Detonator Handle Location in Amnesia: The Bunker
The Detonator Handle is a very late-game item and hence, it is kept hidden in order to produce a challenging experience for players. Players are expected to watch their back as the beast/stalker is always prowling around the bunker, making it increasingly difficult for players who are near the game’s completion.

to find the missing detonator handle, players need to complete these objectives:
Way To The Save Point
Starting from the Arsenal, players can notice a rundown pathway to the tunnels, which conveniently have space among the rubble for the players to get through. Upon crawling through the rubble, use the bolt cutters on the locked gate. This lets players access a path to a water pump and then, flooded water. Swim across to the other end where the power lever is hidden behind a crate.

Upon moving the crate, turn on the power lever and make the water pump functional again. Return to the water pump and activate it to drain the flooded storage area. At the very back of the storage room, players can find a metal box and a wooden plank that block the way to the tunnel beyond.
Upon dealing with these obstructions by moving them separately, the player can enter thedark tunnelwhich leads to an open area with a camp. Players can safely save their game thanks to the light in the camp. They’llbe facing trapsand challenging adversaries soon, in order to obtain the detonator handle.
Killing The Unhinged Soldier
From the camp, proceed right to the seemingly broken wall, following that path leads to an eerie walkway. Following it in a linear path exposes unnerving visuals of a man’s silhouette among the fleeting fog. Approaching it leads to its vanishing, but upon opening the door, the figure reveals itself to the players. It can be heard screaming and shooting a rat when one enters the room through a hole.
In that room, an unhinged French soldier decided to blind himself due to the horrors of the Roman ruins outside the bunker. He remains there while carrying a shotgun, and shoots anything that makes a noise. Remain vigilant in his presence, since any sound will trigger him and make him target the protagonist.
Players can deal with him using a grenade, a clear shot to the head with a handgun bullet, or by completely avoiding him. Avoiding him can progress players towardsthe Pacifist achievement, but you should get rid of him to clear any dangerous encounters while returning.
Upon killing the French soldier, hedrops his shotgun, which can prove to be a powerful weapon against the Stalker which lurks around the bunker. Players also destroy wooden furniture or even bridges with the shotgun.

Moving forward, players can relax since the monster cannot follow them through the Roman ruins. There are two doors left. One requires unlocking, while the other wooden door can be broken down with a grenade or nearby bricks. This is the room where players can finally take the explosive detonator handle for themselves.The handle is resting on a small crate.
A dog tag can be found further into the area where a hole in the wall is blocked by debris. Move the debris aside and collect the dog tag to unlock a part of the game’s lore. The rabbit toy, an essential item for distracting the stalker, can also be found near a hidden crater in the area.
However, this is not the route back to the Arsenal. On the left side of the initial area where players found the detonator, there is a door to another area with large boxes and a ledge back to the Arsenal. Stack these boxes neatly on the ledge to jump onto the other side, from where the player first entered the area.
Amnesia: The Bunkeris available for PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Xbox Series S/X.
