The Throne Room<\/strong> is a found floorplan in Blue Prince<\/a><\/em>. It\u2019s a late-game room and doesn\u2019t really come into play until after you reach Room 46<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Finding the Throne Room<\/strong> floorplan involves adding one of the game\u2019s Permanent Additions<\/a> to the estate, Blackbridge Grotto<\/strong>. Once you unlock and draft the Throne Room, it\u2019ll set you onto a new set of mysteries.<\/p>\n

Our Blue Prince<\/em> guide will show you how to unlock the Throne Room<\/strong> and explain everything you can do with it.<\/p>\n

[Ed. note:<\/strong> This guide contains spoilers for Blue Prince<\/em>.]<\/p>\n

How to unlock the Throne Room floorplan in Blue Prince<\/h2>\n

\"Blue<\/p>\n

Unlocking the Throne Room<\/strong> floorplan involves a couple other puzzles. First, you\u2019ll have to open Blackbridge Grotto by powering up the Laboratory<\/a> via the Boiler Room<\/a> and solving the two puzzles inside.<\/p>\n

Then, you\u2019ll have to find all three Microchips<\/a> to open the door in the grotto.<\/p>\n

\"Blue<\/p>\n

On the other side of that door in Blackbridge Grotto, you\u2019ll find the blueprint.<\/p>\n

\n

How to draft the Throne Room<\/strong> in Blue Prince<\/h2>\n

Picking up the Throne Room floorplan permanently adds it to your draft pool. There don\u2019t seem to be any restrictions on where it is placed either east-west or on its rank. Drafting it costs 5 gems<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Blue<\/p>\n

The inside of the throne room is disappointingly simple. The first time you enter, you\u2019ll find a Sanctum Key<\/strong> to the right. That\u2019s next to a king chess piece<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Blue<\/p>\n

Beyond that, the only other thing to interact with is a lever behind the throne. That will open the northern door inside the Antechamber<\/a> (which will save you having to trek down to the Underground the next time you want to visit Room 46<\/a>).<\/p>\n

\n

What to do in the Throne Room in Blue Prince<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Throne Room\u2019s description simply says, \u201cReclaim the crown.\u201d<\/strong> Doing so, however, is anything but simple.<\/p>\n

\"Blue<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve read Lady Epsen\u2019s Diary<\/a><\/strong>, you\u2019ll know that it\u2019s possible to draft the Antechamber<\/a><\/strong> in the Outer Room<\/a>. Doing so requires you to have the Blessing of the Monk<\/strong> from the Shrine<\/a><\/strong> and<\/em> you\u2019ll have to call it a day<\/strong> in the Antechamber<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Blue<\/p>\n

When you draft the Antechamber<\/a> over along the West Path<\/a> and then open the north door, you\u2019ll find a new note that (finally) gives you your clue: “Steady is the scepter, deadly is the stone, heavy is the crown, ready is the throne.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

Where to find the scepter in Blue Prince<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The scepter<\/strong> is the hardest of the three items to collect. It\u2019s the culmination of an estate-spanning puzzle that will likely (definitely) take you multiple in-game days.<\/p>\n

\"Blue<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll have to take a Power Hammer<\/strong> (Sledgehammer + Battery Pack + Broken Lever in the Workshop) to the room with the chess puzzle<\/a> in the Precipice. That will reveal a pair of clues.<\/p>\n

That will send you looking for fragments of a code spread across multiple rooms that will ultimately lead you back to the chess puzzle room. There, you\u2019ll have to perform a castle<\/strong> (the chess move) by solving the chess puzzle twice \u2014 selecting either the king or the rook the first time, and the other the second.<\/p>\n

Then, you\u2019ll have to solve a series of Mora Jai<\/a> puzzles in the next room for another<\/em> series of clues that tell you to be back in this room with no items, money, gems, or keys at a specific time.<\/p>\n

AND THEN<\/em>, you\u2019ll have to put the code you constructed into practice and solve a clock puzzle by entering three different times. That will get you the Key of Aries<\/strong> that unlocks a special chest that only appears if you draft the Treasure Trove<\/strong> in the Outer Room<\/a> (via the Blessing of the Monk).<\/p>\n

That is where you\u2019ll find the scepter<\/strong>. Whew.<\/p>\n

\n

Where to find the stone in Blue Prince<\/h2>\n

\"Blue<\/p>\n

The stone referred to in the clue is related to the \u201cThe Curse of Black Bridge\u201d<\/strong> book that you can buy in the Bookshop<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Blue<\/p>\n

Once you buy it and request if from the Library, it quietly adds an item to the Mount Holly Gift Shop<\/strong> (that only unlocks after you\u2019ve been to Room 46 for the first time). The next time you draft the gift shop, you can buy the Cursed Coffers<\/strong> for the appropriate amount of 13 coins<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Blue<\/p>\n

This adds the coffers \u2014 a gothed-out chest \u2014 to the Shrine<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Head to the Shrine with a Sledgehammer (a key won\u2019t work). You\u2019ll get two warnings about what a bad idea it is (just like the story), but smash it open and pick up the Cursed Effigy<\/strong> (you fool).<\/p>\n

This unlocks Curse Mode (and curses you). For two days, you\u2019ll:<\/p>\n
