Mörkö (Finnish for boogeyman) is a mysterious, threatening entity seen in the tunnels below Stalburg. It and the tunnel it patrols are something of an urban legend in Stalburg.
It may be related to The Machine and Andrew Herts, but its purpose and identity are unknown.
Biography[edit | edit source]
Mörkö resembles a humanoid with a black body and elongated fingers, although this is almost imperceptible within the dark of tunnel B2, which it inhabits. However, its mask is clearly visible: white with dirty and bloody streaks, large mouth and eye holes, and a crushed nose. When nearby, Mörkö emits gutteral groans and heavy breathing can be heard.
Story[edit | edit source]
Mörkö's appearances are an anomaly and his purpose is left largely unexplained. Only a few notes make references to the rumors of tunnel B2 and "the underground god". In the bridge hideout in isle3, Elo drew a picture heavily resembling Mörkö's mask and a drawing of Mörkö escorting her to the underground city. The most likely theory is Mörkö is one of the seven "masked men" that guard the Machine and seek its ingredients for Raven Research.
Appearances[edit | edit source]
Bergmann Water Tunnels[edit | edit source]
The earliest sighting of Mörkö is the hallway map (with the 
Achievement).
After entering the tunnel and walking in the only possible direction, the player starts to hear a distorted moan and heavy breathing echoing down the hall. After attempting to open a locked door at the end of the tunnel, Mörkö will be standing right behind Mark, moving its fingers and visibly breathing.
Later on in the Bergmann power plant, a catwalk accessible by the stairs leads to a derelict building overrun with foliage. In a somewhat hidden bathroom, an unsettling mural of Mörkö can be seen.
Bunker[edit | edit source]
Mörkö itself does not appear here, but there are paintings and more murals related to him made by Richard, which can be seen his room.
The first painting portrays Mörkö almost like the Ouroboros, although not completely. Text written along the circular mural reads:
"Underground God is dead. We need an answer! Live!"
The second painting portrays Mörkö as it appears in stormdrain with angelic wings and a green glow in its mouth and eyes.
Additionally, an etched silhouette resembling Mörkö can be seen between room G1 and G2. This is reference in the diary of the scientist who lived next to Richard. Directly behind the wall is the hidden computer room, yet the implications of this are unclear.
Stormdrain[edit | edit source]
The third appearance, and the second time it can be physically seen, is in the MulEx CoPan Coffee Machine area in the map stormdrain. Upon making the "special coffee" (brown and red canisters), Mark's vision will become monochromatic and he'll see a distorted version of Mörkö: it shakes erratically, missing its right arm, and parts of its body look like a damaged machine. The mask's expression has changed to wince as if in pain. Additionally, its mask or face is filled with green mushrooms.
Mine[edit | edit source]
A shadow of Mörkö appears in the abandoned mines section of the powerstation2 map.
The shadow can be seen very briefly seen as Mark approaches a dead end passage where an explorer's note is found and strange labored breathing can be heard. The shadow is formed by a malfunctioning flashlight and will disappear almost immediately as the player begins to enter the tunnel. Using console commands however, one can noclip through to find a semi-transparent Mörkö model that appears when a flashlight, including Marks, shines on it.
Turnip Hill[edit | edit source]
In an apartment on the fourth floor of the first building (the one with the hole in the bathroom wall), there's a locked door at the end of the corridor with mushroom paintings on the wall. Noclipping into this room or unlocking the door with a cheat reveals a room that is empty apart from 36 Mörkö masks mounted on a wall in a 6x6 grid. (Note: Nothing special happens if you walk into this room tripping on mushroom tea)
