Amnesia: The Bunker is filled to the brim with closed-off sections, locked doors, and traps. In order to collect everything players need to escape this death bunker, they will need to figure out how to get through a number of doors. Some of the doors are easier to get through than others, but each of them can be dealt with in order to open up new shortcuts or whole new locations inaccessible before. Players just need to know what to look for to help them get through each kind.
Metal Doors with Locks in Amnesia: The Bunker
The first kind of locked door players of this immersive horror game will come across is a door with a padlock at the very beginning of the game. This door is metal, so it can't be broken; therefore, players will need to use something else in their inventory to knock it down.
The best way to get through these types of barriers is to shoot the lock with the revolver; it may seem like a waste of bullets, but it's the only way to get through to the next part of the game.
Breaking Down Wooden Doors in Amnesia: The Bunker
Wooden doors are probably the easiest of all doors to break down. No matter how thick the wood is in the doorway, players can do any number of things to break it apart or unlock it.
- Walk around the locked door. This is best for the two locked doors into the barracks; there are unlocked doors on the other side of the barracks that players won't have to waste resources to get into. This is good because it avoids one of the biggest mistakes in Amnesia: The Bunker: making too much noise.
- Break down the door with a heavy object. Like in the tutorial of Amnesia: The Bunker, players can pick up bricks and toss them at wooden objects to break them. Usually, this takes two hits, but it also causes enough noise that the monster may come to investigate.
- Break down the door with a grenade.
- Break down the door with the shotgun. The shotgun in Amnesia: The Bunker can be found in the Roman section past the Tunnels or inside one of the lockers in Mission Storage.
- Trick the monster into breaking down the door instead. This is great if players don't want to waste time or resources doing it themselves. Just make sure Henri has an escape plan to avoid dying to this creepy horror game character.
Trapped Doors in the Bunker
There are many trapped doors inside the bunker, each marked with a little red X on the frame somewhere. Henri can get injured or can create a lot of noise opening these. However, just pushing the door open and diving out of the way of the trap is absolutely an option. Another way to un-trap a door is to use the bolt cutters in Amnesia: the Bunker to snip the wires.
Amnesia: The Bunker's Chained Doors
There are several doors in the Bunker that are locked with chains. These can only be broken into by using bolt cutters. Thankfully, this is a pretty quiet way to get inside these doors, so players won't have to worry too much about being heard if they get inside a door this way.
Doors in Amnesia: The Bunker Locked with Keys
There are a total of two doors locked with keys during the whole playtime of Amnesia: the Bunker. The first one is the Pillbox, and the second is the Communications room.
- The Pillbox key appears to always be in the confessional inside the Chapel. Players can also break into the Pillbox without the key; just break down the wooden door to the left of the Pillbox's door, then break down the wooden wall in between the two rooms.
- The Communications key can appear in several locations, but all are inside the barracks on one of the bunk beds in this short horror game.
Amnesia: The Bunker is available for PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
