By Are you in search of the Repellent in Blue Prince? It’s one of the most elusive items in the game, and also one of the most beneficial as it enables you to reposition the Foundation. Our guide includes all the necessary information to assist you in your gameplay.
How to acquire the Repellent in Blue Prince – Foundation location guide
The Repellent possesses a clever effect. When it’s in your inventory, pressing “X” within a room in the manor will eliminate that room from the house and your drafting options for one week.
Bear in mind, it won’t function for every room—i.e., the Entrance Hall and Antechamber are exempt from its effects. Nevertheless, it proves to be invaluable when you take into account one other lasting element in your mansion: The Foundation.
In summary: The Repellent is presently the sole way to move the Foundation in Blue Prince.
Locations of the Repellent
You can acquire the Repellent in Blue Prince in two ways:
- Lost and Found – Given that the Repellent is a scarce item, it has a low probability of appearing in the Lost and Found:
- The Lost and Found is an unlockable Floorplan in the game.
- You forfeit two items from your inventory each time you enter it, so be cautious.
- Foundation (outer room) – Alternatively, you may draft the Foundation as an outer room. Follow these steps:
- Unlock the West Gate Path by opening the Garage Door and unfastening the latch from the gate.
- Draft the Shrine as an outer room and obtain the Blessing of the Monk, allowing you to draft manor rooms as outer rooms if you finish the day in them.
- Conclude the day while in the Foundation area.
- The following day, draft the Foundation as an outer room.
Since the Foundation is a permanent room with a fixed location, it will consistently be available as an outer room option. Thankfully, Mrs. Babbage will leave a letter in the Entrance Hall, amusing you for your unconventional drafting method. She’ll also place a Repellent on the table.
If you opt to utilize the Repellent on the Foundation, it will vanish. You can simply call it a day for an entire week in-game. After this time, it should reappear in your drafting pool, allowing you to place it in a different location.
Reasons to relocate the Foundation
There’s a compelling reason to consider moving the Foundation in Blue Prince. Perhaps the initial location you chose is not ideal. If you’ve placed it in rank/row six or beyond, it’s closer to the Antechamber/Room 46, but it also means you have to draft a path to it. Since it’s a permanent room that doesn’t reset, this could become cumbersome in your future attempts due to randomness/RNG.
Ultimately, the choice is yours. Just consider the Repellent as an option if navigating to a Foundation that’s further away turns into a frustrating challenge.
