Still Life Hints

Red Lantern Club -- Secret Room: How do I get the book behind the locked gate?

  • 1 of 13: There must be some other secret access that will open the locked gate.
  • 2 of 13: What else can Victoria interact with in this secret underground area?
  • 3 of 13: Have you tried looking closely at the fireplace?
  • 4 of 13: There seems to be some sort of keyhole to the left of the fireplace itself.
  • 5 of 13: Furthermore, there is a key on the mantle...
  • 6 of 13: ... or, at least, part of a key.
  • 7 of 13: Looks like a portion of the key is missing -- the handle with which to use the key.
  • 8 of 13: Combine the key tip with the key handle in inventory.
  • 9 of 13: The inventory now refers to the combination as a "fireplace key" -- how handy!
  • 10 of 13: Use the completed key on the fireplace keyhole.
  • 11 of 13: A gas fireplace!  And once it is turned off, Victoria can walk straight through -- right behind the room with the locked gate.
  • 12 of 13: Move up to the top of the screen, into the area inside the locked gate.
  • 13 of 13: Look closely at the book to discover some of the interesting past guests of the Red Lantern Club...  and to move into the next chapter.
