Dread X Collection 5: Official Guide

The aim of the launcher is to explore the secluded Outpost 3000 for pages for your comic book and presents to unlock meta-games at your birthday table.

Present Guide:

• 1st Present: It’s in the bathroom on the right, in the last stall.
• 2nd Present: Go to the front of the building. Click the light by the door three times, and count the amount of times the light across the street flashes. Subtract that number by 10 and flicker the light that many times.
• 3rd Present: Go into the arcade and play through the Zorlok game to get a present.
• 4th Present: Go back into the arcade room and climb the stairs into the now open door. Go down the path and into the theater. Complete the film reel puzzle in the projector room (Hint:The posters in the theater entry hallway). The present is down the moon path.
• 5th Present: Go to the door by the band and put the alien appendages back on the drummer alien. After that, click the red switch in front of the podium.
• 6th Present: Go to the open bar adorned with green neon lighting in the back left of the main room. Follow the orders listed on the bar’s computer terminal and place the completed drink on the counter when you’re finished. There are four drinks to make, so get cracking!
• 7th Present: Go to the Ballpit Zone and walk to the end to collect the present. Your new friend will arrive, and you’ll have to go from platform to platform without getting caught by them. (Hint:Sprint jump (SHIFT+SPACE by default) from the platform you’re on to get the most distance, keep jumping while traversing to the next platform to get the most speed, and wait for the monster to be far from you and the next platform you’re heading to during their patrol route).
• 8th Present: Go to the cafeteria and put the food objects in the stove in a certain order. (Hint:Pizza, Fish, and Pie. The creature will make a return, and you’ll have to use the center table to dart around it and back out the way you entered. When you do, the creature will fling open the previously closed door in the kitchen and leave.
• 10th Present:
• 9th Present: Go to the locker room door and go to the room in the back, with the lockers. Inspect the items inside the lockers to find out the code for the next. (Hint:1234 for Carl, then 1986 for Erin, then 2261 for Jill, then 0720 for Chris. The present is inside Chris’s locker.)
• 10th Present: Go to the back hallway where the locker room door is and go up the stairwell to the office. There will be a safe in the corner and a computer you can interact with. Use the computer’s files to find out the combination you’ll need to enter in the Safe program on the bottom left (the one with the lock icon). (Combination Answer: 2856)
• 11th Present: Go to the hallway behind the kitchen and into the alley outside. Interact with the meat knot on the dumpster and walk back in the hall. Now you’ll go down a new path that leads you into a maze that’ll eventually lead to the lighter you need to burn off that meat knot. Oh no! The monster’s returned! You’ll have to dart around them to get back to that dumpster. (Hint: Wait until you’re at a path between two major routes and wait for the monster to come barreling down one of the paths. Take the other one and you should be fine.) Burn the meat knot and grab the present within.
• 12th Present: Go to the opened playground and traverse up the play area to get the present. You’ll have to utilize crouching to get through this section (CTRL by default). When you do, the monster will come back and bring down the tube you took to get up there. You’ll have to make your way back with an alternate path, taking care to put as much distance between you and the monster before they notice you.

*The game has three simple rules that mechanics revolve around:*

• 1: Be Alone (Spoooooky).
• 2: Turn off all the Lights (That includes the light in the bedroom as well).
• 3: Close the Door (The bedroom door, that is).

When the creature is stationary and not chasing you, you can crouch to avoid alerting it. When it’s patrolling around and not alert, do not get within it’s line of sight. If it catches you, you’ll be reset to the beginning of that particular event.

• Leave the apartment.
• Go into the Deli.
• Speak to the Deli owner, go through the door that opens and walk into the elevator. Click the button inside said elevator.
• Talk to your friends and walk to the center of the party, all the way down at the center.
• Wait a while for the pile of viscera to rise and the doors in the chamber to open. Go through them and follow the path of liquid gunk.
• After falling down again, keep moving forward. Go down the hole that the creature creates and look for another dropdown with piping on the wall.
• Go down the elongated hallway. Keep going down it. Yes, keep going.
• When you’re in the room with the large object spinning around, go to the left and drop down the hole in the center of the floor.
• From there, go to the door and walk down the hall.

*Guide Written by FYRE Games*

Main Game:

• After you examine the house key, go to the kitchen.
• Pick up the bedroom key from the counter.
• Unlock the bedroom door. Inside is a computer and a chest. The chest is locked with a 3-digit code, and the computer requires a “data storage device”
• Find the 3-digit code by picking up the journal entries and turning them around to view the back. These journals are located in the dining room, the coffee room, and the bathroom (the digits will be arranged in order of the notes’ chronological order).
• Use the 3-digit code to unlock the trunk. Open the trunk and take the “MASSACRE: 1983” video game floppy disk.
• Interact with the computer to sit down and play the game.

  MASSACRE:1983 Guide

• To play the text adventure game, you must use your keyboard to type phrases in order to progress. You’ll type your phrase, then press enter. There’s a note on the dresser in the bedroom that goes over some rules about how to play these kinds of games efficiently.
• When you first behind “MASSACRE: 1983”, go to the car (one working command is “go to the car”).

• You’ll now have to enter the house (one working command is “go inside”)
• Once inside, you’ll need to make your way to the garage. To get there, you’ll need to follow one of these 2 paths. Laundry room > coffee room > kitchen, OR dining room > kitchen. Inside of the kitchen is the garage door (simply typing the name of the room will take you there. Note that the room must be next to the one you are currently in. These are all given in the text prompt).
• Break down the boards on the garage door using your axe. To start, examine the garage door (one working command is “examine garage door”)
• Break down the boards with your axe (one working command is “break boards with axe”)
• You should hear the boards break and fall. Once this is done, you’ll need to get up from your computer and walk to the garage.

• Flick the switch by the Storage Room to get the lights back on.
• Inspect what happened to your boss upstairs
• Go into the green screen to teleport to the next area.
• Follow the stranger down the sewer hole and keep going down the path.
• After you’ve reached the second Green Screen, go to the exit door at the far side of the room, then upstairs to your boss’s office to collect the keys.
• Use the wooden boards to scale up the shaft, while taking care not to fall into the void of blood inching closer beneath you.
• Take the left path to win the game, take the right path to get a bad ending that’ll put you back to right before you went down one of these paths.

Puppet Chamber Guide

• When you reach the chamber with a lot of puppets, you’ll eventually have to contend with a puppet armed with a knife following you. If you look at it, it will not advance, but if you break line-of-sight with it (and you will due to tight corners), it will quickly creep to you to give you a good stabbing.
• There are also stationary puppets armed with knives that’ll give you a love taps if you get near them, so avoid the following puppet while also not getting too close to these stationary wooden folks.

Chase Guide

• When you eventually come across those good ol’ knife puppets while getting chased by the monster, dodge them like you did previously in the Puppet Chamber. Don’t slow down too much though! You’ve got a rather large monster on your tail.

Introduction: Turn off the music, put the money under the front desk into the safe in the back of the caravan, but the tome on the box indicated in the back, and lock the back door (by clicking over the knob).

Power Outages: To deal with generators when the power’s off, look at which numbers on the generator box are highlighted red. Those are the ones you’re going to have to go to in-person to flick back on. You’ll find out where each set of generator switches are from the map right next to the main box. Each box has three switches that need to be flicked before it’s considered completed.

Venturing Outside: You’ll have to keep track of how much noise and visibility you’re bringing onto yourself whenever you exit your caravan. The levels of both will be indicated by a sound and eye icon, respectively. For audio, crouching is the quietest while sprinting is the loudest. For sight, having your flashlight on makes you the most visible, while having it off while in darkness is the opposite.

Items: First Aid Kits are placed all around the fair for you to retrieve and use as needed. Do note that you can only carry one at a time though. Flashlights are located in both your caravan (next to where the money from the intro was) and at the back of the Psychic’s station. There’s also a white spray can in the booth located at the center that you’ll need later.

Fending Off the Monster: While you’re working in the book, keep an eye on your front and rear caravan door locks. If you leave them unattended, they’ll eventually unlock themselves and the monster will get inside and attack you. Whenever you have to leave the caravan (for example, when the power’s out), look out the window next to the two doors to see if it’s safe. If the monster is standing right outside the door, take the other one, as taking the occupied door will lead right into an attack. If you do get attacked, hit the Left Mouse Button when the cursor hits between the two lines. The number in the center represents how many times you have to get it right before he’ll leave you alone.

*Book Guide written by Darkstone Digital!*

Solving Puzzle Pages: To solve a puzzle page, rotate the wheel on the card so the symbol found on the previous page is at the top. This symbol is the KEY for the next page. For example: The first solved puzzle reveals the sun symbol to be the next pages’ KEY so the next page will require the sun symbol to be at the top of the card. This will also set the four holes at the bottom of the card to a configuration that matches certain dots on the next page. Line up the bottom card holes to these dots. (Any dots that the holes in the card line up to will align the card with an answer circle in the center of the card’s ring.) Next, rotate the wheel on the card until the line in the answer circle is pointing to the KEY. This will cause a symbol to become burned into the page. Repeat this process until all symbols are burned into the page revealing the next KEY. HINT: There are a number of dots at the top of each page that show how many circles there are to uncover.

Revealing Symbols Within the Book: Once you have a KEY symbol; it will not only be used to solve the next page but will also be used to reveal the symbols on the blank pages of the book. When you discover a KEY symbol, a set of page numbers will appear on the ninth page of the book. Turn to these pages and set the card to the correct KEY then slide the card over the page. A red symbol will appear somewhere on the page within the center ring of the card. Hold the card in that position for a moment until the book automatically turns back to page 9 where a symbol can now be seen burned into the diagram. Repeat this process for each set of pages until all symbols are found.

The Final Symbol: There’s a paper at the end of the book that you can pick up and interact with. It’s noted that it needs some form of ultraviolet light in order to see what’s on the paper. Go to the attraction all the way to the right of your caravan (the one with the giant clown face on it) and hold the paper out while traversing it. Eventually, you’ll see a marking of the last symbol you need on the top to complete the ritual set.

• After you’ve won the game of Hide & Seek, go to the arcade game in the main hallway and play it. If you happen to get caught, just collect the Coin next to the machine on the table and try again.
• Back in the play room where you played Hide & Seek, use the green can on the table to push the dominos over, causing the small white ball to go into the chamber. Interact with the chamber to have it move up the rope, then interact with the blade near the suspended box to cut it down.

• If you reach a fail-state (where the entire village is fed up with you and chases you), you’ll have to collect the flowers in a darkened state while avoiding them. If they catch you one too many times during this state, you’ll lose and have to recollect all the flowers again.
• If you get struck by a bread projectile, pushed down from the dancing maidens, jostled by the chasing boy, hit by a leaf fan, pissed on by the roof boys, walk into the corn field, or caught by the Monster in said corn field, your fail-state will get ever closer (as indicated by the darkening of your screen).
• If you get caught by Mother, your maximum stamina will go down, making it more difficult to get out of sticky situations. It will not, however, increase your fail-state meter.
• After you collect 7 flowers, kill all of the villagers, Monsters and Mother included. You have a super jump now, so use that to your advantage to find your victims.

Guide to Batteries and Generators: Batteries can come in two variants: Red (Uncharged) and Green (Charged). To charge an uncharged battery, put it into a specific generator in the map. As for generators, some will have a button on them located in the middle of the device. Click that to proceed. It will, however, discharge your battery, so keep that in mind.

Guide to dealing with Monsters: The tall, purple eyed monsters can be halted by looking at them. They start moving after breaking line of sight from them for a few seconds. The other wailing monster can be stunned by flashing them with the battery (right mouse button by default). They can only be stunned once in a while, so use it only if you need to.

Solution to Translation Puzzle: It’s always the top choice.

*Do note that the game has five difficulty levels (with the game defaulting at the 3rd one). If you feel like an aspect of the game is too difficult (whether that be the QTE’s or the speed of the monster), we encourage you to make use of the choices available.
