THIRD FLOOR

Stuck on the Third Floor section of The Vanishing of Ethan Carter? Follow this guide to find the attic room, uncover the secret, and piece together the magician's story.

Alright, so you've made it to the Third Floor. This part can be a little tricky because it's not immediately obvious where you need to go. You're looking for a specific room that acts like an attic. Keep an eye out for the one that's big, has a desk at the far end, and two windows. That's your target!

Once you've found and interacted with the correct room, you'll trigger a bit of a puzzle. If you've swapped to all the right rooms, you'll get a prompt to go back through a door, and that's when the 'secret room' will appear. Inside, you'll find all sorts of creepy alchemist materials, books, papers, and the grim discoveries of a severed head and a dead fetus. Talk about unsettling!

Your next step is to read the letter you'll find on the desk in this secret room. This will warp you back to the 'real' house. You'll find yourself in a room with a bunch of barrels. Here, you need to find two things to read: a newspaper clipping on one of the barrels and a letter on the dresser. Once you've grabbed those, just open the door, head down the stairs, and get out of that spooky house.
