The Underground
The Underground is the second area you’ll visit in Enigma of Fear and it serves as the central hub and the new base of operations. You’ll be coming back here regularly, especially as you unlock new areas and consult both Samuel and Agatha (who will move in shortly) for hints and tips. Before we get to that point, take a look around.
There are no Blood Zombies here so be sure to look in all the rooms, collecting up Med-Kits and ammo that may be lying around.
The main area you want to pay attention to is the central hub. This area has Blue, Red and Green hued lights, so when you find that, you’ll be in the right place! Here, make note of the Schematic on the desk for the Underground Project as this will show the layout for the area.
A lot if the doors here are locked in the main hallway (north of the central hub). This is because the different areas you’ll visit will link back to this central hub and give you shortcuts to various areas. This is actually really useful if you need to get back into certain areas quickly.
However, this guide should minimize the amount of travelling you do so you should only really be backtracking a bit – especially to the Graveyard later on in the game.
Also make note of the section in the central hub with the green hue of light (where Samuel will pop up later). There’s a computer behind him which allows you to access Cursed Items for extra bonuses. These serve as collectibles in the game, and the first is located on a table in the door just south of this computer.
You won’t be able to do anything with this right now so we’ll leave that until later on in the game!
One area in the hallway though includes a locked door you can enter (pictured above). The code is located on the floor. Pick it up, shine you UV light on it and you’ll notice 5 buttons marked. This is the code for the door, which reads as 1-4-8-9-6.
Enter the Director’s Office and you’ll find some random notes and recordings in here, linked back to the mission at hand. There’s specific mention of different field groups off on operations, including note of three different areas. Don’t worry, you’ll be visiting all of these in turn!
The Perimeter
When you’re ready, leave the Underground via the central stairwell leading up. When you emerge, it’ll be time to start different areas to unlock more of the big mystery surrounding the world.
This is where Enigma of Fear opens up and allows you to search around more thoroughly. However, while there is a choice over different sections (and I’d recommend doing this if you get stuck with certain puzzles and don’t want outright hints) there’s really only one option to proceed forward as quickly and as efficiently as possible. That is as follows:
- Graveyard of Melodies
- Crystal Cave
- Spiral Castle
- Graveyard of Melodies
- Cathedral
Each of these sections unlock a new skill or key puzzle piece that’s crucial to completing the next section. For Spiral Castle for example, you need an item gained in the Crystal Cave to finish it off entirely. But the item in Crystal Cave is made considerably more difficult to obtain by something there that requires an item collected in the Graveyard.
So with that in mind, (and to save you a good chunk of time) we’ll follow this as logically as possible and help you get through to the other side as quickly as possible!
To get to the Graveyard of Melodies, keep following the path west of the Perimeter. When you reach a sign, head west. In the next section, keep going and you should find a truck, an abandoned car and another pathway leading north or left. Go left, and eventually, when you notice purple/pink lamps, follow the path around into the Graveyard.
