Alone in the Dark 4: The New Nightmare Hints

How do I get out of the crypt?

  • 1 of 16: Take a close look at all of the doors in the central room of the crypt.
  • 2 of 16: You can go through the one of the doors -- the one with Jeremy Morton's name on it.
  • 3 of 16: Open it and take all of the items on the other side.
  • 4 of 16: Look for a small metallic object on top of the casket.
  • 5 of 16: When you pick it up, you'll also see an inscription, which says, "Only a symbol of light will open the tomb."
  • 6 of 16: Have you seen anywhere to make that symbol?
  • 7 of 16: There are a bunch of gems on one wall of the central room of the crypt.
  • 8 of 16: Notice what happens when you move your flashlight over the gems.
  • 9 of 16: Instead of just sparkling with the usual purple to indicate a hot spot, they sometimes might stay glowing.
  • 10 of 16: Try to draw a pattern with the gems.
  • 11 of 16: If you shine your light on the right gem, it will stay green, but if you light any other gem, it will reset all of the others in the puzzle.
  • 12 of 16: That means you have to be careful where you shine your flashlight.
  • 13 of 16: It might even help to narrow the beam.
  • 14 of 16: Use the metal cover from Jeremy's tomb on the flashlight, and you'll now have a much narrower beam.  It also helps to aim the flashlight manually, either using your mouse if you're on a PC or using analog controls if you're on a PlayStation.
  • 15 of 16: Now, see what symbol you can draw.
  • 16 of 16: When you draw the symbol, the door to Richard's tomb will open.  Go through it.
