Outlast Part 12 walkthrough: Find fuses, batteries, and the 3rd Floor Key. Learn how to navigate the laundry room and fuse box puzzle.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    In the laundry room, film the machine making noise for the [_THE SOUND IN THE MACHINE_] note.
  2. 2
    Head through the nearby door. Go right into the next hallway, then right again to the burned stairs to find the [_WALRIDER AND NIGHTMARES_] document.
  3. 3
    Return to the laundry room, head left, and go straight to find a foyer with an elevator. Film inside the elevator for the [_NO SAFE PLACE_] note.
  4. 4
    Head downstairs into a dark room. Use night-vision to find the [_PROJECT PAPERCLIP EXCEPT_] document on a desk in the far right corner.
  5. 5
    Head back up to the elevator, go up the left stairs, and jump.
  6. 6
    Enter the door on the left. Follow the path and crawl through an opening to find a fuse box with the message "The laundry chute needs three fuses."
  7. 7
    To the right of the fuse box, find [_BATTERY x2_] (you may only get one).
  8. 8
    Exit through the left window (facing away from the fuse box). Close the door to the room with the "Drive in the Nails" message and push a crate over it. Pick up [_FUSE 1/3_] to the left of the central display. Wait for the banging to stop, then return to the central fuse room.
  9. 9
    Head out the front door. Keep the dead end with lockers to the right in mind as an escape option. Head down the left hallway. At a split, find a [_BATTERY_] on the floor near a corpse.
  10. 10
    Head left to find a single door. Inside is a psychopath. Go in, grab [_FUSE 2/3_] to the right of the center spectacle, and quickly exit, shutting the door.
  11. 11
    If you encounter the patrolling psycho, take the right path. Hide in a cubby by a bed if not being chased. Find [_BATTERY x2_] here.
  12. 12
    The right path leads to a room similar to the first fuse room. Block the door with a crate before grabbing [_FUSE 3/3_] from a box near a stretcher. Find a [_BATTERY_] in the fireplace.
  13. 13
    Wait for the banging to stop, then exit and return to the central fuse room.
  14. 14
    Insert the fuses into the fuse box. The key will fall down to the laundry room.
  15. 15
    Head back to the gap in the stairs, jump over it, and return to the laundry room. Avoid the patrolling psycho.
  16. 16
    Interact with the lit panel by the chute to claim the [_3RD FLOOR KEY_].
  17. 17
    Head back up the stairs, past the gap, and open the door to the left of the elevator.
  18. 18
    Jump another gap. After seeing writing on the wall, you'll get a new objective: Follow the Blood.
  19. 19
    Grab a [_BATTERY_] from a table in the light and head right.
  20. 20
    Follow the blood around the corner and shimmy out onto a ledge. Jump the gap to a new room.
  21. 21
    Past the first barrier of beds, the floor will collapse. You can avoid this by shimmying left, but it's recommended to fall.
  22. 22
    In the room below, find a stack of beds in the back-right corner to climb back up. Find a [_BATTERY_] in the opposite corner by a radio.
  23. 23
    Use the beds to climb back up.
Tips
  • Use night-vision (HUD (heads-up display — the on-screen icons showing health, ammo and the minimap)) in dark areas.
  • Be aware of violent patients patrolling hallways.
  • Use doors and crates to block pursuing enemies.
  • Collect all batteries to ensure your night-vision (HUD) lasts longer.
