Juan - Chapter 3 Optional Conversations.png

Following the initial cutscene that leads into Chapter 3, you'll have the opportunity to speak with Juan, who is reading by the tree in the courtyard's center. Speaking of Jeremy and the Dark Man, Juan will have three conversations, with the last ending with a goodbye.

Alone in the Dark - Chapter 3 01.png

With those out of the way, walk past Juan and into the small library to the left.

Alone in the Dark - Chapter 3 02.png

Jump down into the catacombs and find your way to the Grand Library.

Alone in the Dark - Chapter 3 03.png

Ascend two stairs and take the right by the cross-shaped socket on a pillar.

Alone in the Dark - Chapter 3 04.png

Continue following the path to the other side. Along the way, you'll discover The Great Library clue on top of a desk along the railings to your right.

Alone in the Dark - Chapter 3 05.png

At the end of the path, ascend yet another set of stairs to the third floor. Before continuing, let's pick up a Lagniappe that you can miss.

Unmasked Evil Lagniappe - Alone in the Dark.png

From the top of the staircase, look slightly right. On the wall directly in front of you, you'll find a small hole that's covered in green vines.

Unmasked Evil - Alone in the Dark 02.png

Squeeze through the gap, and you'll find the Unmasked Evil Lagniappe on a table that's lit by a green hue.

Alone in the Dark - Chapter 3 06.png

After collecting the Lagniappe, leave the crevice and follow the path straight ahead. At the end of this floor, pick up the cross from the statue's socket.

Alone in the Dark - Chapter 3 07.png

Doing so will trigger a cutscene with the Dark Man.

Alone in the Dark - Chapter 3 08.png

To escape the Dark Man, turn quickly and place the cross on the pillar behind the bookshelf directly behind you. Using the cross on the pillar will lower a ladder and allow you to descend to the floor below.

Alone in the Dark - Chapter 3 09.png

Once you're on the below floor, return to the pillar at the beginning of the floor to lower yet another ladder -- use this to climb to the floor above.

Alone in the Dark - Chapter 3 10.png

Please note that as you traverse the floors, you must move quickly and avoid getting too close to the Dark Man; otherwise, you will die and need to restart from your last save point.

Alone in the Dark - Chapter 3 11.png

On the third floor, follow the path to an open door and enter the room to the left. You may need to lure the Dark Man out of this room first to reach it. Then add the cross to the pillar in the corner to lower a ladder that takes you to the third floor.

Alone in the Dark - Chapter 3 12.png

Follow the path and enter through a doorway to stop the Dark Man from following you.

Alone in the Dark - Chapter 3 13.png

Once you're on the third floor, follow the path via the giant clerestory window to the other side of the floor. Add the cross to the pillar by the elevator.

Alone in the Dark - Chapter 3 14.png

Enter the elevator and pick up the book inside to start a cutscene that takes you to Gallatin Street. Escaping the Dark Man will also pop the Drop Me Off In New Orleans trophy.

After the cutscene, you'll receive the Matchbook Lagniappe, The Dark Man Enters clue, and will find yourself in the middle of the street.

Note the barrier behind you and the warehouse in front of you, then turn right to progress.

Alone in the Dark - Chapter 3 17.png

Make a left turn as soon as you can, where you will see a little boathouse -- defeat the nearby monster, followed by the monster that breaks through the boathouse door.

Alone in the Dark - Chapter 3 18.png

Once defeated, enter the boathouse, and you'll find the New Orleans Docks - Pier #11 clue on the wall.

Alone in the Dark - Chapter 3 20.png

After collecting the note, leave and continue along the street to reach a ladder behind the building.

Alone in the Dark - Chapter 3 21.png

Climb up and jump through the hole in the floor.

Alone in the Dark - Chapter 3 22.png

The crane key is on the wall by the door exit.

Alone in the Dark - Chapter 3 19.png

Exit the small house and go forward towards the docks; if you turn left, you'll find the Typewriter Ribbon Lagniappe on a small wooden crate at the end, whereas if you turn right and continue until the end, you'll find the crane machinery.

Alone in the Dark - Chapter 3 23.png Alone in the Dark - Chapter 3 24.png

Use the key to operate the crane, which will allow you access to the sewers and cause six monsters to appear -- three from the sewers and three from the previous area.

Alone in the Dark - Chapter 3 25.png

Walk down the stairs to the left of the crane, follow the sewers straight as far as possible, and turn right.

Alone in the Dark - Chapter 3 26.png

You should soon see a ladder. Climb the ladder to get into the warehouse.

Alone in the Dark - Chapter 3 27.png

Inside the warehouse, you'll find the Severed Horn Lagniappe on top of a wooden crate in the dark corner, just left of the main entrance door.

Alone in the Dark - Chapter 3 28.png

Once the Lagniappe is collected, head up the stairs and walk towards the office.

Alone in the Dark - Chapter 3 29.png

Pick up the All His Things clue from the wooden cabinet, which will share the safe combination (L4-R5-L4) for the nearby safe. On top of the cabinet, you'll also find the Tommy Gun.

Open the safe to get the Cargo Manifesto.

Alone in the Dark - Chapter 3 30.png

Walk out of the office and down the stairs towards the main entrance. You will be ambushed here.

Alone in the Dark - Chapter 3 31.png

For this fight, we recommend running back to the top of the stairs, which will funnel the monsters and make them much easier to take down.

Be sure to use the Tommy Gun for a kill to unlock the Gangster trophy.

Survive the ambush and make it back to the very beginning of the level, where you can now access the back streets.
