How to get the key (SPOILERS)
Hi there,

I was stuck for a while trying to get the key behind the mirror. Eventually I just walked over to it (through the mirror into the room behind it) and grabbed it. That doesn't seem to be the right solution, though. How would you do it in standing or seated mode? You certainly can't walk that far on PSVR, too.

EDIT: Boll is right, you can actually teleport into the crack. Man, it's so EASY! And it stumped me for... well, 20 minutes at least.

I was stuck on this for a while as well, until I randomly figured it out: take the miniature ladder from the model and put it next to the full size mirror before you travel there as a miniature, then you can teleport up on the ladder and into the space where the key is. 😅 I first tried stacking objects for the longest time to get in there, but that did not work!

Ok... I figured out the ladder, but I couldn't teleport in there... at least it seemed that way. Maybe I should have tried harder... Thanks :)

I also tried the stacking and poking at it with any long object I could find...

Haha same here, took me a while to figure out.

I don't know if there's an actual way to teleport in there but you have extensible hand. But even with hand extended, I still had to reach in there a little bit.

Just came in here to say thanks. This problem was really annoying and quite immersion breaking for me. I could see the key without the ladder . I could also reach it and touch it with the extended hand... so I found it rather frustrating that it would not let me get it.

Also tried the stacking and poking as others have mentioned. Which by the games logic should have worked.

This sort of awkward mechanic (where a game wont let you do something that should work) was annoying enough in old-school point and click games. Here in VR, it's on a whole other level of annoying.

I tried moving the miniature ladder from the model but as soon as I went there in miniature myself (via the fish), the ladder was no longer there! I tried multiple times, and every time, the ladder was back where it originally was. Stumped.

About everything I've moved over there gets reset on teleport. Build up the boxes, cup and cube to be a pedestal? Nope. Reset. Pans? Nope. Reset. The outside wall of the building? Stays there, but isn't able to be climbed upon. Use the fire poker to get the key out? Nope, no interaction. Fish bone? Doesn't seem to fit, so doesn't feel like a valid solution.

If the ladder is suppose to be the solution, I call ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ because I can't move stuff while small, and just about everything that I have moved pops back to default on swim.

Also, the reminder message plays about every thirty seconds. After 20 times, I got pissed off at the narrator for being so damn repetitive.

After reading this thread, then going back in game, I tried to move the ladder from inside the model to current stage, dropping down the ladder's size. There was a shadow popin spot for where the ladder was to go.

That sounds about right. So were you able to place the ladder? Once that works and you have the tiny ladder standing at the mirror, you just ride the fish to the shelf and you can use the ladder to reach the gap.
