Amnesia: The Dark Descent Walkthrough: The Cell


As we regain consciousness, Alexander speaks to us telepathically again.
He tells us that he was worried that we almost got him. He also tells us
that Daniel and him are alike. They just both want to survive from the
shadow, and they can do whatever it takes to make sure of this.

*************************************************************************
Cell Escape Solution 1:

Quickly look at the corner to your right. There's an oil bottle, grab it.
Check the bars on the right side. There's a broken bar. Grab it and move
your mouse to break it. The iron bar falls near you. Grab it and the Iron
Bar will be in your inventory.

Look to the wall to your right. There's a bare wooden bed. Pull it and
put it in front of the hole you just made through the bars. Now jump
towards the hole and crouch while you're still in the air. This will allow
you to fit through the hole, congratulations! For some odd reason, the
wall breaks down in your room! Just when you could've used a bigger hole!
Oh well.

Cell Escape Solution 2:
(Credit to Shay)

As you regain consciousness, look at the iron bars in front of you. One
of them will be broken. Grab it and move your mouse around to make it
fall. Take the Iron Bar.

Turn left and move to the left corner of the wall. Look at the middle area
of the wall until your cursor becomes a hand. If you click it, it will say
this area of the wall is loose but it can't be removed by hand. Open
your inventory and use the Iron Bar on that loose area of the wall.

The Iron Bar will be stuck to the wall. Grab it and move the mouse to the
right. The loose area will break and the Iron Bar will be back on the
ground, as well as some bricks. Take your Iron Bar.

Look through the hole in the wall that you just made. There's a piece of
wood that you can grab. Grab it and move forward to push it. A bigger
part of the wall will collapse. Push the bricks that are blocking your
way and you're now in the next cell! Exit!

Main Escape Solution 1:

Now that you're outside of your cell, turn left and move forward. There's
a cell to your left but it doesn't have anything so don't bother. Continue
moving while hugging the left side and you'll find another cell. Enter it.

There's a bottle of oil behind the overturned bed. Pull the bed and grab
the bottle of oil. There's also a note on the floor, read it. The note
was written by a prisoner who has lost hope. He also talks about a guard
who dropped a key in one of the pipes nearby.

Exit the room and continue moving along the left side. There's a broken
cell. Enter it and everything will turn black. Don't worry about this.
When the lights come back on, there's a dead naked guy on the bed near
you. Continue inside, there's one tinderbox on the right corner, and
another one near the rocks on the left.

Get out of that cell and continue moving. Enter the last cell on our left.
There's a tinderbox behind the fallen chair. There's also a Laudanum under
the bare wooden bed. Grab the Wooden Bucket and exit the room.

Go to the well in the middle of the area. Turn the crank to raise the rope.
Choose your Wooden Bucket from the inventory and use it on the rope. Turn
the crank again to lower the bucket. After reaching the bottom, turn the
crank again to raise the bucket. Now grab your Bucket of Water.

While facing the crank, turn right. Near the torch is a broken pipe. Use
the Bucket of Water on the pipe and the key will be washed down. Grab the
Rusty Key.
**************************************************************************

**************************************************************************
Main Escape Solution 2:

There is another way to get out of this place after you get out of your
cell without having to use the bucket of water. Remember the Iron Bar that
you got when you broke your cell?

Just like before, go ahead and visit all the other cells and grab the
supplies and read the notes. Now, instead of using the bucket to get
water, just go to the broken pipes in the corner of the room where there
is a small table. Open your inventory and use your Iron Bar on the broken
pipe. It will be able to push the key out of the pipe. Grab the Rusty Key.
***************************************************************************

Go to the door and use the Rusty Key on it. Open the door, and as soon
as you open it, START RUNNING DON'T LOOK BACK! Open the door and shut it
behind you. Keep running and another door will be blocked by debris!
Don't panic. Just pull the rocks away and the wood. Open the door and
shut it. That simple.

Continue running and shutting doors behind you. When you get to the part
where you have to choose between running left or right, choose to run to
the left!

***WARNING*****************************************************************
This might be a random event. On my first playthrough, I remember that when
I had to choose between left or right, I chose to run left. The left path
was blocked and the path with the lit torch was open. This could be one of
those random situations.
***************************************************************************

Keep running and you'll reach an area with water. Don't panic because there
is almost no way that you'll fail now. The only hard part of this escape
were those rocks and the wood that you had to move to get through the door.
Aside from that, everything is just a straight run.

Run up the stairs and open the door. You'll be back in the Nave.
