How To Clear Out The Financial District¶
Once you’ve made it out of the Hotel you’ll have to deal with another group of enemies that are roaming around outside, so stay in cover whilst using the small walls and vehicles and make your way into the Rivers Cafe. Make your way up the stairs and go out onto the EXIT balcony and take out the sniper. After you’ve dealt with him, use the vantage point to take out the enemies below with a Bow or the Rifle.
(1 of 2) Use the vantage point to take out the enemies
Use the vantage point to take out the enemies (left), but watch out for enemies sneaking up on your left. (right)
Make sure you take a look in the room to your left to see if any enemies are attempting to sneak up on you, then continue focusing on the area below. Once all the enemies have been dealt with you’ll have a short scene, then you can safely explore the whole area without the fear of being shot at. You can find Alcohol x1, Blades x1 and Sugar x1 on the first floor of the Rivers Cafe.
Enter the Don Fiocchi Storage Room to find the Fireflies Note, then go up to the River Cafes second floor and walk along the balcony to reach an office where you can find Explosive x1, Rag x1 and Arrow x1. Drop back down and go over to the building on the opposite side to find Parts x3, then search the table in the back left corner of the street for an additional Parts x25. After you’ve collecting resources, open the garage door, then search the left side to find a Rag x1.
(1 of 3) Grab the Fireflies Note from the Don Fiocchi Storage Room
Pull the cart which is holding the garage door open and place it against the broken window, so you and Ellie can climb through, then grab the grab the Supplements x5 and use the Workbench to upgrade your weapons. Jump over the table to trigger a cutscene, then head upstairs. Here you’ll want to hide behind the wall and wait for one of the enemies to walk past before strangling them, then enter the office and melee down the final guard.
Collect the Final Attack Note from the office floor, then leave the building and drop down on to the street. Follow the path ahead and enter the Book Store, then pickup the Blade x1, Alcohol x1 and a Rag x1 from the desk. Exit the store and hide behind the concrete block. then sneak into the building that has the guards roaming the second floor. Head upstairs and you’ll need to take out three enemies.
(1 of 4) Wait for the guard to walk past and strangle him
Wait for one of the guards to overlook the street, then strangle the guy closest to the stairs, then go back into hiding. Make sure the guy on the left is looking in the other direction and take out the guard standing near the edge. Finally, take out the guy on the left. Before leaving, take the Mob Attack Note from behind the desk, then go back to the Book Store.
Walk past the tripwire and hide behind the concrete wall near the tank, then wait for the guard in the distance to look away and the guard closest to you to walk over to the right side of the tank. Wait for him to return to the left side and strangle him, then there’s three more guards you’ll need to deal with. Keep your distance and use your Bow and aim for headshots to take them out.
Where To Find The Financial District Optional Conversation¶
Once the area has been cleared out go over to the ‘Death for Freedom’ graffiti and speak with Ellie to engage in an optional conversation. Collect Parts x5 from the corpse, then enter the building the to find Shotgun Shells x2, Binding x1, Rag x1 and the Truck Note. Unlock the locked door with a Shiv to find some Supplements x10, Sugar x1, Explosive x1, Blades x1, Rag x1, Handgun x4 and Parts x50.
(1 of 2) Speak with Ellie near the Dawn of the Wolf poster for an optional conversation
Speak with Ellie near the Dawn of the Wolf poster for an optional conversation (left), then use the cars to sneak past the tanks to reach the Refund Quick Store. (right)
Boost Ellie up to the ladder and drop down into the next area, then approach the Dawn of the Wolf Poster and speak with Ellie for another optional conversation. Pickup some Alcohol x1 and a Rag x1 from the bin, then head down the alley and use the broken down vehicles to reach the Refund Quick Store. Explore the office for Blade x1 and Rag x1, then exit the store and head down the alley on the left. Defeat the two guards roaming this area, then enter the building and go upstairs.

Finally, look in the bathroom for Supplements x5 and Blades x1, then go through another window and shimmy across to a different room to end the Financial District portion of Pittsburgh to a close.
