Key Summary
- Proceed through the corridor to the right and then north through the doors.
- Physician’s Log (3) is immediately on your left after entering the large main room.
- Antique Comb (⛩300) can be found on a box in the western part of the main room.
- New Game+: You no longer need to complete the rituals so that you can skip directly to the passage up ahead, but with the fox mask abilities, you will be able to enter a new secret area to fulfill requirements for the new ending:
- Go through the metal door in the southeast corner of the main room.
- Proceed through the door to your immediate left and up the stairs. After fighting the monsters, pass through the wall with the Inari-sama seals, using your focus ability.
- Continue through the Inari-sama door and you will arrive at the garden with ponds and islands – the Hermitage of Crimson Water. Step inside the building in the center and collect the Hotei-sama sitting Cross-Legged bottle.
You will receive the Trophy/Achievement: Treasured Belonging.
- Upgrade: Ema is at the back of the building.
- Finally, solve the Crimson Water Puzzle to fulfill one of the requirements for Ending 2 by ringing the three bells in the garden in the correct order – the great stone on the northern island will provide you with the hints:
- Stone symbol – the bell on the balcony of the building overlooking the garden.
- Water symbol – the bell on the island with the great stone to the east.
- Tree symbol – the bell across the stone bridge from the previous bell.
- The puzzle will be complete after ringing the final bell, and your journal will get updated. Nothing more to do here, so leave the area and proceed with the game's walkthrough.
- New Game++: You don't need to complete the puzzle for Ending 4 if you already completed it in one of the previous runs.

- Omamori [Crow] and Housemaid’s Note (3) are inside the room to the west of the main room, behind the metal door that you will be able to open now with the fox arm.
- Go through the metal door in the southeast corner of the main room. Follow the Fox Mask to the end of the corridor and into the room to the left, where you will need to defeat the monsters. After the fight, proceed through the double doors for the second ritual.

- Dried Carcass (⛩200). You can return to the second floor via the southeastern stairs to pass through another wall in the area where you got the inventory upgrade previously. The offering will be on a bench before the Inari-sama door.
