To get the Crank Handle, you’ll first need tofind the three medallionsand make it to the garage, fighting the first boss along the way. Once you reach the parking garage, interact with the kiosk by the gate to play a short cutscene where you’ll meet a mysterious woman who will then walk off. Follow her into the jail and walk to thesouthwestern corner of the jail.
After finding the reporter who is locked up and quickly killed by something powerful, you’ll get control of Leon again and can approach thetable along the right side of the room with the Crank Handle being found on it. This isn’t something you can leave and come back for as it is needed to get out of the parking garage as Leon, so if needed make room in your inventory as you don’t have any other option.
