Default inner cradle problem

I have desperately searched for this blood bottle and no way. Can anyone tell me where it is. Also, I wish to ask how one can access the nursery or it is really closed as what happened to me.

And how you can kill the undead. Is it only the holy water or there is something else.

Thanks in advance.

Default what a mess!!!!????

I solve the issue of the blood bottle by myself but after I found that eidos make my second mistake. First in the object, it says that you have to search the Storm cellar to find this blood bottle although it is completely away from that. I found it in the basement.

Now my problem is that I already entered the inner cradle before I got the blood bottle and that means I searched the white hall and every inch in that....level, so can someone tells me is that will affect my status now or I can continue my level revisited again (OR I have to restart that messy level).

Third, the second mistake I found in the game until now is when it say (I don't remember the name of the level but it is the level with the widow) you have a secret button in study and on the map the study is upstarirs (that can be decluded from the object and the notes) and at last I found the bottom downstairs.


WHY?? I spend more time than I can afford to play this game.

Just one note, basement and cellar are the same thing. So there's no mistake of the location you've been told you would find it.

Don't think you'll have to restart the mission just because you wen't into the inner section early.

As for the study thing, the reasons you expose for assuming that it was upstairs rather than down are not really that valid. After all there usually isn't a bed in a study, but rather some tables and books.

Thank you MisterT for your explanation although it seems to me very strange to understand that tthe name storm cellar and the basement are exactlly the same meanings in English. Also, I just wisht to exaplain further what I mean by the study. In that level the note says that the the door is located in the north gallery directly below the master bedroom and in the same time the object says that the button is located in the study. then on the map, the study is located in the same floor where the master bedroom. Then the final conclusion now is that the study (where the button is) is located in the same floor of the master bedroom and then you have to go downstarirs to find the opened secret door in the north gallery room which is located directly downstaris of the master bedroom.

Sorry for this longetivity and by the way I still want someone to answer my question whish is is their any other weapon to kill the undead or it is only the holy water.

Last thing, I found myself will restart that level (but I think I will do it next month) because I entered the inner cradle before getting the blood bottle and I get every loot there and so I cannot complete the level yet.

Thank you.

the "undead" in this game can be killed by flashbombs, mines, firearrows, and holy water

There are no "ghosts" which are not affected by physical weapons, but the zombies, and other "undead" have a physical presence, so the above will destroy them.

As for the study and the secret room, there is no reason for them to be on the same floor. If you recall, the first mission had you throw a switch two floors and some distance away in order to open the vault you wanted to enter.

No different really than a TV remote control activating a set across a room or in another room. The signal may be electronic, in the above, but the principle is the same.

you can't kill them, they jump up again when you pass them. the best way to deal with them is to lure some of them in a room and then burn them with fire arrows and holy water. I killed 5 of them in one minute

Thank you theBlackman and The_Insane for your replay. It is really helpful and I'm really regretted for not using the fire arrows.

I have finished this level, also finished the Gamall's Lair and now I'm wondering around in the Audile to find a way to enter the museum.

About the secret room and the study, thanks theBlackman for your replay.

Best wishes.

That's the English language for you. We like to have lots of different names for the same things. We also like to use opposite adjectives so that they mean the same thing.
