Episode 1 Scene 2 | Episode 1 Alone in the Dark Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

You are going to be rewarded with a new cut-scene during which you'll be given an opportunity to see how Edward looks like. You should also notice that you've been given a chance to switch to TPP view. You can do this by pressing the TAB key. Take your time to familiarize yourself with the controls, especially since it's fairly difficult to move the character in the TPP view. Notice that you can use the SHIFT key for running and you can turn around quickly by pressing the ALT key.

There's a small balcony to the right of the mirror and that's where you'll have to go. Obviously you must be extremely careful here, because it's very easy to lose balance and fall. Proceed to the upper part of the screen and turn right, so you'll end up standing on top of an elevator (screen). Watch a new cut-scene.

You should be able to regain control over Carnby very soon. Once again, you'll end up standing on a very narrow balcony, so you shouldn't even think about using the sprint button. Start moving forward. Eventually you'll come across a ladder. Use it to get to the upper platform by pressing the action key (E by default). Once you're there, approach a large device (screen) and press the action key to lower down the rope.

You will have to press the action key once more in order to grab the rope. Familiarize yourself with the content of a new hint. Press and hold the S key and Edward will start lowering himself on the rope. Once you've reached a large fan, you will have to press the SPACE key. This will allow your main character to perform a jump (screen), preventing him from being cut to pieces by this device.

Use the SPACE key for the second time in a row to avoid a new fan. Ignore the camera trying to warn you about falling objects. You should be fine as long as you don't move. You will have to deal with a short puzzle before moving on. Thankfully, it's very easy to solve. Make sure that you're somewhere above the electricity (screen).

Your objective here will be to start swinging on the rope. You can do this by pressing side movement keys (A and D by default). Doing this will allow you to push a large electricity box to the left. This object will have to be blocked there (screen). If you've done everything according to the plan, you will be allowed to slide down all the way down without having to worry about receiving any injuries.

Proceed to the end of the rope. You won't have to release the rope. Instead, take your time to look around. The door on your right should explode. Pull up a little and start swinging. After that, press the SPACE key in order to get inside the building (screen). Thankfully, you'll be allowed to try this as many times as you need.
