Alone in the Dark 4: The New Nightmare Hints

What am I supposed to do in the library?

  • 1 of 14: You may have found a hint elsewhere in the manor about what you can do in the library.
  • 2 of 14: The prism that Lucy Morton gave you was the key to finding that hint.
  • 3 of 14: After you figured out what to do with that prism, you should have gotten a "Library 3D Map".
  • 4 of 14: Go into your inventory to examine it.
  • 5 of 14: Don't forget you can rotate items when you're examining them.  (Use the arrow keys on the PC.)
  • 6 of 14: You should see a four-digit code written on the map.
  • 7 of 14: The map also shows you where to enter that code.
  • 8 of 14: Compare the map cube to the game's automap.
  • 9 of 14: Notice that both show four wedge-shaped bookshelves.
  • 10 of 14: And notice the star on the 3D map.
  • 11 of 14: It means that there's something on the left side of the second bookcase from the left.
  • 12 of 14: Go to that bookcase, about halfway down, and try to use the bookcase. Nothing will glitter when you shine your flashlight on that spot, but you can get a close-up of four books there.
  • 13 of 14: Once you've entered the code 1991, the bookcase will move to reveal a secret room.  Look around there to figure out what's next.
  • 14 of 14: Take the items in that room, and then pull a lever to summon a creature you'll need to fight.
