PANICORE Walkthrough

In this walkthrough guide you can find all the details and plans regarding your main goal in PANICORE: escaping from the maps.

PANICORE Walkthrough Guide

In PANICORE, your main goal is to escape from the map. Each map has two exits, each requiring specific items to use. The monsters you encounter differ depending on the exit you choose. You can view your money and level by opening the inventory (TAB by default). All monsters can be countered with bricks, and on the hospital map, with a fire extinguisher. Scattered across the maps are documents (which unlock achievements) and money for buying new maps and costumes.

Volga Middle School Map

As the man on the radio said, you have two ways of escaping: either by building a ladder or by repairing the car. In both cases, you will need to find a hammer to break the glass on the red box mounted on the wall, which contains the Emergency Door Key. The box with the Emergency Door Key can spawn on any wall, so it’s a good idea to start checking as soon as the game begins.

Volga Middle School Floor Plan:

Escaping with the Ladder

• Escape doors are located on the 1st floor.
• To escape using the ladder, you will need 3 planks, a saw, and a rope.
• First, go to the workshop table and use the saw to cut the 3 planks (note that this will generate a lot of noise).
• Next, use the rope to craft the ladder.
• Afterward, head to the 1st floor, unlock one of the doors with the Emergency Door Key, and use your ladder on the wall to escape.

Escaping with the Car

• The escape door is located on the ground floor, underneath one of the staircases.
• To escape with the car, you will need a tire, a tire wrench, car keys, and motor oil.
• After unlocking the exit door, you will need to prepare the car:
  1. Fill the car with motor oil.
  2. Use the tire wrench to attach the tire.
  3. Finally, use the car key to start the car and run over the monster as you make your escape.

Opening the Stuck Door

To open the stuck door, you need to cut the wires from the fuse next to the door using a cutter.

Hospital Map

First Exit

This is a large, difficult map with a very aggressive monster. There’s a room with a coded lock, and the code is found behind one of the locked doors. The first exit is via a working elevator.

Elevator Escape Steps:

1. Identify the working elevator (should be easy to spot).
2. Repair the elevator using a wrench (noisy and takes time).
3. Find the Elevator Key and an Emergency Button (there are two; the second is for the helicopter exit).
4. Return to the elevator, use the key, and escape.

Second Exit

The second exit is by helicopter.

Helicopter Escape Steps:

1. Find a screwdriver, gasoline, a metal cutter, and the Helicopter Key.
2. Activate the Emergency Button for the helicopter.
3. Climb to the roof (there are two routes) and repair the helicopter.
4. Open the helicopter, refuel it, fix the rear blades, remove the cables, and take off.

Asylum Map

First Exit

This is a large map with many floors and locked doors. There’s also a basement where you can find an item after unlocking the door with a cutter. The monster isn’t fast, but it has a long-range sight. In rooms, you can find codes to unlock rooms with coded locks.

Keycard Escape Steps:

1. Collect four keycards.
2. Find the first keycard (no special action required).
3. Repair the “Broken Card” using a special device.
4. Reprogram the “Programmable Card” using a PC.
5. Retrieve the “Safe Keycard” from the safe after finding the code (different from door codes).
6. Insert all four keycards at the exit to unlock it.

Second Exit

The second exit is through an elevator. You’ll need a lockpick, a valve, and the Old Gate Key.

Elevator Escape Steps:

1. Use the elevator to reach the 5th floor.
2. Unlock access to the 6th floor with the lockpick.
3. Open the door with the Old Gate Key.
4. Turn the valve to stop steam from the pipes.
5. Use a crowbar to open the ventilation shaft and escape.

Tips and Tricks

These methods only work in duo mode. One player distracts the monster while the other gathers the items for escape.

Hospital Map Tip:

• Set voice recognition to max (optional but safer).
• Lure the monster to another floor (up or down). It should stay there, giving you time to collect items.

Asylum Map Tip:

• Lead the monster to the attic, then run right, making sure it follows.
• Hide in a spot below, and the monster will stay with you, letting the other player gather items.
