Blue Prince is an engaging puzzle game where players embark on a quest to unlock numerous rooms and ultimately discover the elusive Room 46. To achieve the status of your great uncle’s true heir, you’ll need to navigate through various rooms, solving puzzles along the way and collecting essential items.
Among the collectibles in the game are Stars, procured exclusively from the secret Observatories. While gathering these Stars may seem straightforward, leveraging them effectively for rewarding benefits can be less apparent to new players.
Unlocking Constellations in the Observatory
The Observatories house a book that lists all the Constellations available in Blue Prince. Stars serve as a unique currency that you carry across Days, allowing you to accumulate them for various advantages as you progress. A total of eleven Constellations can be unlocked during your journey.
- North Star: 1 Star, grants +1 gold Blue Prince coin.
- The Twins: 2 Stars, unlocks two Blue Prince locked trunks in the starting area.
- The Slice: 3 Stars, provides +3 bonus steps.
- Diamondus Minor: 4 Stars, awards +1 gem.
- The Southern Cross: 5 Stars, increases frequency of four-door rooms.
- Farmer’s Apple: 7 Stars, enhances step gain from apples by +5.
- Clavis, the Key: 8 Stars, adds +1 key to your inventory.
- Diamondus Major: 11 Stars, rewards +5 Blue Prince gems.
- Draxus, the Dead: 12 Stars, makes Dead End rooms more prevalent.
- The Sail: 15 Stars, applies a 50% discount in stores.
- Florealla, Bloom of the Sky: 20 Stars, increases chances of finding special flowers in green rooms.
For Stars not specifically listed, you will receive a combination of two lower-ranked Constellations that equals your total. For instance, acquiring nine Stars could yield a combination of Diamondus Minor and The Southern Cross.
Acquiring and Utilizing Stars in Blue Prince
Each time you explore an Observatory for the first time, you’ll earn one Star permanently. This Star remains with you throughout your gaming session, and you do not expend it when claiming the associated rewards.
To utilize the Stars you’ve gathered, simply adjust the telescope in the Observatory to point through the ceiling’s opening. This involves turning the wheel upstairs once to elevate the telescope, then continuing to crank it until it’s oriented correctly. Once aligned, looking through the telescope’s eyepiece grants you your daily advantages.
