List of Contents
Using the Historical Society Key, enter the Historical Society Building. There is a save point near the entrance, which can be utilized before proceeding through the second door on the left.
Walk to the back end to find a photo of A New Clock in a glass cabinet. Smash the glass to get the photo, then walk back out. Proceed to the following room to find more displays and paintings, as well as a tunnel going down.
You can find the Historical Society Key in the Otherworld Rosewater Park while progressing through the previous chapter, the South Vale Otherworld.
Historical Society Key Location
In a New Game Plus save file, head to the room with the Misty Day, Remains of the Judgement painting. Turn left to find an Obsidian Goblet displayed on the wall, and is one of the items needed to get the Rebirth Ending.
Note that this item is only available in New Game Plus; in a non-New Game Plus file, you will only see a painting of a goblet in its place.
Walk down the dark tunnel. This tunnel is designed to be extremely lengthy, so just keep walking downwards. Reaching the door at the bottom will award the Into The Abyss Trophy.
Proceeding through the door at the end will lead into a prison-like area, with bars and cells. A note on the nearby desk will read Toluca Prison, with a date and a prisoner number.
Exit the room with the note on the desk into a hallway, then turn left. The first room encountered after turning will have more photos to examine, but the 2nd room at the end of the hallway will have a square hole.
Jump down the hole to reach another section of the underground area.
Upon landing, break the walls surrounding James until you can pass through a door that leads to a waterlogged area. Turn right and follow the path until you reach an area with two doors.
The door directly in front will be locked, so go through the door on the right to find a gate in the floor. Then go through another door into an adjoining room to find the Spiral-Writing Key on the floor.
Once you pick up the key, the room will swarm with bugs, and the door will lock itself shut. To leave, you will need to input a code on the keypad by the door. The numbers used for the code will have cleaner buttons than the others.
Buttons 2, 3, and 9 are significantly less grimy than the rest, indicating that these are the numbers in the code. As the code isn't set, keep trying different arrangements of these 3 numbers to unlock the door.
Backtrack to the gate in the floor, and use the Spiral-Writing Key to unlock it. Then, jump down through it. Upon landing, James will awaken in a dimly-lit area of Toluca Prison.
