Realistic VersionCheckpoints

The Man from P.C.O.C.

Objective 1: We've brought Dr. Ilyssa Selwyn back to the firehouse for a precautionary examination. We should learn more about her.

Objective 2: Another day, another crisis averted but something doesn't seem quite right... The other Ghostbusters are waiting. Go to Ecto-1 when you are ready to leave.

One of Our Lions is Missing

Objective 1: Something strange is happening in the library. Carefully explore the building and discover the cause. Be careful! This isn't the Ghostbusters' first time here and the last visit wasn't exactly trouble-free.

Objective 2: Examine the Lion Statue to see what Ray and Egon are so excited about. (And let's hope it's not another 'exotic' slime or mold.)

Cruster & Crusto

Objective 1: Two free-roaming class V's? This can't be good. Follow them into the library. And don't lose them!

Objective 2: The ghost you are chasing has disappeared. Use your PKE Meter to track it down.

Dangerous Books

Objective 1: Use your Blast and Capture Streams to destroy the Book Golem. Though burning books is usually frowned upon, in this case it's probably ok. GHOST SCAN: As you are running from and shooting the Book Golem, don't forget to scan him for your database.

Objective 2: There is a strong paranormal presence in this room. Use your PKE Meter to investigate. CURSED ARTIFACT: After the Book Golem is defeated, Ray and Egon will want you to come towards the door ahead of you on the right. Before that, go to the door on the left and open it to find the Portrait of Eleanor Twitty and scan it.

There She Is!

Objective: Investigate the library for additional paranormal activity. Defeat all encountered entities.

Ssshhed Again

Objective: Investigate the library for additional paranormal activity. Defeat all encountered entities. GHOST SCAN: When the table and chairs levitate, Egon will lead you to a spot in the corner. Have the PKE Meter ready and the Librarian Ghost will appear. She won't stay there long, so either scan her for the Spirit Guide now, or remember to do so later on. She appears a lot, so there should be plenty of chances to get her scanned.

Scary Stories

Objective: Investigate the library for additional paranormal activity. Defeat all encountered entities. CURSED ARTIFACT: After entering a room with two microfilm stations, look between them and scan the Reluctant Reading Lamp.

Sorted Out

Objective: You've got both of those class V's cornered. Subdue and capture them once and for all.

Slippery

Objective: Find the Special Collections room and rejoin Egon.

Hey! Look Behind You!

Objective: Find the Special Collections room and rejoin Egon.

Story Hour

Objective: The Librarian ghost is carrying the Gozerian Codex. Follow her!

Special Collections

Objective: There must be a clue around here somewhere. Examine the area with your PKE Meter.

Old Secret Places

Objective 1: Explore the library's sub-levels for any sign of the Librarian ghost or the Gozerian Codex.

Objective 2: Wrangle the beams with your capture stream.

Dark & Damp

Objective: Explore the library's sub-levels for any sign of the Librarian ghost or the Gozerian Codex.

The Trouble with Golems

Objective: Explore the library's sub-levels for any sign of the Librarian ghost or the Gozerian Codex.

The Gozerian Codex

Objective 1: There it is! The Gozerian Codex is lying on the librarian's desk. Just walk over there and pick it up.

Objective 2: Examine the Area with Your PKE Meter

Objective 3: Apparently the Librarian really likes that book! You are going to need to trap her before you'll have a chance of escaping with it.

Objective 4: The Librarian's shield of books seems to be powered by those floating bookstands. Destroy them!

Eleanor's Plan

Objective: Explore the Twisted Stacks in order to find a way out of this ever-shifting ghost world 'pocket'.

The Other Side

Objective: Explore the Twisted Stacks in order to find a way out of this ever-shifting ghost world 'pocket'.

Across the Bridge

Objective 1: Equip your Slime Blower and use its alternate fire mode to tether the raised bridge section down. More than one tether may be required.

Objective 2: Faint, scrapes and scratches on the floor indicate that this wall section can rotate. Use your Slime Tether on the wall's edges in order to rotate it.

Hall of Mirrors

Objective: Explore the Twisted Stacks in order to find a way out of this ever-shifting ghost world 'pocket'.

Curioser & Curioser

Objective: Explore the Twisted Stacks in order to find a way out of this ever-shifting ghost world 'pocket'.

Ghostworld Library

Objective: Explore the Twisted Stacks in order to find a way out of this ever-shifting ghost world 'pocket'.

Topsy Turvy

Objective: Explore the Twisted Stacks in order to find a way out of this ever-shifting ghost world 'pocket'.

The Long Staircase

Objective: Explore the Twisted Stacks in order to find a way out of this ever-shifting ghost world 'pocket'.

Wrath of the Collector

Objective: Class VII entities can be a bit...agressive and this is no exception. Be sure to stay out of his reach or you'll really be feeling it in the morning. When the time is right, don't be shy with your Blast and Capture streams. Switch to the Slime Blower and aim at the black slime on Azetlor's face to clean it off and reveal his mask. Then use the Capture Stream to remove his mask. This is when he gets really mad. There are two strategies as to how to finish him off. One is constantly run back and forth, even using the portals that surround the room, to revive Egon and Ray when they are knocked out. Get it a shot at Azetlor when possible, but keep the others fighting so that they can revive you when your time to be knocked out comes. The other strategy is to forget about Ray and Egon all together and just go for it all yourself. Duck in and out of the portals to hide from Azetlor's attacks. Even when Ray and Egon are knocked out, they will eventually get back up after some time passes even though they have not been revived by anyone. Any shots they get in on Azetlor with this strategy is just a bonus. GHOST SCAN: Azetlor the Destroyer gets progressively more agressive as the battle rages on, and Egon and Ray will be dropping like flies, needing your help to revive them, so scan Azetlor for Tobin's Spirit Guide early.
