Cragne Manor hint thread

I feel like a complete dolt, but I’ve been banging my head against this for a day or so now: the Cragne Family Plot.

Specifically:

The door to the crypt.
When I examine it, it says there’s something odd about the shape of the skull. But if I examine the skeleton or the skull, all I get is “you can’t see any such thing”.

This is driving me insane :stuck_out_tongue: Am I missing something? Am I having a grammer/parsing issue and not typing the right command?

Hi Trachalio–that sort of thing usually isn’t a problem on your part! It means that the author didn’t implement the word you’re using as a separate thing (or as another way of referring to something else).

In this case you’ll need to find the key to the door somewhere else.

The description of the door is something of a hint as to which key will work, when you find it.

OMG THANK YOU :smiley:

Yes I have been inside, the coffee said no hahaha.

okay church I tried this but don’t seem to have the Key

So either I didn’t pick it up yet, or there’s something i’m missing.
which is probably why im stuck.

The first part of your answer solves the second part.

inside the crypt is a long wooden key that opens the church.

crypt or mauseleum?

The one with the mirrors gave me a… book I think… if I remember rightly.

the one that kept punching me… hahahah.

AHAH!

right I think i’ve figured it out. cheers!

After a long work week, I’m back to playing and need some help. Specifically down the hatch:

I’ve gotten the allen key and opened the second hatch; I’ve turned on the lights and gotten my stuff from the other room in the tunnel; I’ve put the first and second candle in the bottom left and right sockets, and things have lit up, including Ceecee. But the coffee cup says there are still things to do and I can’t figure out what they are! I don’t know if I’m supposed to turn on the fuses somehow?

Regarding fuses:

They’re there as a clue for the candles. If you’ve already lit the candles up you’re done with them.

Regarding proceeding further:

Have you tried pushing the bricks? And if so, have your tried escalating to doing something else to the bricks?

If that doesn’t get you there:

You picked something up in the fuse cupboard which will help with the bricks, especially given the writing you’ve revealed.

I got it! Thank you.

smugglers cave I feel like i’ve tried every combination of that date but nothing happens. I gotta be missing something.

also, church, coffee says I can do something but I don’t seem to have a key for the door and I need money lol. Hmmm.

I put in the wrong format first. If I recall the format is:

dmyy, but it could be mdyy. It’s definitely four digits with no excess zeros.

You probably do!

I think it’s the only time in the whole game that the same key is used for two different doors…

You can actually get this fairly early on. Have you 100% completed the first room of the game?

no the only thing i’ve not go on the platform is the egg machine Am I to assume I have to do that?

And okay, time to go through all my keys again aahahah.

Man… so many keys.

AHA! It’s Month first, american format.

That’s right. I left the first room for ages thinking I needed something else for it, but…

it’s actually self-contained. Just spend a bit more time looking at things, and remember what you picked up from there earlier

AHAH! so i’ve got the eyepiece but fail to see how it helps me.

but bless that dang doll for pointing out something I hadn’t noticed the puddle hahah

also yay for previous puzzles teaching me I could climb things. Dunno the solution to that puzzle but i’ll be back for that one.

The item you just got is useful in a room that you must have visited by now.

did you ever find a journal that mentioned a ‘prosthetic’? The prosthetic in question is the eyepiece.

I can’t remember a journal mentioning that…

i’ve read so many journals though.

Ermmm…

You now have everything you need to deal with

the room in the woods with the well

hmm… “that’s not something you can unlock”

verb issue? or am I not supposed to try to unlock this thing?
