All monsters of Amnesia

The Choir - Main Hall is a large room within Brennenburg Castle, accessible from the Choir Entrance.

Information

The Choir was used for torture and contains three rooms, each of which has a different torture device: an Iron Maiden, a Torture Wheel and a Brazen Bull. Extreme methods such as the Brazen Bull were not used to extract vitae but rather to instill terror in the other victims, ensuring maximum vitae could be harvested via other torture methods later on. Pipes run to each of the torture rooms from the entrance, which supposedly carry the screams of torture victims back to the cells in the Nave. These can be used by the player as a guide for navigating the dark, red fog-filled area.

The Choir is full of Brutes, making it perhaps the most dangerous area in the entire game. Keeping the lantern off is advisable to avoid encounters. Should a Brute encounter ensue, Daniel should not attempt to run - Brutes can overtake him easily - but hide and wait behind a nearby pillar for the monstrosity to walk by. Hiding and even running is not too difficult here as the entire area is dark, although these tasks may be difficult at low sanity. It is possible to lure a chasing Brute into a pit, like jumping onto collapsed pillars suspended over the chasm, but one has to be incredibly swift and nimble.

After Daniel escapes the Cells and makes his way back to the Nave, the Choir and Transept will have completely collapsed underneath the Shadow.
