The Black Mirror Hints

I found a camera, but I can't find film!

  • 1 of 9: Are you able to take the camera? If not, you'll need to complete other tasks and try again later. (As with many other items, you can't take the camera until you encounter a need for it.)
  • 2 of 9: The film in the drawer with the camera is no good, so you're going to have to look elsewhere.
  • 3 of 9: A search of the manor and grounds proves fruitless, so maybe you should ask someone.
  • 4 of 9: Robert is the man with the goods, so go ask him for some film.
  • 5 of 9: He'll say that you can have all you want, and that it's in his chest in the attic.
  • 6 of 9: So go to the old wing and enter the attic from there.
  • 7 of 9: The chest you're after is the interactive one that's inside the attic near the door, but it's locked!
  • 8 of 9: It's Robert's chest, so he (hopefully) will have the key. Return to his study door and talk to him again.
  • 9 of 9: After unlocking the chest, you can open it and get some film. You can then return to Robert and give him his key back, but that's not necessary (though it does help to keep the inventory clutter down to a minimum).
