Amnesia: The Dark Descent Walkthrough: Secret Door in the Local History Room

II. Secret Door in the Local History Room
*****************************************

Now is our first real puzzle to solve. Before anything else, the shelf in
front of you has an oil bottle, so pick it up. On the far left side of the
room is another piece of paper inside a glass case. Pick up a book or
something else, and then throw it at the glass case. It will break and
you’ll be able to pick up and read the paper.

On the other far side of the room is a shelf where if you get too close,
you’ll notice that there’s another room behind it. The way to make this
shelf move is by pulling three books fast enough.

The first book is on the shelf to the left from where you entered this
room. Don’t worry, the three books all look the same and are very easy
to spot. It’s the bright colored book that is simply screaming to be
pulled out. Pull the first book and you’ll hear the mechanism to start
moving.

The second and third books are on the shelf facing the main door on the
other side. The second book is near the secret door, while the third book
is near the glass cases. Pull them quickly and the secret door will be
revealed.

Go inside this new room and you’ll notice that there is a cabinet to the
left. Open one door of this cabinet, just leave it open. Before taking
the key, check the tables drawers. You’ll find another piece of paper
you can read.

It seems that Wilhelm and his gang have been kidnapping people and the
sheriff’s after them. The writer of the note contemplates of locking them
up because they can’t seem to stay out of the public eye and they would be
endangering his research.

After reading the note, go ahead and grab the key on the table. It’s the
key to the Wine Cellar, which we’ll need later on. Oh no! Something just
busted the door open! Fortunately it’s nothing!
