Here are all Antechamber lever locations in Blue Prince and how to open the Antechamber.
How to open the Antechamber in Blue Prince
To open the Antechamber in Blue Prince, you need to locate and interact with specific levers scattered throughout the estate, each corresponding to one of the Antechamber’s doors on the east, south, and west sides.

All Antechamber lever locations in Blue Prince
Within Blue Prince, unlocking the Antechamber requires locating and activating several hidden levers scattered throughout the estate. The three primary levers open the doors facing east, south, and west: the east door lever is found by solving the Moon statue puzzle in the Secret Garden; the south door lever is repaired in the Greenhouse; and the west door lever is located behind locked doors in the Great Hall. Beyond these, additional secondary levers exist for each cardinal direction, including a crucial one in the Inner Sanctum beneath the house that unlocks the north-facing door, leading finally to Room 46. Each lever is tied to unique puzzles and challenges, making their discovery a key part of progressing through Blue Prince.
There are three primary levers that open the Antechamber’s east, south, and west-facing doors:
- East door – Solve the Moon statue puzzle in the Secret Garden.
- South door – Fix the lever in the Greenhouse.
- West door – Behind the locked doors in the Great Hall.
[Ed. note: Spoilers follow for Blue Prince.]
There are additional levers that can be found around the estate – one to open the north-facing door and another for each cardinal direction.
When you first enter the Antechamber, you’ll believe that you’ve finally made it to Room 46 – but, of course, because this is Blue Prince, you’re not finished just yet. You’ve made it to the Antechamber, but you’ll need to find a way to unlock the Antechamber’s north-facing door. The answer is yet another lever hidden in the Inner Sanctum underneath the house.
All secondary Antechamber lever locations in Blue Prince
The secondary Antechamber levers in Blue Prince are hidden behind secret or breakable walls in specific rooms across the estate, providing alternate ways to unlock the Antechamber doors. The East Door’s secondary lever is located behind the first secondary door in the Mechanarium, an area with up to eight doors leading to various rooms. For the South Door, the secondary lever is concealed behind a breakable wall in the Weight Room, which can be destroyed using the Power Hammer. The West Door’s secondary lever is found behind a breakable brick wall in the Secret Garden; smashing this wall reveals another valve handwheel that must be turned to access the lever. Lastly, the North Door’s secondary lever is hidden behind the throne in the Throne Room, accessible through a secret floor plan generated within the mansion. These secondary levers are crucial for fully unlocking the Antechamber and progressing to Room 46.
Each Antechamber door – including the door leading to Room 46- has a secondary door hidden somewhere inside the house.
The secondary Antechamber levers can be found in these locations:
- East door – Behind the first “secondary” door in the Mechanarium. The Mechanarium can have up to 8 doors total with the first four leading to a connecting room. If there aren’t any possible connections, such as a dead end, the Mechanarium will create “secondary” doors that point in intercardinal directions.
- South door – Behind the breakable wall in the Weight Room. Break the wall behind the punching bag with a Power Hammer (Sledgehammer Broken Lever Battery Pack).
- West door – Behind the breakable wall in the Secret Garden. Break the brick wall behind the valve handwheel with a Power Hammer to reveal another valve handwheel. Turn the wheel and reverse the direction of the arrows to find the secondary lever.
- North door – Behind the throne in the Throne Room, a secret floor plan that can be found somewhere on the estate.
What secret puzzles unlock the levers in Blue Prince’s estate
The secret puzzles that unlock the levers in Blue Prince’s estate are intricate and vary by location:
-
East Door Lever (Secret Garden): Solve the Moon statue puzzle by aligning arrows on a wind vane and fountain to reveal an alcove containing the lever. Access to this area requires finding the Key to the Secret Garden and unlocking its door on the estate’s perimeter.
-
South Door Lever (Greenhouse): Repair a broken lever found in the Greenhouse. Additionally, a secondary lever is hidden behind a breakable wall in the Weight Room, which requires using the Power Hammer combined with other tools to break through and access the lever.
-
West Door Lever (Great Hall): Located behind one of seven locked doors in the Great Hall, whose layout changes each run. Players can use a miniature model in the Drafting Room to identify the correct door or unlock them systematically. A secondary lever is hidden behind a breakable wall in the Secret Garden, revealed by smashing a brick wall with the Power Hammer and manipulating valve handwheels to uncover it.
-
North Door Lever (Inner Sanctum and Throne Room): The primary lever is found in the Inner Sanctum beneath the house, unlocking the north-facing door of the Antechamber. A secondary lever is hidden behind the throne in the Throne Room, accessible via a secret floor plan somewhere on the estate.
These puzzles often involve exploration, finding keys, breaking walls with the Power Hammer, aligning symbols or arrows, and deciphering the estate’s shifting layout. Together, solving these puzzles and pulling the levers grants access to the Antechamber doors and ultimately Room 46, the mansion’s deeper mystery.
What are the specific puzzles for unlocking each primary lever in Blue Prince
The specific puzzles for unlocking each primary lever in Blue Prince are as follows:
-
East Door Lever (Secret Garden): Solve the Moon statue puzzle by aligning the arrows on the wind vane and fountain so that they all point toward the wall (east or west side depending on layout). This alignment reveals an alcove containing the lever, which can then be pulled to open the east-facing door of the Antechamber. Access requires finding the Key to the Secret Garden and unlocking its door on the estate perimeter.
-
South Door Lever (Greenhouse): This lever is broken and must be repaired before use. Players need to find a Broken Lever item, which can spawn in mechanical rooms or Dig Spots (especially if the Root Cellar is drafted to increase Dig Spots). After drafting the Greenhouse, attach the Broken Lever to the incomplete base on the Greenhouse wall. Once repaired, pulling this lever opens the south-facing door of the Antechamber.
-
West Door Lever (Great Hall): Located behind one of seven locked doors in the Great Hall, whose layout changes each run. Players can consult a miniature model of the Great Hall in the Drafting Room to identify which door hides the lever or unlock doors systematically using keys or lockpicks. Pulling this lever opens the west-facing door of the Antechamber.
These puzzles combine exploration, item collection, and environmental manipulation to unlock the Antechamber’s primary doors, essential for progressing to Room 46.
