Follow the sequence from your save
Puzzle spoilers. Gamer Social Club's illustrated walkthrough describes the elevator sequence as randomized. A video creator's floor order is therefore not a universal solution.
- Obtain the Black Candle after the TV-room sequence.
- Combine the candle with the Lighter; an unlit candle is not the same prerequisite.
- Use the lit candle while inside the elevator.
- Open the Old Book and read the recorded color order from top to bottom.
- Visit the matching floors in that order. Successful progress corrupts the elevator and eventually exposes floor -1.
| Color in your book | Floor to select |
|---|---|
| Blue | 3 |
| Green | 2 |
| Red | 1 |
| White | Ground / 0 |
If nothing changes
Write your sequence as a short list before entering any floors. Mark each choice after making it, rather than trying to remember both the color and your current position. If interrupted, check which entries you actually completed before copying a different route.
The prerequisites and mapping above come from one secondary walkthrough, not our own playthrough. We have not established a special reset command or recovery for a corrupted save. If your book or elevator differs, retain a screenshot and your installed version when reporting the mismatch; do not treat a remembered sequence as evidence that your save is broken.
