«In the silence of the graves, the dead whisper truths the living fear to hear.» – Excerpt from the Gravekeeper Lazarus’s Diary

Chapter 5: The Cemetery – Whispers from the Grave

Chapter 5 immerses you in the Cemetery, a vast graveyard where fog clings to eroded headstones like spectral fingers. It is not just a place of eternal rest; it is a labyrinth of forgotten sins, where each shadow hides a staggering zombie or a howling ghost. Caroline must navigate through paths veiled in mist, unraveling clues about the Gravekeeper Lazarus, a tormented soul whose experiments with the Puppet Virus spawned unspeakable abominations. The puzzles revolve around celestial alignments and metallic relics, demanding precision under constant pressure.

Main Objectives: Collect the Constellation Disk, solve the Dial Puzzle, and descend into the Catacombs for the encounter with the Common Grave boss. Prepare to spend shotgun shells if you are not careful; melee combat is your best ally in this initial section.

Entry to the Cemetery: Setting the Gloomy Tone

From the exit of the Sewers Passage, emerge at the Entry to the Cemetery under a blood moon that casts elongated shadows across twisted iron fences. The air is thick with the stench of decay, and distant bells toll like a funeral requiem. Head immediately to the left towards the gnarled oak where a crucified nun hangs lifeless, her tattered habit fluttering in the cold wind. Tear the Pegs from her bindings – these are essential for upgrading your Automatic Claw later on. Nearby, hidden behind a clutch of withered roses, lies the Club Key, faintly shining under the moonlight.

Step back and squeeze through the gap in the rusty fence. Get ready!: a translucent ghost materializes with a guttural wail, its ethereal form gliding through gravestones as it charges. Combat Tips: Ghosts are frail but swift – time your sidestep just as it lunges, granting you brief invincibility frames. Follow up with a quick Iron Bar hit to the torso; two impacts dispatch it without spending ammunition. Conserving resources is vital in the Cemetery, where items are scarce and every bullet counts.

Continue along the path to a weathered bench, where a handful of Shotgun Shells lie like offerings to the undead. Turn right through the ornate door into the first mausoleum, its door creaking open to reveal a stone sarcophagus. Force the lid open to claim the Bat Dial, a brass relic engraved with nocturnal motifs that foreshadow the stellar themes of the chapter.

Crossing the Bridge: Office and Buried Secrets

Walk across the unstable bridge that spans a murky ravine, where unseen things writhe below. On the other side stands the Cemetery Office – a squat building choked with ivy and boarded windows. Inside, a flickering lantern illuminates a cluttered desk laden with faded documents. Grab the Cemetery Map for orientation, along with a bottle of Painkillers to heal injuries. Behind the counter, rummage through the drawer for another dose of Painkillers, and open the rusty cabinet to obtain a Recording Tape. This tape, when played in your Cassette Player, reveals chilling audio logs from Lazarus, detailing his descent into madness: «The stars aligned, and the puppets danced. But the threads… they pull back.»

Descend through the hatch in the floor to the Burial Chamber below, a cramped vault lined with niches holding skeletal remains. Among the dust, locate the Piece of the Constellation Disk lodged between two coffins – it is serrated and cold to the touch, faintly pulsing as if it were alive.

Mausoleum Maze: Dials and Diaries

Return to the surface and ascend the grand stone stairs that dominate the entrance. Veer right into a side mausoleum, where the air turns colder, frosting in your breath. Inside, a sealed chest gives way to Spiral Pegs, ammunition for your nail gun. Engraved on the wall is the Gravekeeper Lazarus’s Diary 2, recounting a failed ritual: «The earth rejected the bodies, vomiting abominations as mockeries of life.» Chilling material that deepens the lore behind the origin of the Puppet Virus.

In the adjacent mausoleum, force open the coffin for the Turtle Dial, its shell pattern symbolizing resilience amid horror. Descend into the true Cemetery Fields, a mist-laden expanse dotted with open graves. A lurking ghost ambushes near a freshly dug pit – dispatch it quickly before it summons spectral winds that disorient your aim.

Open the nearby coffin for the Dog Dial, then push through the wrought-iron door and ascend more stairs. Another ghost patrols here; after taking it down, grab Painkillers from a pedestal to the right. Loop back, brushing against the central obelisk, until you reach a shadowed corner where Spiral Pegs are scattered along the mossy wall like forgotten teeth.

Head down the stairs, veering behind them: the right path leads to a coffin with Povidone (your antiseptic for burns and infections), while the left offers another dose from the same source. Next to the exit stairs, break another coffin for the Bird Dial. These dials are your pass to progress – collect them methodically to avoid setbacks in the thickening fog.

The Dial Puzzle: Celestial Machinations

Proceed along the winding path, unlocking the left door but postponing entry for now. Turn to loot a nearby mausoleum of Shotgun Shells. At the end of the path rises the grand Grand Mausoleum, its doors sealed by the Club Key. Insert it, and prepare for combat: a ghostly guardian within howls to life. Use the confined space to your advantage – lure its charge into a corner and bludgeon it with melee.

Search the interior: Shotgun Shells on an altar, the complete Constellation Disk, and the Gravekeeper Lazarus’s Diary 1. Combine the Disk with its previous Piece to form the intact artifact. Retreat to unlock a shortcut door to the Entrance, then proceed through.

Approach the mausoleum beside the hanging tree, taking down another ghost along the way. Examine the Constellation Disk and align it with the constellation of Gemini – a puzzle that requires rotational precision:

• Outer Ring: Rotate 5 times clockwise.
• Middle Ring: Rotate 2 times counterclockwise.
• Center Ring: Rotate 7 times clockwise.

Plug it into the base of the Gemini statue to unlock the Gemini Mausoleum. Inside, a cabinet contains Macabre Illustrations (clues for the next hunt) and the invaluable Metal Detector.

The Octagon Hunt: Buried Treasures

Activate the Metal Detector – it buzzes to life, scanning for buried metallic anomalies based on the cryptic sketches of the Illustrations. Your goal: unearth three Octagons in specific locales, each symbolizing a facet of Lazarus’s twisted alchemy.

1. Bronze Octagon: In the center of the area of the hanging tree, where the roots twist like veins. Dig precisely under the shadow of the nun.
2. Silver Octagon: In the grass patch in front of the stone basin statue (small bridge). The detector peaks close to the midpoint of the railing.
3. Gold Octagon: Behind the mausoleum door near the previous shut door, next to the wall where a weathered statue points accusingly. Probe the ground at the end of its gaze.

Upon recovering the final Octagon, the game darkens; zombies burst forth (hands visible in the darkness). Face them on your way to the giant pit in the center. Insert the dials and type «PEDRO»:

• Gold Octagon
• Silver Octagon
• Bronze Octagon

Behind the pit; activate the elevator to the Catacombs. Light candles; break crates. Right room for Old Photo. Ignore the right wooden door; end of the hallway – light candles, collect Pegs and Painkillers. Ascend stairs; take Marble Sword from the coffin. 4 enemies spawn – group them for multiple kills (Crossbow/Shotgun). Through wooden door to Burial Chamber; enemies en route (ignore if running). Down stair; rotate statues with Marble Sword (movable missing-arm statue):

• Crowned Knight: No change.
• Soldier Armor: 6 to the right.
• Semi-right: 3 to the right.
• Missing Arm: 1 to the left.

Save in Cemetery Office before the elevator down to Common Grave (Other Side). Boss spawns with enemies – kill them all (group for multi-kills, Shells in coffin). Attack boss with Iron Bar (waves increase, adds ghosts). Unlock Gravekeeper. Through the mirror to the real Common Grave; collect Spiral Pegs. Detachable Lantern (pedestal); transfer Batteries from Cassette Player. Break boxes; ascend stairs to Burial Chamber. Anna’s Sketchbook 4 (chair). Small mausoleum to the right: First Aid Kit. Ascend stairs to Gemini Mausoleum. Kill crabs in Sewers Passage (Painkillers if lost). Break crates to Cave; Pickaxe Hammer next to Joseph. Another path: Shotgun Shells, exit. Return to Cave for Joseph’s Diary 3 (duplicate, unlocks Sorcerer). Use Pickaxe Hammer on brick wall in Sewers Passage. Back to Cemetery Entrance; break brick wall in Burial Chamber, open coffin for Spiral Peg Drum (combine with Automatic Claw).

This section of the Cemetery not only sets the tone for gothic horror but also introduces key mechanics like scanning with the detector and astronomical alignments. If you struggle with the sudden darkness, prioritize early lantern upgrades; the Puppet Virus weakens Caroline’s vision, simulating her mental decay. Explore every nook for additional lore: Lazarus’s diaries reveal how the virus transforms bodies into «puppets» controlled by invisible threads, a theme that permeates the rest of the game.

Advanced Strategies for the Common Grave Boss

The Common Grave boss is a colossus of putrid flesh, resurrected by Lazarus’s failed rituals. It emerges from the ground with tentacles slashing the air, summoning zombie minions in growing waves. Phase 1: Focus on clearing adds with grouped shots – the Crossbow is ideal for piercing multiple targets. Phase 2: When the boss sinks, rush to the peripheral coffins for ammo; its area hits leave acid pools that slow you down. Phase 3: Ghosts join in, distract with flares if you have them. Attack exposed joints with the Iron Bar during post-attack openings. The key: positioning – use gravestones for cover. With practice, you can take it down in under 5 minutes, conserving resources for the School.

After victory, the mirror transports you to the «Other Side», a parallel realm where the Virus distorts reality. Here, enemies are more aggressive, but puzzles reveal fragments of Caroline’s childhood, tying deep narrative threads.

The Abandoned School: Twisted Memories and Child Puppets

Transitioning smoothly from the Cemetery, the School bursts forth as a bastion of corrupted innocence. Graffitied hallways and dusty classrooms teem with possessed dolls and living mannequins, echoes of the Virus’s experiments on orphaned children. This section expands the arsenal with tools like the Pickaxe Hammer and the Insecticide Sprayer, while music note and mythical figurine-based puzzles challenge your memory and observation. The lore centers around Isabella, a tormented teacher whose «special class» hid horrors.

Main Objectives: Collect fuses, figurines, and keys to access the basement; defeat the boss in the Hidden Room. Manage explosive traps and acidic enemies – the Insecticide is your lifeline.

The School is a peak of puzzle complexity: the figurine puzzle requires interdimensional travels, alternating between present and past. Strategy: Document codes in a physical notebook; diaries subtly change between planes, revealing layers of betrayal. Enemies like mannequins ignore bullets – use melee to dismember them.

Strategies for the Hidden Room Boss

This boss is a mashup of fused child limbs, a giant «puppet child» that weeps acid. Phase 1: Shoot at exposed eyes during charges; dodge by rolling. Phase 2: Summons dolls – prioritize with shotgun. Phase 3: Charges at walls to expose its core; stab with pickaxe. The ground is slippery with tears – maintain distance. Victory unlocks upgrades and a shortcut to the Commercial District.

The Desecrated Church: Unclean Rituals and Descent into the Bunker

The Church stands as a fallen sanctuary, where inverted crosses and bloodied altars narrate the corruption of the clergy by the Virus. Zombie nuns and mutated priests patrol the hallways, while candle puzzles and handheld scanners guide your descent into the underground Bunker, the heart of scientific experiments. This dual section fuses religious horror with dystopian sci-fi, culminating in revelations about the origin of the Virus.

Main Objectives: Ignite candle patterns, solve chemical mixes, and access sealed laboratories. The Bunker introduces submersible and acidic enemies – equip antidotes.

The Bunker is the technical climax: chemical puzzles demand millimetric precision, and failures drain health permanently. Strategy: Use the hand scanner to reveal holograms of past experiments, unlocking trophies like «Mad Scientist.» Diving enemies emerge from puddles – shoot bubbles to predict.

The Epic Finale: Confrontations and Choices

The final boss in the Bunker is a hybrid abomination: a priest fused with viral machinery, spitting tentacles and bioelectric projectiles. Phases: 1 – Damage armor with upgraded cannon. 2 – Dodge lasers, attack exposed core. 3 – Berserk mode; use injections for boosts. For the Good Ending, choose to sacrifice a memory of Caroline at the final altar, breaking the cycle of the Virus.

Post-credits, explore abandoned laboratories for missable collectibles like the Final Diary of Lazarus, hinting at a sequel.
