Chapter 4: In the Entrails of the Mystery

Begin this chapter by running to the right. You can talk to Maddy if you wish, but otherwise continue to the elevator to her right.

As Maddy informs you, you can find Edrielle and Captain Nemo on the second floor. Go there now using the elevator.

Once on the second floor, keep going left until you bump into the two.

After your conversation, you’ll have the objective to analyze a map in the D3 area. For this, go up the ladder and run left to interact with the D3 shelf (i.e. the third shelf from the top in the D case).

Once you’re done viewing the map, exit that screen and go down the ladder. Go back to where Captain Nemo was standing previously, i.e. in front of the map of Earth. Here, you’ll find a brown magnifying glass.

Use the note from Ned Land on the magnifying glass. On the magnification screen, go down twice to select the blue lens and attempt to use it. This will lead you to your next objective: finding the blue lens.

Exit the magnification screen and run right until you bump into Akos, an engineer swearing as he works on a device.

He tells you where you might find the blue lens, so run right again to the elevator and go to the Infirmary.

In the infirmary, you can go to the far right of the screen to pick up an audiocylinder, which will start a new collection side mission.

For the blue lens, check the right-most glass pane on the giant case near the door you entered from.

With the blue lens in hand, return to the second floor using the elevator.

On the second floor, interact with the magnifying glass and switch to the blue lens option, then place the blue lens using the on-screen instruction.

Once you have Ned Land’s note updated with the hint, run right past Akos and use the note on the card-making machine.

On the card-making screen, remove the existing button from the card and then place buttons so that they align with the hint given on Ned Land’s note.

In other words, make sure the card looks like the screenshot below, and then submit it.

Now run all the way to the left on the same floor and use the “Access card for Nemo’s office” on the card reader just below the sign that says “Captain’s Office”.

Enter the office to the left, and then run to the bookcase on the far left of the office.

You need to interact with the right shelves to figure out what the bookcase is hiding. The hint for this is given on Ned Land’s note, which is also displayed on screen.

To decipher the hint, look to the corners of the note – these show you the order. Then, look at the roman numerals in the middle of the note, which have one of the order symbols between them.

The correct order you need to activate the shelves in is:

Second column, fourth shelf
Fifth column, second shelf
Fourth column, fifth shelf
Third column, third shelf

Note that the shelves will ‘light up’ if you get them right, so you know your progress as you go.

Interact with the two items here in the compartment – the crew log and the captain’s diary. Then, run right, open the door to Nemo’s office, and run right again to the elevator.

Use the elevator to go to the third floor. Once on the third floor, run all the way to the left to find the Nemo’s chamber elevator. Here, use your “Access to Nemo’s chamber elevator” keycard on the elevator.

Run right and talk to Nemo. After the conversation, you can pick up the second audiocylinder on a crate to the left of Nemo’s desk.

When you’re ready to proceed, interact with the red, glowing cylinder on Nemo’s desk.

Here, you need to stabilize the blue blood. To do this, drop green in the first position, red in the second position, and green again in the third position. Mix this green-red-green combination and you’ll have stabilized the blue blood.

Now go to the hatch to the right of Nemo’s desk and use the red keycard from your inventory on it. Go down this hatch.

When you reach the bottom of the ladder, be careful and watch for an opportunity. When the soldiers aren’t in the area, drop down and quickly go left to hide behind the steel lockers lying on the ground.

Wait for the soldier to pass to the right and then go left to hide behind the boxes. If the soldier hasn’t returned yet, you can go further left and use the ladder to go down.

On the next screen, go right and be ready to use the IMAG once you’re spotted. Proceed right and slide down the debris.

After the conversation, run to the far right of the corridor and use the red keycard to open the door at the end.

Go right again through the door. You can now pick up the final audiocylinder in this chapter by going to the far right of the screen.

To proceed, use the golden switch and press it to control the winch lift. Move the hook to the right, so that it’s directly above the first metal box’s handle. Lower the hook to grab and lift the box.

Then, go to the second metal box and pull it as far left as you can to reveal a hatch below where it was sitting.

Go to the hatch and use the red keycard on it. Go down the hatch now and you’ll find yourself trapped in the infirmary.

Approach the debris and pull out your IMAG. Use the option “Overheated” and then quickly use the red keycard on the hatch. Go down the ladder as soon as possible to avoid getting crushed by the debris.
