Locating the Day 2 Puzzle Room

Finding the correct room can be tricky since map layouts shift dynamically across servers. Player experience and community reports indicate that the target room usually spawns on the right side of the map.

Once you enter the hotel lobby, sprint toward the right side until you spot a structure resembling an old playhouse. Head upstairs to the second story, navigate to the back rooms, and you will find a chamber filled with stone pillars and a large lever.

Step	Location / Action	Goal
1	Hotel Lobby	Head immediately to the right side of the map.
2	Playhouse Structure	Enter the building and locate the stairs.
3	Second Story Back Room	Find the chamber featuring six stone pillars and a lever.

Deciphering the Riddle and Mechanics

Before you start twisting things aimlessly, turn around and read the inscription on the wall. The poem outlines the strict rules you must follow to succeed.

“Pumpkin moon and midnight hour, six stone pumpkins in witch’s power. Turn a stone, its neighbors turn; waste your turn and back they churn. Turn each pumpkin to face its mark, lest you rot here in the dark.”

The core mechanic requires you to rotate the pillars so that all pumpkin faces point inward toward the center. However, interacting with one pillar rotates the adjacent ones as well.

Rule / Mechanic	Detail	Penalty / Consequence
Neighbor Rotation	Twisting one pillar affects adjacent pillars.	Misaligns nearby correct markers.
Turn Limit	You are given 11 turns to align everything.	Exceeding the limit resets all pillars.
Visual Indicator	Correctly aligned pillars glow at their base.	None (signifies progress).

Step-by-Step Solution Strategy

Because layouts and initial seed orientations can vary slightly, you need a disciplined approach to beat the 11-turn limit. Follow these actionable steps to clear the challenge efficiently:

1. Inspect Your Starting State: Check which pillars are already lit up or facing the correct direction upon entering the room.
2. Isolate Problem Pillars: Focus on the ones that do not match the target icon.
3. Count Your Turns: Keep a close eye on the remaining turn counter displayed on the nearby sign.
4. Reset if Needed: If you drop to zero turns, don’t panic—the puzzle simply resets its state, allowing you to try a fresh sequence.

Attempt Phase	Turn Counter Status	Recommended Action
Early Game (Turns 1–4)	Safe Zone	Test individual pillars to understand neighbor reactions.
Mid Game (Turns 5–8)	Caution	Align stubborn outer pillars carefully.
End Game (Turns 9–11)	Critical	Fine-tune the final glowing markers and pull the lever.

Claiming Your Relic and Rewards

Once all six pillars are correctly aligned, they will emit a bright, glowing light from their bases toward the center of the room. This signals that the mechanism is unlocked.

Pull the lever to spawn the relic, pick it up, and retrace your steps back downstairs to the elevator. Escape the floor with the relic in hand to secure your badge and claim the coveted Witch’s Brew-nado reward.
