This article is about The Dark Pictures Anthology's first installment, Man of Medan .

Keelhaul is a white picture in Man of Medan. It can be found by Fliss in Cargo Hold 2. This picture appears in Ritual.

Overview[]

A white-bordered framed painting. It depicts a kraken attacking a ship during a storm.

Premonition[]

A person tries to drown their opponent in the water while Julia shouts at them to stop.

Outcome[]

The premonition can be fulfilled in Plunged. Upon Alex and Julia falling into the water in Cargo Hold 1, they are rescued by Danny. However, due to hallucinations, Alex attacks Danny and tries to drown the pirate when Julia comes to her senses:

  • If Julia tells Alex to stop or Alex fails to drown Danny, the pirate will swim away.
  • If Julia encourages Alex or Alex drowns Danny, the pirate will lose consciousness, though the protagonists will think he's dead.

Later, in Depths, the two protagonists who went down for the generator will find Olson interrogating Danny.  If conscious, Danny will plead for mercy only to be stabbed in the stomach. Either way, Olson will put Danny's body on a table. In the post-credit scene, it is revealed that Danny survived.

Location[]

The picture can be found on the wall in the lever room of Cargo Hold 2.

Trivia[]

  • The kraken attacking the ship in the painting is a reference to Alex's action in the premonition.
