| Go to the upper corridor, and find the two doors beyond the scale: one on the left, and one at the end. Go into the left room. The essential item in this room is a manuscript on the other side of the room. It depicts some star-chart figures. |  |
Return to the Castle, and get a scolding from Greta, the Housekeeper, for allowing the Cook to be drunk and sleep the afternoon away. He is in one of the Guest Bedrooms on the Fourth floor, snoozing. If you seem to be stuck at this point, it's because you did not complete some of the conversations. Most likely is the question posed to Stephen about Greta. Since he is asleep, you cannot talk with him, but if you go find him in the bedroom, then return to the kitchen, he will have gotten up and you can ask the question, triggering the scene with Greta as you leave the kitchen.
Go to the Dining Room and use the Bag of Blood on the Rose. Then, with the service lift, go to Floor 3 and visit the Supervisor's Apartment. See that greenish painting? Take it down to discover a Keypad. Remember the combination from the invoice found in the filing cabinet? Open the safe with the combination 1, 2, 4, 8, 0. We're not out to steal anything, but that Old Coin will be useful. If you like, cover your tracks by closing the safe and using the painting on the safe.
If you have been a good investigator, you might have already explored the Fireplace Bedroom on the Fourth floor, and found the two envelopes in the desk drawer. If not, go get them now. Then go to the Old Wing and upstairs to the Scale.
Put the coin in the left pan. Use some Incense on the right pan, then use an envelope on the right pan. This gives you an object that weighs the same as one coin. Use some incense on the right pan, and use the same envelope on it, giving you an object that weighs the same as two coins. Repeat the whole process with the other envelope. Take the Coin from the Left pan.
Are you Darrel? Send Victoria into the Crypt. (Vice-Versa works also. Just keep one character in the Old Wing and the other in the Crypt.) Go to the altar with the two statues. Use your inventory to retrieve the coin and the envelopes from Darrel.
Remember the Picture? Use an envelope on the left hand, and the coin and the other envelope on the right hand. The altar opens and you can take the Metal Plate. Switch to Darrel, and retrieve the Metal Plate from Victoria. Go to the two-faced clock and set to open the Arcanum. The times are 9:55 and 7:10. On the altar, move the candlesticks. If you examine the metal plate, it turns out to be two plates. help together by magnetism. Use each plate on the slabs revealed under the candlesticks. The glowing sphere rises a little, and you can take it. Exit the Arcanum and go back upstairs.

Go into the other room, the one at the end of the corridor. Go around the back of the big clock in the center of the room, and open the compartment. Place the Sphere, the Crystal, and the Necklace in the holes. Touch the Angel on top to see a holographic projection. Take careful note of the Chest, with its hourglass knobs turned to the unlocking position. Take the crystal from the clock. |
Switch to Victoria, and retrieve the Crystal from Darrel. Climb up into the tower. Go to the chest, and place the Crystal in the slot. Set the hourglass knobs to match the picture above: upper right, left, lower right, lower left, upper left, and the chest opens. Take the New Metal Disk and use it in the Trap Door. Go back down stairs so you can switch characters, and switch to Darrel. Go to the Supervisor's Office.
| When you enter the Supervisor's Office, he comes out of the darkroom and gives you the two photos he has developed from the ancient plates. Look at them in your inventory. Use the Photo Plan on the Scanner. Right-click on the computer. Choose Preview, then choose Select Area. Slide the rectangular selection tool so the view shown here is outlined. Choose Scan. Exit the computer. Darrel takes the enlarged scan. |  |
Go to the Caretaker's house. If you've been exploring and experimenting on your own, you might have tried to show him the bronze ring before. If you then show him the Photo Plan before enlarging, it was not big enough. That's how you might think to scan it. You also must have given the Caretaker his glasses by now, or he cannot help. Use the Bronze Ring (get it from Victoria) and the Enlargement on the Caretaker. He makes a new Cog for you.
