the door stated that I needed an unlocking tool that i was rewarded with for correctly doing the sequences of the event. it was after going downstairs to the right, the left door is open and a dead end with a note that I can't translate. also pressing 1 doesn't do anything for me in the game unfortunately, even with the item in slot 1.
Viewing post in Reef Light Conundrum is now released! comments
Yeah you went to the wrong location then when you examine the release tool it tells you where it is for ( also says in the popup message when you pick it up) , you need to first go around the ship on the deck, use the release tool you were rewarded with from the ghost puzzle on the storage room, find another release tool inside there and then go down and use that one on the door below. You first unlock the fish gutting knife later on, so that would be why you cant bring it out yet.
