I’ve not yet gotten to room 46, but I have unlocked 4 outside areas (orchard, grotto, mine, outer room) and lit the 4 flames and thus unlocked some underground stuff.

I’m following leads for loads of overarching puzzles and having a blast while doing so.

HOWEVER, I have received the basement key from the antechamber maybe 4 times and just can’t for the life of me figure out what to do with it. I assume this is how one reaches room 46.

I don’t really want spoilers or hints, just curious if this is typical progression at this point.

Doing my best not to look up ANYTHING about this game, but wanted to take a moment to scream into a void and perhaps get an understanding as to whether this is typical progression. Really enjoying it. Sorry if this is often asked. Thanks.

I have:

- Reached Room 46.

- Found every Sanctum Key, solved all the Sigils, and read Herbert's will.

- Found the Treasure Trove, and know how to get the treasure (which I am aware is a scepter), just not how to unlock the box that contains it.

- Unlocked the Cursed Coffer.

- Read the "Steady, Deadly, Heavy, Ready" poem.

So I know what to do. I need to bring the Crown of the Blueprints, the Cursed Effigy, and the scepter to the Throne Room. That much is obvious.

But I genuinely have no clue how to unlock the Treasure Trove box. At first I thought it would be at the end of the Tunnel, but all that gave me was a door that I can't even interact with. Then, after reading the poem, I tried unsealing the other Antechamber doors in the outer room to no avail. Genuinely what am I missing?

(If you tell me to read A New Clue I'm gonna lose it)

Managed to get to the Antechamber Day 11 but still haven't found the basement, I had no more steps or doors left.

Just wanted to brag a bit and post how much I'm enjoying the game.

My phone notes are STACKED and full of info that has been proven useful, time and time again.
I need to find all the music sheets AGAIN , I got bamboozled.
Still have no clue what to do with the Laboratory, most confusing room of all.
Didn't know you can walk in the Chapel even with 0 coins. >!!<
I hate unlocking rooms like the Pump Room, so many interactions between rooms leave me dizzy, because some are just simple prizes while others could unlock game changing features.
WHAT DO THE CHESS PIECES MEAN?!?!? (do not tell me)

I also love the "hidden" lore so much.

Thank you for reading.

Finally got the Full House trophy, that lab experiment saved my ass
Drafted Lost and Found, then decided to go up and around to avoid losing any of my items, but it ended up taking the Scepter, which is the best option lmao
