You will have to repeat this process by entering back in game playing a small its portion (entering the new area, changing or firing weapons, etc...) and coming back to this menu until the number of bytes left will be almost unchangeable (it will around 2-3 million). So now we have eliminated all those useless bytes can prevent us to find the only needed one. Go ingame and use this green herb to help Claire to recover her health and then jump back into Patch Finder. We have increased our health condition byte so we will change the option from '''Equal''' to '''Not Equal''' and hit '''Search''' again. Note that we cannot use '''Greater''' here because strangely enough patch finder still will treat whose unsigned bytes as singed ones when comparing. We must have only 3-5 values left here (out of initial 13 million!). Looking at them you'll notice that byte at <code>004326fc</code> now have a value of 150 (decimal) (or in some cases the finder will show -106 which is still 150 because our byte must not have a sign this is a fault of patch finder to proper understand our instructions). So the byte at '''004326fc''' has been increased from say 100 to 150. This makes sense as a health with maximum value of 150. Lets assume we have found the needed byte. Select it in the result pane and press '''Add''' key. The '''Add cheat''' small dialog will pop up. Set the new value field to 150 and press OK.

So now we have eliminated all those useless bytes can prevent us from finding the only needed one. Go ingame and use your green herb to help Claire to recover her health and then jump back into Patch Finder. We have improved our health condition so we will change the option from '''Equal''' to '''Not Equal''' and hit '''Search''' again.

Lets enable now our new found cheat to see if it will work. Leave the patch finder dialog and start '''Patch Browser...''' from the same '''Misc''' menu instead. You will see the only line in the tables which must be our patch (see the picture '''Patch Browser dialog''').
