Follow this step-by-step guide to acquire the Basement Key in MiSide, detailing how to find items, power up the portal machine, and restore power.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Interact with the phone on the desk, check the message, and download the app.
  2. 2
    Help Mita by picking up her laundry, cooking soup (prepping ingredients and cutting veggies by dragging a slider), and earning 450 by playing minigames to buy a portable TV.
  3. 3
    Find Mita's hairbrush in the kitchen cabinet beside the dining table (do not look in the oven on your first playthrough if you wish to make a specific choice later).
  4. 4
    Move the wardrobe by clicking the blinking grid space in Mita's room.
  5. 5
    After the day changes, give Mita a present.
  6. 6
    Enter the game world and go to the bedroom. Power up the portal machine by pressing the blinking red button.
  7. 7
    Find the three required items: Bowknot (bathroom sink counter), Pencil (bedroom side cabinet or desk), and Spoon (kitchen near sink or on table). Locations may vary.
  8. 8
    Place the items on the scanner and press the blinking red button to scan them. Power up the machine again and stand on the portal pad.
  9. 9
    The power will go out. Go to the front door and interact with the fuse box to the right to restore power.
  10. 10
    Return to the portal console and find the four missing batteries:
  11. 11
    Battery 1: Bathroom cabinet beside the sink.
  12. 12
    Battery 2: Kitchen counter near the sink.
  13. 13
    Battery 3: Living room in front of the radio.
  14. 14
    Battery 4: Inside the kitchen fridge. After collecting this, pick up the fallen magnets and place them back on the fridge.
  15. 15
    Place the batteries in their blinking red spots inside the machine.
  16. 16
    Push the power button again and stand on the portal pad.
  17. 17
    Walk towards the bathroom door; when you can't enter, turn around to see Mita appear.
Tips
  • Looking in the oven for the hairbrush will block a specific dialogue choice later, but is fine for the first playthrough.
  • The locations of the Bowknot, Pencil, and Spoon can vary.
  • Batteries have blinking red lights indicating where they go.
