Guide to defeating the Veiled Priest in the Kurosawa House Master's Room, solving the book puzzle, and obtaining the Light Key in Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly.
Walkthrough
- 1You'll find yourself in a room with a central hexagonal pillar and a demon statue near the entrance. The Veiled Priest will appear. This room is more complicated than the Family Altar Room due to the pillar obstructing your view.
- 2When the Veiled Priest teleports, be patient and circle the pillar until you can see him. Once spotted, immediately switch to Finder Mode. Mio will automatically aim at him. Keep firing with your Camera Obscura using Type-14 Films (recommended) until he's defeated. The strategy is similar to previous encounters, but the room's layout makes it harder to track him.
- 3After defeating the Veiled Priest, a [SPIRIT ORB] will appear as your reward.
- 4Now, search around the central pillar to find the [Ceremony's Master Note 2].
- 5Next, examine each side of the pillar to find five specific books: [CRIMSON WING TOME], [TABOO TOME], [TWIN TOME], [DISASTER TOME], and [RITUAL TOME].
- 6On the remaining side of the pillar, you'll find a Buddha statue. Examine it to trigger a puzzle: you need to place the five books you found into five corresponding holes in the correct order.
- 7The solution to this puzzle is hidden within the texts of the books and the clue on the Buddha statue's side. Each book has a word written in red. Read the red text on the Buddha statue's side carefully and find the words mentioned in the books. Arrange the books according to the order of those words as they appear in the Buddha statue's text.
- 8The correct order for the books, from left to right, is:
- 91. Crimson Wing Tome
- 102. Taboo Tome
- 113. Twin Tome
- 124. Disaster Tome
- 135. Ritual Tome
- 14Once the puzzle is solved, you'll receive the [LIGHT KEY].
- 15With the Light Key in hand, you can now leave this room and head back to the 1F Cell.
Tips
- The Veiled Priest can be tough in this room because the pillar blocks your line of sight. Be patient and don't rush your shots. Wait until you have a clear lock with Finder Mode.
- Make sure to collect all five tomes before attempting the puzzle.
- Pay close attention to the red text on the books and the Buddha statue's clue; it's the key to solving the puzzle quickly.
