The Black Mirror Hints
The chapel is locked! How do I get in?
1 of 10: Try asking around to see who has the key.
2 of 10: Talk to the boiler man, who's shoveling around outside the boiler room. He admits he has the key, but he won't let you into the chapel or lend you the key, even for a generous bribe from the bottomless wallet! He wasn't very cooperative last time, either, was he?
3 of 10: So guess what? You're going to have to trick him again!
4 of 10: Luckily the key to the chapel is on the same keyring as the key for the boiler room.
5 of 10: Did you notice that the nearby boiler room door is currently locked?
6 of 10: That means he'd have to whip out his precious keys to unlock the boiler room door in order to get back in.
7 of 10: What if he did so in a hurry, perceiving that there was some sort of big emergency in the boiler room? In his haste, he might be a bit careless with his keyring.
8 of 10: You need to figure out how to sneak into the boiler room and cause some mayhem.
9 of 10: Once the big smoke-out begins, you need to exit the sanatorium via James' secret escape route and make your way around the building to the boiler room entrance.
10 of 10: Sure 'nuff, the boiler man was in such a hurry to get inside and see what all the smoke was about that he didn't take the time to yank his keychain back out of the lock and return it to his pocket. It's still in the door! You can just take it and go open the chapel with it.
