Endacopia Camera Location Guide
The Endacopia camera is one of three critical items scattered across the beach area in Timesville. Players need this item to progress through Ending C, specifically to unlock the VHS tape puzzle that leads to the Chameleon encounter in Chapter 3.
Beach Items
- Lockpick: Used for Mirianne's house
- Fish Paper: Unlocks old key secret
- Camera: Required for VHS tape
Prerequisites
- Obtain the metal detector
- Complete bone arrangement puzzle
- Lower the metal detector on beach
- Access the beach freely
Best Search Time
- Daytime: Collect all three items
- Nighttime: Return for the hole-in-wall clue
- Items persist across time phases
Search the beach thoroughly during the daytime phase first. All three items—the lockpick, fish paper, and camera—spawn in different spots across the sand. Once collected, return at night to examine the hole in the wall for the glow-in-the-dark clue.
| Item | Location Zone | Primary Use | Quest Stage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Camera | Beach (sand area) | VHS tape puzzle (Ch. 3) | After metal detector |
| Lockpick | Beach (near rocks) | Mirianne's house break-in | Before blackmail scene |
| Fish Paper | Beach (shoreline) | Old key secret unlock | Timesville side quest |
How the Camera Unlocks the VHS Tape
After obtaining the Endacopia camera, players must pair it with the VHS player to access a hidden room puzzle. The VHS player comes from a separate questline involving Beartha and the Black Rose tribute.
Obtain the VHS Player
Talk to Beartha on the beach and ask about gossip, then ask about the crime. Use the lockpick on the middle-right room in Mirianne's house. Roll into the wheel to open the secret wall, then blackmail Squiggles into revealing where he lost the PGD. Use the metal detector on the far left of the beach to find it. Return it to Beartha for a Black Rose, then place it on the cow's mother's grave (the first one) to receive the VHS player.
Find the VHS Tape Clue
Go to the beach and locate the hole in the wall. Look into the hole during nighttime to activate the glow-in-the-dark toy. This toy depicts how a specific room should be arranged and serves as the visual key for the puzzle.
Arrange the Room
Go to the small room after the waterfall during the daytime. Close the main window and the left window. Drop the orange ball into the bowl. Activate the fan and light. Move the button to cause three birds to appear with the ball connected to the TV, then shift it to the left.
Retrieve the VHS Tape
Enter the large room during nighttime. The correct arrangement from Step 3 will have unlocked access, granting you the VHS tape.
The glow-in-the-dark toy clue only activates at night. If you look into the hole during the day, nothing will appear. Always switch Timesville to nighttime before checking the beach wall hole.
VHS Tape Password and the Chameleon Fight
The VHS tape contains hidden codes that form a password. This password is required to access the area behind the waterfall where the Chameleon (also known as Ozzie or Ollie) resides.
| Password Position | Order | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 1st | Center | First code found in tape |
| 2nd | Right side | Second code found in tape |
| 3rd | Bottom right | Third code found in tape |
| 4th | Bottom left | Fourth code found in tape |
| 5th | Top | Final code found in tape |
Once you have all five codes, head to the waterfall area in Timesville. Find the hole in the wall and enter the password on the door. This opens the path to the Chameleon's lair.
You can fight the Chameleon directly to earn the No Strings Attached achievement. Alternatively, skip the fight by telling the Chameleon his real name (Ozzie or Ollie, depending on what his gravestone says), then describe his story as morbid, impactful, and ironic to earn the Case Closed achievement instead.
Beach Item Collection Checklist
Before leaving the beach area, make sure you have collected everything needed for the camera and VHS questline. Missing any item will block progression.
Beach Collection Goals:
- Obtain the metal detector from the shed
- Find the camera on the beach sand
- Collect the lockpick near the rocks
- Pick up the fish paper on the shoreline
- Talk to Beartha and ask about the crime
- Find the PGD with the metal detector
- Return PGD to Beartha for the Black Rose
- Place Black Rose on the cow mother's grave
- Check the hole in the wall at night
Most beach items can be collected in any order during the daytime. However, the Black Rose quest requires the metal detector first, so prioritize unlocking the shed before searching the beach thoroughly.
Achievements Linked to the Camera Questline
The camera and VHS questline ties directly into several achievements in Endacopia. Here is a breakdown of what you can earn.
| Achievement | Requirement | Method |
|---|---|---|
| Case Closed | Skip the Chameleon fight | Tell his real name and describe his story |
| No Strings Attached | Defeat the Chameleon | Fight and win the encounter |
| Stay | Complete Ending C | Finish all three chapters and beat Clockey |
| I Want To Be A Fisherman | Catch all 18 fish | Catch 3 exclusive fish per hour cycle |
If you are going for all achievements, note that Case Closed and No Strings Attached are mutually exclusive on a single playthrough. You will need to replay or use a separate save to obtain both.
Common Issues and FAQ
Q: Where exactly is the Endacopia camera located?
The camera is found on the beach in Timesville. Search the sand area after lowering the metal detector. It spawns alongside the lockpick and fish paper, so collect all three in one trip.
Q: Do I need the camera for all endings or just Ending C?
The camera is specifically required for Ending C progression. It unlocks the VHS tape puzzle in Chapter 3, which leads to the Chameleon encounter. Other endings may not require this item.
Q: Can I get the VHS tape without the glow-in-the-dark clue?
No. The glow-in-the-dark toy in the beach wall hole shows the exact room arrangement needed. Without seeing it at night, you cannot solve the waterfall room puzzle to retrieve the VHS tape.
Q: What happens if I enter the wrong password at the waterfall?
You can re-enter the password as many times as needed. Revisit the TV room in Timesville at night, play the VHS tape again, and double-check the hidden codes. The password order follows the 1st through 5th positions displayed on the wall.
