To clear the film school, repair the RCA circuit, finish Ivan's camera scene, and unlock Floor -1 with the black candle. The Tenebris Somnia film school is on Floor 0, and you get there by placing the lit white candle in the elevator. The route takes you through the school's upper rooms before returning to the building with Débora film can two and opening the hanging skull door.
How do you enter the ground floor film school?
Place the lit white candle in the elevator, select Floor 0, and go through the glass door on the left to enter the film school. If you still need the candle, return to the bedroom in Ivan's apartment; it is in the bedside cabinet on the left.
Start with the blue door into the screenwriting classroom. Save here and take the photographic paper from the table.
Next, enter the green door into the camera practice classroom. Take the shotgun from the seated figure and read Ivan's script on the floor. His scene gives you the order of events: the wife's spirit breaks the glass, a crow finds poppies, and their scent reaches the grieving man.
Inspect the camera. Its viewfinder is broken, so you need an RCA cable to connect it to the TV. Leave the red hallway door alone for now; the video library is locked from inside.
How do you solve the RCA cable green light puzzle?
Repair the cut cable in the equipment storage room, then turn off the green light to release the wooden box containing the RCA cable.
Reach the storage room through the school's stairwell, beyond the door at the top of the entrance area. Go up to the school's Floor 1. The red door leads to the photo developing room, where you can take the white bulb from the lamp at the lower left. The room goes dark when you remove it, so head back out. Continue left past the spike trap to the green door into equipment storage.
- Activate the lower-left switch. The white cable stays electrified, the blue cable pulses, and the grille in front of the right switch rises.
- Wait until the grille is fully raised. Use the lower-left switch again to cut power to the white cable.
- Quickly reach the right switch before the grille drops. Cross the blue cable during a gap in its current, then activate the switch to open the cabinet at the back.
- Take the Piece of Cable from the cabinet. Stand beside the upper-left switch and use it to repair the cut cable, then activate that switch.
Return to the lower-left switch and use it again to turn off the green light. The wired figure collapses, leaving the wooden box; inspect it for the RCA cable.
Keeping every part activated is the trap in this puzzle. The green light must go off at the end. Watch the blue cable's pulses while crossing; rushing through live current costs health.
How do you solve Ivan's camera class crow puzzle?
Connect the RCA cable to the camera, fill the white outline, break the glass in the matching scene, and cycle the camera until the crow sequence gives you the copper seed.
- Return to the green classroom door on Floor 0 and use the RCA cable beside the camera.
- Interact with the camera's three-position switch until a white outline appears on the TV. Stand in the matching place on the set until the outline fills white.
- Switch to the scene with the glass. Walk to its position on the set and break it with a melee weapon. Match the active TV scene before swinging.
- Cycle through the scenes for the crow on the tree. Interact at its position to collect the copper seed.
Where do you grow the copper seed and get the copper key?
Use the copper seed at the green vase at the far end of the school's Floor 1 hallway to obtain copper poppy flowers, then bring them back to Ivan's camera scene.
The vase is beside the blue door to the film history classroom, beyond another set of spikes. Stand close to it and use the seed from your inventory.
Return to the camera practice classroom and cycle the camera until the woman is kneeling with her hands extended for a bouquet. Walk to that position and use the copper poppy flowers. This completes the part of Ivan's script where the man smells the flowers and senses his wife's presence.
Keep switching scenes until a green key appears on the chair. Pick it up to obtain the copper key. Then select the scene showing the green door, stand beside that door, and use the key to enter the dark room.
Inside, head north and interact to turn on a TV. Move left to turn on more screens, but be ready for the Bloater ambush as the room becomes visible. Defeat it and switch on the remaining TV. Julia records the arranged colors in the Old Book. Take the black candle from the table, then exit south through the red door back to the Floor 0 hallway.
What is the black candle elevator button order?
Light and place the black candle in the elevator, then select floors in the color order recorded in your Old Book to unlock Floor -1.
The elevator interior changes color with the floor. Translate each color in your recorded sequence using these matches:
| Color | Floor button |
|---|---|
| White | 0 |
| Red | 1 |
| Green | 2 |
| Blue | 3 |
For a TV sequence of red, green, white, blue, then black, select 1 → 2 → 0 → 3. Follow your Old Book's order if its colors differ. After the color sequence, -1 becomes available on the elevator panel; select it to descend.
Where is Débora film can two beside young Ivan?
Débora film can two is on the floor beside young Ivan in the room at the end of Floor -1.
To reach him, move east along the basement passage, break the glass walls with a melee weapon, and move the blocks out of your way. Enter the door at the far end and collect the canister. Avoid touching the mercury puddle in Ivan's room.
Return to the elevator. It takes you back to Floor 0 automatically, where the enemy inside comes alive and attacks. Defeat it before continuing to the projector room on the building's Floor 1. For the theater route, follow the first floor walkthrough.
How do you open Débora's hanging skull door?
Play Canister 2 in the projector room, collect the Cow Skull from the newly opened theater chest, and hang it on the hooked door beyond the dining room film set.
- Use the film canister in the Floor 1 projector room and select Canister 2 to play the second part of Débora. Afterward, Julia tells you that a box beside the movie screen has opened.
- Go down into the movie theater and open the second chest to get the Cow Skull.
- Return to the stairwell beyond the dining room film set on Floor 1. Take the door above the first flight of stairs.
- Stand beside the hooked door and use the Cow Skull to unlock it.
You now have the second film canister and access through the skull door. Entering triggers a live-action scene and the next boss encounter; continue with the Agonal Stone walkthrough.
