Walkthrough Chinatown (Solo)

Overview

Have you ever felt so miserable on No More Room in Hell that you just wanted to press the uninstall button cause you couldn’t stand spectating others that are way better than you? Well how do you think they became better ? There’s only one way and that is by playing it for hours and hours. But this is not really what you want to do if you got no time and how are you gonna beat those hard maps if you don’t know what to do ? Well it’s simple, let’s hang in your office chair, go make a coffee or anything you like 🙂 and start reading this walkthrough about the famous town in New York. (in Nmrih ofcourse).

Before we start

Before we start, if you’re inexperienced i would advise you to read the official manual guide:
[link]
If not then let’s proceed with the rest of the guide. There are lots of screenshots to make sure you will most likely understand onwhat to do. If something is unclear or if you need help with completing a campaign solo you can always leave a comment on this guide. No spamming invites to play with me cause i can’t honestly play with everyone.

The Underground

Recommended equipment when leaving the start point:
1 Melee [light ones such as hatchet, machete, lead pipe and crowbar, (Kitchen knife for tryhards)]
1 Flashlight
Ammo (not included is fuel, arrows and flares)
1 pistol (only use it for runners for the time being)
Bandage (on the bed at the army crate)
So start by equipping your melee weapon and left clicking your mouse to hit the wooden board, then continue going upstairs and enter the room at your right side (the side of the gas tank). Pick up the fuel can (not fuel ammo) and continue upstairs and then you should be normally here. (see next screenshot).
Place the can at the door and take it with you on your road to completing the map. Take the fuel can with you upstairs. If you don’t manage to get outside just drop the fuel can in front of the zombies and shoot it. Then retreat back downstairs and let the zombies burn since there’s a chance that the ones on fire will start running.

The Streets: GGG ! = Gate Gunshop Garage !

Now that you’re out of the Underground station you will want to head out and go straight until you go past the ambulance, and then go right over the sandbags. If you still have the fuel can, you can put the fuel can at the entrance of the garage.

There are 3 places inside where you can find the cans, there’s also a very dark room where you can sometimes find very handy stuff on the table. In the lower room there is a chance for you to find an M16A4, Shotgun or Lever-Action rifle with random ammo on the shelf. You can also find a colt with the .45ACP (wolf) ammo in this room. Now that you have the fuel, You will need to carry it back upstairs. You can either go upstairs using the dark, poorly lit staircase or the stairs on the garage with the green can. This can be a very deciding step for your survival. You cannot use your flashlight whilst you carry the fuel so you will not be able to see any zombies lurking in the dark. If you have baited any runners, then you should choose to hold back and kill these runners first. If at the entrance you are being blocked by multiple zombies, you can then drop the fuel, go back downstairs and go up the dark staircase and bait the blocking zombies down the stairs. You can then run back around again, grab the fuel and go back outside safe. This can be difficult to do without a flashlight, but not impossible. If you still have your Red fuel can from the start, you can use it at this entrance to clear it.

This is where you wanna put the green can (Not the red one, please don’t fail like other people).
First, place the can on it (It should snap into place when done) and press E where the red light is sparkling to fill up the generator and wait or proceed to the gunshop. The filling-generator effect can take +/- 30 seconds but can seem to you like an eternity since zombies are coming at you from all sides. I suggest if you’re not making a stop at the gunshop, you shouldn’t be waiting at the gate, but instead at the opposite way of the gate on the other side of the street by the alleyway. This alleyway has a small garage with weapons and is also a safer shortcut for the gunshop. That’s why I suggest you to go at the gunshop and shoot the big guns out at the “walkers” (reference to the walking dead).

The next image shows a shortcut to go faster to the fuel can point. It’s a great tactic for rushing but it’s not so good if you are being chased by 4 runners. It’s a dangerous spot and you can get cornered and crushed very easily.

The next big thing is the gunshop. It’s the place for every player where you can get your best friend in times of panic. Although this might seem like a good idea, the place is surrounded by 1 – 4 runners (including kids) and besides you can get easily cornered and crushed if you’re not careful enough. Despite the feeling of safety from being surrounded by guns and ammo, it can run out fast and you may find yourself unable to fight your way back outside. You’ll have to clear the street once in a while to make sure you don’t get cornered and get spacially limited to the fact you’re stuck in the room. Space can be your best friend.

This is what I found before and what you should have left over should be clear in the right image. Alternatively you can shoot these empty at those pesky zombies or at the walls if you’re bored.

Now you’re at this area, you wanna prepare yourself for the much harder areas. The first 2 areas were but a taste of what is to come; The next ones are the present of the possessed devil meaning that space has to be your friend or you will get cornered and killed easily.

The Streets : SSL (Street Supermarket Ladder)

You’re still here, good then I guess but make sure to take a break once in a while or watch pointless stupid videos such as Narwhals from Weeblestuff. Oh well back to the real deal.
You have three options of progress once through the gate. You can choose from the alleyway at the left side, straight ahead or to the right side. I suggest you take the first and last option since the middle one is really narrow and you will get stuck way too easily, while the other two you can easily return back safely to the beginning.
This is the right side. It’s useful when you have to make a decision when a couple runners start chasing you. Don’t panic, take a deep breath, rush to the corner and hold ’em off with your gun.
The Left side is good if you need loot from the room shown in the picture.
This is where you’ll end up when you proceed either on the left, middle or right side. You can either stay on the right and run alongside the wall of the little supermarket or you can take the left side beside the fire if that seems safer for you. It will depend on the circumstances of the zombies spawned. It is also poorly lit and difficult to spot enemies, so be sure to use your flashlight if you have one. If it’s not safe for you then hang back and retreat to get yourself at a safe position if runners are rushing towards you.
This is the place where you can find the Chainsaw, located just behind the player respawn. The Chainsaw is the most powerful weapon in the game that can easily annihilate an entire hoard of zombies in a couple seconds. Use this weapon wisely because the Chainsaw has certain limitations so don’t get cocky with it and remember to turn it off whenever you are not killing anything. It is heavy, restricting you to only light backup weapons. The ammo is also heavy and depletes rapidly. I recommend to pick this up after you get out of the little supermarket.
This is the place where you wanna go in to. Go left at the door and go up the stairs. (Be sure to check behind you as it is very common for runners to be chasing you at this point). To your right there is a dark room filled with varied loot. This room has a window which can be used to escape if you find yourself cornered. To the left, you will follow the room around some windows to a table, shelf and a corridor.

Here you can find a welder that can be used on an objective later in the map. You can take it somewhere else or you can keep it and use it as a melee. On the table there will a Shotgun or a Rifle. There’s also a fuel can at the room left of you which you can use later.
This is where your objective is found, press E on the green button and the ladder should appear. (also quite worth mentioning is that when you’re playing with other people that they will respawn in the building on the other side of the street, so it can be possible that they can take the chainsaw if you are not fast enough.) You can also shoot through the window. In this room with the button, there is another button by a metal door which will lead you to the street, but if you have lingered in this room for too long, zombies on the other side of this door can gather, making it difficult to make an exit. You should use the fuel can from before (assuming you still have it) and blow it up before you open it. Alternatively you can go all the way back if you don’t wanna take risks.
So let’s head on to the next area, go up the ladder besides the little fire and you should be safe to go.

Sewers

Might be a little bit unclear about what to do now but you will have to go up the stairs and go down again. This is a dead spot and I suggest you to run as quickly as possible over the fence and stick to the big area to defend yourself. Don’t take the most direct route around the street, because it gets narrow between the building and the cars and is a struggle point for many players. Go the long way around all the cars. At the end of this road, you will be able to see a lit interior which leads down some steps to a room with some shelves and a table, with random loot, but normally a pistol and pills. But be fast because time is your biggest enemy and zombies will be attempting to catch up with you. After you looted and what-not you should be here at a barricaded point blocked by 3 big wooden boards.
Continue down the staircase leading to the sewers. I personally think this is the hardest part however if you have the chainsaw you can easily take a shortcut since there is a wooden barricade to the left. I don’t suggest trying this with another weapon if you’re soloing it since this can be deadly as hell as it is also very dark, you can be cornered easily and you’re limited by the fact that the water can get you infected (it also can make you bleed, yeah it is weird I know). If you decide not to take this shortcut, you will be rewarded with a room containing a medkit and random loot. If you have the chainsaw, going this way casually will be a cinch.
Now don’t get yourself disrupted by this, because on the image above you, you can easily go through that path but not on the others. Staying more than 1 second in the water can give you the effect of being infected.
Don’t stay here for too long since it’s a deathtrap. Proceed further in the sewers and then from a certain point you should go left and go up the ladder.
The next point I’m showing you is a gate that you can open but please don’t do this when you’re soloing, it’s only really useful for opening a shortcut for slower players or AFK’s so that you will not have to go through the sewers. Now let’s head on to the next key area that’s probably very tricky when soloing and very easy if not. This is also the point where most people are dead in a public server (unless you’re playing on a casual server or with great players).

The Streets: Gate Weldini

You’re now in a small room in the back of a launderette filled with pills and some items, if you’re lucky you can find exactly what you need if not go to the next area. Break the barricade and proceed through the desk, take the door to your left (don’t go straight it’s a bad idea). Then proceed directly and go at the direction shown in this picture.
Take your right, there should be a wooden barricade, smash it and you should find much superior loot such as a Welder, Pills, Medkit, guns and some ammo. If you don’t have a welder at this point, be sure to take it. you’ll be needing it in a bit . Oh and please note: don’t stay too long there since you can get cornered.

After you get out safely, you will want to go back into the streets and from where you left the laundromat and proceed through the metal gate on your right (assuming you are currently at where you left the laundromat otherwise it’s on your left). You should be here now (picture below)
Take the small alley and take your left to the room (this will give you some time). Make sure all runners are dead and proceed through the rooms and take the loot and waste it on the zombies. Then you wanna go left into the dark spot (try to proceed this quickly but also slow on the same time meaning that you have to think fast but attempt it slowly).

Last thing you’ll be needing to do in this area is to equip your welder and weld the padlock on the gate (right mouse button) and then hold E on the crank (a bar and handle in the shape of an L that you pull or turn to produce movement in a machine). This gate will close automatically once you let go of the crank, so you will want to open the gate atleast half way. If zombies on the other side of the gate are being overly eager to meet you, you can shoot them or give them a whack with your melee from behind the safety of the gate before you proceed.

Extraction : Finale moment

So now you are at the other side of the gate you will want to inspect the area with a slow view and ask yourself how you should execute it. The area at most times has approximately 7 runners so don’t anticipate too quickly.

You want to jump on the car first and melee the zombies who come out or you want to kill ’em all.
Next you will want to get to the other side of the fence and take an M16A4 if you are lucky enough to find one. (Only use the bullets if cornered or chased by runners, VERY IMPORTANT) If you still have the chainsaw with fuel up to this point, this part becomes much easier. You can normally find fuel here, as well as a Medkit.
The next 2 images is a simple shown shortcut that can be easily studied by anyone. Crouch jump onto the blue barrier and next crouch jump on the firefighter truck. Alternatively you can just go around if you think this is safer or if you think that you won’t manage to pull it off. So if you’re on it then you should click on this video and start the Final countdown, if this manages to be too slow then you can always start the final countdown in nightcore version. Have fun :).
Now that you’re here you should take the left and stay at the right side on the edge of the docks (don’t fall in the water or you will get infected and die). Again, with the chainsaw, this part will be a breeze.
Don’t let your guard down yet. Choose if you wanna go this way or the other. It seems that the one at the right of the red cargo is safer in most cases cause it will open up more space for yourself.
When you first enter the warehouse, you will find pills, bandages and pistols to the far right. To the near left of the entrance you will find a small room, in here pick up the the wired plug with E and put it in the outlet next to the danger sign. In this room there is a fuel can which can be used to clear blocking hoards of zombies.
Go back to the white truck or follow the electric cables to the radio which should glow red. If you manage to get stuck you can get on the radio at the middle.
Another possibility is standing on the other side of the barbed wire, jumping and press E quickly since this is the most efficient method and will ensure you don’t get cornered like a rat. (be sure though that there are no zombies around at the distance of 3 players length)
Congrats! Now you just need to reach the end of the pier on the other side of the dock crane you are standing by. You will most likely need to kill several zombies whilst you wait here. After 45 seconds, a cutscene of a helicopter should appear which in order to complete you will have to walk towards it. ( don’t stay very close at the sides where the helicopter lands or you will get smashed).
