The Stained Corridor is an area in the Manor of Sleep in Fatal Frame III.

Background Info

The Stained Corridor is part of the Kuze Shrine, and was constructed after the Unleashing, as part of efforts to halt the spread of the Rift. It connects with the Stairs Hallway, Grave Courtyard and Underground Passage.

The corridor is hung with sacred rope and paper, and has strange human-shaped stains on the walls. There is a hole in the eastern wall with a hand protruding from it. Shrine Carpenters who constructed the Manor were sacrificed and entombed in the walls to give strength to the seals containing the Rift. The Stained Corridor marks the boundary of the Shrine of Sleep.

Sacrificial Pillar Room

In the centre of the Stained Corridor is a small, square room with a tatami floor. It was in this room that the Master Builder, Tengai Narumi, committed suicide to become the final Sacrificial Pillar and serve as a cornerstone.
