Alone in the Dark 3 Hints
Important notes about these hints!
In my opinion, a lot of the puzzles in ALONE IN THE DARK 3 are pretty rotten. Some of them are silly or illogical and others aren't all that bad to solve but are really difficult to implement because the interface can get very picky at times. I've tried my best to explain the puzzles whenever I thought that there was an explanation to be given, but I've left out some of the subtlety in my hints for puzzles that I just thought couldn't be solved through logic.
Because there are plenty of places in this game where you can get stuck because you left an item behind and aren't allowed to return to get it, I've included checklists for most sections. These checklists will give you a list of all the items that you're supposed to have at the end of each section and might have missed, but be warned that they may contain spoilers, so read with caution. The checklists say nothing about how the items are used -- just that you need them to get through the game, so you don't have to worry about seeing the answers to any specific puzzle.
Also, note that there are a lot of red herrings in the game -- doors that can't be unlocked (at least not when you first encounter them), for example. I haven't bothered to create hints for these, since there are just too many, so if you can't find a question for a puzzle, it may be that there's just no solution. Similarly, some monsters are rather easy to kill (at least if you have the combat difficulty turned down), and I haven't bothered to tell you how to win those combats.
