Spoilers Ahead
This page contains spoilers for a Studio Addition. View at your own discretion.
Vestibule
An ornately framed yet modestly sized hall. It had served as the original antechamber in the old days before eventually being removed from the estate for having doors that were prone to becoming stuck.
The Vestibule is a Studio Addition in Blue Prince. It serves a similar purpose to the Passageway as a 4-way hallway that costs 2 gems, but its gimmick can reduce key usage when using the room.
Drafting
Vestibule can be permanently added to the draft pool in the Drafting Studio.
Points of interest
The Vestibule never contains items, even at high luck.
Effect
Whenever the Vestibule is entered, the 4 doors are regenerated, with one door locked and the other three unlocked. When opening a door, if there is no room behind it, it allows you to draft a room from that door; if there is already a room there, the door simply opens and allows you to walk through.
Since this is an entry effect, if the desired direction to go to is locked, it is possible to leave the room and reenter it to reroll which door is locked at the cost of 2
.
Interactions
- Activating The Southern Cross makes the Vestibule more common today.
- If the Silver Key and Prism Key are used on a Vestibule door that does not lead to a draft, the effect of the key is saved until the next draft, even if it was not from a locked door.
- The Secret Garden Key never fits in a Vestibule door, even if it would otherwise work.
- [Secret Item: Key 8] Key 8 fits in Vestibule doors as normal, as long as it would work normally and the door would initiate a draft. Prior to Patch 1.6, it instead softlocked the game.
- The Lock Pick Kit never displays the "This door's lock still seems too difficult to pick" message when used on the locked Vestibule door. The chance to unlock the door is rerolled each time the Lock Pick Kit is used, allowing repeated lockpick attempts on the door until it opens at no real cost other than time.
[Contraption Spoiler: Pick Sound Amplifier] The same applies to the Pick Sound Amplifier.
As a Hallway
- Drafting the Foyer before or after drafting the Vestibule will unlock all doors in the Vestibule, including security doors.
- The Hall Pass will void the
gem cost of drafting between the Vestibule and another Hallway. - The Hall Pass also negates the step cost of walking between the Vestibule and an adjoining Hallway.
- Drafting a Hallway either to or from the Vestibule can trigger a particular experimental trigger which is activated by drafting a Hallway from another Hallway.
- The Vestibule can contribute to a particular experimental effect which provides a key for every two Hallways on the estate.
- The Vestibule is drawn significantly more often during a Hallways-restricted draft, initiated by using the orange book in the Secret Passage or by using the Prism Key on a locked Hallway door.
- The Vestibule is the only Studio Addition which must actually be added to the draft pool from the Drafting Studio before it can be drafted this way. All other Studio Additions which can be drafted by the Prism Key or Secret Passage can, under certain circumstances, be drafted by those effects before they are ever actually added.
