Blue Prince: Compass Guide

The Compass is a simple but useful item in Blue Prince. You won’t use it to unlock anything or solve a puzzle, but once it’s in your inventory, you’ll start noticing something weird: your drafted rooms are suddenly pointing north a lot more often.

What the Compass Does
When held, it increases the chance that drafted floorplans will point north
Doesn’t guarantee north-facing doors. Just makes them more likely
Passive effect, no activation needed
Can be found randomly in loot-heavy rooms like the Closet, Attic, or Courtyard
It’s the game’s way of letting you argue with its floorplan.
Why the Compass is Useful
Helps steer your estate layout if you’re trying to reach a northern objective
Useful for dodging certain room types or avoiding barriers that blocked you in previous runs
Can help you line up awkward puzzle rooms that need precise placement
Especially handy when you know a key location (like the Antechamber or Garden) is in a specific direction
It’s not that insane, but it’s great for subtle map control in a game that rarely gives you any.
Final Blurb
The Compass doesn’t shout or sparkle—it just quietly tugs your map north. Use it when you’re trying to nudge your run in a specific direction, or when you’re tired of walking in circles. In Blue Prince, every little advantage matters and this one just happens to point up.
