Follow this guide to restore power to the Ink Machine in Bendy and the Ink Machine. Learn how to find key items and overcome obstacles to progress through the game.
Walkthrough
- 1Locate the Gent Building by breaking the padlock on a barred door and moving down a ramp into the city street.
- 2Open mailboxes and the crate near the classic car in the street for items. Find the "Trouble Town - Kitty Thompson" Audio Log (19/28) on the passenger seat of the car.
- 3Examine the ID scanner at a building labeled "Unsafe Area" to trigger a cutscene.
- 4Find an ID card by following Bendy, who will point to objects Audrey can open. Open these objects until Bendy leads you to a trash can containing the "Daily Headache – Eugene Lloyd" Memo (28/34).
- 5The memo indicates the ID card is in Eugene Lloyd's room at the Downside Hotel. Return to the building across from the ID scanner; a cutscene will play, and a Lost One will attack after. The Meat Shop doorway will then be open.
- 6Enter the Meat Shop and proceed to the alley. Collectibles can be found to the left. A Lost One is in the alley.
- 7Continue to another street with stores. Go straight ahead to a mailbox on the left. Further left, find the "New Job – Steve McGregor" Audio Log (20/28) on a bench in a dark corner. The Downside Hotel is on the right.
- 8To get the "It Stinks" Achievement/Trophy, find the boarded-up door across from the Downside Hotel in the back alley. Knock on it five times.
- 9Enter the Downside Hotel. Use Flow to ascend to the second and third floors via holes in the ceiling.
- 10On the third floor, use a Gent Key to open a Gent Locker and obtain the "Illusion of Living" Book (14/24).
- 11On the other side of the third floor, take the ID card from a small table near the bed to trigger a cutscene.
- 12After returning to the Old Studio, move into the area to the right and down the corridor with the "Dreams Come True" message. Flow up through a hole in the ceiling to find the "Box of Crayons" Memory (6/10) on a crate.
- 13To find the "Chapter One – Wally Franks" Audio Log (21/28), Flow up through another hole in the ceiling to the floor above, then move forward and search the desk.
- 14Find another "Illusion of Living" Book (15/24) on the shelf below a drawing board to the right of Joey Drew.
- 15Once all collectibles are gathered, sit in the chair to the left of Joey Drew to trigger a long cutscene.
- 16After returning to the hotel and grabbing the ID card, fall to the bottom floor. As Audrey exits, Wilson will make an announcement, and Lost Ones will approach. Defeat them near the hotel entrance.
- 17Return to the Alley and defeat more Lost Ones.
- 18Exit to the City from the Meat Shop, where four Lost Ones will be present. Find the "Good Tower Cafe" on the left and take the Upgrade (7/9) from the wooden counter inside.
Tips
- Hitting Bendy with your pipe will not harm him; he will simply spin his head and return to his normal grin.
- Bendy will often sit down when Audrey stops moving.
- While Bendy is with Audrey, the Ink Demon will not appear randomly.
- Smash ten clay jars throughout the city area to trigger a giant moon Easter egg.
- If you move between the City Back Alley and City areas, more Lost Ones may respawn.
- The Ink Demon does not seem to attack in the areas immediately following the hotel.
