resonance

After installation you may have to right-click on the game icon & Run as administrator.

This will bring up a box where you have the option to alter settings to be compatible with your system. Click Save and Run at the bottom to launch the main screen.

Main screen

Here you have the options for New Game, Load Game, Credits & Exit. 

Game controls

If you click on New Game or Load Game (you can skip the news report by pressing Esc), once the playing area is active, click on the red power switch icon top left of the screen to bring up the Main menu & click on HOW TO PLAY which gives excellent visual examples & saves a lot of written explanation here!

Main menu

Here you can adjust the volume control, choose to show tutorial messages, & show commentary (not recommended on a first playthrough as it contains spoilers!)

You also have the option to RESUME, SAVE GAME, LOAD GAME & QUIT & check on your ACHIEVEMENTS.

SAVE GAME: There are 39 over-writeable slots plus one reserved for an autosave on exiting the game. The saves record the time & date but can be labelled. NB Games saves from the demo can’t be used & will give an error message.

ACHIEVEMENTS: During the course of the game you will automatically gain some achievements – others are optional. Any gained are listed here – hover your cursor over the Locked ones to get a description of what’s needed!

Points & achievements

The game also uses a scoring system. Some achievements can only be gained at the expense of accumulating points. To unlock all of the achievements & get a full final score involves re-playing the game. Achievements gained on completing a game are retained on starting a new game but the score starts at 0! 

Hint system

The game employs a very subtle hint system as soon as you reach a part in the game with more than one playable character. You can click on them to get a clue if you’re not sure what to do next!

About this walkthrough

A lot of the game can be played in any order game & using any character(s) providing they have the necessary access and/or items. There are also alternative inventory and/or memories that can be used to achieve the same goal.

The variations are too numerous to mention so this is just one way!

The top indicator lights are lit so click on the power switch to turn them off. Click on the burned wire to remove it.

Right-click on the primary pin to learn it feeds electricity to the grid & then right-click on one of the intermediate pins to learn that you only need to wire certain ones to pass the right amount of power to the terminal pin which should then open the door.

The indicator lights show the power levels of the main pins at the top & bottom.

The object is to connect up the right combination of pins to light up only the top row of 10 indicator lights connected to the terminal pin. So you need to work out the power value of each pin.

Start off by working out the values of any pins that can be connected up individually.

Labelling the pins left–right top row: 1, 2, 3, middle row: 4, 5, 6 & bottom row: 7, 8, 9, click on the loose wires connected to the keypad to grab them, and then click on the primary pin at the top.

Click on the power switch to turn the power off.  Click on the loose wires to clear the grid & repeat the process to connect pin 9.  

Using the power values of pins no 7 &/or 9 as a reference, gradually introduce & work out the values of the remaining pins.  

Working out the power value of each pin:

* Pin 8 has a value of –9 in a connection including pins with positive power i.e. pins 7 & 9, but has a value of +10 when connected only to pins with negative power.

Connect the pins that add up to a power value of +10 i.e. pins 4, 5 & 7 & click on the power switch.

Voila! The heavy door opens (+10)

DECIPHERING DR MORALES’ JOURNAL (Optional)

Work out the cypher

As Anna, click on The cypher in LTM & look at the arrangements of the un-obscured letters.

See that they are in alphabetical order in the first grid which, looking at the middle row continues in the second grid. Fill in the missing letters that fit into the sequences.

Look at the shape of the part of the grid each letter is positioned in to establish its corresponding symbol.

Decipher the journal

In inventory, click on Morales’ journal.              

On the first page, look for one of each of the 13 symbols (only one symbol is not present). Click on it & type the corresponding letter which will repeat for each identical symbol throughout the 38 pages of the journal.

You can now fill in the missing letter for each of 2 words that can’t be anything else i.e. Line 2 – THIS & Line 3 - MAKE.

There is now enough info to work out more of the cypher. But the easiest way to decipher the journal, most of which can be done on the first page, is to gradually fill in the letters as the words become obvious e.g. as in the following order: line 4 – DECISION, line 1 - ANNA, DEAR, line 2 – SENDING, YOU, JOURNAL, FOR,

line 3 – KEEPING, line 4 – THE, line 6 – WAS.

On completing the first page, click through the journal to fill in any missing letters i.e. V in JAVI (page 2, line 6), X in EXPERIMENT (page 4, line 5), Z in PULVERIZING (page 8, line 1), Q in FREQUENCY (page 14, line 6).

Working out the rest of the cypher

After completing the words THIS & MAKE look at the symbols for H & E. Compare their shapes to those within the grids in the first part of the cypher. See that E corresponds to the position of A & continues the top sequence. H corresponds to the position of D - so the grid arrangements must be repeated, with the addition of dots. Fill in the letters that fit in with the alphabetical order then work out their corresponding symbols. 

If using the completed cypher as an alternative to deciphering the journal, you will see that there are extra symbols not included, or with any logical connection to the cypher, for O, T, E & A! 

Once the deciphering is completed, back out from the journal to hear Anna comment “That’s it. That’s the message” (+10)

Read the journal to learn more about Morales’ research, why he installed a vault & regularly slept in the simulator, & also that a set of Resonance devices went missing. His last entry on April 11 mentions that he will be calling Ed in the morning.

Use Morales credit on him but he won’t give out any information without a will & a death certificate - receive Get will and death cert. in LTM (+3)

Click on the ornate safe & try to solve the puzzles if you want (more about them later!)

POINTS: 3/TOTAL: 194

Getting the will

As Bennet, go to Police Administration & automatically talk to Officer Berry. Note what's said about using the interrogation room. (Right-click on Berry to learn the reason for his nickname).

Go up the stairs & to the left to automatically talk to Officer Johnsen & ask about the blueprint. He tells you that it is probably high security but offers to try & retrieve it anyway. Note that he has to find & request the document using the archive computer. 

Click on the city archive & then on Scan Index Finger. No go! (+1)

Right-click on the certificate on the left wall to see that the city archive was designed by Tortoise Security which will now be marked on the map (If Anna has not yet looked at Morales’ credit).

Click & drag the image of the city archive into STM.

Click on Johnsen & through all dialogue choices to find out what he does, about the automated arm retrieval system for the archive & the types of documents it stores.

Use Get will and death cert. from LTM on Johnsen & note that he will give you a second copy if needed.

Click on the city archive & on Scan Index Finger. See on the arm cam that the retrieval arm starts from CURRENT BOX M20 & note the reference of the box it’s seeking which is random – in this case it was K06.  Receive Morales’ will (+2)

Before leaving, right-click on the copy room door to learn that it takes Johnsen hours to help Bennet use the copier!

Go back to Tortoise Security & click & drag Morales’ will onto Anna.

As Anna, click on the bell & use Morales’ will then death certificate. Tortoise gives some info about the vault including that it has 2 sets of encoded fingerprints & might be found through tracing its heat signature. He can’t tell you what it is & confesses to losing all of Dr Morales’ files due to a theft. He hands over a security cam picture (+5)

POINTS: 8/TOTAL: 202

Follow up on picture

As Anna, use the security cam picture on Bennet.  When you switch to Bennet click on The alley way door in LTM to trigger the memory - Bennet takes the security cam picture.

Bennet & Anna arrive in the alleyway (+1) As Bennet, click on The alleyway door in LTM again & take note of the sequence of knocking. Click on the middle door & click on knock twice, knock once, knock three times & stop knocking. Bennet enters leaving Anna outside.

Click through Bennet’s dialogue with the woman who mutters a few words in Japanese & gives Bennet a paper swan (+2) Bennet & Anna automatically go to the baseball field. As Bennet, click on the paper swan in inventory to get vault plans. Right-click on them to see a plan of the vault & a temperature circled.  

Get Bennet & Anna to go to Tortoise Security & use the vault plans on Tortoise. He recognises them as part of Dr Morales’ stolen file. It shows the heat signature of the vault’s internal battery but a thermal image scanner would be needed to trace it.

POINTS: 3/TOTAL: 205

Juno Labs

Remembering where there was a thermal scan facility, as Ed, go to Morales’ lab. Click on the terminal & Touch to Start, Click on Utilities & then Thermal Scan. Click on the down arrow on the left to reduce the temperature to 185%.

Click on SCAN FOR ANOMALIES on the present level. Use the down arrow on the right to scroll down & scan each level below until you get an UNIDENTIFIED HEAT SIGNATURE on level B8. You now just need the blueprints to find a way in. 

ACQUIRE BLUEPRINTS OF JUNO LABS

Find a way to crack the city archives

There are a few ways this can be done!

Either:

As Bennet, solve the ornate safe puzzles first then use the image of the city archive in STM to automatically get a *master keycard from Tortoise.

For a character other than Bennet to get the image of the city archive in STM, see how under the later section Retrieving the blueprint.

or:

As Bennet, talk to Tortoise & use the image of the city archive in STM to trigger it as a dialogue subject for all characters. Tortoise will now give the *master keycard to anyone who either solves or has solved the ornate safe puzzles & asks him How can I crack the city archives?

or:

As either Bennet (or Anna if you haven’t followed up on the picture yet), & only if he/she hasn’t solved the ornate safe puzzles first, click on Tortoise & How can I crack the city archives? Use the security cam picture to get the *master keycard (& an achievement).

On getting the *master keycard (+5) Tortoise will explain that it can be used to access the city archive & re-calibrate the arm that retrieves the documents. It will think it’s grabbing a non-restricted document but if it’s deliberately aligned incorrectly it will grab a different document regardless of its security level.    

POINTS: 5/TOTAL: 210             

ACHIEVEMENT: BLACKMAILER – Gain Tortoise’s help by resorting to blackmail

Solving the ornate safe puzzles

(Optional if Tortoise was blackmailed but lose 8 points if you don’t solve them).

Click on the ornate safe & choose one of the sides to get a close-up. See a grid with 4 squares & a button in the centre. The button can be moved around the grid by clicking & dragging on it & it is possible to unlock some of the sides by doing this randomly.

Back out of the close-up to learn that there seems to be some mechanisms inside but you can’t see them. 

As Anna, right-click on the ultra-sonograph in inventory - if it’s calibrated correctly you can use it to see through almost anything. The sonograph can be used by Anna or given to any other character by clicking & dragging it onto them.

Use the ultra-sonograph on the ornate safe (+3) & choose one of the sides. Click & drag the edge of the gadget across the puzzle to see the mechanism inside.

The object is to use the button to move the small black shape onto the white slot. If you back out, the puzzle on that side will reset.

Solve the puzzles on all 4 sides (+5)

POINTS: 8/TOTAL: 218

ACHIEVEMENT: SAFECRACKER – Crack Tortoise’s safe

INSANE ACHIEVEMENT – SAFE SEER – Open Tortoise’s safe without using any ‘vision aids’ (If you didn’t use the ultra-sonograph lose 3 points)

Retrieving the blueprint

The archive computer will need to be hacked first, so arrange for Bennet, Ray plus either Ed or Anna to go to Police Administration. Make sure that Ray has the master keycard.

As Bennet go up the stairs & opt to bring Ray to the interrogation room. Go to the left & drag the image of the copy Room onto Johnsen (+2)

As Anna or Ed, drag the image of the control Panel onto Officer Berry (+2)

While Berry’s distracted, as Ray, leave the interrogation room & go to the left (+2) Ray can also sneak to the left, without Anna/Ed’s help, if he waits for Officer Berry to answer the phone but you will lose 2 points.   

Click on the archive computer & then on the left slot underneath the screen to expose the USB port. Use the password cracker on it (+1) & then click on Enter.

Click on Recent Documents & make a note of the reference letter & number for JUNO LAB; BLUEPRINTS:*I11 & MORALES, JAVIER; WILL:*KO6 – Ray will store them in his smart phone. Some of the letters may look similar e.g. O & Q!

*The reference letter & numbers are random – they vary from game-to-game & on subsequent replays!

Click Back & Logout.

Use the master keycard on the city archive & click Retrieval Arm Manuel Alignment.

See that the arm cam is still focused on the box with the will & note the instruction: To Calibrate: Target M20 and Save. The arm was calibrated to M20 to get the will so to get the blueprint the arm needs to be re-calibrated to think its targeting the will.

To do this, using the reference letter & number of each, work out where the blue print is positioned in relation to the will i.e. how many letters up/down & numbers left/right it is.  Use the same amount of letters up/down & numbers left/right of M20 to work out the letter & number needed to re-calibrate the arm. See following examples.

Example 1

The blueprint is 5 numbers to the right of the will & 2 letters down. So the arm needs to be calibrated to 5 numbers to the right & 2 letters down from M20 to K25

Example 2

The blueprint is 8 numbers to the left of the will & 3 letters up. So the arm needs to be calibrated to 8 numbers

to the left & 3 letters up from M20 to P12

Once you’ve worked out the letter & number you need to target, use the small up/down arrows to go up/down a letter, the centre left/right arrows to scroll through the numbers & the up/down arrows to centralise the arm so that the box in the centre lights up green. Click Save.

As Bennet, click Interrupt (it doesn’t matter if Ray gets caught!) When he’s back behind his desk, ask Johnson for another copy of the will by using Get will and death cert. from LTM. Click on the city archive & on Scan Index Finger to get lab blueprints in inventory (+4)

POINTS: 11/TOTAL: 229

ACHIEVEMENT: BLUEPRINT SNATCHER – Nab the blueprints from the police archive.

ACHIEVEMENT: ARCHIVE MASTER – Get the blueprints on your first try.

DR MORALES’ VAULT

Baseball field

All 4 characters automatically meet on the baseball field. Ed looks at the blueprints to get Vault location in LTM. There is a service tunnel leading to it with an entrance nearby. 

Super collider magnets

The group automatically enter the first section of one of the tunnels below the lab’s decommissioned super-collider. The scene pans across to show the path is blocked by a metal crate, so they need to use the powerful magnets in the ceiling to clear the way.  

The magnets, when active, focus only on the section they’re above but no-one can pass under them while carrying anything metallic.

Ed has a metal plate in his shoulder & offers to hold anything in case they contain metal & receives Ray & Anna’s inventory items. Bennet won’t let him take charge of his gun!

In section 2 of the tunnel the magnet control fuse-box right of the ladder powers the switches above the platforms in sections 2 & 4 which activate magnets above sections 3 & 5 respectively.

In section 6 the walkway control fuse-box next to the door powers the switch above the platform which retracts & extends walkways between the platforms.

The object, of course, is to manipulate the magnets & walkway control to clear the path of obstacles for all members of the group to safely reach the vault. See diagram. There are a few ways in  which this can be done - this is just one example:

1    As anyone, click on Fuse Box 1 (magnet control) Click on switch.

2    As Ed/Bennet, click on the ladder in Section 2 to climb up & click on Switch 1 to raise Metal Crate 1 (+1)

3    As Anna/Ray, walk under the crate to Section 4, click on the ladder & click on Switch 2 to raise Metal Crate 2 & 

     Ramp in Section 5 (+1)

4    As Ray/Anna walk to section 5 & stand under the N’s in ‘Warning! Magnets’.

5    As Anna/Ray, click release for Switch 2 to drop Metal Crate 2 & Ramp.

6    As Ray/Anna, walk up Ramp & click Switch 3.

7    As Ray/Anna, walk down Ramp & stand in position under N’s between Crate 2 & the Ramp.

8    As Anna/Ray, click Switch 2 to raise Metal Crate 2 & Ramp.

9    As Ray/Anna, walk to Section 6 & click on Fuse Box 2 (walkway control) then click on switch to engage

     walkways under Metal Crates 1 & 2 (+1)

10  As Ed/Bennet, click release for Switch 1 to drop Crate 1 onto the walkway.

11  As Anna/Ray, click release for Switch 2 to drop Metal Crate 2 & Ramp onto the walkway.

On clearing the route get all members of the group to walk to the door.  As anyone, click on it – inventory items are automatically returned.

What do you want with the Resonance research?

What do you want with the Resonance research? (Yes! Ask him again!)

Explain the note.

Use Bennet’s letter from LTM.

You learn that it was sent from a friend 5 years ago:

“....the last two years of my life. And trust me, I know it was no picnic for you!

     I wish I could tell you this was not an easy decision, but it was. I have to get away. I just need some space. Somewhere where my life can become my own again.

     Maybe some day we can pick up where we left off all those months ago, but you’ve still got your career, your privacy. And I know that nothing matters like the job.

     I guess the lesson here is never trust a journalist. Bastards.... I know he has been poking around your precinct too. So, if the reporter is following you, get rid of him. He’s probably looking for the next pulp-gossip article. He didn’t even run a good picture of me!”

When Ray mentions another unexplained note (+5) use Morales’ note. When Bennet starts to realise something use Ed and Anna at the hospital from LTM then use the subway map from inventory (+3)

Use the small magnet on the key. The object is, by clicking & dragging the magnet, to lift the key up out of the pocket & manoeuvre it down, around to the left side of the coat & up through the narrow channel to the gap in the vent.

The trick is to attach the key to the left directional arrow of the magnet which then makes the task quite straightforward! Get forklift key (+5) 

Making sure that Bennet has the forklift key, as Ray, step onto the platform in front of the forklift.

As Bennet, use the forklift key on the forklift truck (+1) & then again to close-in on a set of controls.

POINTS: 13/TOTAL: 309

ACHIEVEMENT: KEY NABBER - Remove the contents of a locker without opening it

Trace the Cellfish number

Go back to the tech Room in Police Administration, click on the terminal screen & use the Cellfish number from LTM. The signal’s too weak so Bennet suggests calling the number to keep Ed talking long enough for Bennet to trace his location.  

As Ray, click on What do I say, to get an idea of tactics to use, & then on I’m calling him right now.

Following Bennet’s advice to hammer away then switch tactics when he’s on the defence there are a few variations to how you can keep Ed talking. The trick is to keep changing from being aggressive to interrogative & avoid unconstructive threats such as You’re on his tail (he will suss out that you’re tracing the call) or You’re going to kill him. Whatever sequence you try Bennet will always get a trace when you have the option to ask about Amul & Reno.

The following is just one example of the sequence of tactics & dialogue choices you can use:

Be aggressive

Command him to stop

Call him a murderer

Go interrogative

Ask him why he did it

Ask about Amul and Reno

Bennet has a trace on the number.

When Ray says he knows what he’s planning, use either the Antevorta file from inventory or the DNA database from LTM (+2) 

POINTS: 2/TOTAL: 311

ACHIEVEMENT: PHONE TRACER – Track the movements of a killer

Find the Resonance devices

Go to the hospital & up to floor 7. As Ray, use either the DNA database from LTM or image of the mainframe on Emma (+3) & click through the dialogue.

Click on Ray’s smart phone, SETUP, ALERTS & click SIGNAL to turn it ON.

As Ray, click on each of the maintenance doors until one gives an audible alert from his smart phone. Choose to kick it in (+1)

If you don’t turn the signal on you can check for a visual signal top left on Ray’s smart phone.

You can also choose to try & search the rooms by trial & error by kicking the doors in but you won’t get very far before you get caught by security!

Click on the Resonance device in the corner to get Live resonance. The other Resonance device must be on the top of the building (+1) As there’s is no access from within the hospital exit to the front.

Save game here if you want to play through the alternative endings!

Click on the wire gate to the left & then click on the TV to watch the breaking news reports (+2) (It must be 60 hours later!) Ray & Bennet automatically use the elevator to access the top of the building.  

When Ed appears see where he places the Resonance device.

POINTS: 7/TOTAL: 318

...............................................................................................................................................................

Ending 1: Stop Ed

As Ray, click look around to double-check the location of the Resonance device.  Notice that the grating they’re standing on has 4 panels.  

As Ray is holding the other live Resonance device the objective is to get Ed to move into a position half-way between the two before he activates them. Ed needs to be standing on the join between the 2 shades of grating & Ray needs to be in the opposite corner to the Resonance device.

You can manoeuvre Ed by Bennet taking up to 3 steps forward. Ray needs to take a step back.  

The following is just one example of the sequence of actions & dialogue choices you can use:

As Ray, Then educate me on Antevorta (+2)

            Let Bennet do the talking.

As Bennet, Step forward (Ed takes a step back).

                 What happens now?

                 Step forward (Ed take another step back).

As Ray, Step back.

                Let Bennet do the talking.

As Bennet, More murder, Ed?

                 Step forward.

                 Can’t you see the irony?

                 Let Ray say something.

As Ray, You’re delusional

See what happens & watch the breaking news of Vice President Bruckman addressing the nation.

Retreating to the baseball field, Ray has to choose whether to Publish or Delete his article. Either decision will give an alternative newspaper headline (+5)

ACHIEVEMENT: THE NEW WORLD ORDER – You stopped a killer but let the big fish go free

...............................................................................................................................................................

Ending 2: Don’t stop Ed

As for the first ending the following is just one example of the sequence of actions & dialogue choices you can use:

As Ray, Then educate me on Antevorta (+2)
