Chapter 5-1: Underground Garden

Begin by heading up the stairs in the middle of the area and circling to the stairs that leads to the opening. Move straight through this opening and to the door to the next area. Open the door to the left to find some Handgun Ammo, and other things. Pick up whatever is inside, and leave to continue down the central hallway.

You should notice a brief cut scene. Forget about it for now. You'll find a Red Herb at the end of the hallway. Turn into the nearby door when you're ready. More of the flowers, HM. If you'd like, you can slash the tubes the flowers in to break them. Either way, circle to the right where you'll find the door to leave.

Just sprint down this hallway for a bit and check out the wooden crate you come across. Bust it open for some Handgun Ammo. Continue down the hallway to the door that requires you to turn the wheel. Go inside and pull the lever directly ahead. After the brief sequence, go to the glass and slash it open with your knife. Go into the hallway and turn left to find the next passage. Keep going in this direction and turn left again to activate a sequence.

Here is the Licker Beta. These guys are TOUGH man. They can eat some serious damage before going down. Your best chance is to use the Shotgun (I hope you've been upgrading). Blast it a few times and pick up the Lion Heart. Then, continue down the hallway to the door. Turn it open and procure the wooden crate inside. Next, head through the hallway. Before going up the stairs, look for the room with a shiny briefcase. Inside is the AK-74 and also a safe with Gold Bars.

Head up the stairs and check out the wooden crate at the top for a Machine Gun Ammo. Pull the lever to the right of that and open the door at the end of the hallway. Sheva comments that they probably don't hear you. Your instincts probably tell you to proceed slowly. Let me tell you right now that your instincts are sorely mistaken. Sprint STRAIGHT ahead down the next few hallways. Do not stop. Keep going until you find the elevator to Investigate. You'll see that the elevator is stalling. Don't worry. Turn around and have some Grenades ready if you have them. Once the Lickers start pouring in, start with Grenades (but be absolutely sure that you have a few for the upcoming boss battle) and follow them with Sniper Rifle fire. It won't take long until the elevator gets here. Turn around and spam the Partner Action button to conclude this phase.

Go towards those little shelves to find various Ammo in there. Then, turn right to activate a scene, and at the conclusion of that is another boss battle.
