Jump Down to Toluca Prison

James will end up in the Toluca Prison Canteen where you will come across a dead body slumped over one of the tables. A cutscene with Eddie will trigger after getting within its proximity.

Afterward, exit into the main hallway, enter the first door you see to access a save point, and pick up the Toluca Prison Map on the bulletin board. There will also be a gun cabinet containing a Rifle which you will need to find the key for.

Locate the Scales

From the Armory, head right through the double doors leading into the cell blocks. You can switch on the lights by pulling down on the levers installed on the walls. However, they will only stay on for a limited amount of time.

Pass through Block B and into the Yard where you will find Scales hidden underneath a white cloth, with a Neutral Weight already included. This will be your key to unlocking all of the animal doors spread across the prison, so come back to it constantly.

Weights and Scales Puzzle Guide

Unlock the Headless Serpent Door

Walk back from the cell blocks toward the Chapel where you can find The Heaviest Weight at the altar. Head back to the Scales and place The Heaviest Weight on the right pan while placing the Neutral Weight on the left pan to unlock the Headless Serpent Door located next to Cell A6 in Block A.

Get the Medium Weight and Armory Key

Now with access to the Serpent Section, navigate the cell blocks and reach the Witness Room by going through the door adjacent to Cell E10. Solve the Witness Room Generator Puzzle by turning all switches up in order, causing a power surge that opens all cells within the Serpent Section, and the Death Chamber.

Find a Medium Weight on the electric chair inside the Death Chamber and head toward Cell E10, where you can break a wall and gain access to the unnamed rooms behind it. Head through and turn to your left where you can see an opened key locker bearing the Armory Key. Exit the Serpent Section and make your way back to the Armory to unlock the Gun Cabinet and acquire a Rifle.

Prison Generator Switch Solution

Unlock the Hornless Ox Door

Return to the Scales in the Yard and open the Hornless Ox Door by placing both the Neutral Weight and The Heaviest Weight on the left pan, while placing the Medium Weight on the right, then proceed to the door beside Cell A1 in Block A.

Get the Heavy Weight

Proceed through the Hornless Ox Door and ascend to the second floor of the prison. Head to your right and straight into the Guardroom where you can find the Block D Key from a drawer. Unlock the doors to Cell Block D and enter Cell D5 to get a Shiv Key, which you will need to unlock Cell C4.

After unlocking Cell C4 with the Shiv Key, climb through the hole in the cell and squeeze through the pipes to get in the Showers by cutting through the Toilets. Reach into a hole at the far-right end of the room to obtain a Heavy Weight. Exit the area and return to the Scales.

Unlock the Eyeless Boar Door

To unlock the Eyeless Boar Door, place The Heaviest Weight, the Heavy Weight, and Medium Weight on the right pan, then place the Neutral Weight on the left. Proceed to the door directly in front of Cell B3 in Block B.

Get the Light Weight

Inside the Boar Section, head toward the Infirmary and find an Upper Floor Key on the desk in the backrooms. Use it to unlock the stairwell to the upper floor, next to the Men's Room, and go up the stairs until you reach the Warden's Room on the third floor. Input the word SICK on the typewriter at the desk which opens its drawer containing The Lightest Weight.

Unlock the Wingless Dove Door

Return to the Scales once more and place all of the weights on the left pan, but leave the Medium Weight on the right pan to unlock the Wingless Dove Door. From the Yard, turn left on the first corner you see and go down the stairs to access the Basement. Note that after passing the debris to the entrance of the main basement room, your path back to the Wingless Dove Door will be blocked.

Get the Lightest Weight

Once in the Basement, make your way around the cells, peek through the door viewer of Cell F6 and see The Lightest Weight on top of a white sheet, and head toward Cell F15. Crawl through the open space into an unnamed room and press the panel on the wall that opens Cells F5 and F6.

Exit the room and walk over to Cell F6 where you can pick up The Lightest Weight. Do note that the doors to the cell will close after doing this, but will open again after a short while. To exit the area, head over to Cell F9 and destroy the wall into Cell F10 to access a ladder that leads to the upper floor, then return to the Scales.

Unlock the Gallows

Return to the Yard where the scenery has shifted and rain begins to pour. With all of the weights gathered, unlock the Gallows by placing the Heavy Weight, Light Weight, and The Lightest Weight on the left pan, then place The Heaviest Weight, Medium Weight, and the Neutral Weight on the right pan. Afterward, the statue will drop an Execution Lever into James' hands.

Solve the Gallows Puzzle

Insert the Execution Lever on its base in front of the diagram at the Gallows. Watch as the diagram unfolds itself into a cabinet that mirrors the nooses hanging from the Gallows. The notes placed on every number serve as the first verse to a poem that details that prisoner's crime, which must be completed by attaching the appropriate second verse written on the cards provided below.

You may piece together the verses by aligning the tear lines between each piece to complete the poems. Afterward, James must pass his judgement and pull on the noose to decide the wrongfully convicted criminal. Either pull on Noose I or Noose V (for Hard puzzle difficulty) to activate a trapdoor that will lead James into The Labyrinth.
