Here are some best tips and tricks for Blue Prince that will help you master the game and solve its most intricate puzzles and mysteries.
Blue Prince has innovated the puzzle genre through its roguelike gameplay and method of storytelling, and has the community still stumped about many of its mysteries. However, starting out in Blue Prince might be daunting, as is the case with most roguelikes. Being a puzzle game, it showcases itself to be even deeper than what you initially thought, yet still exceeds your expectations as you slowly reveal the mysteries of Mt. Holly. Here are the best tips and tricks for mastering Blue Prince.
Best Tips and Tricks for Mastering Blue Prince
Blue Prince might look confusing at the start, but these tips and tricks will help you in your multiple playthroughs as you explore Mt. Holly:
Draft New Rooms
Always try to draft new rooms, as they might contain solutions to puzzles in other rooms and help you understand the lore of Blue Prince. New rooms will give you a better perspective on what you can do in the game. Blue Prince gives you subtle hints, and drafting new rooms helps you unravel everything gradually.
Check Every Nook and Corner
Always try to explore every nook and cranny in your drafted rooms, as they might contain items and gems that will help you through the day. Item, gem, and coin drops are random, so you never know what you will find in the next room.
Take Screenshots
Blue Prince, being a roguelike puzzle game, is pretty vast. So, you might not remember information that becomes relevant later on while drafting new rooms and exploring new puzzles. Remember to take screenshots of documents and visual clues that you think might help you pull back the curtain on Blue Prince.
Get Used to the Roguelike Elements
The inclusion of RNG in the game means you might not be very lucky during certain days. However, you can always counter this by drafting new rooms, as there is a map pool in the game. You can determine your next day’s exploration based on the previous day. If you ever feel stuck, just skip to the next day, as there are no repercussions for doing so. Take it slow, as Blue Prince treats its story in a more souls-like manner, telling you its tale through documents and items scattered throughout its rooms and more.
Dead Ends Are Common in the Early Game
The early part of Blue Prince might seem very confusing, and dead-end rooms will be common. However, as you explore more, you will find certain mechanics in the game that help you become the architect of Mt. Holly. Drafting dead-end rooms during your present day also helps remove them the next day. Some dead-end rooms are necessary, like the closet, which contains items, or the utility room, which contains clues to solving puzzles in various other rooms.
Don’t Rush to the End
The antechamber that shows up at the top of your blueprint might seem like the end goal, but Blue Prince is a puzzle game at its core. Rushing toward the antechamber early on will only make your game harder and will discourage you once you reach it. As you move upward, you will require more keys to open doors and draft new rooms. So, take it easy and fill out the grid slowly. Exploring in this game is rewarded, and the goal might not really be the one that is shown.
Conserve Your Gems and Keys
As you progress through the game, gem and key management become crucial to unlocking clues, as you will frequently reach rank 4 or higher each day. The higher the rank, the higher the chance of doors being locked. Most of the important rooms in the game will require gems to draft. So, always draft rooms that contain keys and gems to ensure you have a stockpile ready for the higher ranks.
Take a Tour Outside the Manor
Blue Prince might present itself as a game all about inheriting Mt. Holly, but you will inherit the entire estate, not just the manor. Make sure to explore the outside areas too, as they do not require extra steps and might contain hidden items and clues. One of the most important permanent upgrades in the game is located outside Mt. Holly. However, you will need to explore the rooms to unlock it.
