Amnesia: The Dark Descent Walkthrough: Entrance Hall

Hall.
————- Entrance Hall ————-
Move up the stairs and continue forward and to the center where a circle is on the ground. A flashback occurs. You’ll also see some red liquid trail to the right of the circle, going down stairs. Follow it as the flashback plays and open the door.
We learn that this is the path to the Refinery through the flashback. At present, there’s a weird red organic matter that’s blocking the way. Get near it and something will be written in the journal. Open your journal and read the Memento for your next objective.
You’ll need something to dissolve the red organic thing, so let’s get back to exploring. Exit the room, go up the stairs and turn right. Move forward and you’ll find another flight of stairs. Go up the stairs. As you go up, you’ll hear a girl panic. Don’t mind it for now, it’s probably just your mind playing tricks on you.
Upon reaching the top of the stairs, turn right and move forward. You’ll find a red door to the Archives. Before we enter, if you’ll notice, there’s another flight of stairs going down to the right, just before the door to the Archives. Go down and on the stairs, you’ll find a tinderbox. Go back up and this time, we can now enter the Archives.
