The Butchery Part 3 Basement Layout

To find the centipede key, you have to descend the hallway into the basement. Go back and pick up the torch from the room if you haven’t already. The first room in the basement is the red room, where a cow monster is on the table. The Centipede Key is in its stomach.

Here is a list of all of the rooms and what you need from them:
