How to open the jaguar door

Checked 2026-10-16. Steam build 25955406. Patch 1.0.47.0.

I checked the demo note before the furnace costs, because a lot of “it will not open” posts are still on app 3618740. NPC Tips says the demo jaguar door does not open. The full game does, after three casts. I have not visited the three mold rooms, and the notes do not name them.

The cast

You need three key pieces. Each piece has a mold. Put a mold in the large furnace, add 5 coal and 8 scrap metal, run it, and repeat for the other two molds. Fit the three pieces into the jaguar door.

You reach that corridor after the hammer, the iron key, and a second key cast for the hall itself. The prison-key chest is described as near this furnace. The silver dagger is what players find behind the door, and they use it on ghosts.

  1. Get the hammer and break the rusty bars that gate the sewers.
  2. Use the iron key, then the second furnace-cast key, to open the hall that ends at the jaguar door.
  3. Find the three molds. Their rooms are not named in the file notes I read.
  4. For each mold: large furnace, 5 coal, 8 scrap metal, start the cast.
  5. Seat the three key pieces in the door. The demo never completes this.

Questions

Why is the jaguar door dead in the demo?

The demo build notes say that door is not part of the demo. Install the full game.
