Necronomicon: The Dawning of Darkness Hints

I can't see where I'm going!

  • 1 of 7: It may help to turn off all of your lights and play this part in a dark room.
  • 2 of 7: You have some matches with you. Use them.
  • 3 of 7: Turn around about a quarter turn to your right. There are torches on the walls.
  • 4 of 7: Most of the torches are on the right side walls. At first, there is one with every step. Later there are torches every two steps.
  • 5 of 7: If you get turned around, don't follow the light. Go into the dark.
  • 6 of 7: Your progress will be stopped by a gate across the path. Light the torch near the gate to reveal a door -- your next destination.
  • 7 of 7: Once inside that room, use your last match to light the candelabra.
