      I just got

      spoiler

      down to the basement

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

      spoiler

      I 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?

        small hint

        Yeah 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?

          The 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…

            another small fountain hint

            The 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

              Drained 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

              spoiler

              drawing 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.

                Oh 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

                  Wait 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…
