Alone in the Dark 4: The New Nightmare Hints

How do I unlock the door immediately to the south of the smoking lounge?

  • 1 of 5: Well, it's not so much unlocking that door as it is waiting for it to unlock.
  • 2 of 5: After you've gone to the smoking lounge, you should be forced to explore the second floor for a bit.  If you're not there, see these hints to figure out what to do.
  • 3 of 5: Keep exploring the second floor until you're able to unlock most of the doors there.
  • 4 of 5: You can now head back down to the first floor via several of the staircases -- use the large spiral staircase to the north, the stairs in the lobby, or the single flight of stairs west of the lobby.
  • 5 of 5: You should find that the door you're asking about is now unlocked, so just open it.
