Stairs Hallway
| ||||||||||||||||
One of the rooms in the Manor of Sleep from Fatal Frame III.
Background Info
The Stairs Hallway was one of the areas constructed after the Unleashing for the Kuze Family to live in when the rest of the Manor was sealed. It contains three sets of stairs connecting different areas of the Manor, and connects with the the Partitioned Room, the Room with Blind, the Stained Corridor and the 3F Storeroom.
There is also a door leading out onto the Grave Courtyard roof. It is blocked by a chest until Hour X, but Kei Amakura can push the chest aside as part of the Echo Stone Earring sidequest.
Tengai Narumi and Nirei Moriya pursued Shrine Carpenters into the Stairs Hallway during the massacre to create Sacrificial Pillars. At least one carpenter was murdered there, and another fled out onto the roof.
