Unlock the secrets of the Sinclair family and delve deeper into Blue Prince’s mysterious mansion with our comprehensive guide to solving all Tomb puzzles. From deciphering the angel statues’ cryptic order-hinted at by the Chapel’s stained glass windows-to revealing hidden passages that lead to the Underground, this walkthrough will illuminate every step you need to conquer the Tomb and uncover its darkest secrets on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox.
Inside, you’ll find remnants of the Sinclair legacy, stone coffins, and candles (both lit and unlit), but most suspicious of all, you’ll find angel statues spread around the crypt, which you can interac with. After you interact with one of the angel statues, its arm will lower and raise – indicating these statues must be a puzzle inside the Tomb.
Here’s how to solve the Tomb puzzle in Blue Prince along with some of the additional secrets you can find in the room.
How to solve the Tomb puzzle in Blue Prince
To solve the Tomb puzzle in Blue Prince, you need to interact with seven angel statues in a specific order that corresponds to the numbered stained glass windows found in the Chapel. Each statue is identified by its headwear and the item it holds, matching the figures depicted in the Chapel’s mosaics. The correct sequence to activate the statues is: Gardener (hoe), Cook (spatula), Farmer (pitchfork), Chimney Sweep (broom), Maid (duster), Stable Hand (riding whip), and King (scepter). Interacting with them in this order will open a hidden door leading to the Underground. Finally, interacting with the statue of Death’s scythe in the new area reveals the entrance to the Basement, allowing further exploration.
After you enter the Tomb and see the angel statues, they may seem a bit familiar. If you’ve looked around the Chapel, you may have noticed seven stained glass windows with each containing an image of one of the angel statues found inside the Tomb. At the bottom of these windows, you’ll find a number from one through seven, indicating the angel statue order.
To save you some time and steps, we’ve listed the angel statue order along with an image gallery of their appearances below:
- Gardener – Rimmed hat and a hoe
- Chef – Chef hat and a pizza peel
- Farmer – Cowboy hat and a rake
- Chimney Sweep – Top hat and a brush
- Maid – Bonnet and a broom
- Jockey – Riding helmet and a racing whip
- Queen – Crown and a scepter
After you’ve interacted with each angel statue in the order listed above, you’ll uncover a secret pathway leading to the Catacombs. Inside, you’ll find another angel statue, albeit a little more grim than the others, which will open another path to the Abandoned Mine after you interact with it.
The Tomb is still home to many more secrets – which we’ve outlined below – but be aware there will be a lot of spoilers to follow from here on out!

Additional Tomb secrets in Blue Prince
The Tomb in Blue Prince holds additional secrets beyond its main puzzle, including two notable side puzzles involving ruby socketed candlesticks and the natural order of angel statues. After reading Drafting Strategy Volume 4, players learn to light the ruby candlesticks to trigger a mechanical reaction. Another key secret involves interacting with the angel statues in a specific sequence derived from clues scattered throughout the estate, such as notes and statuettes found in locations like the Cloister, Apple Orchard, and Maid’s Quarter. Pulling the arms of these statues in the correct order-based on names like Orinda, Lydia, Rynna, Joya, Dauja, Veia, Mila, and Draxus-unlocks hidden areas and rewards, including a secret nook behind the Angel of Death statue. These additional puzzles enrich the exploration of the Tomb and tie into the broader narrative and estate mysteries in Blue Prince.
There are two additional puzzles found inside the Tomb in Blue Prince: the ruby socketed candlesticks and natural order of Angel Statues.
After reading Drafting Strategy Volume 4, you’ll learn about ruby socketed candlesticks, which will trigger a mechanical reaction when lit. Their locations are relatively unknown, but two sets of the candlesticks can be found inside the Tomb and its up to you to find what is hidden behind their mechanical triggers.
The Angel Statues were used to open the Catacombs, but after you’ve completed the map pin puzzle and read Herbert Sinclair’s will, you learn that there is another natural order that you must uncover to learn more secrets.
We’ll break down the solutions to both puzzles below.
How to light the candles in the Tomb
As you explore the tomb, you’ll find two sets of ruby socketed candlesticks, which both hide a secret pathway. To light the candles, you’ll need to combine a magnifying glass and a metal detector to create the Burning Glass. Alternatively, you can buy the Torch from the Armory, which is only available if you’ve chosen the Knight’s Power.
Once you have either the Burning Glass or Torch, light both sets of candles on the ruby socketed candlesticks to reveal an Upgrade Disk, a Mora Jai puzzle box, an Erajan letter, and Lady Epsen’s Diary Key.
What is the Ajeran Angels natural numerical order?
After you’ve completed the map pin puzzle in Room 46, you’ll find Herbert Sinclair’s will and testament, which will briefly talk about the natural numeric order of the Ajeran Angels: Orinda, Lydia, Rynna, Joya, Dauja, Veia, Mila, and Draxus.
As there is another order for the angel statues, you’ll need to interact with each angel statue again, but this time, following their natural numeric order. However, if you don’t know the name of each angel statue, it’ll be impossible to figure out the correct order.
Each angel’s name can be found in a variety of locations around the house, such as notes, books, miniature statues, and even lunch boxes. To save you some time, we’ve listed the names of each angel statue along with an image gallery of their appearances in the natural numeric order below:
- Orinda – Queen angel statue with a crown and scepter.
- Lydia – Jockey angel statue with a riding helmet and racing whip.
- Rynna – Gardener angel statue with a rimmed hat and hoe.
- Joya – Chef angel statue with a chef hat and pizza peel.
- Dauja – Farmer angel statue with a cowboy hat and rake.
- Veia – Chimney Sweep angel statue with a top hat and a brush.
- Mila – Maid angel statue with a bonnet and a broom.
- Draxus – Skeleton reaper statue with a scythe found in the Catacombs.
After interacting with each angel statue in the natural numeric order, the wall behind the Draxus statue will rise revealing the eighth stained glass window and the original manuscripts of “The Red Prince” and “A New Clue.”
What hidden secrets does the Tomb puzzle in Blue Prince reveal
The Tomb puzzle in Blue Prince reveals deep secrets about the Sinclair family and unlocks hidden pathways beneath the mansion. By interacting with seven angel statues in a specific order-clues to which are found in the Chapel’s stained glass windows-you unlock a concealed passage leading to the Catacombs. Further engagement with a more ominous angel statue, the Angel of Death, opens a route to the Abandoned Mine and the Reservoir, unveiling a vast underground network filled with mysteries, map fragments, and upgrade disks. Additionally, the Tomb houses ruby socketed candlesticks that trigger mechanical responses, hinting at more concealed secrets within the crypt. These discoveries not only expand the mansion’s lore but also provide critical access to late-game areas rich with exploration and rewards.
What do the angel statues symbolize in the Tomb’s hidden lore
The angel statues in the Tomb’s hidden lore symbolize the connection between the earthly realm and the divine, embodying themes of faith, protection, death, and resurrection. Each angel can represent different spiritual roles: for example, angels with trumpets symbolize the call to resurrection and Judgment Day, while those holding swords or crosses signify spiritual warfare and defense against evil. The Angel of Death statue, in particular, reflects the extinguishing of mortal life but also faith in eternal life and triumph over death, offering both a reminder of mortality and hope for immortality. Overall, these statues serve as spiritual guardians and intermediaries, providing comfort and symbolizing the journey of the soul from death to eternal rest.
