Left Behind - Chapter 2: Mallrats

Follow Riley upstairs and move through the hall. At the end, crawl underneath the door to enter an apartment. You can find a [WANTED POSTER] (of Marlene) on the large table near the windows. Continue into the next, wet room and climb all the way up. Move to the back of this room and inspect the firefly graffiti logo on the wall before crouching through the hole in the wall to the right. Inspecting the logo triggers an optional conversation.

Move through the laundry room and go upstairs in the adjacent room, then drop to the roofs, still following Riley; you'll now be outside. Continue over the roof, drop down, move over the plank, then make your way to the far right corner of this big roof and drop down the hole.

Head down the escalators and immediately turn right. The hall behind you is a dead end up if you inspect the big 'Affordable Getaways' poster you'll trigger another Optional Dialogue. Move down the hall via the left side and inspect the blue poster with the watergun in the middle of the hall to trigger another piece of optional dialogue. Go down the escalators afterwards. Go down the escalators afterwards and speak with Riley to trigger another optional dialogue.

You'll now be in the hall where (if you read the 'American Dreams' comics) Ellie first met Winston. Head inside the tent, inspect the cabinet and drink the booze to complete the Optional Dialogue here. After this, walk straight ahead out of the tent and inspect the saddle laying on the bench to trigger yet another optional dialogue. Move to the back of the area and help Riley lift the bar. When that fails, boost her up at the nearby double doors to your right.

Move to Riley and roar as she asks your to by tapping Triangle. In this room, also be sure to check out the purple Skeleseer stand to the left. Inspect it up to eight times for a series of funny remarks, and then Riley will also give the skull a go. There's also a green Frankenstein-like mask in one of the central shelves. Put the mask on and talk to Riley for more Optional Dialogue. After this, move to the far left corner and Riley will put on a Dracula mask. She'll also comment on the cart. In this corner, you can find an Uncharted 2 and a Jak costume package - you can't pick them up or anything, but they're references to these games from developer Naughty Dog. Be sure to also check out the Triple Phoenix mask in one of the shelves (close to the side where Skeleseer also lies) to trigger more optional dialogue. One last optional dialogue can be triggered by inspecting the pot of fake eyeballs in the far right corner. If you stick around long enough and follow Riley around, she'll make remarks about pretty much everything in the room. If you're interested, stick around, otherwise move through the doors on the left.

In this hall, Riley challenges you to a game of smashing car windows with bricks. The red car is yours and you have to smash seven windows in total (two on each side, one on the back, one on the front, and one on the roof). There are more than enough bricks laying around, and if you aim steady you can easily beat Riley. Doing so grants you the [BRICK MASTER] bronze trophy, as well as a question out of the following options:

Why did you leave?

Why did you lash out?

Did Marlene mention my mom?

Forget it.

Note: Replay this chapter afterwards to also get the answers to the other questions in the form of more Optional Dialogue.

Continue through the nearby door and follow Riley through the hall, then go downstairs. Enter the first room to your left to find a [WARNING NOTE]. After this, enter the next room and flip the switch. Follow Riley to the end of the hall to trigger a short scene.
