Please help me with two of the "horror" segments
I'm stuck with two different parts of the DLC.

The first is when I'm trying to get to the lodge with the strange music. I follow the alien with the lantern through the rock tunnel and into the lodge. I have no idea what I'm supposed to do next. If I step into the room I am ambushed. How do I pass through the fire?

The second is a similar situation, in the big lodge in which you have to blow out the lights and then go back in while its dark, and there are two? (I think at least two) aliens prowling around the projection room. I can't figure out how to get past them.

Minimal spoilers please, I'd really appreciate just plain tips for these specific areas. Thanks!

The first one is a matter of timing like other things in the game. I got stuck there too. For the second I really don't know what is supposed to give you the clue, it doesn't make sense to me.

The only way to do the rest is by avoiding the owls. If you illuminate them from afar you will see that they approach very slowly and that gives time to surround them. The truth is that this ruined the end of the content for me.

Yeah, the lodge with music is just a matter of timing. Find out, when the house is empty to go in.

Big Lodge is a bit tricky. Either trick the guards, or find "another" way to the right side of house.

The hard part about the canyon is that the bridge inside the house that goes straight to the basement disappears when you turn out the lights, forcing you to go through the courtyard and lounge where avoiding the numerous patrolling owls is extremely difficult to turn the bridge lights back on. Once you are past that bridge it's very easy to finish the area. And there is a way to make that trivially easy to accomplish, without having to know anything that's intended to be hidden.

For the big lodge at Endless Canyon, there is an important game mechanic you have probably not discovered through experimentation yet.

Gentle nudge: Have you thoroughly considered all the tools at your disposal?

Hint: The only tool you have with you is that artifact. Try playing around with it. Is there anything else you can do with the artifact that you haven't done before?

Outright spoiler: Try setting down the artifact and walking away from it.

The fundamental problem is not how to get around the guards but to keep away from them entirely. You should now have a whole new set of information to help you figure that out.

The above hint is a massive spoiler and is absolutely not intended to be known by the player at that point in time. I have no idea why this person though this would be helpful. You can complete the canyon area without having to encounter any guards except one right at the end (who is not actually between you and your goal) without having to resort to this, and all it takes is smart planning of your actions in the area.

I freely admit, I'm a little hazy on the "intended" order based on when the slide reels give information. I think I discovered it through experimentation while trying to solve a different puzzle. Hazard of open-world games, right? And if this DLC is showing us anything, it's that different players have different styles of approaching the tasks. I personally approached it like a puzzle, not a stealth section, and was perfectly content with my non-stealthy solution. YMMV, I guess.
