Dreamfall: The Longest Journey Hints

How do I get back to the first side of the gate?

  • 1 of 10: You won't be able to go back up the hole that you knocked in the wall -- it's too dangerous that way.
  • 2 of 10: Nor can you open the gate that looks directly into the room with the four symbols.
  • 3 of 10: But if you explore, you may find another way back to first part of this lair, where you originally entered.
  • 4 of 10: As you're facing through the gate into the room with the symbols on the floor, turn to your right and walk down that passageway.
  • 5 of 10: There should be another passageway to your left -- this one, not nearly as well-crafted as most of the hallways around here.
  • 6 of 10: Go down that passageway, and notice how it seems to dead-end.
  • 7 of 10: Seems, being the operative word.
  • 8 of 10: This is a secret door.  Open it, and you're back in the other half of the lair.  You can now travel freely between the sections.
  • 9 of 10: As a side note, it's possible to open the secret door before you go down the crumbling passageway.  To do so, you'll need to watch one of the creatures opening the door.
  • 10 of 10: It will take a bit of sneaking -- you may need to hide behind some rubble down the hall from the secret door -- but it is possible if you're patient and/or lucky.  Of course, it isn't necessary to do so -- you can still open the door from other side without watching it being opened.
