KUROSAWA HOUSE - 2F MASTER'S ROOM (2)

You're in the Master's Room on the 2nd floor of Kurosawa House. As soon as you enter, you might get startled by a demon statue near the entrance.

Prepare for a fight! You'll encounter the Veiled Priest, a mini-boss. He's a medium-difficulty enemy, and Type-14 Films are recommended.

This room is tricky because of a central hexagonal pillar that blocks your view. The Veiled Priest likes to teleport, so be patient. You'll need to circle the pillar to spot him again. Once you see him, quickly switch to Finder Mode so Mio can lock on automatically. Keep up the pressure until he's defeated.

After the fight, you'll be rewarded with a SPIRIT ORB.

Now, thoroughly search the area around the pillar. You'll find the Ceremony's Master Note 2.

Next, examine the sides of the pillar. You need to find five specific books: CRIMSON WING TOME, TABOO TOME, TWIN TOME, DISASTER TOME, and RITUAL TOME.

On the remaining side of the pillar, you'll see a Buddha statue. Examining it will reveal a puzzle: you need to place these five books into five corresponding holes in the correct order.

The clue to the puzzle's solution is hidden within the texts of the books themselves and on the Buddha statue's side. Each book has a single word written in red. When you examine the Buddha statue side, pay close attention to the red text there – it contains the words you need to find in the books. Arrange the books based on the order these words appear in the Buddha statue's text.

The correct order for the books, from left to right, is: Crimson Wing Tome, Taboo Tome, Twin Tome, Disaster Tome, and Ritual Tome.

Once you solve the puzzle, you'll receive the LIGHT KEY.

With the Light Key in hand, your next destination is the 1F Cell. You can now leave the Master's Room.
