The player must evade the monsters entirely, but this will affect Daniel's sanity as to hide from the monsters, the player must also hide in the dark. As Daniel loses sanity, the world will distort and become hard to navigate and the monsters will be able to sense the player. If Daniel remains in the dark for too long, he will gradually lose his sanity. Oil will allow Daniel to use a lamp to provide him with light and tinderboxes can be used to light candles and torches strewn throughout the mansion. It is often necessary to scour every corner for oil and tinderboxes. In order to stay sane, he must keep moving and pushing the plot forward, as well as making sure there is always light. Along with self-preservation, the players must keep the hero sane. Daniel cannot fight monsters and the only choice is to run or hide. The game takes place from a first person perspective, however there are no weapons. The player must solve the mystery of the mansion while running from a Shadow that is constantly chasing the player throughout the game. Gameplay has the player searching for Daniel's diaries and other notes and journals of the poor souls who have crossed Baron Alexander.

The only clues to Daniel's true identity are mementos and notes left behind by Daniel himself, who reminds himself to find and kill Alexander. This sends Agrippa through the portal, and the achievement will pop.Not an American user? DescriptionIn Amnesia: The Dark Descent, the player takes on the role of Daniel, an amnesiac man trapped in the mansion of a Prussian Baron named Alexander. Take Agrippa's head out of the inventory and use it on the portal. Patiently wait around long enough for the portal to open (basically stand around and do nothing for a few minutes). With Agrippa's head in tow, enter the Inner Sanctum and confront Alexander. Daniel must find a hand saw and use it to chop off Agrippa's head. DO NOT FORGET TO BRING AGRIPPA'S HEAD WITH YOU. Once the tonic is completed, use it on Agrippa to 'free' him. With all ingredients, Daniel can now make the tonic. This now gives you access to the laboratory. Parts of the Nave, the Transept and the Choir will be destroyed. After Daniel is captured, he can make his escape and return to the Nave. You cannot make the tonic until you've entered the Chancel with all six orb pieces.

Use your hammer/chisel out of the inventory on the large mushroom to gather it. You should see a large mushroom cap on the ground near the door entering the torture room with the Brass Bull. The poisonous mushroom can be found in the Choir. You must combine the Glass Jar with a piece of string (the piece of string can be found in Alexander's study - on top of the spiral staircase in the Transept) and lower this glass jar into the blood to gather it. Open the grate and you will see the blood inside. Go into the room with the sawing torture device and look on the ground for a grate. The vitae can be gathered from a room in the Transept. The invisible water monster you encountered earlier will eat the meat, and once you pull the string back up, you're left with a bone with a bit of Tampter on it. Tampter is obtained by grabbing the Hunk of Meat (in the room with all the cells before going to the Chancel, it'll be upstairs) and lowering it into the well (near the Transept).

I highly recommend doing all of the gathering BEFORE gathering all six pieces of the orb and entering the Chancel. To save Agrippa, you must make the Weyer's Tonic.ДЇor the Weyer's Tonic, you need Vitae, a poisonous mushroom and Tampter. You must rescue Agrippa and obtain his head.
