Introduction

I'll premise this by saying that this is an extremely difficult game. There were times that I was frustrated and wanted to look up the answer on the forums. This guide should hopefully save you from the frustration of scanning the forums for answers that might not even be there.

@Csontzuzo Yeah, I mentioned the verifying files fix about 4 comments down. I suppose I can add it to the guide. I didn't know it was a big problem.

If you only needed 4 scrolls for the Control Rods then perhaps he changed it so it doesn't reset the position every time you do an action? I think he also changed it so you don't need to climb a girder in the Secret Lab to get the lighter.

Csontzuzo 16 May, 2018 @ 11:37pm

thanks for the guide but i must say there were many points when i needed to find additional informations, happened more than twice but i rememeber for 2 excat points: in generator room the helm was bugged for me, after some search i found information that quitting game and verifying game files fix it, it might be a good idea to add this information as it looks its a common bug. Also the control rods fix was not understandable for me, i tired that 6 scrolling you mentioned but needed only a total of 4. Oh, and in the cave i needed to kill much more than 15 enemies, i think i missed only once or twice and still had only 12-15 bullets left from the 40. Oh god, that was the most annyoing part of the game.

Great Guide. Very helpful. Thank you.

A note on the lighter in the lab room - I actually found it on the first shelf on the far left. No need to climb to the top shelf.

Sweet Legerty, my Lib! 22 Sep, 2015 @ 7:09pm

Verifying took care of the issue, thank you very much! Good walkthrough.

Double Dark [author] 22 Sep, 2015 @ 8:25am

According to the top few posters the fix for this bug is to Verify your game files.

Double Dark [author] 22 Sep, 2015 @ 8:20am

@Dance Vixen So you're stuck at the end of The Generators Room. Have you tried rebooting, loading an older save file, or leaving the room before using the screwdriver? My guess is that you've hit a bug. Your best bet would be to take some screenshots and post details in the forums for help.

Sweet Legerty, my Lib! 20 Sep, 2015 @ 4:28am

I dont know if this Walkthrough is active anymore, but I can't seem to get past the generators. I absolutely cannot use the screwdriver. I getstuck in the helmet puzzle unable to interact with anything but the leave button.

ScribeWolfgang 27 May, 2015 @ 11:24pm

no the knock happens but if you take the blueprints out before hand you cant pick it back up to examine it

Double Dark [author] 27 May, 2015 @ 10:15am

@ScribeWolfgang I assume you mean the knock at the door doesn't happen? I had some issues getting it to happen on my second playthrough.
