Exit the area back under the arch. Spot a ledge on Aline's right. Climb over by using the action button. Grab the box of phosphorous cartridges at the top of the ledge. There are creatures on the other side--they're scared of Aline's flashlight. Use the flashlight to push them away or just blast them with the grenade launcher.

Once you are over the ledges, turn to Aline's right and run up the stairs. Use the action button to enter the next area. Go up the stairs to Aline's left and open the door at the top. You find Obed Morton inside; Aline confronts Obed about his past. After the conversation, search the corner to the right of the entrance door for a black metallic card and a charm of saving.

Exit the cell and descend the steps across the room. Enter the first door on the left into the oubliette.

Oubliette

Descend the steps onto the circular catwalk. Turn to Aline's left and head down the stairs to the bottom. Once you're there, turn to Aline's left and proceed into the tunnel ahead. You'll spot a table next to some sort of contraption that somewhat resembles an artillery cannon.

Search the table for some wire cutters and be sure to examine the documents and blueprints scattered about. Make sure you also pick up the metallic piece. There are three creatures nearby; take them out with your shotgun. Head down the tunnel to the left of the tables for two first aid kits. Ascend the staircase behind the table. Follow the ledge; when you reach the right turn, two creatures appear.

Kill the creatures with your shotgun. Round the bend to the right; kill another creature as you move. Grab the mould.

Return down into the oubliette and return to the entrance staircase. Ascend the staircase to the circular catwalk and then to the exit door. Now that you possess the wire cutters, return to the locked chest you saw a moment ago.

Turn to Aline's right after exiting the oubliette. Enter the first door on the left. Ascend the ledges on the right and then go left into the tunnel. Approach the chest and use the wire cutters to sever the chain. Open the chest and procure the large, ornate rusty key and the steel ingot.

Proceed back into the courtyard and retrace your steps back up the rampart. There was a locked tower door you passed on the south rampart. Approach the door and use the key acquired from the chest--the large, ornate rusty key--to unlock the door into the workshop.

Workshop

You'll find the entrance to the workshop at a tower on the south rampart.

Head to Aline's right. Explore the workshop table for a variety of items, including the stock of a weapon, the orange accelerator, and the butt of a weapon. Continue to the right to a desk and read the journal. Pick up the glass lens from the cabinet and two first aid kits in the alcove near the cabinet with the glass lens. The lever to the right of the west exit switches on the overhead lights.

Proceed out of the west exit and onto the north rampart. Approach the telescope. Use the action button on the telescope, and you'll notice you can't see a thing. Use the glass lens from the workshop on the telescope and then try again. Zoom in to see some sort of statue and ancient writing. Continue along the path to the left until the ground drops beneath Aline. You drop down into the reservoir.

The workshop is one of the key areas to completing the puzzles at the fort.

Reservoir

Walk forward until you are pulled underwater. Come up and equip the grenade launcher. Walk forward until the creature appears behind you. Quickly turn around and fire the grenade launcher at the aquatic beast--it falls after just a single shot. Cross the room as it curves around to the left.

Ascend the stairs and exit the door to the left. Grab the phosphorous cartridges on the ground to Aline's right and ascend the ladder. At the top of the ladder, grab the first aid kit on the right and the golden, red, and silver metallic cards on the left. You now have all the necessary items to enter the planetarium.

Have a weapon ready--the grenade launcher primarily--as you wade through the reservoir.

Go through the door and defeat the hound ahead of you. Go up the steps and back into the workshop. Retrace your steps out of the tower and descend the steps toward the fort courtyard. Climb over the ledges (where the creatures afraid of light hung around) and up the stairs on the right. Go down the stairs to Aline's right and continue down the tunnel until you reach the door with the unusual locking mechanism.

You need to place the metallic cards in the correct order. Each colored card matches one of the symbols. Have you been reading the documents carefully? Here is the correct solution for opening the door to the planetarium.

You'll find the planetarium locked with some unusual mechanism.

• Place the silver metallic card behind the bolt of lightning: silver flash
• Place the gold metallic card behind the star: golden star
• Place the red metallic card behind the sun: red sun
• Place the black metallic card behind the moon: black moon

Enter the now unlocked door and go into the planetarium.
