The Final Showdown: Blue Spruce Bar at Night
In the thrilling conclusion of "Lost Records: Bloom & Rage," Swann, Autumn, Nora, and Kat are on the verge of their very first punk concert. The night is electric, and the anticipation is palpable as they drive up to The Blue Spruce Bar in Kat’s dad’s old pickup truck. However, their excitement is quickly dampened when they realize the gate to the area behind the bar is locked with a combination padlock, and the power isn’t working. The girls are determined to put on a show, no matter what obstacles stand in their way. This moment is a test of their resolve and creativity, as they must find a way to unlock the gate and restore the power.
Finding the Code
The girls first focus on cracking the code to the padlock. Swann, the quick thinker, suggests that Kat could phone her sister Dylan, who works as a waitress at the bar. Kat is hesitant, knowing that Dylan might suspect something if she asks for the code directly. However, Swann comes up with a clever ruse. If Kat tells Dylan they need the code to help a lost stray cat, Dylan will be more likely to believe the story and provide the code. If you choose this option, Dylan will give you the code: up, right, left, up, down. Enter the code on the padlock, and the gate will swing open, allowing the girls to access the area behind the bar. If you choose one of the other options, such as asking for the code for a more direct reason, Dylan will be suspicious, and you’ll have to find an alternative way in.
The Motorbike and the Hidden Code
Just to the right of the pay phone, the girls notice a motorbike. Swann’s keen eyes spot a pack attached to the bike, and they realize it might hold the key to their dilemma. Kat opens the pack and starts sifting through its contents. Inside, they find a slip of paper clipped to a pager. Flipping the note reveals the code: up, right, left, up, down. The girls quickly enter the code on the padlock, and the gate opens with a satisfying click. They step through, ready to tackle the next challenge.
Fixing the Power
Once behind the bar, the girls spot a breaker panel and a power outlet. Kat, being mechanically minded, knows they need an extension cord to get the power running. She rummages through the boxes and finds the cord on top of one of them. They plug the cord into the outlet, but the outdoor power remains inactive. The girls realize they need to replace the fuses in the breaker panel to get everything working. One fuse is on the shelf to the right, and another is on the floor to the left. After finding both fuses, Kat places them in the panel. The sequence to turn on the power is crucial—tap the switches in this order: 2, 1, 4, 5, 3, 4. The breaker hums to life, and the outdoor lights flicker on, casting a warm glow over the area.
The Final Preparations
With the power restored, the girls are almost ready to start their show. They remember the importance of creating a punk atmosphere, and Swann suggests they place their Bloom & Rage stickers around the bar to generate excitement. The stickers need to be placed in strategic locations: on the back door by the gate, the picnic table, the front of the bar, and the pay phone. Each sticker placement triggers a small cut scene, showing the positive reactions of the people inside. As the stickers go up, the crowd outside begins to gather, and the energy in the air grows.
The Show Must Go On
Finally, everything is set. The crowd outside the Blue Spruce Bar is buzzing with anticipation. The girls take their positions on the makeshift stage, instruments in hand, and the electrifying final scenes begin. People from inside the bar start to spill out, drawn by the music and the punk energy. The concert is a chaotic and exhilarating mix of loud guitars, powerful vocals, and enthusiastic crowd participation. As the music fills the night, the girls realize that this is more than just a show; it’s a moment of rebellion and self-expression that will stay with them forever. The final puzzle in "Lost Records: Bloom & Rage" is not just about breaking into a bar and fixing a power outage; it’s about the unyielding spirit of punk rock and the bonds of friendship that can overcome any obstacle.
