Whether you are stuck on the combination locks or struggling to craft Dr. Saunders' formula, we have the answers you need to progress.
Getting Started: Mechanics and the Pendulum
Before diving into the dark secrets of Godstone, you must master Alan's toolkit. Movement is standard, but survival often depends on the Shift key to sprint and the Space bar to look behind you while running—a vital move when being chased by spirits.
The heart of the game is the Pendulum. It features several supernatural abilities that unlock as you progress:
| Ability | Function | How to Use |
|---|---|---|
| Vervisio | Reveals hidden objects, blood, and drawings. | Hold Left Click to raise the pendulum. |
| Tempest Fugit | Manipulates time to repair objects or see the past. | Hold and use A/D to rewind or fast-forward. |
💡 Tip: Always keep your pendulum active when entering a new room. Many essential items, like the bloody belt or hidden drawings, are invisible to the naked eye.
The Farmhouse: Telsa’s Curse
After crossing the gorge and following the mysterious bird, you will find a cave containing a flashlight and the farmhouse keys. Once inside the farmhouse, you are locked in and must investigate the tragic history of the Parker family.
Finding the Basement Name
To enter the basement, you must identify the woman of the house. Follow the blood trail to the upstairs bathroom. Use the Thread and Hook found in the kitchen to fish a ring out of the sink. The ring reveals the names Joseph and Telsa.
Puzzle Solutions: Farmhouse & Barn
| Puzzle | Location | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Basement Door | Farmhouse Kitchen | T-E-L-S-A |
| Barn Lever Lock | Barn Loft | 6-1-9-4-4 |
| Barn Exit | Barn Ground Floor | Use the lever to move the cart. |
Surviving the Cornfield
Once you exit the basement, Telsa’s spectre will hunt you in the cornfield. Use your pendulum to track her position through the stalks. Don't stop moving; head toward the barn and use the shears (sharpened on the grindstone) to cut down Joseph's body to retrieve the final wedding band needed for the barn combination.
Entering Godstone Town
After escaping the farm, you will reach the outskirts of Godstone. The path is blocked by a landslide, forcing you through a series of narrow passages. You will encounter signs of animal sacrifices and ritualistic soot.
- The Pitchfork: Use the pitchfork found near the dead horse to clear the path through the fence.
- The Sacrifice: Inspect the animal carcasses to find the cult's symbol, which will be recorded in your diary.
- The Hospital Road: Follow the road past the 1950s-era cars to reach the Godstone Memorial Hospital.
Godstone Memorial Hospital: Dr. Saunders’ Formula
The hospital is the most complex section of the early game. You will meet the ghost of Dr. Saunders, who tasks you with recreating his "Secret Formula" to help a girl named Whitney.
Unlocking Tempest Fugit
In the consulting room, you will find a broken hourglass. Use your pendulum to activate Tempest Fugit. This allows you to rewind time, repairing the elevator and other broken objects throughout the ward.
Gathering the Ingredients
You need three specific items to create the formula:
- Freshly Deceased Tissue: Found by rewinding time on a corpse in the therapy room.
- Formalin Serum: Located in the bath therapy room. You must first use the Mortuary Makeup Kit on a corpse to satisfy Whitney’s "clown" obsession, which triggers the item's appearance.
- Belladona Extract: Found in the pharmacy. You must forge Dr. Saunders' signature on a prescription using the blackboard eraser.
Hospital Combination Lock: To exit the kitchen area and reach the back wards, you need a 5-digit code. The numbers are hidden around the environment:
- Drawer: 13
- Vending Machine: 72
- Table: 8
- Final Code: 13728
⚠️ Warning: Whitney and Oliver roam the hallways. Whitney moves quickly in her wheelchair, while Oliver is more aggressive. Hide in rooms or use the "Space" look-back feature to time your sprints.
Crafting the Formula and the Great Escape
Once you have all ingredients, return to the nursing station. You must mix them in the correct proportions based on the blackboard notes:
- Belladona: 100ml
- Formalin: 250ml (Fill until the beaker reaches 350ml total)
- Tissue: Add last to complete the mixture.
After talking to Saunders again, he will give you his car keys. You must retrieve "Whitney’s Nails" from the trunk of his car in the parking lot. This triggers a high-speed chase sequence where a massive, spine-cracking monster pursues your vehicle.

FAQ
Q: How do I find the hidden drawings for the "The Occultist full walkthrough" completion?
A: You must use the Vervisio ability of your pendulum. These drawings are often located on walls in children's play areas, inside the cave, and in the hospital wards. There are 15 main collectibles to find throughout Godstone.
Q: What should I do if the ghost in the cornfield catches me?
A: If Telsa catches you, you will take damage. You can check your health by pressing V to look at your left hand. If your hand is heavily scarred or bleeding, you are near death. Hide in the tall corn and wait for her to pass before sprinting to the barn.
Q: Where is the screwdriver or hammer in the farmhouse?
A: The hammer is located in the hallway upstairs, often near the locked bedroom doors. You need it to break the wooden slats covering the vent, allowing you to crawl into Whitney’s room.
Q: How do I solve the makeup puzzle in the hospital?
A: You need the Mortuary Makeup Kit. Use the red lipstick on the corpse's nose and mouth, and the blue eyeshadow around the eyes. If it doesn't trigger, ensure you have filled in the "clown nose" area completely until Alan makes a comment about it being finished.**
