Red Area

Spoiler alert! This article may contain spoilers.

The beginning of the Red Area.

The Red Area is one of the areas of the cursed gallery in the game Ib. As the name implies, the entire flooring of each room in the area is red.

Walkthrough

The area starts off with a hallway leading south. As Ib follows the path, she will find Breath. Continuing on, she will arrive at a red door. To the left is a secret passageway leading to Soul-Sapping Throng, and on the right is a save point. After passing through the door, she will end up in a room with Uh, Ah, Heartbeat, Smoking Gentleman, Heart Wounds, Peacock Pattern, and The Lady in Red. If Ib interacts with The Lady in Red, the Lady in Red will break out of her painting and give chase to Ib. The Red Key will also appear on the floor. By obtaining the Red Key and unlocking the door at the center of the room, Ib will arrive at a library. On the shelf near the door is the book Carrie Careless and the Galette des Rois, and Ib will have to find it and push it in in order to unlock the door to the next room. After entering the new room, Ib will find a save point and a blue vase, under Eternal Blessing. If Ib heads right, she will encounter Garry lying on the ground in pain. If she interacts with him, Ib will obtain the Small Key from him. Ib should then head back to the center room and then left. Upon entering the left room, Ib will find Forsaken Shelter Under Cloth and The Lady in Blue, but The Lady in Blue has broken out and is missing from her painting. Ib should use the Small Key to unlock the door at the center, which leads into a small room where The Lady in Blue can be seen plucking petals off of a Blue Rose, which is the source of Garry's pain, as the rose belongs to him. Ib should retrieve Garry's rose from the Lady in Blue and escape from her and the room. After exiting, Ib should quickly head right, as The Lady in Blue will pound against the window before breaking through. When Ib enters the center room again, The Lady in Blue will stop giving chase. Ib should then head back to where Garry is and return his rose. After a short cutscene, Ib should head right to encounter a male headless statue blocking a door. Garry will then help move the headless statue out of the way, allowing passage through the door. When Ib passes through, she will arrive at the Gray Area.
