Searching the Red Salon
Leysha’s journey to restore her memoriesrequires her to uncover a couple of important documentsand notes in the Red Salon. The first of these documents can be found in one of Richard’s basement offices. In the office with the grandfather clock, Leysha should open the clock and use obfuscate to reveal a hidden key. This allows the locked drawer on the desk nearby to be opened revealing a file on “Patient 0,” a girl named “Juliette.”
After finding this, the next clue Leysha needs can be found in the secret room beyond Richard’s study. To access this, Leysha will need to solve two puzzles. First, she must push the books on Richard’s bookshelf in a particular order. Richard left a note in the other room discussing his opinion on the order Freud’s books should be read, so push book 5, then book 3, and finally book 4 to open the hidden door.
The second puzzle is an elaborate music boxwith small swan statues in front of it. These swan statues can be rotated. Look at the paintings on the wall of Richard’s room (a document in the other room said that Oedipus points the way) and make note of where the hand in each picture is pointing.
Then rotate the swans so that the first swan points left, the second points down and left, the third points down, and the fourth points down and right. This will cause the music box to play Swan Lake, and cause the hidden door to open.
In the laboratory beyond the door, Leysha can find the file for “Patient 1,” named “Marie.” This is the other important file Leysha will need in order to regain her memories. With both files in hand, Leysha has every piece of information necessary for the confrontation to come.
Facing Yourself
After finishing herexploration of the lab and chasing Halsey, Leysha sees her gunned down and staked by an SI soldier. Before she can do anything, Leysha is dragged into a confrontation with herself, appearing as a series of hallucinations that encourage her to seek the truth. First, the Hallucination asks her a simple question: “Who are you Looking For?”
This question only has one good answer right now. Answer “I don’t know…” and other Leysha will agree, causing the confrontation to progress.
The next question is somewhat trickier: “What’s your name?” Despite the seeming ease of this question, the files found earlier paint a different picture. The right answer here is: “Maybe my name is Marie?” After this, other Leysha will almost immediately follow up with “Who is Richard?”
This one is fairly straightforward. If we’re Marie, then Patient 0 must be Halsey, and therefore Richard is Halsey’s Sire. This revelation pushes Leysha to one final question: “Who is Halsey?” The answer is, as indicated by Patient 0’s file, “Juliette.” With this, Marie’s memories are restored, and the truth is unveiled.
