Remothered: Red Nun's Legacy Guide | How to Repair the Mechanism and Open the Gate

To repair the broken gate mechanism in the Catacombs in Remothered: Red Nun's Legacy, you need to find two items: the Rope and the Pulley. Both are hidden in different parts of the underground area, and you must use your abilities to remove the cocoons blocking their locations. Once you have both components, return to the mechanism near the save point and install them to open the gate.

Where to Find the Broken Gate Mechanism

After opening the Alchemic Door in the Reception Hall, follow the newly accessible passage into the Catacombs. Continue through the underground corridors until you reach a gate with a broken pulley mechanism.

Examine the mechanism to confirm that it needs two missing components. You cannot operate the gate yet, so leave it and explore the surrounding area.

The nearby room with the Metronome serves as a useful landmark and save point. Remember its location because you will need to return here after collecting both items.

Where to Find the Rope

The Rope is located deeper inside the Catacombs, in the area beyond the well and near the chamber containing the Mother's Remains.

From the starting save point, follow the passage towards the well. Continue through the underground corridors and look for the route leading towards the rooms containing the test-subject documents and the Mother's Remains.

You will eventually reach an adjoining room with a cocoon blocking the entrance. Use Moth Manipulation to clear the obstruction and enter the room.

Look for the cocoon-covered furnace or compartment near the generator. Clear the obstruction and investigate the exposed area to collect the Rope. Make sure you pick it up before leaving, as you cannot repair the gate without it.

The area can be confusing because several corridors look similar, so use the well and the Mother's Remains chamber as landmarks when retracing your route.

Where to Find the Pulley

The Pulley is hidden in a secret room near the Metronome save point. However, you cannot enter it through the normal passage.

Return towards the save point and look for a mirror covered by a cocoon. Use Moth Manipulation to remove the obstruction, then activate Secrets in the Mirrors to reveal the hidden route.

Examine the mirror carefully and interact with the newly revealed area. This opens a passage leading to a concealed room.

Enter the room and investigate the objects inside. You will find Susan's Diary here, along with the Pulley. Collect the Pulley before returning to the broken mechanism.

How to Repair the Mechanism and Open the Gate

Once you have collected both components, return to the broken gate near the Metronome save point.

Approach the mechanism and interact with it. You can now install the Rope and Pulley into their respective positions. After fitting both components, operate the mechanism to lift the gate.

The gate will open, allowing you to continue through the Catacombs. Descend the stairs beyond it and look for the Putridarium Letter on the floor to your left if you are collecting documents.

Continue towards the next door and interact with it to trigger the following story sequence. This leads into the final section of the game.

Final Thoughts

The Catacombs gate requires two separate items, so finding only the Rope or the Pulley will not be enough. Search the area beyond the well for the Rope, then return to the Metronome save point and use the hidden mirror passage to find the Pulley. Once both are installed, operate the mechanism to open the gate and continue the story.
