Master the Doll Stand Room puzzle in Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly! Get the Butterfly Key and find a hidden ghost with this step-by-step guide.

Alright, you've made it to the Doll Stand Room on the second floor of Kurosawa House. The goal here is to solve a sliding tile puzzle to get the Butterfly Key. It sounds a bit tricky, but we'll get through it together!

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    First things first, head over to the doll shelves. You'll need to interact with them by pressing the [X] button.
  2. 2
    You should have already picked up the Twin Doll Heads. Now, you need to place them onto the two red dolls.
  3. 3
    This triggers the Doll Shelves Puzzle. The objective is to get the two twin dolls you just placed into the top row.
  4. 4
    The puzzle board has a single empty space, currently in the third row. You'll be sliding the dolls around this empty space. Think of it like a 15-puzzle or a sliding tile game.
  5. 5
    There are many ways to solve this, but here's a sequence that works. The dolls are numbered 1 through 12, with 'H' representing unmovable dolls and '[]' being the empty space.
  6. 6
    The puzzle has a time limit of 60 seconds, so don't panic if you don't get it on the first try. You can retry as many times as you need.
  7. 7
    Here's the sequence of moves: 7 -> 10 -> 9 -> 6 -> 7 -> 10 -> 11 -> 8 -> 4 -> 3 -> 7 -> 10 -> 11 -> 8 -> 4 -> 2 -> 1 -> 3 -> 7 -> 8 -> 7 -> 2 -> 1 -> 3.
  8. 8
    Once you complete the puzzle, you'll receive the [BUTTERFLY KEY]. This is super important because it unlocks another door back in the Entrance area.
  9. 9
    Keep an eye out for a new hidden ghost that appears here. When the filament on your Camera Obscura starts to glow, aim it at the dark area to the right of the doll shelves. Snap a picture of the [Doll Stand Shadow] to get 1000 points.
  10. 10
    After you've got the key and snapped the ghost, it's time to leave this room. Head back through the Flickering Room and make your way into the Guest Room.
Tips
  • Don't stress too much about the 60-second time limit. It's more than enough time once you know the sequence. Just focus on executing the moves correctly.
  • If you mess up a move, you can usually backtrack a few steps or just restart the puzzle. It's better to restart than to get stuck in a bad position.
  • Remember to look for the hidden ghost! These are great for extra points and can help you upgrade your camera later.
