I'm loving it, but definitely also constantly second guessing whether I'm smart enough for this game haha. Especially when you come across a problem and can't work out whether you're supposed to wait for the clue/solution to turn up later or whether it's something you're supposed to be able to solve but are being too stupid to notice/connect.

How far in are you in terms of Days/time played. I'm at about 12 hours and 12 days played.

[-] chloyster@beehaw.org 2 points 4 days ago

I think I'm at day 21 or 22. Made it to the antechamber for the first time yesterday. Not sure hours played atm

[-] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 2 points 4 days ago

I could probably have made the antechamber last night if I had picked up a pair of dice I missed and found on the way back. But I'm kind of glad I didn't as there is so much unexplored and unexplained still.

[-] chloyster@beehaw.org 2 points 4 days ago

I will say the antechamber is just the beginning of the end game stuff. There's a lot more to go after making it inside

[-] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 2 points 4 days ago

I presumed as much based on clues and indicators I've been finding.

[-] chloyster@beehaw.org 2 points 2 days ago

Just rolled credits! Really amazing. But there's still sooooooooo much more

[-] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

I just got

spoilerdown to the basement

and I'm shocked at how much there is. I thought I was going to get somewhere this run.

spoilerI look like I'm stuck, I assume the gear puzzle can't be solved first time? I can't figure out how to move the mine cart. And maybe drain the reservoir? Is this supposed to happen? It looks like there is another entrance from the Tomb (though I've never even seen a tomb when drafting!). Am I on to something? Am I not supposed to be able to get further this run?

[-] chloyster@beehaw.org 2 points 2 days ago

small hintYeah I've also never seen a tomb while drafting, but there is one other entrance that the map shows. Have you found the pump room?

[-] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 2 points 2 days ago

spoilerThe Fountain right? I assume it's on the east side lawn, but I haven't found any way to open a door to the outside on the east side. I've been through the Garage on the west side.

I have found the pump room and drained as much of the reservoir as I could, but there is still a touch of water at the bottom preventing me from going down there and both tanks are full, as are all rooms. No idea how to empty the last bit. I thought it was opening the tap in the kitchen to drain the water, but that doesn't seem to affect the water level...

[-] chloyster@beehaw.org 2 points 2 days ago

another small fountain hintThe fountain isn't where you think. And is much more accessible. Calling it a fountain is a bit much to be frank. If you were to drain it I think you would see what it's referring to

[-] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 2 points 2 days ago

spoilerDrained the fountain, now I need the basement key again. Still don't know how to get the chests at the bottom of the reservoir as I don't know how to drain the final bit. Maybe pump room needs to be next to boiler room to get the last tank in play? I'm starting to see I'm going to need to get through insane amounts of RNG to finish. I already basically concluded I probably need the boiler room adjacent to the lab to get the lever machine working.

I also am tearing my hair out about the

spoilerdrawing room safe code. The other safes had the clue in the same room but for the life of me I can't figure out the paintings with the steps.

[-] chloyster@beehaw.org 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

spoilerOh damn I haven't unlocked any of the safes yet. I need to work on that. Also for the boiler it doesn't have to be immediately next to what you're trying to power. They just need to be connected by rooms that also have vents going through them. The passageway and the security room for instance are 2 I know that have them. Look out for rooms that have vents going through the top to each door

[-] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 2 points 1 day ago

spoilerWait didn't you roll credits? That's very interesting that you did that without opening any safe...

Anyway thank you so much for your responses, they've been perfect hints without being too spoily, which is a hard thing to pull off! I might bug you again at some point, we'll see what I accomplish today.

Actually, maybe we need a Blue Prince community...

[-] chloyster@beehaw.org 2 points 1 day ago

Yeah it's surprising how little you actually need to roll credits. Also no problem! Happy to help :)

[-] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 1 points 1 day ago

Just rolled credits. Really strange actually haha. There are so many unsolved mysteries! I feel like I'm close to piecing together the narrative but I'm still missing crucial pieces.

[-] chloyster@beehaw.org 2 points 1 day ago

Congrats! Yeah there's sooooo much left to discover. Definitely try and make it back to room 46 again. There's a lot in there to point you in new directions :)

[-] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 2 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

Good lord there is so much still to do haha! Every time I think I've seen most of the puzzles a new secret bottom opens up to an entirely new layer. I'm loving putting together the narrative but my god some of the puzzles didn't work for me (I had to look up a couple of hints - would never have organically gotten them). How have you been progressing with the safes?

[-] chloyster@beehaw.org 2 points 7 hours ago

Doing well! I got the clue written out that tells you how to solve the safes. Have opened 3 now I think. Also have two of the sanctum keys. I've been continually coat checking the gear wrench so I can someday make the boiler room common.... But I've yet to find it again lol. I'm trying to hook up the pump room so I can drain the reservoir.

[-] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 2 points 6 hours ago

One of the safe solutions really pissed me off. Which ones do you have? I have six, no clue where the last one is supposed to be.

Are you looking to fully drain the reservoir? That's the only thing you need boiler power connected for I think, provided you have the Tomb open.

The sanctum thing is so frustrating too, still haven't solved my first sigil though I know what to look for now I guess. Still haven't made it back to room 46 a second time either, RNG has been hitting badly. Maybe that will help.

[-] chloyster@beehaw.org 2 points 6 hours ago

I think I only have 2 actually thinking about it. I have the boudoir safe and time release safe from the shelter. I think I know how to open the office safe though. Yes I want to fully drain the reservoir and getting the boiler again had been a pain. I also got the tomb for the first time yesterday and opened that entrance to the basement too. The sanctum things, yeah I know generally what is needed but the clues needed are eluding me. Though I think I found one at the top of the clock tower. The main thing in room 46 is a list of where all the sanctum keys are. There is another puzzle in there involving a map but I haven't figured that out yet.

Also really want to get to classroom 8. I've only been able to make it to 5 so far

[-] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 2 points 5 hours ago

I've only gotten 3 classrooms I think, taking notes on the subjects though! I also think the first classroom helps with the sigil puzzle. Have you lit all the braziers?

Btw I just had to call it a day with 2 sanctum keys in my inventory. Had to take Weight Room twice.

[-] chloyster@beehaw.org 2 points 5 hours ago

Oh my god that sucksssss. Yeah the first one does help with the sigils I think. Grade 4 does too. I also started getting a bunch of letters delivered to the mail room but they're like basically just solutions to early puzzles I already figured out

[-] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 2 points 5 hours ago

It was even 2 RNG heavy ones but I was forced to take Weight Room twice (thanks Hall of Mirrors!) so I couldn't make it downstairs. Worst feeling I've had in a game in a long time actually. I honestly think sanctum keys could be permanent without the game being too easy.

[-] chloyster@beehaw.org 2 points 3 hours ago

Yeah I def think that would be a fine change. Though when you actually unlock the doors they stay open thankfully so that's something
