![]() If you do scavenge, you will find plenty of Oil so you can use your lantern a lot. If you previously did the illuminatus achievement, this should be easy. You should try and scavenge for as many tinderboxes and oil as you can. Try to avoid these, but especially the latter. If you somehow didn’t know this, standing in darkness and looking at enemies drains your sanity. It will just make the run longer and slightly tougher. You will be able to see the surroundings much easier. I recommend getting the Illuminatus achievement before so you will be familiar with some of the tinderbox locations - note the tinderbox locations do not actually change You need to know what you’re doing and where you’re going. I recommend at least one playthrough before doing this. You will be able to hear the enemies much easier doing this. The mode affects the Illuminatus achievement, which you can’t get while playing in Hard Mode as it reduces the number of tinderboxes throughout the level. The mode changes some fundamental elements of the game, and therefore can’t be changed halfway through. You can pick between normal mode and Hard Mode when starting a new game of Amnesia: The Dark Descent. If you die you go back to your last save. There is no danger music when the monsters are near. Monsters are faster, spot the player more easily, deal more damage and stay around for longer Less oil and tinderboxes throughout the levels Sanity dropping to zero results in death Autosaves are disabled, and manual saving costs 4 tinderboxes Hard mode differs from the normal game in the following ways: This achievement requires you to beat The Dark Descent on Hard Mode. It will not be an entire walkthrough but will guide you in beating the tougher parts of the game and give you information for monster spawns on each level. You can hide from the beast, or run away if you're lucky, but there's no escaping the dark and no one to blame but you when you plunge yourself into it.Welcome to the guide for the Masochist achievement. Frictional Games might be pushing the creature as the threat, but the real battle is, and will always be, between you and the generator – the real monster here. There's no checking the next room, or seeing what you can find if you keep going, that's it until you can find gas and, crucially, find your way back. But nothing quite cuts you off and abandons you in the way Amnesia: The Bunker's generator does. Plenty of games have some sort of thing you need to maintain to survive, from ammo or health, to the obviously similar torch batteries. Will the choice to search one location over another cause the generator to run out? Should you go left or right at the junction to search out precious fuel? How am I going to mess this up in a way I can only blame myself for? Is it going to fail again? (Almost certainly.) Where will I be when it does? It changes the entire experience because while you start the game afraid of an unpredictable monster, you end up far more scared of your own predictable decisions. Once it dies for the first time, it becomes a threat that weighs on the back of your mind for the rest of the game. The first time the lights died, I did just that and ended up feeling my way around the walls trying to identify haphazard arrangements of box corners to find landmarks that might point home.Īnd all because of the generator. This isn't the usual mildly inconvenient video game darkness you can bumble about in this is the sort of blackness where you can get lost in a small room because you can't find the edges. Without lights you can barely see more than a couple of feet in front of you. IDIOT.Īnd when I use words like 'absolute' and 'total' to describe the darkness you inflict on yourself, I mean it. You have no say in where the beast is or what it's doing, or where you need to go, but the one thing you can do is keep the lights on. That sinking feeling of absolute terror comes, in part, from the total blackness around you, but mostly from the fact that the generator is literally the only thing you have any control over and you messed up. That first time I ended up in the dark I'd pocketed the watch to free up a hand and lost track of time. ![]()
