Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Head inside the castle and up the stairs. You can view the portrait. Turn left.
  2. 2
    Read the Guest Book (File) and smash the Urn for some ammo.
  3. 3
    In the glass cabinet on the other side, equip your knife and attack it to break it open and get Gunpowder.
  4. 4
    Head through the open doorway on the right. Grab the Lei on the right and notice the elevator switch.
  5. 5
    Head through the door on the opposite side. The door on the right is locked. Descend the stairs.
  6. 6
    At the bottom, smash the Urn and the glass cabinet on the right, then head through the door.
  7. 7
    Enter the open room with stairs leading to the upper floor. Check the door on the left, opposite the stairs, to trigger a cutscene (a non-interactive cinematic the game plays automatically).
  8. 8
    After regaining control, smash some furniture if desired. Find the Crimson Glass on the table in front of the chair to the right of the doors. Grab it and head through the doors.
  9. 9
    In the next room, pick up the Shotgun Ammo from the drawer on the left.
  10. 10
    The door in here is locked from the other side. View the painting if you wish.
  11. 11
    Crouch in front of the grates and open them to reveal a crawlspace. Crawl through the linear path.
  12. 12
    Upon exiting the crawlspace, stand up and immediately look left for some Rusted Scrap.
  13. 13
    Move down the hallway until you reach a statue holding a Maroon Eye Ring. Examine it in the menu to obtain the Maroon Eye. The statue will rotate, allowing passage.
  14. 14
    Open the drawers and smash the cabinet to get Chem Fluid, Gun Powder, and a Crystal Fragment.
  15. 15
    From the opening, heading right leads to a door at the end of the hallway that can be unlocked, returning you to the previous crawlspace area.
  16. 16
    Heading to the doors on the opposite side (left from where you entered) leads back to the large room with statues and a staircase.
  17. 17
    The statues in this room require an item you do not yet possess. You can view the Norshteyn's Labryinths (File) next to a model castle that requires an item.
  18. 18
    The door on the right leads to The Duke, a Typewriter (save point), and shop. Head there first.
  19. 19
    The path on the left leads to an area you've already visited. Head up the stairs.
  20. 20
    At the top of the stairs, turn right and open the drawer for Handgun ammo.
  21. 21
    You can unlock the door on the right here to return to a previously visited hallway.
  22. 22
    The other door on the lower level has an Urn with Lei to its left. The drawer to its right is empty. Head up the stairs.
  23. 23
    At the top of the stairs, you can go left, right, or through a central unlockable door. Head left.
  24. 24
    Smash the Urn for Lei. The door on the right is locked from the other side.
  25. 25
    The rest of this hallway leads to a dead end with an Urn containing Handgun ammo.
  26. 26
    Head back and take the opposite (right) path at the top of the stairs.
  27. 27
    This is another dead end hallway with an Urn containing Handgun ammo. The drawer to the left of the door is empty.
  28. 28
    Interact with the door and insert the Maroon Eye.
  29. 29
    Once you enter, you will be swarmed by insects and stalked by a Daughter. Simply run away through the hallways and another unlocked door.
  30. 30
    When you reach a room that appears to be a dead end, look for breakable wood to pass through.
  31. 31
    Notice an area you can drop down into a lower level. Do so.
  32. 32
    Upon landing, look to the right of the passageway to find a Maid's Diary (File).
  33. 33
    Head down the stairs and follow the linear path to the dead end. Crouch and look left for a crawl space.
  34. 34
    Once clear, exit into the next room. Look to the immediate right for Handgun ammo.
  35. 35
    Head around the other side of the table and into the dark hallway. Look up for a shiny spot on the ceiling to shoot down a Crystal Fragment.
  36. 36
    Follow the path down and head left to find a Crate with more Handgun ammo.
  37. 37
    Continue further down into a dead end with a hanging brazier. There are 2 unlit braziers on the floor.
  38. 38
    Walk into the hanging brazier while facing the unlit brazier(s) to make it swing and ignite them. Do this for both.
  39. 39
    Once both braziers are lit, the walls will part, revealing a doorway into a dungeon.
  40. 40
    In the dungeon, find the Treatment Candidates (File) on the right at the back.
  41. 41
    The cell to the left of the dead end has a broken wall, allowing access to cells on the opposite side.
  42. 42
    As soon as you walk through the cell door on the other side of the blockage, head straight into the cell opposite it for another note, the Observation Report (File).
  43. 43
    Back outside, a body will drop from above. Head into the cell on the left for a Crate containing Handgun ammo.
  44. 44
    The next cell on the left has Rusted Scrap on the floor.
  45. 45
    Exit that cell and enter the next set of cells on the left to find Metal Scrap.
  46. 46
    Head into the next cell on the left, smash the Crate for Lei.
  47. 47
    Prepare for combat as 3 human-like enemies with weapons will approach.
Tips
  • Smash all Urns and glass cabinets you find for useful items like ammo, Lei, and crafting materials.
  • The elevator switch is non-functional at this point; progress is made by exploring other paths.
  • The crawlspaces are linear paths that allow you to bypass locked doors or reach new areas.
  • The statue puzzle requires the Maroon Eye, which is found earlier in the castle.
  • The Daughter encounter is a chase sequence; focus on running and escaping rather than fighting.
  • The brazier puzzle in the dungeon requires careful positioning to ignite the floor braziers.
