These are all the flashbacks from Amnesia: The Dark Descent.
Journey to Sanctum 1[]
Occurs after entering the Entrance Hall.
- Daniel and Alexander on their way to the Inner Sanctum.
The inner sanctum – my most precious chamber, Daniel. And it lies well beyond the refinery. In fact... it lies beneath the very stone of Brennenburg.
Map Room[]
Occurs when entering the floor plans room in the Archives.
- Alexander and Daniel discussing reinforcing Brennenburg in anticipation of the Shadow's arrival.
There isn't much to be done about the wards. We should reinforce weak structures. The ground will tremble and there is a risk everything will cave in on us – especially downstairs. Here... here... and there. Let's get the servants working on it.
Secret Books[]
Occurs when entering the local history room in the Archives.
- Alexander explaining how to access the hidden room in the Archives.
You can never be too careful, Daniel.

[Both laugh, one man coughs]
Transformation 2[]
Occurs when entering the room in the Wine Cellar filled with scattered flesh.

How can you say that? Alexander, you piece of shit, let us out of here! [coughs]
Journey to Sanctum 2[]

Pay attention, Daniel. It's important that you keep going straight and make sure not to stray.
Journey to Sanctum 3[]

- Daniel and Alexander in the Back Hall, on their way to the Inner Sanctum.
[The sound of a lever being pulled, followed by the elevator rumbling]
Daniel's Mind 1[]

My journal is gone. What would they want with my journal?
Daniel's Mind 2[]

The key! Please, let it be here.
Daniel's Mind 3[]

Oh, thank God, there it is. Huh, I guess it is a good place to hide it then.

We'll put a stop to them. You'll see.
Dog Experiment[]

[grunts] Ugh... what a mess. I should have sharpened the saw. But I can sense it. It's definitely there.
Chasing Girl 1[]

Please, let me go. I won't tell anyone, I swear. I just want to go home... No! Get away from me! Leave me alone!

The shame will hurt much less than dying, I assure you.
Journey to Sanctum 4[]
Occurs after entering the prison.
- Alexander leading Daniel through the prison on their way to the Inner Sanctum.
Very much so. Come – don't linger.
Girl Escape[]
Occurs when entering the cell with the hole in the floor in the southern prison block.
- Agathe Zimmermann helping her daughter, Elise Zimmermann, escape.
Someone is coming. Hurry! I'll cover the hole with the bed. Everything will be fine – I promise.
Interrogation[]
Occurs when entering the room where the chipper can be found in the southern prison block.
- Daniel interrogating Agathe Zimmermann about her escaped daughter's whereabouts.
You are just making things worse. Look – this is no place for a young girl all by herself. She could be hurt or worse. There is no telling what horrors await down there.
Prisoner Captured[]
Occurs when entering a cell in the northern prison block.
- Prisoner lamenting his fate and proclaiming his innocence.
Hey! Anybody, help! Christ – I don't believe this. Why... I mean why? What did I do to deserve this? I mean, it can't be... Do I deserve this? It wasn't my fault! Why did he have to go in there? You don't go into burning houses. He should have known better.
Escapee[]
Occurs while walking through a hallway in the northern prison block.
- Daniel chasing after the escaped girl.
I doubt that very much.
Journey to Sanctum 5[]
Occurs after entering the Cistern Entrance.
- Alexander and Daniel in the Cistern Entrance on their way to the Inner Sanctum.
Not today. The flow is seasonal and when the spring runs dry, the damp tunnels produce a rather poisonous type of fungi. There is an antidote of course – but we won't be bothering with it today. Come, this way instead. We're almost there.
Mirage 2[]
Occurs after entering the Control Room.
Cistern Visit[]

Exactly.

You did well, Daniel. Come, let's get going.
False Dead Plague 1[]
Occurs when entering the room in the morgue where the metal tube can be found.
- Man waking up in a room in the morgue, not actually dead and now trapped.
What? What happened? Why are all these dead...? Where am I? What's happening? Help! Anybody help!
False Dead Plague 2[]
Occurs in the same room as the previous flashback after staying in it for a little while.
- The man still trapped in the morgue several days later.
Two... three days now. This is ridiculous. Why doesn't someone come to this room!? Hey! Anybody! Am I all alone here? Help! Help! I'm so tired... If I sleep – will I wake from this nightmare? If not, I pray my heavenly Father will take me in my sleep.
Prisoner Transported[]
Occurs when approaching the mill in the Sewer.
- Prisoner pleading while being transported through the drain sewers.
What's happening? What are you doing? Let me go! Please don't take me – nobody ever returns!
Alexander and Agrippa[]

- Alexander injecting Agrippa with vitae to keep him alive.
I don't doubt that – but will it be worth living?
Prisoner Wait Room[]
Occurs when entering one of the holding cells in the Nave.
- Prisoner pondering his circumstances in a holding cell.
I know this. I've been here already. I know this taste – the taste of Damascus Rose obfuscating the truth in a dim haze. They may sweep the traces from my memory, but my body remembers. These cuts speak volumes, even though my mind remains silent. They will be back. Oh, they will be back.
Journey to Sanctum 6[]
Occurs after entering the Chancel.
- Alexander and Daniel entering the Chancel, heading for the Inner Sanctum.
It doesn't matter. It's just a myth after all.
Wait Room[]
Occurs when re-entering the Nave from the Chancel.

Sounds from the torture chambers are shuffled in through those pipes in the ceiling. Manage your victims well and let one prisoner's pain instill terror in his cellmate.
Prisoner Cage[]
Occurs after entering the Transept.
- Alexander recommending a caged torture victim for Daniel to prepare for torture.
This one, prepare him.
Prisoner Dragged[]
Occurs whilst walking towards one of the torture rooms in the Transept.
- Alexander and Daniel dragging a prisoner to the Judas' Cradle.
Of course – we are dealing with monsters here.
Prisoner Before Torture[]

- Prisoner pleading before being led off for torture.
No, no please! I'll do anything! Whatever you want! [sobbing] Anything! I'll do anything! I'm innocent!
Torture Wheel[]
Occurs after entering the room with the torture wheel in the Choir – Main Hall.
- Alexander explaining the torture wheel to Daniel.
No, don't worry. The human body is much more resilient. They can survive for days until they finally succumb.
