If you are a fan of survival horror games, Alone in the Dark gives you a golden chance to revisit a classic ‘90 game. The latest game is the seventh installment in the series, but over everything, it is the reimagination of the 1992 original game Alone in the Dark. Each chapter of the game is shrouded with mysteries and puzzles. Therefore, it is pretty normal that players will get stuck while trying to solve the puzzles of the chapter.

After Chapter 1, when players will start their Chapter 2 journey, a lot of questions will surround them regarding what is happening and where is Jeremy. The answers require lots of exploration and puzzle-solving. So, this guide will give players a detailed walkthrough of the chapter along with the solution to the puzzles.

Once Chapter 2 begins, players need to make their way to the Clerk’s Office from the reception area. Search the area thoroughly and you will receive a bunch of clues, including Broken Plates, Room Key, Staff & Patient Directory, and Repairing the Boiler clue. There’s even a safe and a few patient files to check. If you want to unlock the safe put L9 R1 L3. This is the code that you need to find, but we are just trying to help you out. 

Once these are all collected, players will be back to the main story and again they have to return to Stair Hall and Piazza. Take a right from the library and use the Batiste’s Keys to open the door.
