Hello im new to blender and UE4, ive made a high poly sculpt and a low poly model of a character in Blender 2.78  
I baked the normals from the high poly sculpt and imported the low poly model to UE4 and added the normal map to it  
but ive got some dark areas and i don’t know why, here are some pics
