Underworld VHS — cross-checked steps
The Underworld VHS chapter covers three objective segments matched across two independent current-release full-game transcripts (Hollow and DanQ8000):
Step 1 — Stock the New Releases shelf
After taking the tape box behind the counter, the player stocks the New Releases shelf and returns behind the counter to wait for customers. DanQ8000 frames this segment around 2:06:55–2:11:02; Hollow's chaptered playthrough places the same action around 1:34:39–1:36:35.
- DanQ8000 — tape-box and New Releases opening task (2:06:55–2:11:02): full-game transcript segment covering the counter-side stocking objective.
- Hollow — same opening task (1:34:39–1:36:35): independent chaptered story playthrough confirming the counter sequence.
Step 2 — Rewind the customer's tape at the VCR
When a customer brings a rewind objective, the player uses the VCR to rewind the tape and hands it back. DanQ8000 frames this at 2:11:02–2:11:54; Hollow's recording places the same rewind action at 1:37:07–1:37:36 and returns for a second rewind cycle around 1:42:38.
- DanQ8000 — rewind-at-VCR task (2:11:02–2:11:54): transcript segment showing the VCR interaction.
- Hollow — rewind-at-VCR task (1:37:07–1:37:36): matches the VCR rewind step.
- Hollow — second rewind cycle (1:42:38): the second VCR rewind step in the same playthrough.
Step 3 — Place the trailer into the XXX-room VCR after the visitor dialogue
After a subsequent visitor conversation, the player carries the trailer tape into the XXX room and places it into the VCR; the trailer sequence then begins. DanQ8000 frames this at 2:19:43–2:20:58; Hollow's recording places the same trailer-drop action at 1:45:00–1:45:17.
- DanQ8000 — XXX-room trailer placement (2:19:43–2:20:58): transcript segment showing the trailer placement and the trailer sequence starting.
- Hollow — XXX-room trailer placement (1:45:00–1:45:17): independent playthrough confirming the trailer-drop action.
