locked elevator in theta, help...

[philosophe à vendre]

hello,

after the ark simulaion i need to go to an elevator whereas a beast is lurking in the corridors ..:(

i have found a key card, updated it in the bureau but when i go to the elevator and try to shut the little door, it says something is missing and i cannot seem to find it..

every thing is dark and the monster seems to know where i am so it is difficult do explore fully..

what do i do please? :(

anybody? :( i have explored every rooms but i cannot find what is missing to go to the elevator..............

edit : all right i found it : you need to move two levers insite the box where you put the card...........................................:(((

You put the keycard into the slot and then you have to pull down two little latches to hold it in place. then you can close the access door and press the button.

When you do successfully press the button, I suggest you get inside and select a lower level very quickly. No real reason, it would just be a very good idea.

I was stuck in the same spot for a minute or two. Funnily enough I ran from the office to the elevator, jammed the card in and to my surprise it didn't work. I was caught obviously since I ran past the monster that wouldn't leave the door and was pretty much camping outside the only exit.

Then I woke up next to the elevator with the monster still around the corner. I listened to what Simon said a few times but couldn't move much to see what was wrong. The monster just walked up to me and I stood still. It was literally infront of me and did nothing. After a while it just turns around and walks away and repeats this.

What you need to do is flip 2 switches inside the box that go green, close it and it will open then. Just another one of those moments you could figure out easily if only a monster wasn't so eager to bum rush you, forcing you to cover in the corner.

Best of luck with the rest of the game.

The monster type found in that area is outside of set moments only attracted to sound. I've stood semi near it and flashed my flashlight at it and it didn't notice. Open a door though and it comes a running.

I think, but I'm not quite certain, that monsters can hear when you turn your flashlight on and off. I'd also swear that the proxies could hear it flickering when they were close - I didn't get caught as easily when mine was off.

Well when I was flicking it on and off at it, I was far enough away that I could be looking directly at it without my vision going completely crazy.

This had me for a lil while too^
As I fiddled with the chip box, I heard the monster coming my way and with no way out, I just got in the corner on the left with a bit of clutter there to partially hide me and I just faced away till it was gone and I could investigate further..
I honestly didnt think my "hiding spot" would ever work. I was fully expecting to die.

Well if you take notice of all the info you have gathered while playing you will realise that the monster here is the guy who stayed behind to play over 1000 games of chess and went mad after a while and ingested a ton of structure gel. Then requested to finally be transferred, killing a few people and injecting them with the gel turning them into the other proxy monsters eventually. He was then in a comatose state after he was transported to theta where he was placed in the infirmary in that area you were stuck in ( see the gooey infirmary table) where he now roams as a sort of mini main baddy.

To the actual point I am trying to make is however, the reason he cant see you is through info you pick up during the game you find out he hallucinates some stuff and believes removing his eyes would help him some how. ( see wikia page for more elaboration though)

Yes I've since put that together but I didn't know that at the time.
