The Blue Prince universe features various floorplans that grant players exclusive bonuses or unlock features available only within specific rooms. One such notable space is the Laboratory, which houses a Terminal, several informative notes, and a complex puzzle revolving around the Periodic Table and adjacent levers.
In the context of the Laboratory, you’ll discover the phrase “House Features,”indicating that this is the exclusive venue for initiating Experiments. Mastering the Experiment mechanic, including the potential combinations and their benefits, is essential for maximizing your advantages in gameplay.
Creating Experiments in Blue Prince
To craft Experiments, players must first construct the Laboratory, which entails utilizing one Gem and involves two entrances. Within this room, you will locate one of the four Terminals available in the Mt. Holly Estate, with the others situated in the Security Room, the Office, and the Study.
This exclusive Laboratory Terminal unlocks the Experiments feature, allowing players to set parameters for triggers and effects that define unique House Feature benefits.
To initiate an Experiment, simply interact with the Terminal within the Laboratory (which is conveniently located across from the Periodic Table puzzle) and choose the “Experiment Setup”option. A summary of the Experiment system will appear; click “Continue with Experiment”to view two lists: one for triggers (on the left) and another for effects (on the right).
Conceptualize this as an If-Then scenario: if a specific trigger is met from the list on the left, then the corresponding effect from the right will activate.
Both lists are randomized, presenting a range of valuable temporary House Feature bonuses that are only effective for one day. These bonuses reset when players opt to “Call It A Day.”
-
In the Select [A] column, identify a mechanic you believe you can successfully trigger.
- For instance, if you possess a Shovel, select triggers linked to excavating Dirt Patches; conversely, if you have an Archive, choose a trigger beneficial for drafting Archived rooms.
- You can occasionally opt for “Immediately”instead of a standard trigger, which grants you the chosen effect instantly. Note: this can only be executed once.
-
In the Select [B] column, determine the effect that will arise from your selection in Column [A].
- If you’re short on Keys, opt for an effect that rewards you with Keys. Should you require more Gold for essential purchases, or are running low on Steps, select those effects.
- Additional possibilities include gaining Ivory Dice, generating Locked Trunks, and activating several other effects.
After making your selections for the trigger and effect, click the “COMBINE”button at the screen’s bottom. Then, exit the Terminal to commence your Experiment. From this point forward, fulfilling the trigger conditions will automatically yield your designated effect.
