Hang on!
- YouTube: Alone in the Dark Hang On (Time: 2:56)
- Edward is hanging onto the rope used to climb into the helicopter on a precarious cliff side. As Edward climbs, debris will fall from the top. Carefully swing left or right to avoid the debris.
- As he climbs to the halfway point, the helicopter will start to slide out and ignite the leaking gas trail. Once the helicopter turns vertically, climb up and use the rope to swing onto the subway car balanced on the cliff side.
- TIP: Press B to jump from the rope.
- Hop into the bus and Sarah will send you a message about the screw room charging up with energy. As Edward moves forward, the bus will tip vertically and a rope will fall. Grab the rope and start climbing. Be wary of poison spitting spider creatures climbing down the rope.
- After killing 6 of those spiders, the subway car will plummet leaving Edward clutching the rope. Climb up to enter another subway car and walk through it to enter a subway tunnel.

Subway Station
- YouTube: Alone in the Dark Subway Station (Time: 6:15)
- Edward will see a couple people trapped on a subway car to the left and four humanoids will spew from the ground. Kill all four and that will trigger an onslaught of humanoid baddies to emerge.
- TIP: The best strategy for this portion is to move to the newly broken bathroom door in the subway station as soon at the first four are dead. Kill the female humanoid and poison spider and grab a ton of exploding bottles to take care off the rest.
- TIP: To take out the knife throwing humanoid, patiently wait for it to come to Edward in the bathroom. There is plenty of time to make sticky trap bombs and or reload several clips of fire ammo.
- Once the knife thrower is dead, Edward can go to the people on the subway car. Pop to the two poison spitting spiders to the right and head over to the car. The passenger will want to climb to the roof.
- Giant tentacles will grip the subway car. Wait as it repositioned the car and pick up the two ammo boxes in the back if needed. Shoot all the spiders off the nearby blood soaked ropes and jump from the car to the first rope.
- Swing left and right to jump to the second rope. Climb up and walk through the belly of the beast to find Edward back outside in Central Park.
-
Reach the Old Castle
- YouTube: Alone in the Dark Reach the Old Castle (Time: 0:58)
- Edward receives a couple texts about the park from Sarah. Read them and move towards the nearest car, a police car to the left. Check the GPS to see where Edward needs to go, hotwire it and take off.
- While in route to the castle, Sarah will send Edward an important message about finding twisted roots. The roots are connected to Lucifer and need to be burned in order to strengthen Edward and weaken Lucifer.
- TIP: The roots of evil are located in the static symbols on your radar. Feel free to drive around burning the roots. An explosive bottle / bullet combo works very well.
- Otherwise, drive directly to the route marker. There should be little to no enemy resistance along the way.
-
The Eye of Central Park
- YouTube: Alone in the Dark The Eye of Central Park (Time: 8:11)
- At the castle entrance, there are plenty of booze bottles lying around if you need to restock. Be ready for the wall crack monster to appear on the first landing. One fire bullet into the crack takes care of business.
- The door to the castle is locked, but one bullet to the lock will take care of it. A fire bullet will make the door fall completely apart.
- There will be plenty of ammo sitting in the locker and waiting area of the first room.
- At this point in the game, you will have to destroy 10 roots to continue on. Here are the ones that I used:
-
Burning Roots Part 1
- YouTube: Alone in the Dark 5 Part 18 Old Castle (Time: 10:28)
- TIP: Any time that Edward dies during this process, he will be sent back to the castle. Any root that has been burned will still be counted. It may be quicker to kill yourself and revert to the castle for ammo purposes.
- TIP: If you have trouble finding a root in the target zone, close the eyes (click Right Thumbstick) and the root will be glowing white.
- TIP: There are several different sizes of roots and each offer different amounts of Spectral Points. Use larger explosives for the giant roots.
- TIP: Always try to approach roots from an elevated position. It's easier to perform a stealthy strike, avoid enemy patrols and save on ammo.
- The first was next to the old castle in an amphitheater. There are two humanoids guarding it, but Edward only needs to kill one to get close enough to the root.
- Head back out to the main road to the north and drive east on the main road to the root on the island portion of the park. Eventually the road will seem blocked, but a path to the right will work. At the root, attach a sticky bottle to the spiders on the rope and shoot it at the top.
- The third root is further east. Drive at high speed down the road and launch your car off the ramp to the right. It will skyrocket another burning car to the root.
- Drive all the way around the black gorge to hit the next root. It's sitting on the southeast corner of the gorge. Approach from the right of the root to sneak around the fence and firebomb the giant root from behind.
- From this point, head to the trio of roots on the left side of the main lake and go to the upper left one. Four Humanoids are guarding the root on the tennis courts. To conserve ammo, just run up to burn the root and run away from the humanoids. You also need to be able to take a hit or two.
- Head west along on the lower main road. Edward will come across two small roots in a public restroom. Toss one Molotov over the fence near the restroom side. The other will have to be reached through the kitchen. Two fire bullets for each humanoid will kill them.
- TIP: The restroom & kitchen contains ammo.
- Continue west and start with the top of the three spots on the left of the map. There are nests of spider spitting creatures in the vicinity. Either shoot with fire bullets or avoid them completely long enough to fire bomb the small root in the pavilion on the right.
- Head directly south to destroy the small root growing inside the house. There are no enemies in this section.
- Head south into the gated section and walk downstairs to find a nest of spider creatures and the first of three roots. There is also plenty of ammo and supplies in the basement. Take the elevator upstairs to kill a wall crack monster.
- TIP: Step back in the elevator to avoid capture. The 2nd small root in this section is to the room on the right and the 3rd small root is a room on the left.
- TIP: There's a rope to repel down outside one of the offices on a balcony.

Back to The Eye of Central Park
- YouTube: Alone in the Dark 5 Burning more Roots (Time: 10:39)
- Eventually, Sarah will send you a message to go look for symbols in the castle area once Edward hits 30 on the spectral meter. (I had 36 at this point)
- Walk around the outside of the castle to find the symbols. There are 6 in total; one behind the painting inside the waiting room, one in the connecting room with the sludge, one just outside the entrance, one on the right side of the building, one along in the back staircase and one in the gazebo area out front.
- Use the flashlight to shine the symbol on the white glowing areas. It will unlock the elevator to the tower. Be wary of a couple humanoids that pop up as well as the black goo. Use the nearby glow sticks to light a path through the goo; thrown fire objects work just as well.
- CUTSCENE: Sarah will call once all the symbols are activated and warn of the possibility that the Light Bringer is dangerous.
- After the scene, Edward will be tossed immediately into a fight with a knife throwing humanoid. Use fire bullets and explosives to kill it. Also use your vision to see its weak spots.
- After the fight, put out the fire with the nearby extinguisher and head upstairs to take the elevator up. In the tower, use the telescope to look at the Moon and summon the light bringer.
