The clue to solving the puzzle is an inscription on a large painting hanging on the wall.
Here’s the solution to the puzzle:
you could already use the stairs leading to the dungeon.
This will allow you to prepare for the monster’s blow or to attack in advance.
It is best to move slowly and eliminate more opponents as you go.
Ultimately, you have to reach the ladder that allows you to leave the basement.
On the way there, stop in the room with thetypewriterto save the game.
When you approach Lady Dimitrescu’s chambers, a cut-scene about overhearing the large vampire will play.
The main purpose of visiting Lady Dimitrescu ’s chambers isto find Dimitrescu’s Key.
It’s pretty well hidden - it’s hung from the candlestick shown in the picture above.
Don’t take a stab at attack Lady Dimitrescu, because you will fail regardless.
Unlike her daughters, attacking the main vampire will not stop her or slow her down.
It will just be a waste of ammo.
Back off and wait for the vampire to arrive at this location.
Run in the other direction quickly to get to the lever.
The big takeaway is thatLady Dimitrescu deals damage only in hand-to-hand combat.
You don’t need to fear her ranged attacks.
Once the pathway by the lever unlocks, run down the new hallway.
The only path leads down the stairs.
You will reach the altar shown in the picture in theHall of Sorrowwith theMask of Sorrow.
Taking the mask willtrigger the elevatorand the chase will end.
The hero will reach theCourtyard.
You now have two new passages to choose from.
To explore the first, head to theHall of Pleasurelocated on the first floor south of theMain Hall.
In the Hall of Pleasure, you will find the altar withthe Mask of Pleasure.
Unfortunately, the mask is on a trap, and the exit from the room will temporarily block.
You must, as a result, use the side passage located in the fireplace.
Before that happens, it’s a good idea to look around and collect the usual loot.
Preparing the shotgun will be your best bet before the fight.
In one corner of the armory you will findPipe Bombs.
Picking them up should make the boss appear.This time you have to defeat the vampire.
Right after you pick up the bombs, go to thesliding barricadevisible in the picture.
Move it to the side.
Ethan will probably have to chase the vampire away - use any gun to do so.
When you knock down a section of the wall, the icy air will always get inside the armory.
Attack her once she gets there, using the fact that she is then prone to gunfire.
Continue in this manner until the boss turns to stone and falls apart.
The defeated vampire will leave theCrystal Torso treasurebehind.
After winning the fight, look around the armory for theMounted Animal Skullshown in the picture.
Examine it in the inventory to find the interactive point That way you will getthe Animal Skull.
Return to the location from which you took the Mask of Pleasure.
Place the Animal Skull in its place, which will unlock the exit from the room.
You will have to avoid her as you go through the next steps in the castle.
Ethan will also be safe in the Merchant’s Room.
You must return to theCourtyard.
It’s not worth fighting the monsters here, as Ethan can get caught up by Lady Dimitrescu.
After reaching the new location, Lady Dimitrescu should temporarily suspend the chase.
Near the starting point, you will find aCastle Map Annex.
you might’t enterOpera Hallusing the nearest door.
Instead, you have to reach it by using the rooms upstairs.
Watch out for monsters.
you’re able to easily attack enemies from a distance.
The correct order of key presses is shown in the picture above.
Playing the tune correctly will unlock a locker where you will find theIron Insignia Key.
Boss fight - the third vampire daughter
You must now move towards theLibraryadjacent to the Opera Hall.
Your travel will beinterrupted by Lady Dimitrescu, who will appear in the area regardless of the chosen path.
Use your newly acquired Iron Insignia Key to open them.
Shortly after entering the Library, thefight with Lady Dimitrescu’s third daughter will begin.
Just like in the previous two fights,you gotta defeat this vampire with a trick.
Examine the central area of the library.
Ethan can find a handle-shapedleverhere.
Unfortunately, the last daughter is smart enoughto kill the roof every so often.
As soon as this happens, quickly run to the lever to launch the roof again.
Just like the previous sisters, you have to make the boss turn into stone and fall apart.
The third vampire will leave theCrystal Torso treasurebehind.
Here you will find the altar withthe Mask of Joy.
In the same room, you could optionally unlock the door to theMain Hall’sbalconies.
This is a good idea if you want to take a break and, for example, revisit Duke.
Your task is tofind 5 bells in the Atelierthat can beshot at.
It is best to use a pistol to solve the puzzle and thus not waste ammunition for better weapons.
you might shoot the bells in any order - the order below is just an example.
The first bellis on the round table next to the portrait.
The second bellis quite problematic.
It has been attached to a pendulum that operates behind a wall filled with holes.
If you miss, you’ve got the option to of course repeat the attack.
The third bellis more difficult to spot because of its small size.
It was placed on a large piece of furniture, in front of a painting.
The fourth bellforces you to use a small staircase in the room.
After you go upstairs, shoot the chandelier near the ceiling to make it swing.
It will expose the bell and you must shoot again at the perfect moment.
you might shoot at thefifth bellfrom the same place you hit the fourth bell.
Inspect the windows near the ceiling.
Look through them and you’ll see a bell located outside.
Aim at it and make the bullet break the shutter while flying to the target.
By going a narrow corridor, you will reach a ladder leading to theAttic.
Watch out for the monster that only pretends to be dead.
The most important find in the Attic is theF2 Rifle sniper rifle.
In this area, you will encounterflying monstersfor the first time.
This will allow you to reach their corpses and collect loot.
Ultimately, you have to get to the opposite end of the roof.
After reaching theBelfrylocation from the picture above, Ethan mustuse a rope to descentto theTower of Rage.
This will get you to the altar with the final fourthMask of Rage.
