A visual guide for unlocking the "Bright Light, Bright Light" achievement in Caustic Reality's "Infliction." As is the nature with all guides, this contains some slight spoilers. I have done my best to keep them as vague as possible.

"Bright Light, Bright Light" Achievement Guide

Hey guys! Nikki here with a few tips on how to unlock the "Bright Light, Bright Light" achievement in Caustic Reality's Infliction!

A few things to know before we get started:

You'll know you're in the 1980s if you find one of Sarah's journals that is dated 1986. If you don't find the journal, you'll also notice a few wall calendars hanging up through the house so you can familiarize yourself with the timeline. Keep close tabs on this; the achievement will not unlock in any other timeframe.

You may not have noticed, but whenever you wake up, it's 3:41am. The entity won't spawn in the house until 3:45am. This gives you 4 minutes real-time to freely explore the house without consequence.

When you wake up in 1986, move through the house and test all the light switches. Note which ones work and which do not. Do not leave them on. Turn them off before walking away. The goal will be to switch on the light and unexpectedly catch her under it to "banish" her, but you can't surprise her if she knows the light works.

I chose a location between the downstairs hallway and the kitchen. There's a doorway with a light switch on either side. The one on the right turns on the kitchen light, and the one of the left turns on the hallway light. In my mind, I liked that best because I could catch her easily from either direction.

When the game hits 3:45am, you may notice the crackling of the radio begin. I found that she spawned upstairs above me while I was waiting for her to find me downstairs. So don't be too alarmed by this crackling.

Because the enemy randomly spawns and moves through the house, you might need to give her an opportunity to find you. This means there might be a bit of waiting as you set up to trap her.

The light of your flashlight isn't enough to see everything down the hallway, so you have to use the audio clue of your heartbeat suddenly starting to race, indicating the moment she sees you, and the small visual clue of a VHS-style or camcorder glitch that indicates that she's locked onto you. You might not be able to see her racing down the hall at you, but using these small clues, you'll know when to flip the switch.

As it comes down to timing, you might need to try a few times, to catch her off-guard in the right place. The great part is, you'll wake up in a predictable area and have a whole four minutes to get ready again.

Good luck!

Hi ghost! It’s been a few years since I played and wrote these guides. But you don’t manually change the decades in the game. As you play, you will be playing these chapters of your character’s life. You will know you’re in the correct chapter for the achievement by paying attention to the dates in found on the top of the journal pages you find, or the calendar in the wall in the kitchen.

I have seen it but it did not work for me. I hid in the room with the fireplace (right from the main/entrance door and when she was in the middle of the hallway, near the kitchen, I turned on the light where the hallway begins after you come down from the stairs.

I find this near impossible to achieve. Congrats on those who managed it!

Oh, interesting because I have been possessed twice. Once I stabbed myself with a piece of glass to the eye and the second time I used the kitchen knife. It is the achievement I am wanting to unlock. I've completed the game twice and I am now at the point of Bright Light, Bright Light. Tried six times but having no luck yet, : )

Hi Oku. Evil, Dead does not have to do with the cabin. Evil, Dead is about banishing the entity from your body when she possesses you in a later sequence in the game. The only achievement in the cabin sequence of the game is "Satanic Gesture." Can you please confirm what it is you need help with? Is it with an achievement or with game progress?

Evil, dead had to do with a cabin and I see the cuckoo clock which is in the cabin here but I'm not triggering anything. Anyways thanks and I'll wait for your post.

Sure Oku. If you can give me a little while, I will write and post it up for you soon!
