Do I ever come back to the main elevator areas?

[X YdoC]

Or is the map bugged or something? I just made it to the mines and I swear I did everything I could have, but the map still has plenty of locked doors and unsolved puzzles

Hello, if you are on the mines after floor 8 there shouldn't be a puzzle blocking you from going further. Just to make sure, once you get down the elevator you find a safe room, after that a second elevator but one in diagonal. From this point if you check doors and you should find the way. If you can't go there maybe you still have puzzles on the floors to solve

Precise answer: After the diagonal elevator, you go on the corridor at it's left, once inside the room you go up, there should be a door to open. Once in the second room there should be a button to press to open the way and that's it

Sorry, I should have clarified more, I wasn't having trouble progressing. I was just wondering if you ever return to the area with the main elevator and the 8 floors later in the game because my map shows I have things I haven't done even though I could have sworn I did everything possible. Not for the sake of progression, but for the sake of completion/finding all the secret items.

Oh alright, yes you should complete what you want to before going further, it won't be doable later

That is so odd. I must have missed something big and it would have lead me to the other locked doors or something. Either that or the map was bugged somehow. I have had issue with items not spawning and then showing up later, maybe I missed something that way. Oh well, thanks.

Mission items that appear in previously empty rooms ? That's weird, if you haven't already maybe do a file check of the game via Steam

About the map info, if I'm not wrong it can also display missing stuff from heigher floors you don't have access anymore

Idk about mission items, I just know there has been several times I would fully check a room and find nothing, just to find something very noticeable when I came a different time. I assume it is a bug. Yea just not sure how I missed so much stuff, I saw multiple yellow doors and I always try and do every single thing I can before I progress, especially in survival horror. I probably just missed something, or not all locked doors can be unlocked? It's alright, I'm sure I will play it again sometime.

What kind of item then ? If you meant ammo, heal, etc., they (rarely) randomly spawn
And yes if my memory isn't wrong, all yellow doors can be opened

The mines are a no return point. At the end of it you'll go to a different location.

"No Entry" doors can't be unlocked (like in Silent Hill games). Doors with a yellow padlock icon or something else can.

If you missed anything essential you wouldn't be able to progress. There aren't many optional puzzles or key items you can ignore. If you missed something it's probably optional stuff like, for example, getting the Revolver.

Sadly no

Just wanted to chime in here that if you noticed non-key items (healing, ammo) popping up in rooms you've already checked, it's normal. The game has a hidden mechanic where it may spawn items in rooms if you've died and reloaded a save (or loaded the save file generally?).

If you've made it to the mines, I think you've collected all key items you need. The only things you'd be missing are consumables or memos/journal entries.

Interesting, I do tend to save a lot, partially why I was really confused that I missed some locked rooms and their keys. I'm extremely thorough usually lol. That explains the items though! Some of these puzzles are pretty trial and error. It's possible I already had the "clue" and thought I needed to find the "clue" and come back later, only to hit a new point of no return.

1 by game design, no key/puzzle item can be softlocked from you in previous areas/parts. All the items you need are in that area accessible by items from that area (apart from one, but you get it during game progression). But it is possible not to enter every room and still proceed to next area as not all the rooms hold necessary/key items

2 All "yellow" (on map) locked doors can be opened during playthrough

3 not sure about respawn of stock items (ammo, medkits), the second and so far last run I did I think I haven't died once beside final bossfight and I have noticed item respawn once (probably as a part of game progression) or maybe twice (not sure if I discovered new area in second chapter or if it was respawn). I don't remember them respawning besides these areas in my first run, but I don't remember that one well. So it could be a mechanic, I just haven't noticed it.
To be sure, have one save on start of area and other for progression.
