Tips
- Each floodgate part pays 10 Zombie goo and 16 Town Gratitude; Part II also gives 150 red technology points per zombie that fought.
- Break Through to the Bathhouse Basement is the longest fight in the game. It pays 3 Keys for Looters, 1 Victory Banner, 1 Defender's Emblem, 4 Zombie goo and 200 red technology points per zombie, but no Town Gratitude.
- Save before the Bathhouse battle and check that the Emblem and the Banner reach your inventory: the Emblem opens a fourth squad slot, which counts for the Final Battle since it accepts up to 4 squads.
