Amnesia: The Dark Descent Walkthrough: Orb Chamber

The Orb Chamber is a medium sized circular room. Around it are three pylons that channel magic, while in the center is a portal. At the far end of the Chamber is the old and naked Alexander, floating in the air as he is protected by blue magical flames.

Now is the time for you to decide which endings you’d like to see. There are three endings, just follow the specific steps below to see the ending that you like.

Getting The Normal Ending:

As soon as you enter this room, grab the pylon in front of you that is channeling magic. Move around to find the direction where you can push it. If you are facing front, just grab this pylon and move left. It will be pushed to the left and fall over. You’ll suddenly move slower, but this is ok.

Next, go to the pylon on the left. For the sake of reference, use the same view from where you pushed the first pylon over. In this case, if you’re facing the pylon on the left, it should be shooting out magic going to the right. Grab it and push it forward to make it fall.

Go to the last remaining pylon to the right. Face it. It should be shooting magic to the left. Grab it and push it to the front.

Watch as poor Alexander’s plans are crushed and he gets annihilated!

Congratulations, you have just finished one of the most horrifying games in gaming history!

Getting The Bad Ending:

Now that you’re inside the Orb Chamber, simply do nothing. That’s it. Let Alexander do his thing. After a few minutes, he will succeed in going through the portal, leaving you to die.

Congratulations, although this ending sucks, you have just finished one of the most horrifying games in gaming history!

Getting The Good Ending:

Go to the middle of the room where the pylons are channeling their magic to the center. This is the spot where the portal is going to open up. We need to wait for the portal to be fully open. You’ll know that it is fully open when it becomes big and blue. At this point, open your inventory and use Agrippa’s head on it.

Watch as Alexander’s plans are foiled and he gets annihilated!

Congratulations, you have just finished one of the most horrifying games in gaming history with the best possible ending!
