Anchorhead 2018. Stuck in the Sewers. Requesting hint.

Ok, it sounds like there are 2 things you are stuck on - The Safe and The Mural

For The Safe

  1. Examine the books in the library
  2. Touch the relevant book
  3. The combination to the safe is from the Laptop. Explicit spoiler next:

Three numbers for safe are: Hands5 + Eyes, Hands5 + Eyes, Hands*5 + Eyes
So… 4 Hands + 2 Eyes would be 22
My 3 numbers were 36, 29, 58. Unsure if yours will be identical.

For The Mural

  1. If you don’t know the mapping of “alternate zodiac” symbols to dates then either look through the walls until you see Michael put paper in the nursery, or reload a saved game at the library and read “Stranger Stars” by Brian Monmouth
  2. If you do know the mapping, use the mapping, and the birth dates to push the 5 zodiac symbols in order (Croseus, Wilhelm, Heinrich, Elijah, Mordecai - I didn’t end up needing Edward). My ordering to follow in next spoiler

For me, those were, in order:
“The King In Tatters”, “The Gnawer of Graves”, “The Many-Angled Gate”, “The Spiraling Worm”, and “The Sleeper Under the Waters”. Unsure if yours can vary

I hope that helps.
