Guide to unjamming the bridge in Amnesia: The Dark Descent, finding items in the Morgue, and obtaining the vaccine.

As soon as you exit the Control room, look to your right and pull the lever. The other bridge on the right side will start to lower but gets stuck midway. Something is jamming it.

Jammed Bridge Solution 1: Go to the end of the platform and climb down the stairs. Find a rock on the ground and throw it up to the higher platform. Climb the ladder, find the rock, grab it, and aim for the circular thing where the chains are attached to the bridge. This should unjam it.

Jammed Bridge Solution 2 (Not Recommended): Pull the lever of the working bridge up, then run to the still lowered bridge on the left. You'll have a few seconds to make it there. As you get on the bridge, it will start going up. Wait for it to stop, then run and jump onto the jammed bridge. Your weight will cause it to unjam, but you will get hurt.

Now that the bridge is unjammed, cross it and go through the door into the Morgue.

Morgue and The Vaccine

As soon as you enter the Morgue area, you'll have a flashback about Alexander and Daniel heading to the Morgue.

Move forward into an open room full of skeletons. A flashback occurs of someone panicking. There's a shelf on the left with important items. Move forward and go around the fallen shelf. Another flashback occurs of someone trapped.

After the flashback, go under the fallen shelf and hop on top to find a tinderbox. Go to the standing shelf to get Laudanum and the Copper Tube.

Exit the room and move forward. Choose to go left. You'll see a dead body on a table. A flashback occurs about Alexander wondering if Daniel has changed his mind.

Touch the dead body; it's still warm but stiff from rigor mortis. Check the shelf in the corner for a tinderbox and a note about a plague and a vaccine. Read the note on the table with the candle, which states the vaccine was a success. Check the table drawers for a tinderbox, Laudanum, and a memory canister. Touch the memory canister; it's Alexander's, discussing seeing evil in Daniel and Daniel being tainted by the shadow.

Open the door to the right of the memory canister. This room is full of dead people in low water and is a good hiding spot for later. Exit this room.

To your right is the last unopened door. Enter this room, which is the actual morgue where bodies are kept or incinerated. It's a horrible hiding place due to the bright light. Exit and go back to the table with the dead body to get the vaccine.

Getting The Vaccine: Stand in front of the dead body. Use the Hand Drill from your inventory on the dead guy to drill a hole in his head. Use the Copper Tube from your inventory on him to stick it into the hole. Finally, use the Hollow Needle from your inventory on him. Touch him to inject yourself with his blood.

Congratulations, you have been vaccinated! An incoming monster is imminent.
