Blue Prince is loaded with various items with unique effects that you discover as you progress in the game. One of these items is the Repellent, which also happens to be the rarest in Blue Prince, as it allows players to remove a room temporarily from the drafting pool for a week.
If you are wondering how to get the Repellent in Blue Prince, this guide is for you.
How You Can Get the Repellent in Blue Prince
Before we mention and explain the locations in Blue Prince from where you can get the Repellent, it is important to highlight that it doesn’t work on all rooms. You cannot use it against the Entrance Hall and Antechamber, as they are immune to the Repellent effects. Repellent is also one of the very few items that let you alter the game mechanics in Blue Prince.
However, it is the only method through which you can move a permanent fixture in Blue Prince: The Foundation.
Repellent Locations in Blue Prince
Players can get the Repellent in Blue Prince through two different locations.
#1: Lost and Found
It is an Unlockable Floorplan in the game, and there is a low chance that you will find the Repellent here, as it is quite a rare item. Moreover, every time you enter it, you will lose a random item from your inventory. So, be careful while doing it, as you have no control over the item you lose.
#2: Foundation
The other place where you can find the Repellent is the Foundation (outer room). You’ll have to draft the Foundation before you can look for the Repellent here.
To Draft Foundation, players have to unlock the West Gate Path by opening the Garage Door. Draft the Shrine and obtain the Blessing of the Monk by offering 30 coins. It lets you draft manor rooms as outer rooms, provided you call it a day in one of them.
Once you are inside the Foundation area, end the current day. On your next run or next day, draft the Foundation room as an outer room.
As the Foundation is a permanent room, its location does not reset in Blue Prince. This leads to Mrs. Babbage, the home manager, leaving a letter for you in the Entrance Hall about your unconventional drafting methods. Along with the letter, you will also find the item you are looking for, i.e., the Repellent.
If you want to change the location of the Foundation, you can use the Repellent on it. Then call it a day. As a result, it will disappear from the drafting pool for a week. After this time, you can see it again in the drafting pool, and you can plot it in a different location.
Why Should You Use the Repellent in Blue Prince?
As already mentioned, the Repellent lets players remove a room temporarily from the drafting pool for the next 7 days. It is quite useful if you want to exclude the rooms you dislike or don’t want to draft, such as the Red Rooms.
Using the Repellent to move the Foundation can be greatly useful. Some players may draft Foundation at a wrong location or place it close to Room 46, and now want to draft a pathway to it. In such a case, the Repellent is the only option.
