================================================================================ { } { 01 - Introduction } { } ================================================================================ This is a guide to the Penumbra Black Plague - Episode 2 game. I do not intend on rehashing the manual so you should refer to it if you are unsure of controls etc. I decided to write the walkthrough after writing one for the first episode. I have seen other walkthroughs that don't have as much detail as this walkthrough. My walkthrough also includes maps with item locations marked to make it easier to navigate the game. This guide has been written by me after some long painstaking effort so please do not rip my walkthrough off. Finally it will contain SPOILERS so only read if you are really stuck. haven't managed to find all the documents so will have to include them in a later version of the walkthrough (should I get time). ================================================================================ { } { 02 - General Notes } { } ================================================================================ * Use the GLOWSTICK rather than the torch because it never runs out of power and it enables you to see better than the torch (I never used the torch in

the entire game). * You can run past most of the enemies in the game, this is the best option until you get to the Shelter. You'll then need to do some sneaking. * I won't instruct you to save, but feel free to save when you want. ================================================================================ { } { 03 - Enemies } { } ================================================================================ There aren't a great number of enemies in the game. encounter include: The enemies you will

Infected - Humans taken over by the Tuurngait Virus. Worms - Giant worm from last game (only encounter one) You can't kill any of them (except in one instance in the Shelter) so avoid and run if spotted. ================================================================================ { } { 04 - Walkthrough } { } ================================================================================ This section is the complete walkthrough for the game. ================================================================================ ************************************* Cell ************************************* ================================================================================ Your starting point is indicated by the word START on the map below. The whole area is interlinked so I have included an entire map of the location rather than indvidual maps for different sections.

Name - Elott Carpenter. Rank - elevated. Status Code C. Imprisoned observing the Tuurngait movement, I predict it will be my cell they visit next.

================================================================================ Will you do this for me? it asked, and I said that I would.

I, however, will not make the same mistakes my father made you now understand the truth of the events that lead me here, and the immeasurable importance of my words. Armed with this knowledge, you must have the strength to do that which I could not. The Tuurngait was quite correct we humans are dangerous, headless heard, but intelligent individuals. The members of this facility sought to reveal and control the Tuurngait, and the Tuurngait turned to me for salvation. The hive ran its tests on me and I jumped through its hoops like the monkey it took me for. But I am no monkey. The Tuurngait was right I am entirely unlike it: I had more in common with Clarence. I promised I would send this email to you. I promised I would ask that you keep all humans from this place for the sake of the Tuurngait, and for the human race. I lied. If we are lucky, then by the time you read this, I will be dead. If fate frowns, we all perish. The North-Western Mine is located at reference N81.6914, W58.3154. Kill them. Kill them all.

Mild sedative administered. Hour 3 - patient develops a rash on the neck (possible infection entry point?) Hour 4 - Two of the three symptoms manifested. Deja Vu (patient reports that he has already undergone standard tests when I was the only one who could have administered them.) Paranoia (said testing is abhorrent to the patient). I have no doubt that the third symptom, aural disorientation, will take hold in the next 30 minutes. Abnormal noises, even disembodied noises and alternate personalities are commonly reported in other infected staff. Hour 6 - Patient secured, as per archaic standard procedure. Bolted the poor bastard down myself - we can't protect ourselves from infection, but we can take precautions with the infected. Hour 7 - Patient pronounced expired by common consent of all those present. Expiration was caused by an overdose of insulin. I administered the dose myself at 06:12 - death did not occur for another 30 minutes, three times the expected figure.

Shelter is almost an entirely self sufficient installation, built in the 70s to further serve the purpose of the Archaic Elevated Caste, in their pursuit, and defence, of ancient knowledge.

As a new member of the facility, there are some basic rules that you should be aware of, in order to be useful to the Archaic. Shelter provides living facilities, including a mess hall, gymnasium, and medical bay, in addition to the stipulated array of laboratories (chemical and biological), work stations, excavation equipment, and security. Please use the former at your leisure, but expect to be assigned to the later with a moments notice. Second, due to the nature of work here, should you in any way feel ill, light-headed, or otherwise mentally incapacitated, DO NOT report to the medical facility. fasten yourself to whatever solid object may be available, attempt to seal all connecting doors, and await retrieval by our trained professionals. In a worse case scenario, be prepared to swallow your personal cyanide capsule which will be issued to you after this briefing. The archaic hates to lose its treasured staff, but it may be for the good of the operation. We know you will enjoy working with us. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------6) Howard's Research (Research.txt) - 2 pages -------------------------------------------------------------------------------My research has uncovered something ... fascinating. Time and again I warned overseer frisk I needed time to perform a full textural analysis, before my translation could be considered complete. He went ahead with the excavation anyway, and now he has paid the price. This facility's security level is high enough that no trace it exists beyond the confines of these walls - not even the Archaic Central Caste have records of its location. In fact, the only link to this place in the outside world is the notes I left behind many years ago, no rescue attempts have been made, not one person has tried to enter the facility. Just before the virus was released, I sent a message out to someone I could trust. I can only assume my son, Philip, has received the note, and done what I asked. No matter what happens down here, at least I can rest easy knowing that no trace remains of this place, that those secrets remain buried here. I learned that over the years, never put too much weight on any one discovery, but the information I hold is vital not just to our survival, but the future of our species. First thing in the morning, I intend to call on volunteers to set out into the infected area of the shelter. No one will come but I shall ask all the same. I'll make a move for the library first, then its unknown variables. After that, I shall simply have to put my faith in this discovery. If I am wrong about this, I will barely make it through residential. to think I left my family for this place, for this organisation. Which is more horrible: that I have sacrificed something so dear, or that I do not regret it for a second.

Timeframe - 5 weeks Location - hold up in the mess hall Research subjects - three archaic personnel who contracted the virus With every infection, the process - the lifecycle of the virus becomes clearer. In addition to the already - documented symptoms, there seems to be some final stages during which the organism fully take hold. Just before becoming fully catatonic, the infested report out of body experiences. They've likened these to being observed through a series of their own memories, some kind of mental obstacle course. These reports inevitably end in the patient being swallowed by some inescapable dark force, shortly after which we lose them for good. If these experiences are, as the seem to be, some form pf representation of the infection process, we can only theorise as to what might occur should the patient 'escape' the hallucination. Additional note Today, Dr Eminiss confided in me that he has had such an experience. He insists that he feels better than he has in months.

However, were we to assume that the virus could somehow infect a host, without fully taking control of its upper brain functions, we might observer the following. Fact: Translator Lafrsque, in his (ignored) efforts to prevent the release of the virus, correctly predicted the virus was capable of manipulating the hosts motor-neuron functions. Theory: were an instance of the infection controlled and sustained we may find that a) the virus seeks to keep its host alive in whatever way possible (suicide would be against the rules), and that b) the virus gains control over some or all sensory faculties, facilitating such an objective. Fact: when the virus infects a host of any species it adapts the organisms brain functions as best it can to suit its own purposes. Theory: were the virus unable to fully take hold, it may develop some partitioning of the hosts consciousness, effectively perverting a small corner of the hosts mind into a form of secondary personality. Fact: the Tuurngait virus was released from (according to LaFresque) a tomb many centuries old. Theory: were some mental segmentation to occur, it seems plausible to suggest that each personality the virus and the host may have access to one anothers memories. Given the age of the virus, this may be a substantial collection. It should be carefully noted that the bulk of the above remains conjecture and should not be relied upon in any Archaic protocol. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------11) Temple Operation (Tomb.txt) - 2 Pages -------------------------------------------------------------------------------Temple Operation Primary Excavation - 'Tuurngait Tomb' Project Lifespan: March, 3 2000 - present Chief overseer Wilbur Frisk Previous Nature: Excavation Current Nature: Xeno Research Background: the primary excavation site is the central pursuit of the Archaic at Shelter Greenland.

Current Purpose: understanding the tomb and its contents Findings: The bulk of the work is the responsibility of the language team, ie chief translator Howard Lafresque. His findings so far are as follows: - the tomb was the home of some sort of ancient organism - the organism may have been quarantined - the term 'Tuurngait' is derived from the inuit legend concerning evil spirits - Lafresque recommends immediate suspension of primary excavation operation Expenses: - Man Weeks: approx 27,396 - Material: approx $53m Scheduled Operations as of April 27, 2000 - Tomb investigation (May 1, 2000): a team will unseal the tomb for standard series probe tests.

The accident coincides with local reports, dated over a period of decades, concerning abnormal animal behaviours and growth, high suicide rates and unusual events within the mine itself. These reports centralise over the precise location of the mine collapse (itself reportedly caused by a crazed miner). Xeno activity is suspected, and a full investigation sanctioned. Purpose: to located Initial personnel Elevated caste: 7 Chief Staff: 5 Lower Caste: 51 Temporary: 25 Total Population: 88 Operation After two years of construction, Shelter is now practically self sufficient, eliminating many issues surrounding Archaic privacy concerns (concerns threatened during the construction phase by the increased freight required). Shelter operates with a skeleton research staff, supported by a small crew of maintenance and general core personnel. An elevated caste presence of reasonable magnitude is warranted by the potential value of any discoveries. Unskilled labour and resource management is outsourced to (discreet) local villagers. Plans to adapt more than a fraction of the old mining complex to Archaic needs have been abandoned , and work is now commencing on the excavation site immediately below the facility (and within half a mile of the 1973 explosion site). Security Level: highest priority. According to standard procedure, all documentation concerning the facility was destroyed upon construction. All those who know of the facilities existence either work within the facility, or are not of great concern. The facility can sustain itself with only minor reliance on local settlements. The facility, for all its intents and purposes, does not exist. This presents only minor practical annoyances. Findings - Substances 53, 63 and 70 - 73 - 'Persona Tardus' artefacts: 27 (now believed to be somehow related to the contents of the recently discovered tomb) - 'Finis Specialis' artefacts: 10 ( of little real value to the Archaic but, for some reason, of great collectable value to the lower caste) - 'Tuurngait Tomb' and retrieve xeno evidence and artefacts.

If you are not a member of the Archaic, please turn yourself in to the nearest community support officer. The Archaic, as we now know it, was founded in 1519 by Franceco Melzi, a Milanese noble. The foundation of the movement (assumed erroneously by some to be a sect) was the private work of Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci, revealed to be his most trusted student, Melzi, on his deathbed. Many rumours circulated at the time pertaining towards a sexual relationship between the two, and this was and explanation for their secrecy they were quite happy to embrace. Much is held to be known of Da Vincis engineering work, though in truth, the few sketches and notes in the public domain only begin to touch on the depth of his knowledge. For instance it is often said of his designs for flying machines that they were entirely impractical we realise now that they are only impractical when limited by human production materials. The Archaic remained unnamed for centuries Melzi and his successors understood the power of a name to identify and tie down its owner, and even today, Archaic remains an unofficial and internal term. As we enter the 21st Century, the archaic performs much the same role as it always has: to locate, understand, and protect xeno evidence and life forms albeit on a far greater scale. Today, our movement is served by over 30,000 devoted members at 203 installations world wide. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------15) Cryo Manual - 3 pages -------------------------------------------------------------------------------Cryo-Stasis Usage Policy The cryo-stasis facility is a state-of-the-art installation allowing for cryogenic freezing of severely injured personnel who may be resuscitated at a later date. During freezing, users may or may not experience mild hallucination [to be confirmed when first user is successfully revived from stasis]. Fair Usage Policy The following scenarios are considered acceptable cause for use of the cryo-stasis facility: - Any overseer or Elevated Caste member is critically ill or injured - Any Lower Caste member of the Archaic holding vital information is critically ill / injured - Any patients infected with a non-terra virus or bacteria, provided they have

first been deem non-contagious - Any injured personnel with the following incurable ailments should enter stasis for later medical research: cardiomyopathy, glaucoma, polio, diabetes, or halitosis - Any Elevated Caste member deemed clinically dead should enter stasis for ceremonial purposes. Maintenance period for deceased users to be increased, pending research benefits at Greenland Site, making revival a potential solution. Access Access is strictly forbidden to all non-medical personnel. At this time, the Archaic is unable to staff the facility 24hrs. As a result, heart-rate-sensitive wristbands have been issued to high-priority, high-risk personnel. Keep these wristbands with you at all times they allow automated access to the facility, in the event that the wearers heart rate indicates a high probability of approaching death. Post-Script Lower Caste personnel are entitled to an opt-in, opt-out scheme, whereby they may choose to sign a consent form where, in the event of critical injury, they will be entitled to at least partial cryo-stasis. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------16) Chemical tests - 2 pages -------------------------------------------------------------------------------Standard Series Chemical tests Subject: primate (chimpanzee) Chemical: Temazepan Result: as expected, the subject displays symptoms of relaxation and lethargy. Chemical: Lysergic acid diethylamide Result: Much akin to previous work with felines, the chimpanzees shows no ability to cope with the chemical stimulant. Chemical: Viscae Somnus Result: Following inject, the subjects heart rate slows to such a rate, that, for all intents and purposes, it appears dead. In truth, heart rate has dropped to incredibly a safe level, and the subject recovers soon after. Chemical: Tetrahydrocannabinol Result: This chemical is held to be entirely safe in moderation, and produces a relaxation effect in the subject. It remains to be seen whether long term exposure leads to health risks. This primate is worn out. Please consider this as an official requisition order for further test subjects from the mainland. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------17) Howards Final Words - 4 pages -------------------------------------------------------------------------------Tuurngait Virus Sentience Conclusions Howard LaFresque Since leaving behind the last bastion of humanity in this place behind, it has become clear that my faith was well-placed my conclusions were all correct,

and it is only that which has brought me this far. It has taken me sometime to make my way through the infected area of the shelter, and with the observations I have made, my prior discovery seems all the more obvious and vital. - The infected humans communicate with one another - Similar, if simpler communication is observed in infected creatures of all species. - At times the infected seem to co-ordinate without clear line of sight: telepathy. - Despite a catatonic appearance, the infected are quite capable of high-level brain functions: their problem solving abilities at times seem to far outstrip those of a healthy human being. - When separated, the creatures lose this intelligence indicating some form of communal or central intelligence. Conclusion: the intelligence displayed is of such a level that we can only assume the communal mind is also rational. It is this conclusion that has formed the backbone of my recent endeavours. Though the infected may wander around like mindless for want of a better word zombies, they are no more stupid than a worker bee: automatons, yes, but far from stupid. In short I believe this central intelligence might somehow be communicated with. Bargained with. Communication, however, is most likely impossible once infected unless there was a way to subdue the infection long enough to contact the hive. There must be a way to find peace ------------------------Today, I communicated with the Tuurngait mind. I was correct it is intelligent beyond our wildest imagination. It told me everything. Everything I needed to know. You could not imagine it. I cannot accept it. God forgive us. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------18) Wilbur Frisk Efficiency Report - 5 pages -------------------------------------------------------------------------------Efficiency Assessment as sanctioned by Elf Carpenter, Elevated. Subject: Wilbur Frisk, Chief Overseer, Shelter Research Station, Greenland Report filed by Garett Quin February 20, 2000 My Assessment of Frisk begins today. I have taken up station as his Personal Assistant, and my report will run for 6 months. Since taking over control of the facility from Bren Stafferson in 1980, Frisk has turned up precious few results, and I intent to discover why. March 5, 2000

Having observed Frisk for two weeks, it seems my earlier assumptions may have been quite incorrect. He displays passion, efficiency, and above all commitment to the cause. These qualities are ably demonstrated by his recent discovery of what is being called the Tuurngait Tomb at the Primary Excavation. He has, of course, called for a full scale investigation. April 28 2000 A small scale epidemic has resulted from the opening of the tomb. This will be the perfect opportunity to fully observe Frisks ability to deal with high pressure scenarios. May 24 2000 The epidemic has developed beyond all control. There have been many casualties, and it is hard not to highlight Wilbur as the primary cause. June 13 2000 Frisk has lost all control. While a number of survivors have fled, and others have holed themselves up in the mess hall, Frisk has chosen to lock himself away in the kennels with the remaining dogs for protection. I have had no choice but to follow him here in order to complete my report. September (?) Ive lost sense of time, but Frisk seems almost to be enjoying himself. Hes become very close to the canines everyday he leaves the compound to forage for food in the main base, which he then feeds to the animals despite a number of them being infected. October (?) Frisk has developed some strange symptoms. Hes becoming sensitive to light the slightest light scares him away. Hes also displaying almost animalistic tendencies hes been digging out some of the walls, and hiding behind them. Further, I suspect he may be sneaking out of the facility at night, possibly even into the mines. Some of the dogs have turned up dead. Entry 8 I have been observing Frisk for some time now, and I believe I can conclude my report: Frisk displays outstanding efficiency, though I am now forced to call his judgement into doubt. Despite plenty of rations remaining I believe he may have begun eating his canines. Entry 9 When I woke this morning, there was a corpse lying beside me. I broke out the flashlight, fearful Frisk may have been savaged, or taken his own life. As I did, I could not help but see, at the corner of my vision, Frisk fleeing back into the shadows. The dead man was Dr Roberts, a scientist I was sure had escaped into the mines at the first signs of the epidemic. He had bite marks in his side, and looked to have been dragged in some way. In addition his tongue was missing. I will continue to observe Frisk, while taking additional security precautions. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------19) Antidote (Antidote.txt) - 4 Pages -------------------------------------------------------------------------------Tuurngait Virus Field Research Cure?

Amabel Swanson If youre reading this, I guess you wont have to put up with me anymore. I know you have tried your best so I suppose, thanks for giving me that at least. I thought Id knock something up to help you, just in case I wasnt around to do it myself. Sorry its a bit formal, force of habit I guess. ABSTRACT The purpose of this procedure is to formulate a cure that will stabilise the infection in the host, if possible, reject it entirely. Experiments have shown the injections covering as much as 5030f brain tissue can be reversed at an 80 success rate. In rare cases, the mixture will destroy both hosts and infection. Ah, the luxury of having no choice. EQUIPMENT Compound Mixer, Type ZX3 v2 (built from substance analyzer). CHEMICALS Acetone (chemical base) Chlorine (catalyst) Sulphur (delivery packet) Iodine (stabiliser) Nitrogen (pH balancing) Bromine (acidity regulator fairly important, without this its just be a big old rat poison)

Chemicals will automatically to be stored in the order listed above. The most important addition is Substance 65. Ive only had access to 12 & 67, which have proven to work with varying degrees of success. 65 has similar (though exaggerated) properties to 67, and was discovered just before the infection, so it should still be quarantined within the Chemical labs. METHOD All chemicals should be combined within the ZX3 v2, and stored according to listed order. At default settings the storing will be automatic and chemicals can be poured in the machine in any order. Substance is to be inserted into container slot. Its vital that the chemicals are mixed in the following order: Chlorine, Acetone, Iodine, Bromine, Nitrogen and finally Sulphur. (Note that due to an error during manufacturing, the lower button row got reversed numbering, making the rightmost start at 4 and increasing to the left.) After successful mixture, the host can be injected with up to 3mg, depending on the severity of infection. NOTES All chemicals and equipment should be stored in examination room. PREDICTED EFFECTS Since the viral aspect of the host mind is likely to be a weakened or inflicted portion of the original host identity, the final state of the host is unclear. I guess Ill never give up on the fairy tale ending. It is also likely that some remnant of the viral capabilities may remain telepathy, memory perhaps even the ability to communicate with the central nervous system.

Seriously, though, even if we didnt quite get for trying. It meant a lot to me.

our happily ever after, thanks

================================================================================ { } { 06 - Lasers } { } ================================================================================ There are two lasers that can be disabled during the game. The first is outside the mess hall and the second is in the storage room (residential area 4). I haven't yet worked out how to disable these, will include if I have the time to find out. The buttons toggle the other buttons depending on the colour of the button when pressed. For example, If you press button 7 and it is red then 7/3 will be toggled. 7 will become green and 3 will change from green to red or red to green (depending on the colour when 7 was pressed) The details below show which buttons are toggled: Mess Hall --------Starting Pattern 1) 2) 3) 4) RED RED RED RED 5) 6) 7) 8) GREEN GREEN GREEN GREEN
