Frictional Games Forum

Throughout the game I've found some quite useless items, which I do not know the purpose of really.

1. A padlock. I think I got it from under the workshop, has anyone found a use for it?
2. The broom. Is it just a crap weapon, or is it actually usable somewhere?
3. The four remaining chemicals, anything up with those?

Also, some notes are useless aswell, but the one about Greenland's folklore seemed oddly misplaced. I read through it several times, but I can't relate any moment in the game where I'd have used the info.

Well, has anyone found a use for them?

The padlock is from the beginning of the game, maybe there will be a use for in the second game.
The broom is used for getting things off of shelves above your head.
The four remaining chemicals where used to confused you.

The random Greenland folklore is there to make the place seem more natural.
