Repellent
Repellent is a rare special item in Blue Prince. Found only in a select number of locations, it allows players to "repel" floorplans, preventing them from being drawn for up to 7 days.
How to obtain
This item can be found in the following locations.
[Found Floorplan: Lost & Found]
Repellent can be guaranteed to spawn in the following ways.
[Upgrade Spoiler: Cloister] Drafting the Bedroom from the Cloister of Mila will always cause it to contain Repellent if it has not spawned already.
- [Upgrade Spoiler: Spare Room] The same is true of the Spare Bedroom and all of its upgrades.
Spoilers Within
This section contains spoilers for a particular Shrine interaction.

If The Foundation is drafted as an Outer Room using the Blessing of the Monk, it will remain there permanently. After one or two days, Repellent will spawn in the Entrance Hall every day until it used to remove the Outer Foundation. This Repellent is always available, even if the player already has Repellent from Coat Check or Moon Pendant, making Repellent one of the few special items which can be obtained in multiples. See The Foundation#Interactions for more information.

Usage
While standing in a room and holding Repellent, the player may press [X] to remove that room's floorplan from the draft pool, preventing it from appearing while drafting for several days. The room must either be a room in the house or an Outer Room for the Repellent to do anything; it has no effect on other locations.
When Repellent is successfully used, it is immediately consumed and a message appears saying [ROOM NAME] has been removed from the draft pool for a week. Viewing the room's directory page will show the Repellent overlaying its icon, along with the remaining duration of the effect. Although Repellent's description says that it does not have an effect until the next day, the other messages imply that it takes effect immediately, and that the current day is included in the 7 day duration.
Only three rooms can be repelled at once. Attempting to repel a fourth room will overwrite the status of the third, returning the third to the draft pool.
Repellent only removes floorplans from the draft pool. Repelled floorplans may still be drawn by effects which do not use the draft pool, e.g. Outer Room drafting, and by effects which force a particular floorplan to be drawn or bypass drafting floorplans altogether.
Interactions
- Most permanent and objective rooms cannot be repelled. The Entrance Hall and Antechamber both prevent the use of Repellent, instead displaying the message "You cannot use REPELLENT on this room's floorplan."
- Despite being permanent, The Foundation is affected by Repellent. Using Repellent on the Foundation will cause it to reset the next day and allow it to be redrafted in one week. If the player closes and relaunches the game after the Foundation is removed from the house but before it is redrafted, it will appear to be removed from the Room Directory as though it were never drafted in the first place. Using Repellent on the Foundation is the only known way to move it.
- [Post-Inheritance Spoilers] Repellent cannot be used on Room 46.
- Repellent can be used on Outer Rooms, but it has no effect since Outer Rooms use their own system rather than the draft pool.
- Similarly, using Repellent on a room and then using Blessing of the Monk on it will still allow it to be drafted as an Outer Room the next day, even though it can't appear in the house for a week.
- Repellent doesn't prevent floorplans from being drafted by Blessing of the Berry Picker when drafting the Outer Room.
- [Secret Room: Secret Garden] The Secret Garden can still be repelled, but is unaffected by it due to its unique drafting mechanism.
- [Very Secret Room: Room 8] Room 8 can still be repelled, but is unaffected by it due to its unique drafting mechanism.
- [Upgrade Spoiler: Nook] Repelling the Library does not prevent it from being drawn in the Reading Nook.
- [Possible bug, PC] Repellent appears to only work if it is actually picked up. Repellent retained via the Coat Check or Moon Pendant seems to be unusable until a second can is picked up.
- [Upgrade Spoiler: Billiard Room] [Possible bug, PC] Repellent can't be used on the Speakeasy or Break Room, though it can be used on the Pool Hall without any issue.
If you've found a new clue, you know what to do.
Can repelled rooms still be drafted by Blessing of the Berry Picker in the house?
Can temporary additions like Sauna and Morning Room be repelled?
