Buddha Room
| ||||||||||||||||
The Buddha Room is a Buddhist chapel in Himuro Mansion. It connects to the Staircase room and Square Garden (Sq. Garden). There are four large, wooden Buddha statues inside, two on each of the side walls running parallel to each other. The Buddha statues each have damaged limbs,[1] representing the limbs of the Rope Shrine Maiden. When all four of the ceremonial ropes are tied to them in the correct order the door to the large altar on the back wall will open.
The ceiling beams of the Buddha Room form a hidden walkway connecting the Koto Room (via a hidden passage) and the Dungeon. The developers originally planned to include a scene in which Kirie would cross the beams in the Buddha Room to visit her mother in the Koto Room, though this was scrapped from the final game.[2]
