Unlock the Secrets to the Boar’s Keys in DreadOut: A Step-By-Step Guide for Survival Horror Fans

by

In the opening act of the game “DreadOut“, players first step into a school where they come across a massive boar wearing keys around its neck. For those eager to progress, it’s essential to secure these keys eventually, but the method of obtaining them can sometimes be puzzling. This walkthrough aims to guide fans by explaining the precise steps needed to collect the boar’s keys in “DreadOut”.

This manual specifically details the process of acquiring the boar’s keys within the game “DreadOut”. However, it does not delve into the locations of all the optional items that may be scattered around the school.

DreadOut: How to Get Boar Key

Stun the Boar

For those new to the boar, start by drawing out your device for capturing images, focus it on the beast, and immediately take a picture when you see the distortions emerge. Lovers of survival horror games should maintain their camera’s aim on the boar, gradually stepping back to dodge any attacks, and swiftly taking another photo as soon as the distortions reappear. Continue this routine until the boar flees.

Go Upstairs

At the end of the corridor lies a set of stairs leading up to the second floor. After ascending these stairs, players should rotate and move through the opening located forward and slightly to their left. Beyond this opening, there’s a hallway being invaded by a tree. Players should traverse this area to reach a slim passageway created by a curved wall.

Beat Sundel Bolong

As players get close to the tight passageway, a red warning sign will show up, implying an enemy is hidden nearby. That enemy is Sundel Bolong, and viewers can spot her in the narrow corridor using the camera. When a player locates Sundel, they can make her move by snapping a photo of her when the distortions appear. Fans can then replicate the actions demonstrated in this video to banish the ghost.

  1. Backup into the open area that is just before the corridor’s entrance, keeping the camera focused on the enemy.
  2. When Sundel is near the center of the open area, take a photo to stun her.
  3. Quickly put away the camera and sprint to get behind Sundel. The enemy will not be visible when the camera is inactive, and players will need to use their instincts to get into a position that is behind her.
  4. Quickly pull out the camera. If all has gone well, players should now be looking at a red sore on Sundel’s back, and they should photograph that sore to defeat the foe.

Visit the Office Cabinet

Players should now proceed along the corridor and follow the ensuing passageways until they come across a black cat and a metal gate. As they embark on this journey, fans of horror games featuring female protagonists will notice a flight of stairs passing by, but these are not the stairs they earlier used to ascend to the second floor.

When players reach the mentioned metal gate, they’ll notice double doors to their left side. Here’s what fans need to do when they spot those doors:

  1. Pass through the double wooden doors.
  2. Pass through the single wooden door that is directly ahead.
  3. Turn right and pass through the single wooden door that is directly ahead.

Currently, fans find themselves in a modest-sized room, and there is a cabinet tucked away in one corner that they will need to access later. At this point, players should only engage with the untouched door of the room and move through it to re-enter the hallway and the previously mentioned metallic entrance gate.

Take a Photo of the Hanging Girls

Players need to open the metal gate now, proceed through the opening to reach a ledge overlooking the school entrance. For those wielding cameras, you’ll notice traces of blood on the ledge; stand at these spots and aim your camera towards the open room. From here, spectators will discover blood stains resembling hanging figures on the posts, capturing their image will unveil a more comprehensive picture of the suspended girls.

Get the Small Key

This close-up image clearly shows a key tucked away inside a nearby desk, which resides on one of the upper floors. Here’s a route for the players to traverse in order to locate the pertinent room:

Or more casually:

This detailed snapshot clearly shows there’s a key hiding in a desk on an upper floor, and here’s a way for players to get to the relevant room:

  1. Start at the metal gate, and backtrack through the hallways to reach the narrow corridor where Sundel Bolong was first encountered.
  2. Pass through the corridor, and continue through the hallways to reach the stairs that were initially climbed.
  3. At the bottom of the stairs, walk forward and enter the hallway on the left.
  4. There is a room with a destroyed wall at the end of the hall, and the desk with the key in the back-left corner.

Stun the Boar

Following obtaining the Small Key, players will encounter the boar once more, this time requiring them to daze it using their cameras.

Open the Office Cabinet

As a dedicated fan of indie horror games, I need to make my way back to the eerie cabinet I encountered right before snapping that chilling picture of the hanging dolls. Here’s a simple guide for fellow gamers on how to navigate back to that spooky cabinet:

1. Start by exploring the darkened room where you first found the photo.
2. Look for the narrow hallway that leads from the room, and follow it until you reach the grand library.
3. In the library, search for the large wooden door that creaks when opened. This door will lead you to a dimly lit corridor.
4. Take the first left turn in the corridor, and keep walking straight until you hear the faint sound of a music box.
5. When you reach the source of the music, look around for the mysterious cabinet standing alone in the corner. That’s your destination!

  1. Start in the room with the Small Key, and backtrack through the hallway to reach the flight of stairs.
  2. Climb the stairs, turn around, and pass through the opening that is forward and to the left.
  3. Pass through the hallways, and the narrow corridor, to reach the small office that is just before the metal gate.

Upon arriving at the office, players are expected to engage with the cabinet and gain access to an adjacent hidden room. In this secret hideaway, players should interact with the crib to initiate a brief cinematic sequence and start a fight against the Scissor Phantom.

Beat Scissor Phantom

Battling the Scissor Phantom might prove challenging, with multiple character deaths likely during the fight. Yet, overcoming this spectral adversary is achievable. This video presents a strategy that enthusiasts might find useful in their quest to vanquish the ghost.

  1. Sprint to the side of the room that is opposite the Scissor Phantom.
  2. Quickly pull out the camera and take a photo of the enemy to stun him.
  3. As soon as the photo is taken, wait for the ghost to disappear, run to the center of the room, and spin the camera in circles until the Scissor Phantom’s new position is determined.
  4. Repeat Steps 1–3 until the foe is defeated. The Scissor Phantom falls after being photographed eight times.

By normal settings, when a player dies, they enter a space called limbo which gradually expands each time they die. This can be quite annoying during battles with the Scissor Phantom. Luckily, players can stop the limbo from growing larger by going to Settings -> Experience Settings -> Fixed Limbo Distance in the system settings.

Collect the Scissors and Get the Boar Key

After overcoming the Scissor Phantom, players need to gather the dropped Scissors and make their way back to the boar on the ground floor. This particular boar should be found in a room next to where the Small Key was acquired. Enthusiasts of games such as Fatal Frame will recognize that they must cut the keys from the boar’s neck upon approaching it. For better understanding, here is a guide on how to reach the sleeping boar:

1. Start from your current location.
2. Find the room where the Small Key was obtained (adjacent to the boar’s room).
3. Proceed to the room where you will find the sleeping boar.

  1. Start at the metal gate, and follow the hallways to reach the narrow corridor where Sundel Bolong was first encountered.
  2. Pass through the corridor, and follow the hallways to reach the stairs that were initially climbed.
  3. At the bottom of the stairs, walk forward and enter the hallway on the left.
  4. The boar is sleeping in a room with a destroyed wall, just before the room where the Small Key was found.
