The Kennel in Blue Prince is a Blueprint room with a blue border. With drafting, it carries a huge effect: When you dig in a room, unlock all its doors.
This power of door-unlocking saves many keys in the upper levels of Mount Holly Estate, where locked doors often prevent progress.
Unlike Starter Rooms, the Kennel won’t appear in your draft pool at the start of any run.
You must first acquire it through the Drafting Studio, an unusual room that allows you to add certain rooms to your drafting options permanently.
The Keneel In Blue Prince
The Kennel in Blue Prince is one of the many unique rooms you can encounter while exploring the game’s ever-changing manor.
Kennel shines best in a compelling combination with a Shovel, which players take advantage of during their runs.
Unquestionably, dirt-digging zones tend to collaborate with the role of the Kennel.
Some Green Rooms, like the Terrace or Greenhouse, hold an abundance of dirt patches ready to be dug.
Many players use this strategy:
- Early on, draft the Kennel in your run
- Get a Shovel from the Tool Shed or by digging
- Prioritize Green Rooms with dirt patches first
- Dig and proceed with unlocking doors without wasting keys
Especially useful in the mid-game and late-game, when unlocking keys becomes a rare commodity in exchange for multiple locked doors!
Puzzle Relevance
Besides the unlocking doors and adorable characters, the Kennel aids with the puzzle-solving aspects of Blue Prince.
The shelf in the room holds a clue for the Castle Cipher Puzzle.
This clue consists of letters arranged vertically or grid-like, assisting players in cracking one of the game’s hardest riddles.
This makes the Kennel a must-visit for any player wanting to unravel the entire mystery of Mount Holly Estate, especially the Castle Cipher Puzzle aspect that deals with it.
How To Gain Access To The Kennel?
