Alone in the Dark 4: The New Nightmare Hints

Where can I recharge my health and weapons?

  • 1 of 7: For one, there was a trap door just outside the entrance to the World of Darkness.  If you opened it, there were lots of "power-ups" like ammunition, first aid kits, and charms of saving.  You'll also find a lightning gun and battery.  But you had to open that before entering the World of Darkness -- if you think you'll need those items, you'll need to quit and load a saved game from outside.
  • 2 of 7: Notice all of those crystals in the passages in the World of Darkness?
  • 3 of 7: They will recharge the external battery (but not the charges in the weapons themselves) to 100%.
  • 4 of 7: The crystals grow back quite quickly, so as long as you use the energy weapons -- as I recommend you do -- you'll basically have infinite ammo.  The only downside to this is that the monsters also respawn quite quickly, so if you stand around too long, you'll also need that near-infinite ammo.
  • 5 of 7: You'll also learn how to use the World of Darkness to recharge your health.
  • 6 of 7: The glowing water you'll see very occasionally acts like a first aid kit.
  • 7 of 7: You'll need to fill a flask to take the water.
