Getting Inside
Begin your adventure by stepping out of your car and walking towards Dalton’s Dinos. There’s a payphone near the entrance where you can attempt to call for help. After the call, make your way inside the building.
Once you enter the main reception area, turn left towards the impressive Allosaurus fossil. Look for a piece of paper attached to its hand — you’ll need to leap onto the rocky platform to reach it.
You’ll find the second half of the paper at the base of the Brontosaurus fossil, located on the right side of the hall. Collect this piece and combine it with the first to uncover a code necessary for advancing.
Now, enter 9216 into the keypad next to the employees-only section. After that, head inside and grab a token from the counter, which is essential to unlock your access to the theater.
The Theater
When the preshow concludes, push through the newly unlocked No Entry door. Climb the crates to your left to gain some height, then jump toward the cage to get over it.
Take the stairs and enter the upper room. Here, pick up the fuse on the table and install it into the fuse box beside the video player. You’ll need to time your button presses correctly—aim for three precise actions to successfully place the fuse.
Hit the switch on the video player to restart the preshow. Afterward, head back into the theater and move through the newly opened gate to your left to access the exhibits.
The Exhibits
Use the dinosaur on your right as a jump-off point, leaping to climb up top. Proceed right, navigating over crates and beneath pipes to reach the opposite side.
Prepare for some more challenging jumps here, moving from one platform to another. Go through the opening at the end and descend, continuing straight ahead to enter the room at the end to interact with the console terminal.
At this stage, you’ll need to toggle three switches to restore power to the gate. Exit the security room, move straight, and stop near the dinosaur on your right. Use its body along with the platforms to climb up and flip the first switch.
Use the ladder on the opposite side of the switch to descend. For the next switch, move to the right towards the stage, and start your climb. Upon reaching the first balcony, look behind you to find some branches. Use these to access the switch on the opposite side.
For the last switch, get near the stage at the right side of the security room. Engage in more careful parkour to reach the switch above. Finally, make your way back inside the security room and pull the lever to unlock the gate. Don’t forget to grab the telephone and headphones near the radio before you leave.
Dilo Dash Exhibit
Exit the security room and turn right to continue. It’s time for some serious platforming here; jump from one platform to another to avoid ground contact, or it’s game over with electrocution!
Upon entering an alleyway, look ahead for yellow pipes to aid your crossing. Drop down on the other side and head straight towards the next exhibit, using the pillars to climb to the top.
Once at the top, check to your right for more pillars to help you progress. You’ll find a token at the far end, essential for obtaining the flashlight. Go back down and head right to exchange your token for the flashlight, preparing for the Dilo Dash experience.
Heading Backstage
After finishing the Dilo Dash, you’ll eventually find yourself by the exit, but it’ll be blocked. Use the display box on your left to climb up to the platforms above.
Encounters with moving dino dummies begin here. Time your jumps carefully to catch hold of one, which will transport you to the other side where you’ll need to get dropped off. There’s a button on top of the boxes at this location—make sure to pick it up.
Descend and move left until you reach the dark room with a single exhibit. Place the button on the console and press it. This will release an asteroid from the exhibit in front of you. You’ll need to be quick and parkour your way through the opening where the asteroid emerged to continue.
Jump up directly ahead, then slide beneath the dinosaur on your left. Use the pillars to ascend on the right and climb higher using the platforms. Circle around the exhibit at the top, then quickly slide under the pipes to jump into the opening.
The Giftshop
Head straight and use the ladder at the end to descend. Next, navigate over the railing using the yellow pipes. Squeeze through the path ahead and look for a vent on your left once you reach the other side to progress.
After dropping from the vent, follow the path to enter the gift shop. Sprint to the far side of the shop and enter the office, where you can watch a VHS tape and have a chat with Stella.
After chatting with Stella, exit the office and turn right. Then, take a left at the end to find the basement entrance. Enter 1903 on the keypad to unlock it. Be ready to use your flashlight as you go down.
Arriving at the bottom, look straight ahead to find your first fuse. The second is further back, slightly left from the first. To locate the third and final fuse, head left from this point.
Return to the main area to place a fuse in the box on the pillar next to the office. However, expect the dinosaur mascot to start chasing you now. Make a run for it to give yourself time to insert the fuse.
Next, dash towards the pillar near the toy section to install another fuse. The last fuse box will be on the pillar close to the arcade, so keep your distance from the enemy while placing the fuses.
Once you’ve positioned all the fuses, enter the arcade. Move straight once inside and turn left at the end to find a vent. Go through it to pass to the other side.
The Bronto Chase
Recall the three pillars where you placed the fuses? Now you must pull the levers above those pillars to clear your way forward. Jump across the platforms to activate all the levers.
You will reach a vent that brings you back inside the office as you near the end of your path. At this point, you need to return to each fuse box individually to power on the floodlights while being chased by the massive creature lurking below.
This is best tackled at a walk rather than running. After activating the lights, make your way to the exit located to the right of the office. If the Bronto demolishes your exit, quickly retreat and run straight ahead.
Hop over the platforms and keep running deeper into the basement until you ultimately arrive at the caverns, marking the completion of your first chapter.
