Black Mirror III Hints
How can I get into that shadow's room without being killed?
1 of 15: You'll need to force it to go into one of the three adjacent rooms without being in that room yourself.
2 of 15: It would be nice if you could move it into the small room that's south of its room and trap it there. However, looking over the door switch locations and the "door light numbers," you'll realize that it isn't possible.
3 of 15: The room to the right of the shadow's room won't work, either -- all three of its doors have to be open for its light to be on, and two of those doors lead to shadow creature rooms.
4 of 15: You're going to have to divert the shadow into the entry room. That sounds bad, since you'll need to get back into that room to leave the labyrinth, but you can move the shadow back to its starting room when the time comes.
5 of 15: Look over the in-game map (or my Labyrinth Map) and use the "door light numbers" to plan out how to move the shadow to the entry room safely.
6 of 15: The first thing to deal with is the fact that you'll need the door leading from the shadow's room to the entry room to be open. Also, the entry room will need to be dark when you open another door that leads into the shadow's room.
7 of 15: Since the entry room requires two doors to be open for its light to be on, and since you'll need to leave it through its south door, start by using the switch that closes the entry room's west door (the one that exits the labyrinth). Once again, that's something you can undo later when it's time to leave.
8 of 15: Open the entry room's south door if it's closed, then open the east door. The shadow won't attack you because your room light will come on (and its room light won't).
9 of 15: Go through the south door and close it from its other side to get the entry room's light turned off. The shadow won't go into the entry room just because it's dark, so you'll need to turn the shadow's room light on next.
10 of 15: To do that, you're going to open its room's south door from the other side.
11 of 15: Open the northern of the two east-side doors in your room, then go through it. However, don't open the north door yet, since that'll turn your room's light off. Given the choice of two dark rooms to flee to, the shadow will choose the one with you in it.
12 of 15: Since there's no switch in your room to close the door you just came through, you'll have to use the same switch you used to open that door.
13 of 15: There's no way to do that with your current character without leaving the room you need to be in, so switch to your other character and get him/her to do it.
14 of 15: Once that door is closed, switch back to your first character and open the north door. That'll force the shadow to flee into the entry room.
15 of 15: You can then enter the shadow's room and close its west door to trap the shadow in the entry room.
