* This secret's name and description implies that it was meant to be the non-secret item Guard Duty Schedule. This is likely an error.

I don't care if he is 'Harrison Lee, the famous horror fictio* [sic] *writer' you only work for him, you don't have to go on vacation with him too.*

*Can we spend some time just the two of us?*

ABONS OF COLORADO

Abons live in Colorado in large numbers. However, most Abons live in the Colorado mountains.

## Colorado Habitat

Colorado is home to an increasing population of abons of many decents. Colorado is currently 7th for population density and 7th for population. Colorado abons live in the mountains but come down to ground level during the winter. Because the Colorado mountains are cold, there's not a lot of food in the region. Therefore, many Abons will migrate down to Denver during feeding and mating season. Colorado's most populous area is Denver-Boulder section. Abons here tend to live close to the city; or wherever there are fruit trees.

## Diet

Whatever's available. Aspen leaves, bush berries, acorns apples, pears. plums, peaches...

## Chronological Order

**Cut and Run** is a black picture in *Man of Medan*. It can be found by Fliss aboard the Duke of Milan. This picture appears in Uninvited Guests.

## Overview

A black-bordered framed painting made in a orange tone. It depicts three ships involved in the battle

## Premonition

Conrad attempts to escape on a speedboat as a man aims his handgun at him.

## Outcome

The premonition can be fulfilled in Intrusion. If Conrad chose to escape on the pirates' speedboat and completed the QTEs, he will begin to sail away when Olson aims at him:

* If Conrad completes the QTE or Alex attacks Olson (Curator's Cut), Conrad will successfully dodge the shot and swim away for help. This will result in Conrad returning to the Ourang Medan and either rescuing the survivors (if they are stranded on the ship) or going up to the ship and dying from the effects of the Manchurian Gold (if the survivors escaped).
* If Conrad fails the QTE or Alex doesn't attack Olson (Curator's Cut), the pirate will shoot Conrad in the chest and he will die.

## Location

The picture can be found inside Fliss's cabin, though it will be open only to her.

## Trivia

* Cut and Run is one of many pictures in the anthology that can be found by only one protagonist. In this case, it can be found by Fliss.
* The shooting ships in the painting are references to the premonition itself.

The Ancient One

The **Alien Ship**, referred to in-game as **Unknown Structure**, is a location in The Dark Pictures Anthology's third installment, *House of Ashes*.

## Description

It is a transport ship carrying thousands of cocoons that contain vampires, though it is unclear whether the large mounds of cocoons are actually infected with the parasites or not. It is vast and jungle-like, with strange organic formations growing on its walls and across the ground. Devices in its ceiling produce lightning strikes at random, and swarms of bats from the cave system above can sometimes be seen flying around. The structure is metallic and difficult to traverse without the ability to fly. There are control chairs scattered around, some of which contain uninfected, fossilized aliens.

## *House of Ashes*

### Millions of Years Ago

The ship was overrun by a group of bloodthirsty parasites that infected the crew and turned the aliens against each other, causing the vessel to crash on Earth.

### Pre-2231 BC

During an eclipse and the midst of a war between Akkad and Gutium, several vampires emerge after detecting blood on the surface and massacre everyone aboveground. Balathu or Kurum gets dragged by one vampire into the ship itself where they are partially covered in the cocoon fluid, while the other is infected and becomes The Ancient One.

### Main Story

#### Act 3

Jason and Salim first enter the structure with the archaeologists' elevator. Arriving at the entrance, each soldier may tell the other their personal problem. Afterwards, the duo moves on and encounters a preserved Balathu/Kurum, whom Salim ends his misery by stabbing their face with the stake. Reaching the cocoon vault, a vampire awakens, causing the soldiers to run away. However, Nick and possibly the others save Jason and Salim and together, they reunite at the Star Chamber.

In the Star Chamber, Salim finds out the truth about the aliens' former empire. The group may also deal with an ordeal where Rachel's infection is growing and must put an end to it. Regardless, the group arrives at the vault, where Nick volunteers to plant the bombs. While it proves to be successful, Nick may die in the process. Escaping the structure, Salim can be separated from the others, where he can either be saved by Jason, reach the elevator himself, or be left behind. Eventually, the group exits the structure.

## Trivia

* The Alien Ship, along with the Dockside Market, the Duke of Milan, the South Pacific Wreck Site, the SS Ourang Medan, the Temple, Caves, and the Cocoon Vault are the only locations that have chapters named after. (Respectively The City, Chinese Market, The Duke, Wreck, Abandoned Ship, The Temple, The Well, and The Vault)
* This is so far the largest structure in the anthology.

Drowned Demon

The **Collapsed Bridge** is a location in *The Dark Pictures Anthology*'s second installment, *Little Hope*.

## Description

The bridge is located in the center of Little Hope and serves as part of the main road that runs across the river below it. The bridge is a long girder structure with white lanterns at the top. It is quite narrow, as only one car can pass through it. The road on the bridge is partially destroyed, especially in one half, where it is practically absent.

## *Little Hope*

### 2019

The group makes it to the bridge as they make their way through the town. Since the bridge is completely destroyed halfway through, the protagonists decide to cross it in turn with John and Andrew going first. As Angela jumps towards them, part of the bridge collapses, separating Daniel and Taylor from the rest. Suddenly, the fog thickens and Amy grabs John and Andrew, pulling them into the past. There they see her execution, as she is tied with chains and thrown into the river, where she drowns.

In the present, Angela jumps to the guys and jumps down to the ground under the bridge. A Drowned Demon emerges from the river and begins to crawl towards the trio. Andrew manages to climb, but part of the road collapses, forcing Angela and John to climb the slope.

* If Andrew decides to save John, Angela will have to get out on her own.
* If Andrew decides to save Angela, she can accept help or refuse. By agreeing, Andrew will help Angela climb up and she will get out faster.

If Angela fails to climb the slope, the demon will bind her legs with chains and pull her to herself. She will vomit into Angela's mouth with black ooze, which causes her to drown, after which she floats into the river, pulling Angela's body with her. If she succeeds, Angela will climb the slope and escape with the rest of the woods while the demon watches over them.

In the end, one of the flashbacks reveals Anthony walking on the bridge, but in reality, the bridge is still intact.

## Trivia

* This is the first location in which the protagonists encounter the demons.

*Good morning, Chicago. We begin today with some breaking news. Chicago Police today confirmed the body of a man found in a fire at an abandoned warehouse in the Fulton River District, to be that of missing FBI Agent Hector Munday.

A spokesperson for Chicago PD confirmed Munday murdered four victims, including yesterday evening Police Officer Patrick Stanley, a dedicated veteran of 22 years. The fire was brought under control shortly before 5am this morning. The body at the scene was burnt beyond recognition, but police identified Munday from dental records.*

## Transcript

(on front)

*Shoeshine Killer Killed*

*Chicago Police today confirmed that the body of a man found in a fire at an abandoned warehouse almost two months ago is that of missing FBI Agent Hector Munday. The body was so badly burned that it could only be identified by dental records.*

*Munday was the subject of an investigation as the main suspect of three murders earlier this year. Until today, the suspect of the linked murders was known only by the media and public as The Shoeshine Killer.*

*A police spokesperson stated 'I can confirm today that following a thorough investigation by Chicago Police detectives, we have identified, with certainty, FBI Special Agent Hector Munday as the Shoeshine Killer. I can also confirm that Special Agent Hector Munday was killed in the fire at a disused commercial property in the Fulton River District on June 13 this year'.*

## Location

It can be found on a table to the left as soon as the protagonist descends into the underground bar.

## Trivia

* The date on the newspaper is August 3, 1990. This is an error, because Hector completed his degree in psychology only in 1988 and caught Sherman in 1997.
* The newspaper is "Final Friday edition", because August 3, 1990 was Friday.

Arielle Palik

**Arielle Palik** is a Canadian actress. She is known for her roles as Renee Pacheco in *Impostors* (2014), Young Juanita in *Fatal Vows* (2015), Motel Neighbor in *We Had It Coming* (2019), and Kelly in *Echo Boomers* (2020).

She voiced and motion captured the role of Julia, a protagonist in *The Dark Pictures Anthology*'s first installment, *Man of Medan.*

## Early Life

Palik's life is extremely private, but it's known that she was born and raised happily in Sherbrooke, Quebec. When she was only 17 years old, she moved to Montreal to pursue her great passion: acting for the stage and camera.

Arielle has always led a very multi-faceted life, because apart from dedicating herself to the theater, she has also tried: gymnastics, football, cycling, yoga, music and dance among other things.

## Career

### Stage

Palik's desire has always been to assume challenging and sometimes dark and sandy characters, and that distinguished her at a very young age.

Since her stage debut, she had the privilege of playing: a young and deeply injured pianist; a concierge at the Ukrainian airport; a beautiful southern woman on the run and finally, a 43-year-old Russian mother, actress and sociopath.

At 20 years, Palik earned a *DEC* (Diplôme d'Études Collégiales) in the Professional Theater program of the Dawson College Professional Theater Program, graduating with distinction and winning the The Valerie Marino Rookie of the Year Award (2009).

Later, Arielle and eight colleagues of hers, inspired by this world of interpretation, co-founded the Productions of the Title66 Theater in Montreal. She has made four tours of an original musical for children called *In Transit* accompanied by Segal Center 3 of The Wandering Stars of Montreal. Arielle is eager to explore, create and bring her artistic abilities to the top and maximize her potential.

### Video games

Palik also contributed in the world of video games and tried her luck debuting in the game *Deus Ex: Mankind Divided* (2016) as an additional voice and ending up being one of the main characters in *The Dark Pictures Anthology*'s first installment, *Man of Medan* (2019) as Julia, Conrad's (Shawn Ashmore) sister.

## Outcome

The premonition can be fulfilled in Heavy Burden. Upon the attack of the Crushed Demon, the surviving protagonists flee to hide in the burnt-out house. If John successfully fights his demon back or is the only protagonist except Andrew to be alive, he will enter the house and block the door when the Crushed Demon tries to break in:

* If John acts heroically, the Crushed Demon will stop attacking the protagonists and retreat.
* If John acts fearfully, he will have to pass a QTE to hold the door, the failure of which will result in his death.

## Location

The picture can be found on a table to the left of the derelict building.

## Trivia

* This premonition's particular variation has John blocking the door with a sledgehammer, as well as John and Andrew being the only surviving protagonists.

## Overview

A white-bordered framed painting. It depicts a warship sailing in an undulating sea.

* If the protagonists escaped, two soldiers will start inspecting the ship when they are killed by a raging Danny with a sledgehammer.
* If the protagonists are stranded on the ship, the military will rescue the protagonists plus Junior, only for them to be imprisoned. However, if the protagonists say the name of the ship, the soldiers will shoot the survivors on sight.

## Location

The picture can be found on the wall in the quartermaster's office to the right. However, in order for Brad to find it, he must successfully pass the Keep Calm segment.

## Trivia

* Copper Bottomed is one of many pictures in the anthology that can be found by only one protagonist. In this case, it can be found by Brad.
