This is the complete labyrinth map for The Labyrinth on Burrow Hill, designed to get you through the oppressive, winding tunnels with all secrets in hand. The labyrinth is a disorienting maze designed to confuse you, but its layout is fixed. This guide and the annotated map below break down the critical path, puzzle solutions, and the locations of every key item required to see both of the game's endings.
How to Navigate the Labyrinth
The Labyrinth is comprised of three main interconnected zones, each with its own landmarks and dangers. Think of it less as a single maze and more as a series of locked-off sectors you must open up.
- Maintenance Tunnels: This is the sprawling central hub where you begin. It's a network of rusty, identical-looking corridors connecting all other zones. The main threats here are disorientation and the ever-present Stalker. Key locations include the Safe Room, the Generator Room, and multiple locked doors.
- Flooded Cistern: A dark, partially submerged section in the lower levels. Navigation is slow and dangerous due to deep water and the Drowner creature that inhabits it. This area holds a key item for reaching the Owl Mask.
- Ritual Chamber: The final area of the game, accessible only after power is restored. This is where you will place the ceremonial masks to trigger the endgame.
Your primary objectives, in order, are to restore power to the facility, find the three Ceremonial Masks, and use them to open the final exit. The most important tool is your own map; fill it out as you explore, noting locked doors and landmarks.
The Critical Path: Restoring Power
Your first major goal is to get the lights and machinery working. The main gate and several key doors are electronically sealed until you activate the auxiliary generator. This is a multi-step process.
1. Find the Generator Room
From the starting area, take the right-hand passage and follow the yellow electrical cables painted on the floor. These will eventually lead you down a long corridor to a heavy metal door marked "GENERATOR." Inside, you'll find the main power console and a Sledgehammer, a crucial tool for later exploration. The console will be dead, indicating you need to find and replace three missing fuses.
2. Locate the Three Missing Fuses
The fuses are scattered throughout the initial section of the Maintenance Tunnels. Their locations are fixed:
- Fuse 1: On a workbench in the small room directly opposite the first save point (the lantern).
- Fuse 2: On the floor next to a deceased worker in a dead-end corridor marked with a "C-3" sign.
- Fuse 3: Inside a rusted locker in the upper walkway overlooking the main tunnel crossroads. You'll need to climb a small ladder to reach it.
3. Solve the Power Relay Puzzle
Return to the Generator Room and insert the three fuses into the empty slots on the console. This will power up a breaker panel on the adjacent wall. This is the Power Relay Puzzle. You must flip the switches in the correct sequence to route power to the main grid. Flipping the wrong switch will cause a harmless but loud spark. The correct solution is to flip breakers 1, 3, and 4, leaving breaker 2 in the down position. The hum of machinery and the flickering on of distant lights confirms your success.
Unlocking the Secrets: The Safe and The Masks
With the power on, you can now access new areas and focus on the main objective: collecting the three Ceremonial Masks. One is locked inside a large, immovable safe that requires a three-digit combination.
Where to Find the Safe Code Clues
The code is 854. While you can simply input this code, the in-game clues are found etched into the environment in three separate locations within the Maintenance Tunnels. Each is a single digit found near a distinct landmark:
- The number 8: Scratched into the side of the collapsed minecart in the western tunnels.
- The number 5: Painted faintly on the wall behind the large, hanging cage near the entrance to the Flooded Cistern.
- The number 4: Written in grime on the central pipe of the water pump control station in sector B-2.
All Three Ceremonial Mask Locations
With the code and the Sledgehammer from the Generator Room, you can now retrieve all three masks. They are the key to opening the final door in the Ritual Chamber.
- Wolf Mask: This mask is your reward for opening the large floor safe. The safe is located in the main office, a room that becomes accessible only after the power is restored. Input the code 854 to open it.
- Ram Mask: This mask is hidden behind a crumbling brick wall in the northernmost passage of the upper Maintenance Tunnels. The wall looks unstable and has a large crack through it. Use the Sledgehammer found in the Generator Room to break it open and reveal a hidden alcove containing the mask.
- Owl Mask: The most complex to acquire. First, you must go to the Flooded Cistern. Navigate the treacherous waters to find a submerged corpse clutching the Maintenance Key. Take this key back to the main tunnel hub and use it to unlock the door marked "Closet." The Owl Mask is sitting on a shelf inside.

Surviving the Flooded Cistern
The Flooded Cistern is the most dangerous area in the game. The water obscures your vision, slows your movement, and is home to a creature known as the "Drowner." Unlike the Stalker, which relies on hearing, the Drowner is attracted to any disturbance in the water. Your goal here is to get the Maintenance Key and get out.
To survive, move slowly and deliberately. Avoid running or jumping, as the splashing will immediately draw the Drowner's attention. Your flashlight beam can cause the creature to temporarily recoil, giving you a precious few seconds to move away. It cannot be killed. The key is located on a body slumped against a water pump in the far eastern corner of the cistern. Plan your route, move quietly, and don't linger.

The Two Endings: How to Escape Burrow Hill
Once you have all three masks—the Wolf, Ram, and Owl—proceed to the Ritual Chamber. The door to this chamber is at the far end of the main tunnel and is marked with a carving of a large, horned figure. With the power on, it will slide open.
Inside, you'll find three stone pedestals. Place one mask on each. This will trigger the endgame sequence and determine which of the two endings you receive.
Ending 1: The "Escape" Ending
This is the standard ending. After placing the three masks on their pedestals, the massive main entrance gate back at the start of the labyrinth will grind open. A loud, echoing boom will signal this. Simply retrace your steps to the entrance and walk out into the foggy woods to finish the game.
Ending 2: The "Submerge" True Ending
This secret ending requires an extra step. To unlock it, you must first find and read all five lore documents scattered throughout the labyrinth before placing the masks.
| Document Location |
|---|
| 1. On the desk in the main office (near the safe) |
| 2. On a crate in the Generator Room |
| 3. On the floor of the closet containing the Owl Mask |
| 4. Next to the corpse with the Maintenance Key |
| 5. In the hidden alcove with the Ram Mask |
After reading all five documents and then placing the three masks on the pedestals, do not leave. Instead, turn around and face the stone altar behind the pedestals. A new, hidden passage will have opened in the wall. Enter it and follow the path down to its conclusion to achieve the true ending.
Labyrinth FAQ
What is the safe code in The Labyrinth on Burrow Hill? The safe combination is 854. The clues can be found near the collapsed minecart (8), the hanging cage (5), and the water pump (4).
Where are the fuses for the generator? The three fuses are located in the early parts of the Maintenance Tunnels. One is on a workbench near the first save point, one is next to a body in a dead-end hall, and the third is in a locker on an upper walkway.
How do you get the Owl Mask? You need the Maintenance Key from the corpse in the Flooded Cistern. Use that key to open the locked closet in the main hub of the Maintenance Tunnels to find the Owl Mask.
Final Thoughts
The Labyrinth on Burrow Hill isn't just a maze; it's a test of methodical exploration and environmental awareness. Its oppressive atmosphere and deliberate pacing are designed to make you feel lost. But with a clear map and a systematic approach to its objectives—power, safe, masks—the labyrinth becomes a solvable and rewarding challenge rather than an exercise in frustration. The true horror isn't in getting lost, but in discovering why the labyrinth was built in the first place.
