The Red Compartment is a locked storage puzzle you solve by finding and using specific items
The red compartment in Riddle Transfer 2 is a locked box or storage area that requires you to locate three key items hidden elsewhere in the game world, then use them in the correct order to open it. Unlike some puzzles that ask you to solve a riddle or answer a question, this one is purely about exploration and object interaction — you find the items, you use them on the compartment, and it opens.
The puzzle does not have a single solution path that works for everyone, because the game's layout and item locations can vary depending on your game version or how you have progressed. However, the method is always the same: search the environment thoroughly, collect the three items the compartment needs, and explore them in the sequence the compartment indicates.
Key Takeaways
- The red compartment requires three specific items that are hidden in different locations throughout the game world.
- You must search every room and interact with objects to find the items — they do not appear in your inventory automatically.
- Once you have all three items, return to the red compartment and use them in the order it shows or requires.
- If the compartment does not open after using the items, check that you have the correct items and that you are using them in the right sequence.
Where to Search for the Three Required Items
Start by exploring every accessible room in your current area. Open drawers, examine shelves, look inside containers, and click on or interact with every object that appears interactive. The three items you need are usually placed in plain sight but require you to actually click on them or open a container to retrieve them.
Common hiding spots include desks with drawers, shelves with books or objects, locked boxes that open with a key you find elsewhere, and items sitting on tables or the floor. Pay attention to any room you have not fully explored yet — the game often places puzzle items in areas you might pass through quickly.
If you have already explored most areas and found only one or two items, return to rooms you visited earlier. Sometimes an item becomes available only after you have completed another puzzle or progressed further in the game.
How to Use the Items on the Red Compartment
Once you have collected all three items, return to the red compartment's location. Select the first item from your inventory and interact with the compartment — usually by clicking on it or dragging the item onto the compartment. The compartment will either accept it or reject it.
If it accepts the item, a slot or section of the compartment will change or fill. Repeat this process with the second item, then the third. The order matters — if you use them in the wrong sequence, the compartment may reset or refuse to open. Most versions of the puzzle show you which slot or position each item should go into, either through visual cues or by the compartment's reaction.
If the compartment opens, you have solved the puzzle and can collect whatever reward or item is inside. If it does not open after all three items are used, double-check that you have the correct items and try a different order.
What to Do If the Compartment Will Not Open
First, verify that you actually have all three items in your inventory. Open your inventory screen and count them. If you have fewer than three, return to exploring — you may have missed one or it may be in a location you have not reached yet.
Second, try using the items in a different order. If you used them as item A, then B, then C, try A, then C, then B next. Some versions of the puzzle are sensitive to sequence, and the correct order may not be obvious from the compartment's appearance.
Third, make sure you are interacting with the compartment correctly. Some puzzles require you to drag items onto the compartment, while others require you to select an item and then click the compartment. Check the game's control scheme or try both methods.
Common Mistakes That Block Progress
The most common mistake is leaving an area before fully exploring it. Players often move to the next room or puzzle before checking every drawer, shelf, and container in their current location. If you are stuck, go back to the area where the red compartment is located and search it completely.
Another frequent error is using items in the wrong order. If the compartment accepts the first item but rejects the second, or if it opens partially and then closes, you are likely using them in the wrong sequence. Reset by closing the compartment (if possible) and try again with a different order.
Some players also confuse the red compartment with other locked boxes or puzzles in the game. Make sure you are working on the correct compartment — it should be visibly red or labeled as such in the game.
Tips for Faster Puzzle Solving
Take notes or screenshots of any clues the game provides about the compartment or the items it needs. Some versions include hints in dialogue, on signs, or in written notes scattered through the game world.
If you get stuck, try leaving the area and returning later. Sometimes the game requires you to complete other puzzles or progress the story before certain items become available or before the compartment will respond.
Pay attention to the compartment's visual design. If it has three slots, three locks, or three distinct sections, that is a strong signal that you need exactly three items. If the compartment shows pictures or symbols, those may hint at what items you need to find.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I open the red compartment without finding all three items?
No. The compartment requires all three items before it will open. If you use only one or two items, it will not unlock. You must locate all three before returning to the compartment.
What if I used an item on a different puzzle by mistake?
In most versions of Riddle Transfer 2, items do not disappear permanently if you use them elsewhere. You can usually find them again or the game will reset them. If an item truly vanished, you may need to restart from a recent save point.
Does the order of the items matter?
Yes, in most versions the order does matter. If the compartment does not open after you have used all three items, try using them in a different sequence. The correct order is usually indicated by the compartment's design or by trial and error.
Where exactly is the red compartment located?
The red compartment's location depends on which version or level of Riddle Transfer 2 you are playing. It is typically in a central room or an area you visit early in the game. If you cannot find it, check the room descriptions or retrace your steps through areas you have already explored.
Can I solve this puzzle in any order, or must I do it before other puzzles?
Most versions allow you to solve the red compartment puzzle at any time once you have found all three items. However, some game versions may require you to complete other puzzles first. If the compartment will not respond, try progressing through other puzzles and returning later.
