Escape Memoirs Mini Stories Bunker Walkthrough Solution Guide

This walkthrough will help players enjoy the content of Escape Memoirs: Mini Stories > Bunker level. There will be multiple hints to the puzzles starting from tiny hints to completely solving the puzzle. I know there are hints in the game, but when I see an antenna on top of a box, I KNOW I have to send it a signal, but whats the first step!? (A picture of each figurine location is at the end of this Guide)

Game Start

Yup, as soon as you load up Bunker, you will realise that after finally escaping the Jail into the area called THE BUNKER, you have more work ahead of you.

 

“Bunker Collector” Achievement

The collection begins right in the first room. Just like Jail Break, when you ‘Esc’ into the Game Menu, you’ll see on the right there is a list that tells you how many “Collectibles” there are in each map section. If you want to collect as you progress through the game, I’ve added descriptions of where to find each one in their respective areas, but there are also screen shots of each at the end of the guide.

Staircase Area

As you progress through the Staircase Area, the first puzzle you find is the lock to the door (around the corner from the Starting position).

 

“Collectible #17”

Go up the stairs behind you, “Collectible #17” is at the top of the stairs, behind the railing on the right side of the stairs near the ground.

“Collectible #18”

This one is tucked beside some boxes on the top shelf, closest to the locked door.

Staircase Area Puzzle 1a & 1b > Open the door to the next area.

Puzzle 1a:

Find a way to open the cover for the door lock

  • Hint 1:Try to interact with everything in the room. When you can interact with something, you’re cursor will change from a dot, into a hollow circle. Left click to interact.
  • Hint 2:You can open the tool box on the bottom shelf.
  • Solution:Use the screwdriver in the tool box to remove the four screws and open the cover of the door lock.

Puzzle 1b:

Restore the power to the door lock.

  • Hint 1:Each of the ten buttons on the bottom correspond to one of the beakers on the top.
  • Hint 2:You have to connect each of the five pairs of breakers. The trick is you have to connect a full row (one pair) before you attempt to connect another, or the puzzle will reset.
  • Solution:If you assign letters to the left breakers, top to bottom, and assign numbers to the right breakers, top to bottom, the buttons, in order starting at top left and moving right are:
    E – A – 2 – 4 – 5
    D – C – B – 3 – 1
    So the sequence would be A&1, B&2, C&3, etc.

Entrance Area

Next, you will move into a large entrance area. There are three sections that I will refer to. I’ll name them the Compressor area (seen at the left of the picture above), the Valve area (seen almost centre in the picture above), and the Cage area (see on the right side of the picture above).

 

“Collectible #19”

“Collectible #19” is stuck up behind the loud speakers on the left wall as you step into the main room of Entrance Area.

“Collectible #20”

“Collectible #20” is being crushed beneath the large create in the Cage area, where the dolly is propped.

Your next objective is to open the pressurised door. To do this, you must solve the next puzzle.

 

Entrance Area Puzzle 1 & 2 > Pressurise the Air Lock

Puzzle 1:

Fix the Air Compressor

  • Hint 1:The compressor breaks when you press the button to start it. You have to find a replacement drive belt. Look around to find a container that you can open.
  • Hint 2:There is a cabinet in the Cage area, but it’s locked. There is no key to find, you’ll have to open it another way.
  • Solution:Use the screwdriver you found in the Staircase Area to remove the hinges on the cabinet door.

Puzzle 2a:

Fix the Compressor.

  • Solution:If you cannot install the new drive belt, don’t forget to start the compressor so the old belt falls off.

Puzzle 2b:

Use the Compressor to pressurise the Air Lock.

  • Hint 1:In the Valve Area, open the valves in a sequence that will allow air to flow from the compressor to the room.
  • Hint 2:There is only one path the air can take without leaking. The coloured pipes on each wall in the Valve Area match with some pipes in the other sections. Follow the pipes.
  • Solution: Pay attention to the order of Panel Sections. You should start with the middle one.

Corridors

This area is a collection of hallways that connect the 5 remaining rooms. Above is an in-game map of the area that is located in the Corridors. I will be referring to this map for some hints.

Since you need puzzle pieces in each room to unlock progressive rooms, I will use this section for the first room-unlock only. Each subsequent room will contain the unlocks for other rooms.

 

“Collectible #21”

As you move from the Air Lock clockwise through the Corridors, “Collectible #21 is under the grating on the pipes in the floor.

“Collectible #22”

Continuing clockwise, there is a stack of pipes along the same wall as the collapsed tunnel. “Collectible #22 is hidden in the top left pipe as you’re facing the collapsed tunnel.

“Collectible #23”

Along the back wall you will see a stack of pallets. “Collectible #23” is hidden on the middle brace of the leaning pallet. It’s easiest to see it from the left hand side of the stack.

“Collectible #24”

Outside the Generator Room (see map, if needed) there is a work light hanging off a railing. Below that, tucked in the corner of the grating, you can see “Collectible #24”

“Collectible #25”

Facing away from the Electrical Room, this “Collectible” is on the duct work overhead. it may be hidden behind the mounting fixture.

“Collectible #26”

In the back Corridor, where the collapsed tunnel is located, there is an alcove containing a stack of crates with a sheet over them. If you stand in the alcove and look back towards the Corridors, “Collectible #26” is sitting on top of the ducting along the celing.

    Now you have a battery. You will need this later.

Generator Room

The biggest room off the Corridors, this room contains 4 ‘Collectibles’ and has 4 different sections: The Generator; The Fuel Enricher; The Access Tunnel, and; Chemical Storage.

All the puzzles here are connected. You can’t finish certain ones before solving others.

This includes solving one puzzle not in this room.

Puzzle 3:

Create the fuel to Fuel the generator

  • Hint 1:There are four (4) places you can get info for how to mix the fuel.
  • Hint 2:There’s a note on the wall of Chemical Storage. There’s a note on the side of the Generator Fuel Tank. The Start-up sequence note has a small piece of information. One of the containers also has a note on it.
  • Hint 3:The note on the side of the generator says “Cetane Enriched Fuel Only.” The Start-up note is titled “Grynghus Diesel Generator Start Up Sequence.” The note on the container says “Do not enrich ever.” The note in Chemical Storage outlines what chemicals react poorly to each other. Look at all the available fuels and enriching materials, and narrow them down by the fuels available to choose the two containers that will work together.
  • Solution:Use Diesel III and L3-Cetane in the enricher. You have to place the empty bottle inside, then pour the diesel into one tube and the cetane into the other.

Puzzle 4:

Turn on power to the Enricher

  • Hint 1:Use the electrical box in the Electrical Room to move the power to the Generator Room’s breaker box.
  • Hint 2:Use the schematic map in the Corridors to identify different breaker boxes. Check these boxes to see how their wires are set up.
