Endacopia Beginner Guide - First 3 Puzzles, CHESHIRE and Clocky

Updated August 1, 2026 First puzzles CHESHIRE

Quick Answer

For a first Endacopia run, solve these blockers in order: power the computer and run Doors.exe, use the spinning chair/vent route to reach the kitchen, solve the fridge for cheese, use cheese to lure the cockroach and get two coins, feed the Wall Bank to reveal CHESHIRE, then beat Clocky with timed blocks and short counters before entering the bathroom/toilet route.

Official Steam Media Reference

Official Endacopia Steam screenshot showing Mellow's room with the computer and clock — The first blockers start in Mellow's room: computer, framed wall creature, chair, vent, and the hallway route.

These are official Steam store screenshots used as temporary visual references. Replace them with your own route-specific screenshots after capture.

Spoiler Scope

This beginner guide covers the opening house / demo-style route only. It is written for players stuck in the first 30 to 40 minutes before Chapter I opens up. For the later full-game route, use the full walkthrough.

First 3 Puzzle Blockers

Blocker	Fast Solution	Common Mistake
1. Computer / Doors.exe	Plug the cable under the desk, boot the computer, choose Mellow's profile, and run Doors.exe to open the first route.	Only inspecting the computer once. Try the usable cable/boot sequence before leaving the room.
2. Vent / Kitchen / Fridge	Spin the chair three times, crawl through the vent, hide from Henry, solve the fridge chain, and take the cheese.	Trying to force the hallway first, or missing the chair/vent route in Mellow's room.
3. Cheese / Coins / Wall Bank	Use cheese in Mellow's room, step on the cockroach, collect both coins, then feed the Wall Bank to reveal `CHESHIRE`.	Trying to pick up the cockroach by hand, or feeding the Wall Bank before collecting both coins.

Puzzle 1: Computer And Doors.exe

Start in Mellow's room. Inspect the computer area and the cable under the desk.
Power the computer. Plug in the cable, boot the computer, and select Mellow's profile.
Run Doors.exe. Use the program to open the door route. This sets up the hallway and bathroom visit.
Do not skip the room. The same room also contains the chair/vent path and the Wall Bank coin puzzle, so you will return here several times.

Puzzle 2: Vent, Henry, And Fridge Cheese

Step	Action	Result
Open vent	Spin the chair in Mellow's room three times.	The vent route opens.
Kitchen entry	Crawl through the vent and follow the path into the kitchen.	You reach the kitchen puzzle area.
Henry stealth	Hide in the right cabinet when Henry approaches and spam-click the left cabinet to misdirect him.	Henry leaves and the fridge puzzle can continue.
Fridge chain	Use hammer on dice box; press 1, 2, 3; place yellow triangle, blue rectangle, red circle; confirm; click ghost; use key; flip both switches; pull fridge handle.	You obtain cheese.
Return	Go back through the vent and mash A during the tentacle grab.	You return to Mellow's room with cheese.

Puzzle 3: Cheese, Coins, And CHESHIRE

Use the cheese in Mellow's room. This lures out the cockroach connected to the framed creature / Wall Bank puzzle chain.
Step on the cockroach. Mellow will not simply pick it up. Stomping it drops two coins.
Collect both coins. Missing one coin blocks the Wall Bank exchange.
Feed the Wall Bank. After both coins are given, the password is revealed: CHESHIRE.
Use the password later. Return to the bathroom/toilet sequence after Clocky and enter CHESHIRE when prompted.

Clocky Boss Tips

Clocky is less about attacking fast and more about rhythm. Watch the clock hands, block the strike, then counter with two hits. A third hit is only safe when stamina is still healthy. If stamina drops too low, skip the counter and wait for the next block cycle.

Problem	Fix
I keep getting hit.	Block when the clock hands begin the attack animation. Blocking early or late can fail.
I run out of stamina.	Use two-hit counters instead of spamming attacks. Keep enough stamina to block the next charge.
Clocky will not die.	Repeat the block/counter cycle. Community guides describe roughly six successful rounds.
