Dead Take has more than it’s fair share of difficult puzzles in game. One of the puzzles involves you going into a dark room to develop some undeveloped film.
Read on to learn exactly how to solve the Dark Room Puzzle.
How to Solve the Dark Room Puzzle in Dead Take
When you get to the point where you have to develop the film, make sure you are standing in front of a pile of film stacked on top of each other. First grab the red lightbulb from the pile of film stacked on top of each other. Then go into the room with the red light on top. You’ll see a light bulb– grab it and put the red light bulb in it’s place. Also make sure to grab the canister sitting at the table.
What you need to do is develop the undeveloped roll of film using the chemicals in the room but you have to do it in order! First take the film to the machine marked H20 Yellow. Set the undeveloped film in the machine and click it on. After its done, go to C9 – Pink and do the same thing you did with the yellow. The machine will whirl to life. All you have to do is wait until it’s done before taking it out.
The next color is NH4 Red followed by the machine that is marked with CH3 Blue. This leaves you with only one last step and it’s back to H20 Yellow! Yes, you read that right. It’s time to go back to where this puzzle started. After you put the film in the machine marked H20 yellow, a cut scene is going to play.
Here is a repeat of the order:
- H2O
- C9H10N20
- [NH4]2S2O3
- CH3CO2H
- H2O
It’s a pretty straightforward puzzle once you know the order that the film needs to go in, so it can develop properly!
