The Black Mirror Hints
How can I get blood for the altar?
1 of 6: Samuel doesn't have any more of the mammal blood he borrowed from Richard in Chapter III.
2 of 6: There aren't any other mammals around...
3 of 6: ...except Samuel!
4 of 6: If you've been following the story line closely in the last two chapters, you know that Samuel has come to a very serious -- and very scary -- conclusion about the murders.
5 of 6: You need to use the dagger on Samuel to get some blood for the silver cup.
6 of 6: To do that, close the altar close-up view and then click the dagger from inventory on Samuel (*not* on the altar). NOTE: Samuel doesn't light up or register as interactive, but the dagger will flash when it's in a spot where it can be used.
