Alone in the Dark 4: The New Nightmare Hints

What should I do with the books with two triangles on their spines?

  • 1 of 9: You may have read something about these books elsewhere.
  • 2 of 9: Look around Alan's office, on the east side of the first floor.
  • 3 of 9: There's a will in the desk there -- read it for a hint here.
  • 4 of 9: Specifically, turn to the last couple of pages.
  • 5 of 9: Apparently, you need to press the four books in a certain order.
  • 6 of 9: Once you've found the books, you should notice that on each book, one of the corners on the triangles is circled.
  • 7 of 9: Also notice the diagram in the will -- the corners of the triangles there are numbered.
  • 8 of 9: Match up the circled corners with the numbers on the diagram and push the books in the indicated order.  (For example, find out which corner is labeled #1 on the diagram, and first push the book with that corner circled.)
  • 9 of 9: When you've pressed all four books, one of the paintings in the lobby will be unlocked.
