Amnesia: The Dark Descent Walkthrough: The Wine Cellar

Get out of the main laboratory and then up the stairs, then go through
the door to the Entrance Hall. Once you are back in the Entrance Hall,
simply move forward then down the stairs and you’ll reach the door to
the Wine Cellar.

The Wine Cellar’s door is locked, but don’t worry, we already have the
key! Press TAB and find the Wine Cellar Key in your inventory. Double
click on it and you’ll notice that it has become your cursor! Click on
the Wine Cellar door and it will be unlocked!
Move forward and go down the stairs. Another weird sound! Nothing to worry
about. As you reach the bottom of the stairs, you’ll hear a bunch of
Wilhelm’s men being happy because of the wine despite being locked in.

Look at the wall to the right, there’s a map of the place. While looking
at the map, turn right and let’s enter that room.

Inside this room in the corner is an oil barrel. Use it to fill up your
lantern if you need to. On the shelf nearby is a tinderbox. On the
other end of the room is a table in the corner with another tinderbox.

There’s also a fallen table and near it is one of our chemicals. Get the
bottle of chemical and another earthquake occurs. A barrel falls and
Daniel gets knocked out for a while. After waking up, you’ll see that the
door is now blocked by rocks and wood. Move the rocks and the wood away
and get out of the room.

If you’re interested to know what chemical we just picked up, press TAB
and we’ll find out that it’s called Calamine.

Anyway once you’re out of the room, turn left and we’ll enter that room.
Upon entering, the door to your left will start banging! Nothing to fear!
Open the door and enter the room.

You’ll be greeted by pieces of strange meat on the floor. Touching them
only makes a squishy sound. Continue on and explore the room. Another
flashback occurs where Wilhelm and gang start dying horrible deaths.

Open the chest in the middle of the room for a tinderbox. To the left is
another room. Inside, you’ll find a cabinet and a table with another
chemical and a note. Read the note.

It’s Wilhelm’s final words! He finally exposes that he’s become a
kidnapper for hire, and in return, Alexander would say good things about
him that will help him get a better place in society. Unfortunately, they
all got locked up in the Wine Cellar by Alexander. Somehow, they’re all
dying in weird ways, but he has accepted this as a form of punishment
for all the bad things that he has done.

After reading his touching letter, grab the chemical, which is Aqua Regia.
Get out of the room and you’ll be back to where the stairs are. Move to
the map on the wall. We’ll enter the door next to it.

Inside is a very simple room. There is a table and a chemical bottle sits
on top of it. Grab the chemical. It is called Cuprite. You’ll hear another
weird sound, but it’s nothing to worry about.

Get out of the room and turn right. Move along the wall and you’ll reach
another door. Try opening it. Another weird sound is heard and the door
won’t open. Just continue moving along the wall to the next door.

Enter the room. Turn left and move forward. On the shelf in the corner
is a bottle of Laundanum. Laundanum is a potion that restores your health
a little bit whenever you are damaged.

Oh no!!! After picking up the Laundanum, a monster somehow shows up! Near
the door we came from! DO NOT LOOK BACK! The more you look at it, the more
it will notice you! Turn off your lantern as well because it will attract
its attention! Just look at the wall while you’re crouching in the corner
and listen for his sounds. Hopefully he’ll leave you alone soon.

You can check if he’s still around by quickly looking behind you, then
leaning to the right to see if he’s still standing around. If he is, just
continue looking at the wall. Check back every 10 seconds or so and
eventually he’ll disappear.

Once he is gone, it’s time to move forward. You might want to light
one of the torches near the door to make your vision less hazy. Anyway,
move on forward to the other part of the room.

Whoa! Some stuff starts falling through the hole on the ceiling. Continue
on. To the right from where the stuff fell is a torch. In front of the
torch is a shelf with a tinderbox on top. To reach the tinderbox, move
some crates in front of the shelf to create stairs you can jump on. There’s
also another tinderbox on the other shelf near to the torch which can be
easily grabbed.

Move into the next room which has a lot of wine bottles. The shelf directly
in front of you has a tinderbox at the bottom. Move forward and the
area with wine bottles to the left has another shelf with a tinderbox
near the corner. Continue on to the last corner of the room and you’ll find
another tinderbox and the last chemical called Orpiment on the shelf.

Go back from where you came from and there’s a door to your left. Open
the door and you’ll see the stairs in front of you. Make your way up
and get out of the Wine Cellar!

After exiting the Wine Cellar, the area becomes full of the red organic
stuff! Run straight and enter the Laboratory quickly!
