“So, you have ridden an elevator before?
”Alexander speaking to Daniel in a flashback.
The Elevator can be accessed from the Back Hall after fixing the machine powering it in the Machine Room.
Information[]
When Daniel first tries to use the elevator ("ascending room") it will not work. To be able to use it, you must first fix the machine powering it in the Machine Room , with the help from the various notes and items you've obtained in the Storage and the other rooms that can be accessed from the Back Hall.
Once you get the elevator to work, it can be used to get to the southern block of prison. The Shadow will invade this area, having completely consumed the Back Hall and Machine Room. This leaves Daniel no choice but to escape the nightmarish beast by riding the elevator down. Although about halfway there, the red residue of the Shadow leaves behind will show up on the wall. Right after, the elevator will start shaking violently and then break down, falling right down to the prison.

Trivia[]
- In a commentary node found in the elevator, developers saying that the elevator is not actually moving; it's the wall in front of the elevator that's moving. This same trick is probably used in cinemas. [elaborate: used how?]
- During a flashback, Daniel called the elevator an "ascending room"[1] rather than a "lift," which is what British subjects usually called it in the time period of Amnesia: The Dark Descent. In 1823, the elevator made its debut in London as an "ascending room". The demonstration of it working was open to the public, and Daniel claimed to have attended the demonstration as a child.[1]
- In the same flashback, Alexander states that the elevator will allow them to travel the vertical part of their journey to Inner Sanctum,[1] which implies prison is located at more or less the same depth as Inner Sanctum.
- An elevator returns in Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs as a means of accessing many areas in Mandus' factory compounds. The elevator's design was altered to suit the game's timeline.
