Quick answer: Ring the Crimson Manor bell, walk to the red double door about 16 m away, and press E on the tongueless face. The Mute talks, then the gate opens.
Where to use it
Use the tongue at the Crimson Manor Main Gate. The Crimson Manor bell is roughly 16 m away, and the Mute is the puppet face set in the gate’s center.
Before you head there, you need two things in place:
- After you open all three doors in The Herald’s Illusion, the Three-Eyed Puppet gives you the Puppet’s Tongue.
- Reach the gate by passing through the cracked wall, then taking the lift.
How to use it
What the Mute says
With its tongue back, the Mute has plenty to say:
“Back in the sect, I was quite a chatter…”
“All my senior and junior brothers loved to talk with me…”
“You here for that shiny eyeball too, aren’t you?”
“Heheh, I’d think twice about that if I were you!”
“Obviously, I’m not going to tell you it’s under the Crimson Manor…”
“But that place… it’s got…”
Soul cuts the Mute off before it can finish: “Sorry, you’ve said enough.”
After the door opens
When the conversation ends, the door swings open and you can walk into the hall beyond. It’s hung with curtains and lanterns, with a blue flame burning in the middle.
A Crimson Manor banner appears as the quest updates.
The Mute’s “shiny eyeball” refers to the Crystal Puppet Eye [Yang], part of the Crimson Manor quest. The Three-Eyed Puppet directs you to retrieve that eye.
