Overview
This walkthrough explains how to complete the "Caves" map in the Anomaly Escape Room game, detailing each puzzle and sequence to successfully escape.
Starting the Caves Map
- Note the word "caves" above the keypad, indicating the password entered backward.
- Collect the steering wheel and use it to push the cart and access the next area.
- Find and record values for C (10), A (9), V (3), E (3), and S (6) from clues and a book.
- The code is determined as 6 3 3 9 10, which unlocks the next door.
Collecting and Using Crystals
- Collect the first crystal and place it in its slot.
- Retrieve a second crystal beyond the unlocked door.
- Use a lockpick to open a lock after completing a mini-game and obtain the third crystal.
- Place all three crystals to activate and open the elevator.
Elevator Puzzle and Color Sequence
- Enter the elevator and observe the color pattern displayed by the lights.
- Replicate light patterns (yellow, yellow; red, pink, red, yellow; pink, yellow, yellow, cyan) three times to move the elevator down.
Assembling the Ax and Furnace Puzzle
- Upon exiting the elevator, assemble an ax by finding and combining three parts.
- Use the ax to break a rock and obtain coal, then place both coal and a rock in the furnace.
- Collect molten material from the furnace, pour it into a mold to make a key, and use this key to unlock a door.
Navigating Past the Entity and Spider
- Enter the exit room and wait for the hostile entity to pass before proceeding.
- Crouch when prompted to avoid the spider's detection.
- Collect four sticks of dynamite (TNT) while avoiding the spider, then place them to blast a door open.
Final Code and Lever Puzzle
- In the new area, use information from books to deduce the code: first two digits are 85, the third is related to the expedition number (2), and the fourth is found by trial and error.
- Pull levers in the correct sequence to light all three indicators and open the final door.
Escaping and Completion
- Run through the exit door quickly to avoid the spider and successfully complete the escape room.
