So I have >!110 unique rooms!<, all drafted, none greyed out, all have a number next to them for amount of times drafted.

Room 46 and antechamber don’t say drafted, but I’ve been to room 46 a whole bunch of times.

Has this happened to anyone?

I >!don’t have all upgrade disks, is this required?!<

The last room I drafted was >!room 8, but there was no trophy in there and I’ve since called it a day, nothing in the entrance hall either!<

Dear Drafters,

We haven't had an update in a while, so here's a couple of things I'd like to highlight/discuss.

1. Please do not engage with Scammers. There are bot-automated posts every now and again that are very difficult to catch automatically. They will post merch like in these pictures and lead you to an unverified site when you engage with them. Please only trust the affiliated merchandise sites.

BEWARE OF BOT POSTS - PLEASE DO NOT ENGAGE

2. I'm going to make a new puzzle-hint Megathread in a moment, and I'd like to make a public call for fan-made tools to pin to the Megathreads. For example Sekti's "Blue Paths" online tool to help when you get stuck. Please post any such tools you know of or have made yourself in the comments. I will manually inspect them before pinning them. Please be absolutely sure that the tool itself does not introduce spoilers.

Also make sure they don't violate Rule 5

3. For community engagement let me remind you all to join the official Discord: http://discord.gg/BluePrince If you ever made fan-art, be sure to post it in their fan-art channel.

4. I'd like to have a discussion regarding posts about making it across a certain threshold: >!reaching room 46!< in particular. Maybe we shouldn't immediately say the sentence with the word >!tutorial!<, as it's not a nice thing to hear after getting this achievement. If you must say it, maybe say something nice as well. I understand the desire to >!encourage them to keep playing!< but maybe there's a more positive way of phrasing that.

I'm considering banning that word altogether, but as usual I'm happy to listen to the voices of the community. So please tell me, especially if you've been on the receiving end of that particular comment, how appropriate you thought that was. I genuinely don't know at this point. Consider Rule 4, both regarding the topic and how to respond here.

This is the fourth version of the puzzle hints megathread. As indicated and discussed here, we will make a new one every now and again, to make sure the threads don't go stale and no one replies anymore, apologies for the long drought.

As indicated here, we will begin collecting community tools. Please consult part 2 of that post for details and suggest the tools over there.

This game is out of this world! (Pun intended)

If you look directly up from the telescope in the observatory, there's an orrery (solar system model) that only has 4 planets.

Are the continents on the spinning globes different from Earth as well?

I'm at day 62 and just got the machine in the laboratory powered up, and so I started thinking of a solution. My ass started researching the elements electrical conductivity and turning the levers corresponding to the elements on the poster in the room instead of just doing the (probably) most logical thing. Also my game bugged and the cutscene just froze forever so RIP to ny progress.

Hi I m strating to get really frustrated sometime i can easly get to the antechamber and sometime i have a lot of ressource and the game just decide to f me over with only dead end for multiple day

I have the perfect game i just needed a lock door on the side and i had NO LOCK DOOR for rank 6 7 8 AND 9

Does the game just hate me ?

Hey everyone, this is my first time posting here - so I hope the title is vague enough to be of little interest to players yet to reach the later stages of the game, but clear enough that it is obvious for those that know which puzzle I am hoping to discuss.

I have seen a couple of other threads regarding the >!family core!< but unfortunately, I don't think I have found anything that answers my question beyond my understanding of what is in the game.

As the title mentions, I have already >!located the note that contains the family core!<. I have already tried solving this puzzle on my own >!using excel so that I can use formulas and display the ridiculous number of possibilities for the 25 equations in one place!<.

Based on the in-game information I have been relying on - primarily >!the sheet(s) of paper that can be found underground!<, my understanding is that >!you need to take the smallest possible answer (being an integer/whole number) as the solution when deciphering each set of four numbers!<.

When I had >!substituted the 25 numbers (which I had seen as the smallest whole numbers) with the respective letters, I was confused as there wasn't a clear message or even a clue of what to do next!<. After checking >!the one website with the helpful to-dos and clues!<, I learned that I had >!about half of the numbers/letters wrong compared to the intended answer for the puzzle!<. This was obviously a surprise as I had (as far as I know) already >!taken the smallest possible whole number from deciphering every word (e.g. there are a few words/sets of numbers that gave me a 1/A)!<.

Is there anything else in the game that I have failed to consider? I would like to know how other people avoided the issue I am having and if there is a clear mistake I have made. I will be more than happy to admit if I have missed something obvious, since I have already done that many times in my 276 (and counting) days in this beautiful game!

I know I am being intentionally vague with my post, so please feel free to ask questions if you need any more info on what I have or haven't done in trying to understand all this.

TL:DR - Is there something that I have missed regarding how I should have approached this?

So my to-do list is kinda a mess right now so I apologize in advance if I'm all over the place. I'll try my best to describe what I've done so I can see if I'm on the right track.

I have 7 red letters. I've opened 6(?) sanctum doors and solved them all. I've broken every wall and lit every torch I'm aware of. I've found and drafted the >!Throne Room!< blueprint but whatever I'm supposed to do there I haven't yet done. I FINALLY unlocked the >!Ladyship's Chamber diary, saw a sketch of the Antechamber on the last page and!<, through the power of the Blessing of the Monk and Google (I was NEVER figuring that out on my own), drafted the >!Antechamber as an outside room and found the note about the scepter, crown, etc.!<

I assume >!the Crown is the blue crown in Room 46 and not the red one in the Closed Exhibit. I have no clue what or where the Scepter is, and the stone I can only assume is the cursed stone thing in the Shrine.!< Am I correct in assuming I have to bring all those items to the >!Throne Room?!< Because that feels almost impossible unless I'm missing something.

Should I focus on opening the two remaining Sanctum doors? Or find the last red letter? I recall one of >!Alzara's visions mentioning a red letter I wouldn't find!<, is that the one I'm missing or is that something else? I feel like I'm approaching the end (I could be totally wrong there) but I'm kinda at a loss at the order I should be tackling everything in. Just looking for some general pointers and I'll try to clarify any questions you may have about my progress, I'm sure I forgot to mention some stuff because I feel like I'm keeping mental inventory of half a dozen threads at once.

Sorry for the excessive spoiler tags, better safe than sorry 🫡

Applied MajorSpoiler warning as I am not too sure.

The game is genuinely frustrating, I can count on my hand the number of things I have solved for myself. Being the Garage, the VAC lights, the Orchard Garden, code for the terminals and the elevator of the foundations.

Everything else, tomb, the laboratory, the boiler room, the pools, the billards room, safe codes, the blue flames, the door under the foundations, the sheet music, planetarium, the antechamber itself, the tunnels, workshop combinations, the stupid puzzle box in the traders outpost and a few other things that I am neglecting to mention.

I feel I need toat this point look up absolutely everything at this point. All because I am too damn stupid. On day 26 and nothing makes sense at all. I feel 90% of the notes are redherrings and mostly lore text to waste your time.

I am just drawing blanks constantly and hit this mindless wandering till I want to put my controller through the TV.

The only thing I have down is key, coin and gem managment so I can get to the antechamber, thats about it.

Ive looked up a few things but I do not want to do that, so my frustration and vent aside.

What is a good approach to this game to actually see most of it through without caving to a guide?

SPOILER WARNING The below post regards a puzzle pertaining to a certain diary.

This is a bit of a weird post but I wanted to know how hard it was for you guys to figure out the puzzle regarding the outer room in Lady Clara's diary (haven't solved it yet so no spoilers). Mostly because I am a very impatient person, so I tend to impulsively click to get hints sometimes, even when maybe I didn't need them, due to the fact I am playing with the blue prince hint system website (BTW dev if you're here, I think the hint might be a bit too obvious)

Initially I thought the sketch might have to do with the antechamber since that's the only room that's drawn like that often, so I tried opening all four antechamber doors and going to the outer room but nothing changed. So I impulsively clicked a hint and it was about the shrine, so I immediately clicked that I needed the blessing of the monk for this one. Now the reason I'm asking how hard it was to figure out for you is because this is the one hint I really regret getting. I think I could have figured this out on my own maybe (are there any other hints for this puzzle?) but now I'll never know and I feel bad about it haha.

Maybe I should stop using hints, but most of the time I used a hint I was like "yeah, no way I'm getting that" or the actual hint in game was in a book I read a long time ago in a room I wouldn't have returned to.

So I’ve finished the puzzles underground, and accessed the lever for Room 46. But I am having the hardest time getting to the Antechamber. Everytime I find one of the three ways to access it, something stops me.

Anyone have pointers on how to be more consistent with it? I’M SO CLOSE TO GG!!!!!!!

I’m actually so upset. I had the run of my life - about to solve the diary, mechanarium sanctum key, castle (king -> knight), and coat checking the crown. With over 100 steps left I went past the 4 fires to go into the tunnel behind the brick wall. The tunnel didn’t load, I stood in the doorway for about 10 seconds. Decided it’ll probably load and fell thru the floor. I’m so sad :(

Edit: king -> rook myb I wasn’t thinking clearly
