Blue Prince Cloister room puzzle solutionThe first step to solving the Cloister puzzle is tracking down the room itself. Since it's a Green Room, you'll want to prioritize that color when drafting.

Aside from the coin, you can dig up spots here with your trusty Shovel. Those who don't have this item can find it in areas like the Toolshed or Courtyard. If you happen to see the Cloister again in another playthrough, you may not be able to gain another Allowance Coin.
