Immure Part 1 walkthrough

This is a walkthrough for part 1 of Immure released May 8, 2019.

"New Game"/"Nightmare"
Selecting "New Game" starts Will in this stage of the game, later identified in the journal as "Nightmare."
 * The Parlor
 * The player gains control of Will at the bottom of the steps of the Parlor.
 * Go to the end table with the minotaur face pattern past the couch to the left.
 * Open the drawer and take the doorknob
 * Turn around and head left past the stairs to the door on the right.
 * Select the option to "Enter Hall to Grace."
 * The inventory window will appear; select the doorknob to continue.
 * Select the option to "Enter Hall to Grace" again.


 * Hall to Grace
 * Continue to the right past the two painted doors.
 * Optionally examine them along the way for brief musings by Will.
 * After Will's moment of disorientation, continue right past the next painted door.
 * Keep going right into the Worship Chamber.


 * Worship Chamber
 * Proceed right to the dark rock floating in the light from the stained window.


 * First unnamed hallway, part 1
 * In this new hallway, summon the Shining Trapezohedron as instructed.
 * When instructed to "generate a Pulse", hover the Trapezohedron by the span at the top of the two nearby pillars.
 * Generate the pulse to reveal secret glowing golden glyphs and patterns.
 * Head to the wall to the left and generate a pulse there to reveal a readable secret in glowing white text.
 * A way to the right has been revealed, so turn back to walk to a recessed section of wall just before a crate on the floor.
 * Generate a Trapezohedron pulse above this recessed section for another readable secret.
 * Continue right to the wall at the end, optionally examining the locked door and noting the coffins Will can hide in along the way.
 * There is no need to hide just yet...
 * Reaching the far end of the hallway opens a path back to the left past the open area.
 * There is another secret above the coffin here.
 * Before entering the new area to left, note that immediately on entering it, Will will hear the scream of a hostile creature.
 * Will needs to get to the hallway left of the creature. There are two available methods to safely move around the creature:
 * Just hide in the one of the coffins until the creature passes by and is distant, then unhide and continue left.
 * After the creature's scream, the recessed area becomes a door that provides two-way instant travel between it and a matching door on the left. Simply use the right door when the creature is in the open area.
 * Get safely to the left of the creature by either method and continue further left, and take the Strange Key floating above a dresser.
 * Will needs to make it back to the door with the large keyhole on the right.
 * The same two tactics above can be used to get back to the right.
 * When it's safe, use the Strange Key to unlock the door.


 * First unnamed hallway, part 2
 * Will appears on the right side of the same hallway, though with many changes:
 * The locked door is now entirely missing.
 * The previously revealed secrets are missing, except for the first, which has changed.
 * The lighting and writing on the walls has changed.
 * The hostile creature is now bound up in the center of the open area by some kind of tendrils.
 * Continue to the left to the first door.
 * Going through the door will bypass the creature ahead, whom Will should not get close to.
 * But this time, the left door disappears upon emerging from it.
 * There is a secret above the recessed wall that replaces the door.
 * Continue left a couple steps to trigger a brief dialogue with the Trapezohedron.
 * Pulse the Trapezohedron near the section of wall with exposed bricks to reveal a glyph.
 * Charge the Trapezohedron as instructed.
 * Optionally examine the dagger further left. It can't be acquired just yet.
 * Proceed right to the creature while staying out of reach.
 * Stun the creature using a blast from the Trapezehedron as instructed and proceed past while it's stunned.
 * Bloody handprints may appear heading past Will soon, or after Will stuns the creature.
 * Note that the creature will be free again after the stun effect wears off.
 * It's now possible to exit through a haze to the right, so do so.
 * Will reemerges on the left side of the hallway, the end of which is now a hazy exit leading back to the right side.
 * But continue right to the now accessible Unearthly Dagger and pick it up.
 * Note that the creature is still here, wandering back and forth, so it's best not to dawdle on the following steps.
 * Charge the Trapezohedron in the Glyph.
 * Approach and stun the creature with the Trapezohedron before it reaches Will, and then quickly kill the stunned creature with the dagger.
 * The pulse takes a moment to activate, so it may be best to either walk away while using the pulse or beginning to use it just before the creature comes into view.

"Mansion"
Upon reaching this point, it's possible to resume here by selecting "Play" and then "Mansion" in the main menu.
 * The Parlor
 * Will wakes up back in the Parlor, now trashed, with a Metallic Shard mysteriously acquired and the dagger now missing.
 * Once again, Will needs to retrieve the doorknob from the end table at the left and use it to open the door on the right.


 * West Hallway
 * Proceed right a short way until a metallic door is visible, unlocking the Doorways clue.
 * The door is locked, so continue right to a portion of the wall with exposed brick.
 * Use a pulse near the exposed brick to reveal a glyph for charging the Trapezohedron and a secret just to the right.
 * Charge the Trapezohedron and continue right.
 * The next door is also locked, so exit right.


 * Worship Chamber
 * Just continue right and exit right.


 * Bridge
 * Walk right until a triangular pedestal emerges from the floor in front of Will.
 * Insert the Metallic Shard into the pedestal to trigger a cutscene.
 * Will will have vision where he will arrive in an familiar place and see an apparition of his wife, Danielle.


 * East Hallway
 * Use a Trapezohedron pulse right by the archway to reveal a secret on the nearby wall.
 * Continue right past the wooden door.
 * Use a Trapezohedron pulse above the door with the pulsing purple eyes to reveal a secret.
 * If the pulse didn't already unlock the door, another pulse closer to the purple eyes should do so.
 * Enter the Safe Room.


 * Safe Room
 * After a brief dialogue, sit in the chair across from the Safe Room Guy.
 * There are now four options. From right to left, they are:
 * "Get up," which simply causes Will to get up and leave this menu.
 * "Error," which causes Will to get up and leave the menu while also toggle a static effect on and off.
 * "Save game," which doesn't work in the demo, but it does trigger a dialogue.
 * "Talk" to talk to the Safe Room Guy.
 * Select "talk" to resume the conversation.
 * Take the Key the Safe Room Guy gives you.
 * Exit stage left or stage right. It doesn't matter which.


 * East Hallway
 * Proceed right to exit right.


 * Gallery Room
 * Continue to the stairs and descend.


 * Downstairs Hallway
 * There is a secret to reveal on the side of the stairs.
 * Another secret is to the right above the metal door with the green light.
 * Continue right past the next door to the handgun.
 * After Will takes the handgun, continue to the next door.
 * There is a secret above this door and to the right.
 * Note that continuing right into the darkness simply brings you back to the bottom of the stairs.
 * Use the Key to unlock this white door.
 * Go through the door. Be warned the door on the other side will be locked.

 * As the door is locked, continue right and pick up the Radio.
 * Combine the Batteries with the Radio, but there is no need to turn on the radio yet.
 * Enter Stairwell East.


 * Stairwell East
 * Go downstairs to the left.
 * Move the beams out of the way.

 * The smoke in the basement is fatal after a short time.


 * Hallway on Floor A
 * Go back to Stairwell West.

 * Hallway on Floor B
 * Be advised that a hostile fireman will begin patrolling after proceeding right past the axe.
 * He will be armed with that axe.
 * He will begin patrolling throughout the building.
 * The Radio, when turned on, serves a lure for the Fireman, which can be useful in certain ways:
 * Will can turn it on and then hide. This automatically turns off the radio, but the Fireman will still come, search for a short while, and then leave, often on the opposite side of Will.
 * A riskier approach is to turn it on briefly and then immediately leave the location, which is best done only when the Fireman's general location is known.
 * Dying only results in Will waking up on the sofa in the Lobby or in the Safe Room.
 * Continue right past Apt B4 when it's safe to do so, hiding in the broken wall if necessary.
 * Pulse the Trapezohedron near the exposed brick with the hole. Charging the Trapezohedron in the now revealed glyph is recommended.
