Forgotten Memories in DOORS — How to Enter The Archives from The Hotel

Updated 03.10.2026· Author: Mark K

Where to get it

This badge is hidden behind a closet in a side room at door 60. You earn Forgotten Memories by entering The Archives, and the first time, you’ll have to get there from The Hotel with a Skeleton Key and two Lockpicks.

How to get it

Before door 60, collect two Lockpicks and a Skeleton Key. You’re guaranteed to find a Skeleton Key for sale at Jeff Shop in The Hotel.
Find the side room and squeeze behind the closet into the hidden maze.
Make your way through the maze to an Archives-style room with door A-000.
Unlock the door with your two Lockpicks first, then the Skeleton Key. The Archives are right behind it, and the badge is yours.

How hard is it?

It’s a medium-rarity badge. The hard part isn’t getting in—it’s carrying all three items to door 60 without using them along the way.

Tip

I wouldn’t use your Lockpicks on any chests before entering The Archives, tempting as it might be. Two Lockpicks for the entrance are worth more than any Gold in a chest.

Lock Order for Door A-000

Use the Lockpicks first, then the Key. A Skeleton Key alone can’t open the regular locks at the entrance. You need Lockpicks for those, and the Key for the skull lock.

The skull lock uses up four durability points from the Key at once. But even a Key with less than four durability will still open it. So if you’ve already used the Key once in The Hotel, don’t worry.

What to Do If You’re Short a Lockpick

This is the most common problem: you reach the door to The Archives with only one Lockpick. In my opinion, you should just treat that badge run as practice. After it happened to me a couple of times, I started counting my Lockpicks while I was at Jeff Shop.

The Skeleton Key is easier to get. Besides the shop, it can sometimes drop from containers, but the chance is very low. Don’t count on it.

Why Not Use the Lobby?

You can also reach The Archives by taking an elevator from the Lobby. But you can only create that elevator for free after you’ve made it through A-000 at least once. So your first visit and the badge still require going through The Hotel, while the Lobby is for later visits. A fair price for a subfloor.
