Dead of the Night
By Caleb Irvin / September 14, 2026 / No Comments
1. 🔮 Activate the Sentinel Artifact
Head into the Main Hall and activate the Sentinel Artifact.
Around the mansion you’ll find three colored crystals/stones. These are initially involved in opening Pack-a-Punch and later reveal the three main quest branches.
2. 🔱 Get the THREE Tuning Forks
Each crystal gives you a different challenge.
🕰️ Clock
Find the active clock, interact with it, then stand inside the circle that appears and defeat the enemies until the Tuning Fork drops.
🧛 Perk statue
Find the indicated perk statue. Activating it starts a vampire lockdown.
Survive it and collect the second fork.
👻 Ghost
Interact with the object indicated by the crystal and follow the ghost through the mansion.
At the end you’ll receive the third fork.
Take all three Tuning Forks to the Forest Terrace gate.
Place them.
A Werewolf appears.
Defeat it and the Forest opens. Pack-a-Punch is at the rear.
3. 🛡️ Get your important equipment
Before going deep into the main quest, you’ll want:
Silver Bullets
Ballistic Shield
Alistair’s Folly → Chaos Theory → Alistair’s Annihilator
The Annihilator is particularly important because the Knight and Effigy branches require it.
4. 🔫 Alistair’s Folly
Find the four colored symbols hidden around the mansion.
Use them to open the locked case in the Library and retrieve:
Alistair’s Folly
You can then complete its upgrade process to obtain:
Chaos Theory
And finally:
✨ ALISTAIR’S ANNIHILATOR
The final upgrade involves collecting three Chaos Materia components through interactions involving the Mausoleum lamps, Nosferatu and the Forest’s glowing mushroom mounds.
5. 🔮 Reveal the THREE quest branches
Return to the same crystals you used earlier.
Look into them again.
You’ll see:
🔭 Telescope
🔥 Effigy
⚔️ Knight
Activate all three. You can tackle them in whatever order you want.
🔭 TELESCOPE BRANCH
6. ⚡ Shoot the Mausoleum rod
Go to the Cemetery.
Using Silver Bullets, shoot the lightning rod on top of the Mausoleum.
Co-op warning
All players must shoot it together.
When successful, the rod sinks and a beam fires toward the Atlas statue.
7. 🌈 Atlas puzzle
Go to the North Atrium Bridge.
You’ll find three wheel controls corresponding to Atlas’s rings.
An easy solution is:
Middle wheel LEFT → cover GREEN
Left wheel LEFT → cover BLUE
Right wheel LEFT → cover RED
Then repeat that sequence as necessary until all three beams are blocked simultaneously.
Atlas’s head is destroyed and the beam redirects toward the Greenhouse telescope.
8. ♈ Find THREE Zodiac symbols
Three Zodiac symbols have appeared around the mansion.
For every symbol you find, also locate the nearby scratch marks.
Write down:
Zodiac symbol + number of scratches
Once you have all three, arrange them:
FEWEST scratches → MOST scratches
Go to the telescope in the Greenhouse Laboratory.
Rotate the Zodiac dial and melee it to enter each symbol in your determined order.
Correct = telescope moves.
9. 🔭 Fire the telescope
Use your Ballistic Shield to operate the dome crank.
Open the roof completely and lock it open.
Activate the nearby electrical trap and use your shield to carry the electrical charge.
Return upstairs and bash the telescope with the electrified shield.
In co-op, have the players coordinate this interaction.
A huge beam shoots through the telescope.
🔭 TELESCOPE PUZZLE COMPLETE
A stone slab appears.
Interact with it, survive the lockdown, and collect it.
🔥 EFFIGY BRANCH
10. 🌳 Collect FIVE branches
Using charged shots from Alistair’s Annihilator, find the marked trees around the Cemetery/Forest route.
Shoot them to knock down:
Branch ×5
Collect all five.
They’ll form the Effigy.
11. 🪦 Find the 1912 grave
Search the Cemetery tombstones.
You’re looking for the grave with:
1912
Interact with it to activate Green Vision/Spirit Mode.
In co-op, there can be a character-specific requirement depending on whose name appears on the tombstone.
12. 🔥 Activate the Effigy
While using Green Vision, locate the completed Effigy.
Hit its base with the required fully charged Annihilator attack and interact with it.
You’ll transition into the quest’s spectral/ghost state.
13. 👻 Find the ghost woman
Search the mansion.
Possible areas include places such as:
Entrance Hall
Wine Cellar
Master Bedroom
Dining Room
When you find her, stay close and escort her toward the Cemetery.
At the end she drops another:
🪨 STONE SLAB
Interact with it and survive the lockdown.
🔥 EFFIGY COMPLETE.
⚔️ KNIGHT BRANCH
14. 🔵 Create blue fire
Activate the Fire Trap.
Shoot the flames with Alistair’s Annihilator until they become:
🔵 BLUE
Equip the Ballistic Shield and move through the blue flames.
Your shield becomes charged.
15. 🔥 Fireplace puzzle
Now you have to use that charged shield on 12 fireplaces, divided into:
3 sets of 4
Each set must be completed within roughly 45 seconds, and the fireplaces within each set have a particular order.
Successfully completing the sets gives you:
💎 Gem #1
💎 Gem #2
💎 Gem #3
16. ⚔️ Activate the THREE Knights
Find the three Knight statues:
⚔️ Cemetery
⚔️ Gardens
⚔️ Main Hall
Place the corresponding gems/energy cores into them.
Each Knight releases a floating crystal.
Escort each crystal into the Forest and take it to its matching colored ritual symbol.
17. 👻 Summon the spectral Knights
Once all three crystals are positioned, activate them.
Three spectral Knights appear.
Kill zombies near each Knight to provide souls.
They’ll slowly travel toward Pack-a-Punch.
Eventually the three Knights form a:
🔺 TRIANGLE
Now you need a Werewolf.
Get the Werewolf inside that triangle and defeat it there.
Another stone slab appears.
Activate it and survive the lockdown.
⚔️ KNIGHT COMPLETE.
🪨 18. Bring together the THREE slabs
You should now have:
🔭 Telescope Slab
🔥 Effigy Slab
⚔️ Knight Slab
Take the three slabs to the Forest.
Place them into the large sealed doorway.
The entrance opens.
Head down into the:
🌲 FOREST RUINS
You’re approaching the final fight.
⚠️ BOSS PREPARATION
Before committing, make sure you’re fully prepared with your best upgraded equipment, perks, shield and plenty of ammo.
The Alistair’s Annihilator is particularly useful for controlling the enemies during the finale.
Then enter the ruins.
🐺 19. SHADOW WEREWOLF BOSS
Your final opponent is an enormous:
🐺 SHADOW WEREWOLF
You’ll notice statues around the arena that produce beams of light.
These are the key to hurting him.
☀️ 20. Trap him in the light
Position the Werewolf underneath the statue’s beam.
When he’s caught in the light, his protection breaks and he becomes vulnerable.
DAMAGE HIM.
After enough damage, he’ll retreat and you’ll enter a survival phase.
Clear the enemies and stay alive.
🐺 21. Final phase
The Werewolf returns.
Repeat the process:
Activate light → lure Werewolf underneath → break protection → DAMAGE
Survive the surrounding enemies and keep hitting him during his vulnerable windows.
Eventually…
💥🐺 SHADOW WEREWOLF DEFEATED
The final cutscene begins.
🎬 TRIAL BY ORDEAL — COMPLETE
And with that, we’ve finished Dead of the Night.
