Once you have the Triocular key, take it back to the Dining Room area, where you first found the Shotgun puzzle. When you return to the Dining Room, interact with the locked puzzle and use the key to unlock the cage. After using the key, you can claim your Shotgun and use it later in several boss fights. Because of this, we highly recommend saving your Shotgun and it's precious ammo for fights such as the Mold Brute and more.
