Episode 8 Scene 2 part 1 | Episode 8 Alone in the Dark Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
This is going to be one of the most difficult levels of the game. You'll have to solve a large number of challenging puzzles. Avoiding traps is going to be equally important. Make sure that you're following my instructions, so you won't have any problems advancing to the next level. Switch to TPP view and start moving forward. It's very important that you stay away from the ledge. Once you've reached an elevator, use a lense and a flashlight to mark a new sign (screen). Wait for the platform to transport you to a new location.
Head on to the first room of the complex. Approach the beam of light and notice that blocking it opens a nearby door. You can solve this problem easily. Pick up a small object found in this room. Place the object near the beam of light and proceed towards the exit.
Ignore the fact that you won't be allowed to use your flashlight inside the cave. Proceed towards a new rope and use it to get to a lower level (screen). Jump down to a new platform carefully and proceed towards the second room. This time you'll have to deal with a slightly more challenging puzzle.
Just as before, your task will be to interact with a beam of light. Sadly, this time it's going to be more difficult to figure out what has to be done. Approach a small stone and press the action key. Start pulling the stone and place it in the top right corner of the screen.
Release the stone quickly and start running towards the left platform (screen). Make sure that you're standing on this platform and see what happens next. One of the smaller platforms will move the stone and by restoring everything to normal, you'll be automatically transported to a higher level. Proceed towards a nearby exit.
This time you're going to have to spend more time trying to get to a lower level of the structure. Start off by jumping towards a nearby rope. Head down and start swinging on the rope. Your objective here will be to reach a small platform (screen). You can get to a new rope from here. Slide down and make a second jump. This time you must be aiming for a nearby third rope. Use this rope to slide all the way down. Head on to a new room.
You should find yourself standing inside a much larger room. Start off by taking a small object (screen) which can be found in the center of the room. This will initiate a short cut-scene. Ignore the flames and focus your attention on the spikes.
You can solve this puzzle in only one way. You will have to use your newly acquired object to interact with some of the nearby beams of light. Start by blocking the beam on your right (screen), then focus on the left one and finally cut through the right beam. Obviously you will have to keep moving forward at the same time. Avoiding the spikes is equally important here, however it shouldn't be a problem. Drop this object once you've reached the exit.
Keep going straight until you've reached a new area. Order your character to stand on a glowing platform and pick up a new object (screen). This will trigger a new mechanism. Get ready to deal with new traps!
You will have to deal with moving objects and obviously your top priority is to avoid them at all costs. Thankfully, you can stop the platform by blocking the beam of light (screen). Each time you must wait for a huge hammer to pass by before releasing the platform. Be careful near the end - you will have to deal with two hammers there and you'll have to stop between them to ensure your safety. Eventually you'll get to a new passageway.
