Easiest Way To Get The Radio (Unlock Fast Travel)
由 Nightbreed 制作
In Side Quest No. 5, The Nameless Flower, York can get a police radio from George that will give you the ability to fast travel to places you've been before. Side Quests are sometimes hard to complete because they have to be done under certain conditions, in certain chapters, and at certain times. The radio is one of the most useful pieces of equipment in the game but is also one of the most confusing side quests. Even after reading guides and walk-throughs on how to complete this side quest, I still found it hard to know exactly what to do and when. In this guide I will explain it step by step, in detail, so that the radio is easy to get.

Map of Greenvale
I'm attaching this full map of Greenvale with locations marked. Otherwise, it's very hard to find the locations I'm about to mention.

Complete Side Quest No. 4 - Lost Arnold
Chapters Available: 2-4, 6-9, 11-13
Starting NPC: George Woodman
Starting Location: Greenvale Sheriff’s Department
Reward: Trading Card #49
Unlocks: Side Quest No. 5

To unlock side quest 5 "Nameless Flower" (the one that gives you the radio), you need to complete side quest 4 "Lost Arnold". This is the one where you give George his lost dumbbell named Arnold. This is one of the easiest side quests in the game and can be completed as early as chapter 2.

While at the Sheriff’s Department, head into the kitchen to pick up the [Arnold] dumbbell by the door. Visit George in his office and return the dumbbell to complete the mission.
Complete Side Quest No. 5 - Nameless Flower
Chapters Available: 2-4, 6-9, 11-13
Starting NPC: George Woodman
Starting Location: George’s House
Reward: Radio (fast travel device)
Unlocks: N/A

This side quest is tricky because it needs to be raining and you need to visit George at his house soon after 21:00. Assuming you've completed Side Quest 4, these are the things you should do next.

Make It Rain

1. Drive to the Brian's Graveyard (see map in the first section) and sleep in 12 hour increments. The green tomatoes stashed near the bed there infinitely respawn, so you won't starve.

2. Eventually it will start raining (usually after two 12 hour sleep cycles), so as soon as it does, eat, and then save at the nearby phone.

Find a "Flower with No Name"

1. Now that its raining, start heading from the Graveyard to George's house, open your map and look for the closest flower icon (it will be a white flower). I found the closet location to be the fishing spot near Emerald River since it's on the way to George's.

2. Pick the flower so that it's added to your inventory.

Places to find this flower include:

  • Backyard of Grand Deer Yard Hotel
  • Muffler Road by a fishing spot
  • June bridge adjacent to fishing spot
  • Emerald River near fishing spot
  • On Liberty Road by Lake Cranberry
  • By the fishing spot near the Lumber Mill
  • By rightmost fishing spot behind the Forest Keeper Cabin
  • By the fishing spot behind Becky’s house

Go To George's House

1. After arriving at George's house, smoke a cigarette until just after 21:00. George will not be there before then and he won't be there if it isn't raining (his house will be "closed"). I'm not sure how long he stays there either, so don't go past 22:00.

2. Now that his house says "open", knock on the door and wait for George to answer.

3. After some dialog back and forth, George mentions his mother is very ill, that she doesn't have long, and could use something to cheer her up (this is where the flower comes in). This is where the side quest officially starts.

4. Since you already have what George requested to cheer up his mother, the "Flower with No Name", knock on his door again and you'll have the opportunity to give it to him.

5. George will give you a police radio in return as a reward (even though he can't admit it's a reward). Now you have the ability to fast travel.

6. Find a phone and save ASAP and backup your save file. That way if your game crashes or your save file is corrupted you don't have to do this all over again.
How To Use The Radio For Fast Travel
The police radio cannot be used while in cars or indoors. When you're outside, open your inventory, go to your radio, and click on the "Use" option. That will bring up a list of locations you can travel to. Only locations you've already been to will show up in the fast travel menu, so it's worth driving around and exploring early in the game.

Chapter, not episode. I just added a section that shows what chapters are in each episode because I know it's confusing. Hope that helps.

When you say "chapter", do you mean episode? When you mean chapter, then which episode?
