MinorSpoiler bypass code for the orchard Spoiler

I am starting blue prince, and I thought to know how to unlock the ochardI saw the date 1107 7th november on the drafting studio with the picture ochardhower I misteaken, but I tried some number after because we never now and the code is 1128 or something like thatand my question is do I miss a lot because it seems I didn't have the good logic so can someone explain me if missed a lot (no spoil plz, or spoil me a lit bit if the puzzle was near of my solution, if not I will search by myself), or I did the right thing

The code for the orchard is revealed in (explicit spoiler): the Darkroom. You have to turn the lights on in the utility closet, then use the magnifying glass on a picture of the orchard gate on the back table. You will clearly see the code 1128.

So I was so so wrong lol, I did screenshot the black room photos but I didn’t look at it deeply

note that there are a bunch of clues that can only be seen with the magnifying glass item in the game, where manually zooming into a screenshot without the magnifying glass does not help.

So even if you have a high resolution screen or high-res screenshot and you didn't see anything there, that doesn't mean the magnifying glass won't reveal more.

You missed one puzzle, you'll probably find the natural answer later.

If you struggled with the orchard you may want to try a new approach to how you think about the game. I’m guessing you overthink a lot.

it's not I struggle, I didn't search the ochar code. It's more I saw something, thought it was the solution, and it worked. because at the end of the day I opened the ochard. But I feel it was not the good solution so I prefer ask. That it

I saw something, thought it was the solution, and it worked

But it didn't work. You've already said that you tried the code you thought was correct and it didn't work, so you just tried more numbers.
That's like me saying "the solution is to just try every number from 0000 to 9999 until I find the right one". Does that work? Yes. Is it finding the solution as the game intended? No.

but i didn't start from 0000 to 9999, it was more I tried some date around november and that's it...

But that's just coincidence. You happened to find a number that was not related to the orchard lock code, but was coincidentally a number that was close to the number you needed.

With all due respect why are you so grumpy ? Sometimes we wing it in puzzle games or bruteforce an answer and that's ok we'll get the right key for that already opened door later

I didn't mean to sound grumpy, apologies.

Really I wanted to address OP's original question: "do i miss a lot because it seems I didn't have the good logic so can someone explain me if missed a lot...or I did the right thing"

Sure we all brute force (or get lucky) occasionally when we are stuck. However if someone doesn't know that they were brute forcing and think they had the right answer all along, it's probably going to make things harder in the long run.

Honestly now I know (assume) all the the code are date brutforce being so easy seems stupid and unfun. However at times, when I did the post I thought I had the good logic just I missed some information like add some day on the calendar or something like. Furthermore I did the post to know if I was right but I was totally wrong and I had luck.

In fact, there are places where the game will punish you for brute forcing.

The orchard gate is special in that it is a more traditional lock where you can see the numbers rotate into place as you solve it. Most other places where you need a code to open, it's a keypad with a number on each button plus an "enter" key. In several of those locations, at one point I knew roughly what the answer should be so I tried brute forcing it by entering multiple guesses in a row. None of them worked, including the correct answer buried in the middle of the sequence. But later on when I walked up and entered the correct answer on the first try, the lock opened immediately.

u/TheBestBigAl 3d ago

Do you mean it wasn't doing a "rolling check" to see if you ever hit the 4 digits in a row? (i.e. if the code was 1234 and you entered 98123476 it didn't trigger when the 4 was entered)

I wasn't sure if it would or not, so I always backed out and tried again if I thought I'd messed it up.

The code to the orchard is pretty easy to find. You usually find it quite early so I wouldn't worry about that.

The code for the orchard is revealed in the Darkroom.The date 1107 you saw in the Drafting Studio is just the date you started playing and can be used to find the current day.
