Graveyard | Walkthrough The Vanishing of Ethan Carter Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
The next crime scene is in the graveyard, near the church. You can get there by going up the slope, from the meadow with the shelter, or by taking the road away from the dam, along the shore (you pass by a closed mine entrance) and by turning left, towards the hill. In both cases, your destination is the wooden church with a spire and the graveyard next to it. With the entrance to the church behind your back, turn left - you will reach an alley with five graves.
Climb down the stone steps - on the stone on the right, there is an oilcan. Use the option to inspect. After you see the oil lamp keyword, pan the camera onto towards the lower part of the church spire - the item is inside. As you follow the path, among the graves, you will run into a bucket and crow corpses. Examine that - this will result in question marks being displayed and, after you pan the camera properly, you will get a clue (as of now, black background is all you get).
Up ahead, there is an opened tomb and a wheelbarrow close to the entrance. Examine it and follow the path. Climb down the stairs and find the bloodstains on the ground. Again use the command to inspect. Enter the tomb next to the wheelbarrow. Inside, you get two options: inspect and pull. Pick the former and, after you pan the camera in the correct direction, you receive hint on where to look for the crow figurine.
The figurine is among the tombs. Collect it. Return to the tomb and use the option to fix, on the mechanism, and pull the lever. In the tomb lit wit flames, there is a corpse of a man. Approach it and collect the tool stuck in his chest. Exit and inspect blood on the tomb's side. Once you get the Symbol keyword, go to the location, where you got the question marks. The mysterious item is the tool, which you collected from the tomb and which you need to stick into the trunk. If you do not yet have the oil lamp, go to the church, enter and turn right, towards the spite. At the end of the long corridor, there is the lamp. Collect it and return to the stone, where you got the keyword "oil lamp" for the first time. Once you position the item, enter the tomb and touch the corpse.
Five beams of light will emanate from the corpse, note the spots that they reached. Again, you need to determine the order of events correctly.
1. Missy and Dale standing opposite each other.
2. Missy, Dale and Chad covering his face with hands, next to the tomb.
3. The kneeling Chad, Missy bending over him and Dale standing next to them.
4. Dale and Chad struggling, Missy standing behind them
5. Missy with the lamp and Travis.
