After awakening at the start of Amnesia: The Bunker, it is clear something really bad has happened as just about all of Henri Clement’s fellow soldiers have been torn apart by some monster, with the last surviving member being ripped away in front of him after giving his pistol to Henri. The first area that is explorable is known as the Central Bunker with 4 of the other locations being completed cut off due to an Emergency Lockdown being in effect. Lifting this lockdown is the first real goal in the game and takes some exploring and some ingenuity to get done. This guide will explain how to lift the Emergency Lockdown in Amnesia: The Bunker.
How To Lift The Emergency Lockdown In Amnesia: The Bunker
The Emergency Lockdown is the security system that locks off all of the other areas outside of the Central Bunker and Officer Quarters that can only be lifted by turning a wheel found just outside the Mission Storage room. The wheel that is in the Emergency Lockdown control is very weak and will break when interacted with. This means that players will need to find a replacement wheel in order to lift the lockdown.
This extra wheel for the Emergency Lockdown is found in the locker owned by “J. Delisle” found in the Mission Storage room right across from the controls. Just like all of the lockers require players to find the dog tag of the soldier that corresponds with the name on the locker. The codes of all of the lockers are randomized in every playthrough with some of the dog tags even being randomized, but story-important lockers/dog tags will spawn in the same location every campaign. This is one of the dog tags that will not change between playthroughs the code will be different in every game.
To find this dog tag, head into the Officer Quarters area and find the Lounge. This will be the third door on the left from the entrance of the hallway that connects to Central Bunker. Once in the lounge, go to the back right corner of the room to find an open vent covered by some barrels. Move everything that is blocking this path and go through the opening. Pry the wooden boards off the opening to gain access to Delisle’s room.
Once in the room, players will find the body of Delisle right next to the entrance. Pick up the dog tag on the body and spin it around to find the code to his locker written on the back.
Now that the code is known, go back to the Delisle locker in Mission Storage and enter the code to unlock the door, and get the new wheel. Equip the wheel and go to the Emergency Lockdown control and hold the aim button then the interact button when prompted to place the wheel in the place of the broken wheel. Spin the wheel until the Emergency Lockdown doors open. All other areas in the bunker will now be available to explore and the Gave the All Clear Achievement and Trophy will be unlocked!
