Follow this walkthrough for Amnesia: The Dark Descent's Study section. Find tinderboxes, oil, notes from Agrippa and Alexander, and learn how to break the weak window.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Enter the open room to your right. Look left on the shelf for a tinderbox. Continue to a chest near the window and open it for another tinderbox.
  2. 2
    Exit this room and enter the one in front of you. Find a note on a table near the window. Read it to learn about Agrippa, a teacher who stole an orb and was chased by a monster.
  3. 3
    Exit the room and proceed down the hall to an area with windows. The first window is weak and has a bottle of oil. Do not break it yet.
  4. 4
    Enter the room to your right. This is where animals were killed. A flashback occurs, showing Alexander cutting up animals.
  5. 5
    Walk around the central table. Near a decapitated dog's head and a candle, find a note. Read it to learn Alexander harvests something from the brains of humans and animals, requiring fear and pain.
  6. 6
    Go to the next room. Turn right and check the note on the table regarding Alexander's frustration. Open the drawers on the other table to find a tinderbox and a surprise.
  7. 7
    Exit this room and return to the hall. Continue until boulders block your path. Now, break the weak window.
  8. 8
    To break the weak window: Throw something at it, like the decapitated dog's head, or repeatedly click on it until it breaks.
  9. 9
    Take the bottle of oil before going through the window. Land carefully on the perch and grab the tinderbox on it.
  10. 10
    Jump from perch to perch until you reach another open window.
  11. 11
    Inside, touch the glowing canister to read a note from the author expressing disappointment in Agrippa.
  12. 12
    Enter the next room. Find an oil barrel to replenish your lantern. On the table are a note and a rod. Take the note and the Flow Cycle Rod. The note explains the Elevator setting (8 up, 8 down) and the need for two more rods.
  13. 13
    Enter the next room. Open the chest in the left corner near the painting for two tinderboxes.
  14. 14
    Exit the Study by going through the window, jumping back across the perches to the first window, and proceeding down the hall to the Back Hall door.
