To successfully navigate the candle puzzle in DreadOut: Act 2, players are advised to utilize the SLR camera. Switching between the SLR camera and Linda’s phone is straightforward—simply press the designated input for equipment swapping. This input can be easily pinpointed by accessing the inventory menu, selecting the SLR camera under the equipment tab, and referring to its description for guidance.
Solution for DreadOut: Act 2 Candle Puzzle
Players can solve the intricate candle puzzle by focusing on three blue candles located behind a dancing figure. This process involves several steps, detailed below:
Step 1: Light Candle #1
To ignite the first candle, players should navigate through an opening in the left fence of the grotto. Proceed to a small alcove beyond the gate, then turn to face it. From this vantage point, observe a snake coiled on a boulder, another figure with crossed arms near the fence, and two wings protruding from it.
The objective is to capture a photograph showing the snake entwined around the figure with the wings extending from it. The angle displayed in the image above should be replicated, and upon taking a successful photo, a detailed image will flash on the screen as confirmation.
Next, turn your attention to the small statue on the right. You will notice the candle near it is lit. Approach this candle and take a photograph with the SLR camera to extinguish it, thus illuminating the first candle in the puzzle.
Step 2: Light Candle #2
Proceed to the right side of the grotto, where players will discover a small path leading into another alcove. Here, a pile of rocks lies near a tree at the center, with a Keris embedded in the stones. Players can remove it by using the interact input.
After extracting the Keris, approach the nearby statue and ready the SLR camera. To extinguish this newly-illuminated candle, photograph it, thereby triggering the second candle in the puzzle to light.
Step 3: Light Candle #3
Navigate to the back-right corner of the grotto, where players will encounter a black cat and some green ferns obstructing the path. To clear the ferns, stand beside them and use the SLR camera’s flash.
To activate the flash, press the flash input while Linda holds the SLR—not while viewing through the camera. This input can be identified via the inventory menu, similar to the previous steps.
Once the ferns are cleared, continue along the pathway to a dead end formed by toppled trees. Players will find a glowing candle in the alcove beyond these obstacles. Equip the SLR camera, zoom in on the candle, and capture the photo to extinguish it, thereby illuminating the third candle in the puzzle.
To learn how to use the zoom function, refer to the inventory menu as done previously.
Final Step: Photograph the Three Candle Puzzle
With all three candles now lit, players should return to the puzzle location. The grotto will be dark, so feel free to use the SLR’s flash for illumination. Position yourself in front of the three candles, take out the SLR, and capture a photograph. This shot should extinguish all candles and reveal a pathway behind them. If nothing occurs, ensure your angle matches the provided image for success.
