Alone in the Dark 

Where are all the Alone in the Dark Lagniappes? Alone in the Dark is set partly in 1920s New Orleans, and is faithful not only to its period, but also its location. “Lagniappe” is a New Orleans term for a free bonus or gift, and is used in-game for sets of collectible items. Not content with simple, useless collectibles for completionists, though, Alone in the Dark Lagniappe sets, when completed, can change the game, so there’s even more reason to find them all.

As you explore both the worlds of Alone in the Dark, you might want to check each and every corner and cranny for these interesting collectible items. Some are obvious, and some are even given to you automatically, but this is a puzzle game, so it’s not always that easy. You can’t always go back if you’re missing one, so keep your eyes – and this list – open to make sure you pick up all the Alone in the Dark Lagniappes.

With all these Alone in the Dark Lagniappes, you can experience everything the horror survival game has to offer, including secret objectives and additional plot lines. While you’re looking for a helping hand through Derceto, we’ve also got a guide to every Alone in the Dark combination lock puzzle, as well as the Pregtz safe combination answer.

As a guides writer at PCGamesN, Danielle knows what you’re looking for in a guide - mainly because she probably got stuck and asked the same question herself. You can usually find Danielle fighting for her life in Minecraft, Dead by Daylight, and Modern Warfare 2, so ask anything but her favorite game or genre. If you can’t tell from the list above, she can’t narrow it down. Before PCGN, Danielle wrote for WePC, but she studied music journalism so it may surprise you to find her writing to some baffling combination of Taylor Swift, Def Leppard, and Ghost.
