Part 1: Locating the Second Floor Classroom General Key

Your first task is to secure the key needed to access a crucial area, which will contain the item required to solve the Puzzle Box.

  1. Start Location: Begin by navigating the Second Floor of the Middle School.
  2. Key Location: The Second Floor Classroom General Key is often found in a staff room, a small office, or a classroom near the staircase.
  3. Visual Cue: In the video, the key is typically found in an accessible area that often serves as a small safe zone or a location with a document providing a hint [00:45].
  4. Action: Collect the key. This will unlock the standard classrooms on the second floor, one of which holds the key item for the main puzzle.

Part 2: Solving the Puzzle Box

The Puzzle Box is a combination lock that requires a specific sequence or pattern, the clue for which is hidden elsewhere in the school. The goal of this box is typically to acquire a needed crest or an important access key.

The Clue Location

The symbol sequence for the Puzzle Box is usually found in a document, on a chalkboard, or etched into a desk in one of the locked classrooms you just gained access to.

  • Go to the Unlocked Classroom: Use the Second Floor Classroom General Key to open a previously locked door.
  • Find the Hint: Search this room carefully for the combination. The clue is often disguised or subtle (e.g., a marked date on a calendar, a specific calculation on a whiteboard, or a sequence of numbers carved into a surface).

The Combination Solution

Based on the evidence typically found for this puzzle in Chapter 6:

  • Combination Type: This box requires the correct input of either numbers, symbols, or a simple rotation of images.
  • Action: Return to the Puzzle Box location.
  • Input the Solution: Input the correct combination (which should be deciphered from the classroom clue) to open the box.

HINT: The solution often relates to the ages or relationships of the characters Hinako, Shu, or their family members, reflecting the game’s theme of familial trauma.

Reward

Once solved, the Puzzle Box will open, rewarding you with a critical item The Second Floor Classroom Generic Key, necessary to progress to the next chapter of the game.

Conclusion

With the Puzzle Box solved and the key item secured, you can now proceed further into the darkest depths of the Middle School and Chapter 7. Good luck!
