How To Get The Lighter In Amnesia: The Bunker

The Lighter is found in Mission Storage along with many other key items that can be collected in Amnesia: The Bunker like the Lighter and Wrench. Just like these two items, the Gas Mask is in a locker that requires a 4-digit code to open. The locker with the Lighter is labeled with the name “A. GIRAUD.” To get the code for the locker, players will need to find Guraud’s dog tag and read the number written on the back.

There are a total of 20 Dog Tags and while they will always spawn in the same locations. Which person the tags belong to is randomized every playthrough (except for specific story-significant tags) along with their codes. Laval is one of these random names, able to spawn on just about any tag across the bunker. Below is a full map of all the dog tag locations.

In my playthroughs of the game, the Giraud dog tag has been found at numbers 7 and 17. However, it can be found at just about any of the red dots shown on the map above. Once the tag is found, read the code written on the back and go back to Mission Storage.

Now that the code is known, go up to Giraud’s locker and enter the number into the lock. Open the locker and you will be able to pick up the Lighter. This item can be used as a small light source when in total darkness. Its primary use is for lighting flammable things fuel puddles as well as light certain items on fire like Petrol Bombs and Torches. The Light must be in the player’s inventory in order to ignite these items. When the Lighter is picked up for the first time, the Flint & Steel Achievement and Trophy will be unlocked!
