Blue Prince: All Microchip Locations

In Blue Prince, uncovering the path to the King’s Throne requires solving intricate puzzles and locating three well-hidden Microchips. These chips are scattered across different areas of the game, and each plays a vital role in unlocking a mysterious pedestal in Blackbridge Grotto. Once all three are inserted, a secret passage is revealed, bringing you closer to your ultimate objective.
This detailed guide will walk you through the exact locations of each Microchip, along with step-by-step instructions to ensure you find them efficiently.

Understanding the Microchips’ Role

Before setting out to collect the Microchips, it’s important to know their purpose:

All three must be placed into the pedestal in Blackbridge Grotto.
Once inserted, they reveal a hidden path leading to the King’s Throne Floorplan, a crucial step in progressing through the game.
Each Microchip is hidden in a unique location, some requiring puzzle-solving or backtracking.

Now, let’s dive into each Microchip’s location.

First Microchip Location: The Laboratory Puzzle

Step 1: Restore Power to the Laboratory

When you first arrive at the Laboratory, you’ll notice it has no power. To activate it:

Head to the Boiler Room.

Interact with the steam generators and redirect the steam flow to power up the lab.

This may involve adjusting valves or solving a simple pressure-based puzzle.

Step 2: Solve the Periodic Table Puzzle

Once the Laboratory is powered:

Return and enter the main lab area.

You’ll encounter a Periodic Table puzzle (likely involving matching elements or inputting a code).

Solve it to unlock access to Blackbridge Grotto.

Step 3: Retrieve the First Microchip

Inside Blackbridge Grotto, you’ll find a pedestal holding the first Microchip. Simply pick it up—this one is the most straightforward of the three.

Second Microchip Location: The Hidden Vase in the Entrance Hall

This Microchip is easy to miss because it’s hidden in plain sight near the game’s starting area.

Return to the Entrance Hall (where you began the game).

Move to the far left corner of the room.

You’ll notice a decorative vase sitting on a stand.

Grab a sledgehammer (if you don’t have one, check nearby storage rooms or tool racks).

Smash the vase to reveal the second Microchip inside.

Why was it hidden here? This could hint at lore—perhaps the King (or someone else) didn’t want the throne to be easily accessible.

Third Microchip Location: Digging Near the Bridge

The final Microchip requires exploration and a shovel.

Exit the main building and head to the outdoor grounds.

From your spawn point, take a left and walk past the West Gate.

Follow the path toward the bridge, but do not cross it.

Stand on the right side of the bridge and look down at the grassy area below.

Use a shovel to dig in this spot (if you don’t have one, check nearby sheds or inventory).

After digging, you’ll uncover the third and final Microchip.

Tip: If the shovel doesn’t appear in your inventory, revisit earlier areas where tools might be stored.

Placing the Microchips in Blackbridge Grotto

Now that you have all three Microchips:

Return to Blackbridge Grotto (where you found the first one).

Approach the pedestal and insert each Microchip into its designated slot.

Once all three are placed, a hidden passage will open, revealing the path to the King’s Throne Floorplan.

Final Tips & Secrets

Backtracking is Key: Some Microchips require revisiting early areas with new tools (like the sledgehammer or shovel).
Explore Thoroughly: The game hides clues in environmental details—check notes, symbols, or unusual objects.
Save Before Digging/Smashing: If an action is irreversible (like breaking the vase), consider saving first.

Conclusion

With this guide, you should now have all three Microchips and be ready to unlock the secret passage in Blackbridge Grotto. The journey to the King’s Throne is now within reach—proceed carefully, as greater challenges may lie ahead!
