Barn and Stable Road
Sharpen the scissors on the grindstone, use the golden ring and cabinet code 61944 to get the lever, lower the car with the winch, and open the stables to continue through the roadside house.
Godstone Memorial Hospital
Reveal the hourglass in Consulting Room B to obtain Tempus Fugit, use OLIVER to open the locked room, paint the bath corpse correctly, and mix Belladonna 100ml with Formalin 350ml in the apparatus.

Graveyard and Lighthouse

Redler Manor to Temple Finale
Set the clock door to 10:00, use AGNES for the dining-room route, use FADGE for Cole's locked room, place the offerings in the temple, and defeat Aron in the final boss fight to complete the game.

The Occultist Chapters and Areas
Use this page when you remember the place but not the exact puzzle name. The published walkthrough hub breaks The Occultist into six major chapters: Arriving at Godstone, Godstone Memorial Hospital, Godstone Orphanage, Godstone Circus, The Cemetery, and Redler Manor & Finale.
Arriving at Godstone, Parker's House & The Barn
Alan arrives on the island, explores the Parkers' property, and the investigation quickly turns darker as the opening route pushes through the house and barn.
Godstone Memorial Hospital
After escaping the Parkers' House and Barn, Alan reaches the hospital gates and begins moving through empty wards while a sinister presence stalks the halls.
Godstone Orphanage
Alan wakes in the orphanage basement after being ambushed and must work upward through the building while animatronics roam the corridors.
Godstone Circus
Once Alan leaves the orphanage, the next major destination is the fog-covered circus, where the main progression revolves around gathering tokens and reaching the Main Event.
The Cemetery
A motorboat ride carries Alan to the cemetery side of Godstone, where the route expands through graveyard spaces, the lighthouse approach, and the mausoleum path toward the manor.
Redler Manor & Finale
The last main area is Redler Manor, where Alan closes in on the curse's source and the story moves into its final puzzle-heavy endgame.
The Occultist Collectibles Guide
The main completion set in The Occultist is split across medallions, altars, and Gospel Fragments. This guide gives you the total count, first confirmed pickup points, and practical tracking notes for each collectible type.
Medallions
15First pickup: 1/15 near the house keys in the opening cave.
Tracking tip: Use Vera Visio often — hidden medallions are commonly revealed first and then collected normally or with Caecus Corvus.
Altars
7First pickup: 1/7 in the basement of the opening house after entering the dead woman's name.
Tracking tip: Altars are placed slightly off the critical route — easiest to miss when the game puts pressure on movement and stealth.
Gospel Fragments
5First pickup: 1/5 on the kitchen counter in the first house.
Tracking tip: These are strongly tied to story spaces — a chapter-based route index and completion counter fit this set best.
Use Vera Visio in every new area — most collectibles are invisible until the power is active. Check side paths and areas just off the critical route, especially before triggering major story transitions.
The Occultist Pendulum Powers Guide
The Occultist is not built around weapons or combat loadouts — the pendulum is the game's core progression system. Each new ability changes how you read the environment, from revealing hidden clues to summoning a raven or commanding rats.
Vera Visio
RevelationLets Alan see clues, symbols, trails, documents, and items that are otherwise invisible. The core investigative power from the opening areas — stays relevant for nearly every chapter.
- Reveals the first medallion near the house keys.
- Shows hidden blood trails, names, symbols, and frames used in puzzle solving.
- Marks distant objects that later need Caecus Corvus.
The first pendulum mechanic players learn to rely on.
Tempus Fugit
TimeAllows Alan to manipulate time, restoring objects or changing time-based mechanisms. Becomes central after the hospital sequence and reappears in mechanical and mansion puzzles.
- Used to restore the hourglass mechanic and learn time control.
- Used on broken lion mechanisms and performance-room instruments.
- Supports clock and restoration-style puzzle sequences.
Makes the past and future respond to Alan.
Caecus Corvus
RavenSummons a raven that can grab distant items or activate mechanisms Alan cannot reach directly. First becomes a major tool in the orphanage and stays important through the circus, manor, and final battle.
- Pulls the crowbar blocking a door in the orphanage.
- Collects the yellow ticket from the Ferris wheel corpse in the circus.
- Hits the bells above Aron during the final boss fight.
Turns vertical space and unreachable objects into active puzzle spaces.
Vermis Mentis
RatsGives Alan control over small vermin to clear paths, expose items, and damage Aron in the finale. Becomes active in the lighthouse sequence and essential in late-game mansion and temple sections.
- Unlocked after the lighthouse valve puzzle (gauges 6, 9, and 20).
- Moves rats away so Alan can reach blocked items like the silver mask.
- Turns the rats against Aron after the bells are struck.
The moment when the rats are at Alan's mercy.
The Occultist Stealth and Enemy Guide
The Occultist is built around tension, evasion, and environmental problem-solving rather than direct combat. Many enemies are mostly undefeatable — the correct mindset is not 'How do I kill this?' but 'How do I stay unspotted, use the pendulum, and keep moving?'
Treat most hostile moments as avoidance encounters
Alan is not a combat-first protagonist. The official feature list describes Hide and Sneak as a core mechanic, and the souls and creatures on Godstone Island are dangers to avoid rather than enemies to clear.
Use crouch and cover before you use speed
When aggressive spirits are nearby, staying low is your safest default. Guide coverage points players to crouching behind objects to hide from hostile spirits — stealth spaces are built to be read slowly.
Run only to break pressure or cross a danger gap
Sprint is useful but not the baseline answer. In chase-like spaces such as the Telsa encounter through the cornfield, movement works best when controlled and purpose-driven rather than frantic.
Use pendulum powers to solve enemy spaces indirectly
Stealth sections become easier when you stop thinking about powers as puzzle-only tools. Vera Visio reveals what matters, Caecus Corvus interacts with distant mechanisms, and Vermis Mentis can clear rat-filled choke points.
The finale still follows the same rule: disable, then exploit
Even the final boss does not turn the game into a weapon fight. Aron is handled by using Caecus Corvus to strike the bells overhead and then Vermis Mentis to direct the rats onto him — repeat until the fight ends.
The Occultist Controls and Tips
This is the guide for players who have just started and want to understand how the game feels in their hands. The best beginner help is a short sequence of real actions: how to move, read danger, swap pendulum powers, check clues, and use the time-control mechanic.
Learn the core PC actions first
On keyboard, the main early actions are simple and practical. These four inputs cover most early exploration and stealth spaces.
Controller play is built around the pendulum
Controller guidance focuses on quick power access and fast reading of clues. Swap powers on the d-pad, hold left trigger to open the power selection screen, and use right trigger to activate powers.
Use the diary whenever a puzzle clue feels too brief
Alan writes and sketches inside the diary as the investigation continues. Several puzzle routes and pattern clues become easier when you stop and reopen the diary instead of trying to memorize everything.
Read Alan's left hand as your danger meter
The game does not use a traditional combat HUD. Instead, check Alan's left hand during dangerous moments — health recovers automatically once the immediate threat passes.
Switch powers quickly instead of opening menus constantly
The game expects fast pendulum swapping once more abilities unlock. PC guide coverage describes using number keys such as 1 and 2 to change skills, while controller users stay on the d-pad.
Tempus Fugit needs a separate movement habit
When the time-control power arrives, its input is more specific than the rest of the toolkit. Hold the left mouse button while pressing A or D to rewind or fast-forward time during dedicated puzzles.
The Occultist Best Early Game Tips
Key strategies and priority actions for players starting The Occultist for the first time on PC.
Use Vera Visio in Every Room
Always activate Vera Visio when entering a new area. It reveals hidden clues, collectibles, and ghost echoes invisible without it.
Inspect All Items Closely
Many puzzle solutions come from inspecting collected items up close. The ring in Parker's bathroom reveals TELSA only when inspected thoroughly.
Record All Codes and Names
Keep notes on every code and name you find: TELSA, OLIVER, FELIX, BORNE, WILLOW, AGNES, FADGE, and number codes 61944 and 54218.
Stealth Past Whitney in the Hospital
Whitney cannot be defeated in the hospital. Hide and wait for patrols to pass — rushing will reset your position and waste time.
Collect Per Area Before Moving On
Collectibles are area-specific. Missing a Medallion, Altar, or Gospel Fragment in a chapter may lock you out permanently in that playthrough.
Follow the Tarot Order Exactly
The circus tarot machine requires The Hierophant, then The Tower, then The Death in exact sequence. Wrong answers restart the entire machine.
