Episode 2 Scene 2 | Episode 2 Alone in the Dark Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

You'll start this level inside an elevator, near the reception area. As you probably remember from the previous scene, the elevator hasn't reached its destination. Thankfully, you won't have to worry about encountering the monsters from the movie right away. Approach the elevator door and press the action key (screen). Watch a new cut-scene (a scary one for a change :-)).

Turn around and listen to what Sarah has to say about this whole situation. Approach your companion and press the action key. Carnby will help her to leave the elevator. Thankfully, you can do the same thing on your own. All you have to do is to press the jump button (screen). Once you're at the top, proceed to your left and head over to an opened hatch. You'll end up standing inside a second elevator.

Watch a short cut-scene and leave the elevator. This is going to be a much larger area and you'll be allowed to explore it before focusing on the main goals. Start off by picking up a flashlight (screen). Obviously you should choose this object from your inventory. I would recommend having a flashlight in pair with the pistol. You should have plenty of bullets, so there's nothing you should be worried about. Take your time to explore the area around the body of a killed police officer. You should also read additional hints on how to use the flashlight. Remember that you should turn it off whenever you don't need it. Thankfully, finding new batteries for the flashlight is going to be extremely easy.

I would recommend that you start exploring this location by heading to your right. Eventually you should end up standing inside a very small room. There are a lot of interesting items here (screen). Take whatever you may find useful. Ignore the staircase for the time being, because you wouldn't be allowed to get past the flames. There's also a broomstick here, but you won't have to pick it up.

Go back to the reception area. It's fairly dark in here, so you should consider using the flashlight all the time. Try moving towards a new area and you're going to be attacked by a small group of creatures. Eliminating these bugs is going to be easy. I would recommend using a pistol to kill them (screen), however you could also pick up a new weapon or choose a bug spray from your inventory. Either way, you will have to get rid of all of these creatures. Notice a small door to your left. Listen to what Sarah has to say - you'll have to find a good weapon to destroy this door.

Now you should check the area to your right. Get behind the counter and you will come across a single door. Enter this small area and proceed towards the fuse box (screen). Press the action key to trigger a simple mini-game. Your objective will be to bring two cables closer to each other, however they can't touch. I would recommend that you practice finishing this mini-game, because you'll encounter more fuse boxes later on during the course of the game.

If you've done everything correctly, you'll bring back power to this part of the building. You'll also trigger a new cut-scene during which you'll notice your next opponent. A monster has appeared in the reception area, so you'll have to act swiftly. Exit this room and go to your right. Find a new chair and light it on fire. Once this is done, use the chair to dispose of the creature (screen).

Once you've killed this monster, start searching for a fire extinguisher. Go back to the previous area, where you found a broomstick. Head up the stairs and use the fire extinguisher to get rid of the flames. You'll find a bug spray here. Go back to the room with the fuse box and inspect a nearby locker (screen) while you're at it.

Head back to the main area of the building. You should be able to find an axe here and obviously you will have to pick up this object. Go to Sarah. You'll find hear next to the closed door. Use the axe to open this passageway (screen). Once this is done, try using the stairs. You will trigger a new cut-scene. This is going to be a very similar battle. Find a new chair quickly, light it on fire and kill the monster before you sustain any major injuries. You should also know that this monster may temporarily blind you. If this occurs, press and hold the X key to clear your sight. Proceed to the stairs once again. This time you won't encounter anyone else.
