Overview
The elevator puzzle is what unlocks Floor -1. The light the Black Candle, enter the elevator on Floor 1, and ride each floor in the order the Old Book shows.
Setup
- Light the Black Candle by combining it with the Lighter from the Poster Cutouts step (the Devora poster is reconstructed and burned → Bathroom Key → Bathroom → Mop Handle chain drops the Lighter).
- Use the lit Black Candle inside the elevator on Floor 1 to trigger the puzzle sequence.
- Check the Old Book for the color pattern.
The pattern is randomized on each run. The pattern reads top to bottom.
Floor order (top to bottom)
The default floor-to-color assignment is:
- 3rd Floor = blue
- 2nd Floor = green
- 1st Floor = red
- Ground Floor = white
The Old Book reorders them randomly; the colors stay attached to the colors, only the floor sequence changes. Read the colors from top to bottom in the book to know the correct floor order.
Solve
- Ride the elevator to each floor in the book's order until the elevator becomes corrupted.
- Once the elevator is corrupted, select Floor -1.
After Floor -1 you reach Iván's childhood room and the second film canister. After the Aurifer Knife chain, the same elevator / blue-door layout is reused for the Desiderium and Séptimo Arte sprint.
The Black Candle pickup is on the TV room puzzle page; the Floor -1 → Aurifer sequence is on the full walkthrough; the post-Aurifer sprint and the Good/Bad ending choice is on the endings page.
