Enemies

Bubble Head Nurse

Weak to Head and knees

Armed with steel pipes or knives; staggering them with headshots allows for quick melee follow-ups.

Lying Figure

Weak to Legs

Often spits acidic bile from range; dodge sideways when their torso convulses to signal an attack.

Mannequin

Camouflages against walls and furniture in dark hospital rooms; keep the flashlight off to reduce early detection.

Tips

Breakable glass windows line several medical offices on the first and second floors; smashing them allows entry to rooms with barred or jammed doors.
Pay close attention to blood-written notes and scattered patient records, as Brookhaven's puzzle codes (including keypad entries) are randomized between play styles and puzzle difficulties.
Maria remains in Room C2 during this section; checking in on her occasionally triggers unique dialogue scenes that contribute to story nuances.

Not listed for this area: secrets, shops and people.
