Metro 2033 Redux: Walkthrough - Chapter 1
This page includes walkthroughs for every mission in Chapter 1 of Metro 2033 Redux. My guide will provide you with videos for each mission along with a written guide to explain where every Diary and Moral Point you can find is. In order to get the Enlightened Ending you'll need to beat the game with 50+ Moral Points; this means being stealthy on most missions and avoiding killing humans.
My videos don't take the stealthy route through each mission since that would take much longer and the path we all use will be different while stealth. They will show you where all the Safe Keys and Safes are found and how to complete the mission. My written walkthrough on the other hand, will include everything. I provide you with multiple strategies on some missions (like the Library) and additional videos to show you where certain easter eggs are (like on the Front Line mission).
If you'd like to skip ahead to a certain chapter, follow the link below. My final note to you involves the ingame Compass. If you ever get lost take out your Compass and follow the arrow; this will help you get through the mission.

The Prologue mission begins with you climbing up a ladder; your team leader Miller is with you. At the top of the ladder you'll want to go through the door on your left to collect the Diary, it's the only one on this mission. Use the computer in this room then open the door next to Miller by interacting with the wheel.
If you'd like you can interact with the fuse box on the wall to turn on the lights. Remember what this box looks like because you'll need to use many of these during the sneaking parts of the game (assuming you want to be stealthy). Collect any goodies in the surrounding area then jump over the pit to follow Miller.
Follow Miller and his instructions to advance the plot. Eventually you will come to a large open room where you're ambushed by enemies. Defeat them and follow/listen to Miller again. This is the Prologue so your hand is held the entire time. Outside there will be a lot of drama after which you're thrown back in time 8 days.

During this Mission there are a few Moral Points available to you. Moral Points are required to get the best ending to this game, if that is something that interests you then you'll have to collect as many Moral Points as possible. This also means being stealthy on certain missions and avoiding killing as much as humanly possible.
Moral Point #1: As you follow your father you'll pass a guard that starts a conversation with "Hello Artyom"; stand in front of him and listen. When the first conversation is done and he sits down back up and approach him a second time for another conversation.
Moral Point #2: Walk up to the man and woman at the front of the line in the next room, a conversation will begin with "Doctor hasn't said anything". Once it's done you'll be given a Moral Point.
Moral Point #3: To the left of the previous guy you'll find a woman sitting on the floor. Approach her for one conversation then walk away and approach her a second time. She'll eventually say "Leave me alone" which is your queue to leave.
Moral Point #4: After the previous girl you'll follow your father into another room. There will be another guard here who starts a conversation with "Hello Artyom", listen to the conversation for a Moral Point.
Moral Point #5: Just before the room with Hunter at the end of this mission you'll find a Diary. Near this will be a cloth curtain that leads to another room. Go through the curtain and into the adjacent room to claim this point.
Make sure you grab the Diary before the final room with Hunter, once you start the event with Hunter you won't be able to go back for it. During the conversation with Hunter and your father he will toss a Postcard behind him, pick this up for another Moral Point.
After the conversation with Hunter you'll be attacked by Nosalis. If you prevent them from getting through the air vents you'll get an Achievement. Alternatively, if you'd like to conserve ammo run around this room like a mad man as everyone else fires at the enemies for you. Remember this strategy because it will work well for the entire game.
The final scene will be Hunter giving you his medallion and telling you to bring it to Polis.

When the level begins turn around and play the guitar for a Moral Point; you'll also want to pick up the Diary in this same room. Go down the hallway until you find a father and a child, the child will be drawing a picture on the ground. Play the ukulele next to them for a Moral Point.
Continue through the mission and you'll come to a large room with many people talking. As you pass through the crowd a man will stop you and ask you for a bullet, give it to him for another Moral Point. Later on in the mission you will visit the armory and pick up some equipment for your character. The next thing we need to do is a time sensitive moral point.
Inside the room with the man playing a guitar look around for a red door, if you get to this door before the guard and open it you'll get a Moral Point. Keep progressing into the level until your dad talks to you, when he says "Goodbye my boy" you'll be given another Moral Point. Before you leave the room, turn to your right to find the last Diary.
Exit the room and approach the rail car, tell the guard you're ready to leave.

This mission is short and easy, it's mostly designed to frighten you and up the tension of the game. It starts with a long scene after which you'll be attacked by some Nosalis. DO NOT SHOOT any Nosalis unless they jump onto the rail car. During this mission it's easy to mess up and die if you focus your attention elsewhere.
I find it's also 10x harder to hit them before they get to the car and your shot spread is too high to deal worth while damage. When you fall off the cart run towards the gun fire when you regain control, you'll end the mission after you arrive back in safety.
