Dark Auction Christoph Auction Guide

Dark Auction challenges players with tense auction scenarios where every choice can make or break their success. Christoph’s auction not only tests your attention to detail but also reveals layers of his complex family ties and alternate personality. The pressure mounts as a single slip-up means failure, making it crucial to approach each stage methodically and with focus.

The third auction focuses deeply on Christoph and his intertwined relationship with his mother, grandmother, and his darker alter ego, Adolf. The structure remains consistent with the game’s previous auctions, divided neatly into four stages each presenting a unique puzzle piece to solve.

The third auction in the game revolves around Christoph, his relationship with both his mother and grandmother, as well as his alternate personality Adolf. Like the previous auctions this one is split into four separate stages. In the walkthrough below we have seperated each stage so you may look at them one at a time.

In the opening stage, your task is to complete a set of six puzzle segments by selecting the correct dialogue responses. These choices fill the memory gaps that form the foundation for the entire auction.

For the first stage you’ll need to make correct dialogue choices to fill in the empty puzzle pieces. There are six pieces to fill in during this stage. The correct choices to make are:

1. Large Jewelry Box
2. Red Dress
3. Black Dog
4. Grandmother’s Cane
5. Chain and Padlock
6. Stacked Dishes

Stage two shifts focus to reconstructing Christoph’s timeline using the images gathered earlier. You’ll need to slot three specific images into their correct blank positions on the timeline to keep the story coherent.

1. Fill blank space 2 with image 3 (The Locked Door)
2. Fill blank space 4 with image 1 (The Red Room)
3. Fill blank space 9 with image 2 (Christoph’s Grandmother’s Death)

1. Select space 2 and fill it with image 3 (The Locked Door)
2. Select space 4 and fill it with image 1 (The Red Room)
3. Select space 9 and fill it with image 2 (Christoph’s Grandmother’s Death)

The timeline isn’t perfect yet — stage three forces you to identify and rectify contradictions cropping up in the sequence, demanding a keen eye for detail and understanding of the narrative flow.

Then for the third stage you’ll need to find parts of the timeline you just constructed with contradict reality and use information you have to fix them. During this auction there are four different contradictions in the timeline. Here’s how you’ll fix them.

1. Swap “Stacked Dishes” with “Pile of Books” (on slide 2)
2. Swap “Red Dress” with “Mourning Hat” (on slide 4)
3. Swap “Green Desk Lamp” with “Red Desk Lamp” (on slide 6)
4. Swap “Grandmother’s Cane” with “Edelweiss Stained With Blood” (on slide 9)

The final stage requires placing the correct items into the remaining memory blanks of the film reels you’ve pieced together. This step solidifies your grasp of Christoph’s fragmented memories and resolves the auction’s mystery.

Finally, you’ll need to use the memories you obtained in the previous stage to fill in the blank memories in the final stage of the auction. Here are all the blanks you’ll need to fill

1. Apply the Lantern to Film 3
2. Apply the Leather Bookmark to Film 5
3. Apply the Black Dress to Film 8
4. Apply the Flame Brooch to Film 6

Once these corrections are made, the memory film completes, revealing the full story. It’s a satisfying moment after carefully navigating Christoph’s layered past and sets the stage for what’s next.
