Where To Find All The Microchips In Blue Prince

Are you looking for Microchips in Blue Prince? These tiny items can be used in a couple of areas in the estate, and doing so grants a permanent perk. There are also cryptic clues that help you ascertain their location. In any case, our guide discusses all these details, but we do want to warn you that there will be spoilers ahead.

Where to find all Microchips in Blue Prince - Microchip locations guide

There are three Microchips in the game. The first one that you find might surprise you, as it's also how you'll learn about the existence of the others. This guide will discuss where you can find the clues first in case you want to search for the items on your own. Then, towards the later part of the article, we talk about their actual locations.

The first Blue Prince Microchip that you're likely to spot can be found in the pedestal in Blackbridge Grotto. Throughout most of the game, you're probably not aware that these items even exist. Then, once you see the two other notches in the pedestal, you'll know that you'll have to look for two others.

Note: If you stumbled upon this guide by accident, just know that the Blackbridge Grotto appears as a location outside the mansion once you've completed the Laboratory Puzzle. The location's permanent perk allows you to hack one offline terminal when you're using a different computer. For instance, you can still access lab experiments from the Security Room or Office even if you haven't drafted the Laboratory during a particular run.

For those who want to find the other Blue Prince Microchips on their own, we suggest reading a book called A New Clue. Here's a quick summary:

• You may purchase new books from the Bookstore. It's a room that has to be drafted adjoining the Library.
• You then need to request A New Clue via the check-out document in the Library. It should appear on the table the next day.

A New Clue offers some of the coolest tidbits in the game, including hints to other puzzles and secrets. As for the Microchips themselves, well, there are visual hints seen on the pages of the book.

One of the pages in A New Clue shows a person standing in an empty hallway. The floors look eerily similar to the manor's grid-like construction, too. Behind the person, you'll see a hammer and a vase.

There's yet another clue on the pages of A New Clue. There's a photo of "Corner Cases" and several rooms have check marks. These include the Patio, Office, Nook, and Pantry. It just so happens that these rooms have notes, and you'll notice something conspicuous when you read them.

It's very likely that you've passed by the location of a Blue Prince Microchip without ever noticing that it was there the entire time. The item is actually inside the ornate vase at the left-hand side of the Entrance Hall. You do need a Sledge Hammer to break the vase.

As for the third Microchip, take a look at the messages on the aforementioned notes. Notice the italicized words?

• Patio: Buried
• Office: Beside
• Nook: West
• Pantry: Bridgette

The clue tells you that something is "buried beside west bridge." There's a good chance that you already have access to this location, especially after you've opened the Garage Door. So, just head to the area and make sure you have a Shovel with you.

Look closely at the ground next to the right-hand side of the bridge (when facing the shed). Your cursor should turn into a different icon, allowing you to dig a hidden mound.

After obtaining all three Microchips in Blue Prince, head back to Blackbridge Grotto and place them in the niches of the pedestal. Then, go through the passageway to pick up the Throne Room blueprint. It's a Found Floorplan that you can draft inside the manor.

Note: The Blackbridge Grotto also has another interesting secret involving the admin keys, but we won't discuss that loose thread here.

Oh, you thought you're already done? Well, not quite, because A New Clue offers more interesting hints. These pertain to a sundial that's scorched. And, you know what, the location is fairly close, too.

Simply make your way to the Apple Orchard, which you've probably unlocked earlier in your playthrough. At the back of the yard, you'll notice a sundial. So, how exactly does the sundial get scorched? Well, just use something that can light candles/fuses. Click and interact with it to apply the scorch marks, then rotate it. It should open up to reveal indentations where you can place the Microchips.

This unlocks a permanent perk/fixture, the Satellite Dish. With it, you can access more emails from SYNKA and staff via computer terminals. Even better, you can download a packet that adds all sorts of options for your lab experiments.

That does it for our Blue Prince Microchips guide. We hope you enjoyed this little hunt and that you're eager to discover more secrets.
