Welcome to the mind-bending world of *Blue Prince*! If you’re diving into this mysterious manor, getting to the antechamber is one of your first big challenges. It’s super tempting to rush straight to what looks like the final destination, Room 46, but trust me, slowing down and strategizing will take you much further!
You’ll find that accessing the antechamber isn’t merely a walk in the park, especially with the added task of solving puzzles along the way. Here are some tips and tricks to unlock it and enjoy your journey.
Getting into the Antechamber
First off, to unlock the antechamber, you need to find a lever that opens one of its doors. Just placing rooms won’t cut it; you need to make sure you know which lever to pull. Luckily, there are three levers that open different doors:
- The Great Hall – unlocks the door to the east.
- The Greenhouse – unlocks the door to the west.
- The Secret Garden – unlocks the door to the south.
Every time you try to access these rooms, they may appear differently, adding a layer of excitement and unpredictability. So, here’s how to tackle each room!
The Great Hall
There are seven locked doors in the Great Hall, and the lever you need to find is behind one of these doors. You’ll need silver keys to unlock them, with a better chance of finding the lever if you use these special keys. You can find silver keys in the locksmith or the billiard room. Keep exploring until you manage to draft a foyer; this room opens every door, which will save you time and steps.
The Greenhouse
In the Greenhouse, you’ll notice that the lever might be missing the stick. You’ll need to hunt around the mansion for it. So far, I’ve found the broken lever in the workshop and the billiard room. Once you’ve got the lever, activate it to unlock the door to the west side of the antechamber.
The Secret Garden
To enter the Secret Garden, you have to locate the Secret Garden Key, which might be found from places like the locksmith. Once you have it, draft your rooms toward the west side of the map and unlock a door. But remember, the lever won’t be accessible right away! You need to go to the fountain and adjust the weathervane until it points toward the statue to reveal the lever.
Once you get the lever, you’ll unlock the door to the south side of the antechamber, leading to the next phase of your adventure.
Pro Tips to Make Your Journey Easier
- Check every room thoroughly! Some items may spawn randomly, and having a keen eye can save you time.
- Draft rooms wisely. Prioritize areas that unlock multiple paths or doors to maximize your exploration.
- Use coat rooms to store levers or keys for future runs; this way, you won’t have to find them each time you start a new game.
- Dive into the local gaming community! Online forums and social media can be goldmines for discovering tips and sharing your own experiences.
By leveraging these strategies, you’ll not only conquer the challenges of *Blue Prince*, but you’ll also have a blast while doing it! Good luck, and happy exploring!
