Room 8 is a room in Blue Prince that you can only unlock with Key 8 on rank 8. You’ll find that key by solving the Gallery puzzle(s).
In Room 8, you’ll have to puzzle out clues on eight animal statues and place them in eight bins labeled with sins.
Our Blue Prince guide will show you how to solve the Room 8 puzzle and tell you what you get as a reward.
How to solve the Room 8 puzzle in Blue Prince
Room 8 is a pretty exact match for the final painting in the Gallery. You’ll find a big infinity symbol in the center of the room surrounded by bins labeled with sins. There’s a painting of a fin on the left wall, and a rug (skin) on the floor (those are both clues you’ll need).
To the left of the door as you walk in, you’ll find eight animal statues with phrases on them.
Solving the puzzle in Room 8 is a simple (ha!) as placing the eight animal statues in the boxes their clue describes. Several of them have clues that point to multiple bins, though.
The clues are:
- Penguin: The sum of my sin, as it is penned, is a number within the room we are in
- Lion: To first begin, place me within a bin with an “N” within its sin
- Swan: I recommend you think again if I am ever in a bin far from the fin
- Dog: You won’t find my bin in between sin, for I deserve to be in a bin down on the end
- Elephant: To my chagrin, my neighbor’s sin is written thin to fit it all in
- Rabbit: I share a trend with my neighbor’s sin: a letter and its twin appear on each bin
- Bear: If we spend a min or ten lounging in the den, you’ll know which bin I’m often in
- Monkey: The bin I tend to wind up in is near the bend in the tail of the skin
Room 8 solution in Blue Prince
You have to jump around a bit, but the list of clues only has one answer when you take them all together.
Four of the clues point to only one bin:
- Penguin – GLUTTONY. This is the only sin with eight (sideways infinity) letters.
- Monkey – HUBRIS. The bin next to the tail of the skin (rug).
- Dog – MUNDANITY. Since the Monkey is in HUBRIS, the Dog has to go in MUNDANITY at the other end of the row of bins.
- Bear – SLOTH. The bear’s clue is all about just hanging out and relaxing.
With those four in place, you can place two more:
- Lion – ENVY. With those three out of the way, only one empty sin has an “N.”
- Swan – LUST. This is the only bin left that is close to the painting of the fin.
The last two have a bit more logic involved:
- Rabbit – AVARICE. AVARICE is next to MUNDANITY — which both have a repeated (twin) letter (A and N, respectively).
- Elephant – WRATH. Aside from being the only empty bin, AVARICE is next to Gluttony with its (fittingly) narrow letters.
