The Medium: Puzzle solutions for Niwa Resort, Red House, and more

Your journey in The Medium is fairly straightforward. However, a few puzzles in Niwa Resort, the Red House, the Water Plant, and others might prove to be tricky. Here's our puzzle solutions guide to help you out. Note: For more information, check out our guides and features hub for The Medium. Likewise, please be reminded that this guide contains minor spoilers. The Medium: Puzzle solutions guide You can refer to the pages below for The Medium's puzzles that you need help with: Niwa Resort - Thomas Reckowicz's office Niwa Resort - Dayroom The Red House The Bunker - Keypad The Bunker - The Water Plant Niwa Resort - Thomas Reckowicz's office Let's talk about the puzzles in Thomas Reckowicz's office. Use Insight to find the hidden switch behind the cabinet as well as the key under the desk. The switch can't be activated yet because it needs power. For now, use the key on the grandfather clock. You'll be able to turn back the clock, seeing Thomas' activities in the room at different hours. You'll notice a spirit well at 4 o'clock, so let Marianne use it to charge up. Continue turning back the clock until you see Thomas opening the secret door behind the cabinet. Have an out-of-body experience so Marianne's spirit form can enter the room. Use a spirit blast to power-up the breaker. Return to Marianne's body and press the switch. You'll find yourself in a darkroom used for printing photos. Find the three liquids, basins, and photo paper and follow the remaining steps: Add the liquids to each basin. Illuminate the photo paper for five seconds using the light. Dip it in the developer liquid for three seconds. Then, another three seconds in the stop bath. Finally, three more seconds in the fixer. Niwa Resort - Dayroom Let's talk about the puzzle in Niwa Resort's Dayroom. Check out all the clues in the Dayroom, including the two music sheets. Next, have an out-of-body experience so Marianne's spirit form can go through the room at the upper right corner. Pick up a wooden piece known as "The Equator." Place it inside the globe in the spirit world. Click on the three fragments until the arrangement looks like a face. Rotate the globe in the material world: If you rotate it until you see China, it opens a nook that lets you grab an eerie child's drawing. If you rotate it until you see Morocco/the western tip of Africa, that opens up the balcony. Have an out-of-body experience so Marianne can go through the balcony to reach the next room. You can cut through the flesh wall so her physical form can enter the room later. Here, you'll find the third and final music sheet. Combining all three and completing the recollection activates the spirit well. Charge up and go through the moths to reach the next area. The Red House The Medium's puzzle in the Red House uses all the mechanics you've come to know as you progressed in the game. Inside the ruins of the house, you'll find a fireplace with a photo that you can grab. Find two more photos scattered amongst the red leaves. Arrange the pictures on the fireplace's mantle in this manner: Wedding photo Husband, pregnant wife, and daughter Husband and two daughters Use the mirror to travel to the spirit world's version of the living room. Rip open the flesh container to get a butterfly. Check the fireplace for a mask. In the material world's living room, you'll notice that the dollhouse can be opened. Take the tiny mirror and place it inside the room on the left. Use the mirror to teleport to the spirit world's version of that bedroom. Check all the spots here for a fish toy, a butterfly, and a mask. There's a nook with three statues that you can place masks on, but we still need to find the third. Return to the living room and place the tiny mirror in the dollhouse's right-side room. Here, you'll find two butterflies: one inside a flesh container and another after you place the fish toy on the hanging bracket. Inspect the bed to solve the butterfly puzzle. Place the butterflies in this order: red, yellow, white, blue. This reveals the third and final mask. Return to the left-side bedroom and place all three masks on the statues to finish The Medium's Red House puzzle. Next, you'll need to find a code for the Bunker's keypad. The Bunker - Keypad After solving The Medium's puzzle in the Red House, you'll need to enter the Bunker. Check the locker room to find a couple of clues: There's a receipt from a watch shop. The date of the order is 1976. Inside the locker, you'll find a box for the watch itself. There's a dedication for a 10-year anniversary. Since the watch was ordered in 1976, having a 10-year anniversary means the couple was married in 1966. Input "1966" in the keypad to open the door. You'll find yourself in the Bunker - Water Plant area. The Bunker - Water Plant The Bunker has a Water Plant puzzle that you need to solve. Make your way through the corridors until you reach a stairwell that leads down (seen below). This is the east chamber and, for now, the only thing you could do is charge Marianne's spirit-based abilities using the well. Use your blast to power-up the switch at the Water Plant's entrance. This will open the door to the control room so you don't need to do a full rotation. Oh, and you might want to fix the loose wiring that you'll see along the eastern corridor. Anyway, take note of the map of the area: The objective here is to drain all the water from the western and eastern chambers. Doing so will let you reach the central chamber and the exit. By default, all three chambers (west, east, center) are half-full. As such, you'll want to do the following: Transfer the central chamber's water to the western chamber. Transfer the eastern chamber's water to the central chamber. This will drain the waters of the eastern chamber completely. Return to the spot where you charged your spirit abilities earlier and continue down the lower area. Find the valve and use it on the pipe. This will let you funnel the eastern chamber's waters to a tank instead of using the other chambers. Next, go back to the control room. Use the buttons to fully drain the western area this time. The depths of the western chamber has lots of moths, but you can get past them by popping your shield. Interact with the valve, get your spirit form fully-charged, and return to the control room. Now, you should be able to drain the central chamber completely. Make your way there (I used the eastern chamber). You'll encounter the Maw here. The creature's guarding the exit. In my case, I held "F" for an out-of-body experience, then I rushed towards the monster. When Marianne got grabbed, I pressed "F" again to stun it (I think this is possible since I had a full spirit charge). That allowed me to run in the physical world. Anyway, just activate the switch to electrocute the Maw. The Medium is available via Steam, Epic, and the Xbox Game Pass. For more information, check out our guides and features hub.
