Stuck trying to get the lift working in Risk of Rain Returns? Follow this guide to navigate the building, find Molina, and power up the lift to continue your journey.

Alright, so you've found yourself in a bit of a bind, huh? Trying to get that lift to cooperate? No worries, I've got your back. This place can be a bit of a maze, but it's nothing we can't handle together.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    First off, don't worry about any enemies on these initial floors – the first four are clear. When you enter the first room, head through the door at the back and then go right. You'll see a lift, but it's busted. Just ignore it for now and head up the stairs to the right of the entrance to get to the next floor.
  2. 2
    Once you're up, just wind your way around the tables and stools. Keep going until you reach a door leading to a corridor. As soon as you step through, a girl will bolt. Don't waste your time checking the empty boxes scattered around; there's nothing in them. Keep walking past the lift, sticking to the bottom of the corridor. It might look like a dead end, but trust me, there's a way through.
  3. 3
    There's nothing to find if you head down the stairs here, so just head up to the next floor. You'll see the girl again, and she'll run off once more. This part's a little weird because the view changes, and you'll be looking out through a broken wall. Head left from here, and you'll spot the stairs leading up to the next floor. Climb 'em.
  4. 4
    On this floor, you can wander left and check out the area, but honestly, there's nothing to find. Instead, go through the door at the bottom of the screen and head left. You'll find the girl again. Don't stress about what you say to her; your answer doesn't really matter.
  5. 5
    After she leaves, move forward and check out the manhole cover. Climb down it, and you'll find Molina, Tumack's daughter. Your next move is to check the computer and select "ON." This is the magic button that gets the lift working!
  6. 6
    Now that the lift is powered up, head right and hop in. You'll find yourself on floor 3, and get this – there are 20 floors in total! If you ever need to get back to the bottom floor and out of this place, you can use the lift to do so.
Tips
  • Don't get sidetracked by empty containers; they're just there to make you waste time.
  • The seemingly dead-end corridors are usually the path forward, so don't be afraid to push through.
  • Molina is key to getting the lift working, so make sure you find her and interact with the computer.
