The Black Mirror Hints

How can I find out more about the man in the big painting?

  • 1 of 4: He's another Gordon guy with a sacred key. It seems you're going to have to chase this one down, too.
  • 2 of 4: Victoria is the one to ask about this. However, you won't get that conversation topic with her until you've looked at the painting in the study and raided Robert's secret safe.
  • 3 of 4: You also have to get and analyze a hair from Morris the groom.
  • 4 of 4: Once all that's done, talk to Victoria about the guy in the painting as many times as you can. Then you can return to the sanatorium to search for Lothar Gordon's grave.
