The road to finding all 45 Lagniappes in Alone in the Dark was incredibly long and felt never-ending at times as the path to completion bent and often broke. We spent hours on this game finding the Lagniappe so you don’t have to.
There are 45 Lagniappes divided into 15 Sets in Alone in the Dark. Some sets reveal secret objectives that are tied to a character, while others reveal either an item or a memory.
You can easily complete 11/15 sets by the end of your first playthrough (regardless of who you pick at the beginning). But if you want all 15/15 sets, you must play the game at least twice. Even when all sets are complete, you have to head back in a further two times to see Alone in the Dark‘s final secrets.
You may experience the Lagniappe bug during your playthroughs. This is when your Lagniappe sets either reduce in another save file or completely reset. Your collected Lagniappe will count in your first playthrough, but incorrectly carry over when you start a new game as another character. Make sure you never manually load a previous save file unless you are trying to carry over your Lagniappe from Chapter Five: The End save file.
Let’s dive into where you can find every Lagniappe in Alone in the Dark.
