Remothered: Red Nun's Legacy Guide | How to Open the Birdcage

To open the birdcage in Remothered: Red Nun's Legacy, you need the Doves Medal obtained by repairing the music box in the Art Gallery. Place the medal into the birdcage in the Reception Hall to unlock it and access the Metronome. Interacting with the Metronome triggers the next convent sequence and unlocks the Retrocognition ability.

How to Get the Doves Medal

Before opening the birdcage, you must collect the Doves Medal. You receive it by completing the music box puzzle in the Art Gallery.

1. Find the Compass Rose Key: Collect it from the Art Gallery, on top of the cabinet near the fireplace.

2. Unlock the Room of Wonders: Use the Compass Rose Key on the Compass Rose Door.

3. Collect the Library Key: Enter the Sala delle Meraviglie and find the closed blue book on the vanity. Open it to obtain the key.

4. Enter the Library: Return to the Library door and use the Library Key.

5. Find the Groom Figurine: Go upstairs and follow the balcony until you reach a small table. Pick up the Groom Figurine.

6. Return to the Art Gallery: Make your way back through the upper passage connecting the Library to the Reception Hall.

7. Repair the Music Box: Place the Groom Figurine beside the Bride Figurine in the music box.

8. Collect the Doves Medal: After the music box sequence finishes, collect the medal.

You now have everything needed to unlock the birdcage. 

How to Open the Birdcage

Once you have the Doves Medal, head to the Reception Hall, where you previously encountered the locked birdcage containing a Metronome.

1. Leave the Art Gallery: Head towards the right side of the villa and make your way upstairs.

2. Reach the upper floor: Use the staircase connected to the Library to access the upper level.

3. Avoid the Novice: During this section, a Novice will push Susan down the stairs. This is a scripted event, so you cannot avoid it.

4. Return upstairs: Continue through the available passage and reach the upper level again.

5. Enter the Reception Hall: Open the door leading to the upper section of the hall.

6. Find the birdcage: Head down the staircase on the left. You will see the birdcage in the middle of the room.

7. Use the Doves Medal: Interact with the birdcage and place the medal into its lock.

8. Open the cage: Once unlocked, interact with the Metronome inside.

A cutscene will play after you interact with the Metronome, taking Susan into another convent sequence. 

How to Unlock Retrocognition

Opening the birdcage allows you to interact with the Metronome and unlock your first supernatural ability, Retrocognition.

After the cutscene, Susan will return to the convent. You can now use Retrocognition to investigate certain objects and reveal memories connected to them.

To progress:

1. Look for the candle table near the starting area.

2. Interact with it and use Retrocognition when prompted.

3. Follow the corridor and investigate the next objects that react to your ability.

4. Continue following the newly revealed memories to advance through the convent.

Retrocognition is essential for solving later puzzles, so make sure you use it whenever you encounter an object that can reveal a memory. 

Final Thoughts

The birdcage in the Reception Hall cannot be opened with an ordinary key. You need to repair the music box in the Art Gallery by placing the Groom Figurine beside the Bride Figurine. This rewards you with the Doves Medal, which unlocks the birdcage and gives you access to the Metronome. Interacting with it begins the next convent sequence and unlocks Retrocognition.
