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

To open the Alchemic Door in Remothered: Red Nun's Legacy, first find the hidden clue in the Library, then press the Skull, Water Drop, Rising Sun, and Heart symbols in the correct order. The door is located in the Reception Hall of Villa Ashmann and provides access to the Catacombs.

Where to Find the Alchemic Door

The Alchemic Door is located in the Reception Hall, near the Library route. You may have encountered it earlier in the game, but you can't activate its mechanism until you return to Villa Ashmann later in the story.

By this point, Susan should have unlocked all three abilities: Retrocognition, Secrets in the Mirrors, and Moth Manipulation. You will need these powers to reach the hidden room containing the combination.

How to Find the Alchemic Door Combination

Return to the Library and look for the mirror on the same floor as the projector. Use Secrets in the Mirrors to reveal a hidden doorway to the left of the projector.

A cocoon blocks the doorway, so you will need Moth Manipulation to clear it. Look for the moth hive near the mirror, gather the moths, and direct them towards the obstruction. Once the cocoon is removed, enter the newly revealed room.

Inside, you will find a hidden mechanism displaying four symbols on the wall, along with a button. Examine the symbols and press the button to activate the Alchemic Door mechanism in the Reception Hall.

You must also investigate the hidden altar area to reveal the complete clue. Use Secrets in the Mirrors to uncover the concealed objects, then remove the wasp nest with Wasp Manipulation. This reveals the markings that show the correct symbol sequence. Inspect the Alchemist's Chant nearby and use Retrocognition on the lily to uncover its memory.

Once you activate the mechanism and discover the combination, return to the Reception Hall.

Alchemic Door Puzzle Solution

Approach the Alchemic Door and interact with its six-symbol panel. You only need to press four symbols, and they must be activated in this exact order:

• Skull: Bottom-left button.
• Water Drop: Top-right button.
• Rising Sun: Bottom row, second button from the left.
• Heart: Top-left button.

The complete combination is:

Skull - Water Drop - Rising Sun - Heart

Make sure you follow the order rather than simply pressing the four correct symbols in any arrangement. The Fire and Moon symbols are not part of the solution.

After entering the sequence correctly, the Alchemic Door will open and trigger a cutscene. You can then proceed through the newly accessible passage towards the Catacombs.

What to Do After Opening the Alchemic Door

Opening the Alchemic Door is only the beginning of the next section. Once inside the Catacombs, continue exploring until you reach a gate with a broken pulley mechanism.

You will need to find two components to repair it: a Rope and a Pulley. The Rope can be found in the area near the Mother's Remains, while the Pulley is hidden in a room revealed using Secrets in the Mirrors near the metronome save point.

Collect both components and return to the gate mechanism. Attach them to the mechanism to open the gate and continue the story.

Final Thoughts

The Alchemic Door puzzle is easy once you locate the hidden clue in the Library. Remember the four-symbol sequence: Skull, Water Drop, Rising Sun, and Heart. If the door does not respond, make sure you have activated the hidden mechanism before returning to the Reception Hall.
