Amnesia: The Dark Descent Walkthrough: Back Hall

Congratulations! You just got through one of the most nerve wracking gameplay moments in history ever! You are now in the Back Hall, safe from the horrible water monster!

The Back Hall is a beautiful place that actually looks like a part of a castle. An interesting fountain adorns the center of this place, featuring a creature with a human baby’s head spitting out water, having the body of what seems like a centipede. Feminine legs are also part of the fountain but it is missing its other half.

As you make your way up the stairs and to the center of the area, the door to your left blows open. Don’t worry about it yet. It just leads to the Machine Room and the Elevator. The problem is, the Elevator is not working and the Machine Room is inaccessible. We’ll need a few parts to make the Elevator work.

The area has four doors. While still facing the fountain, to our left is the Elevator area. To the right is a door that leads down to the Storage. Behind us is another level of the area, reachable by stairs. We have the Guest Room and the Study.

Now from the fountain, look behind us. There’s an area with chairs near the stairs. Go there and you’ll find a chest. Open it to get a bottle of oil and two tinderboxes.

The first room that we’ll visit is the Guest Room. Use the stairs on the left to get up to the next level. The first door on our left is the Guest Room.
