[END GAME SPOILERS] Can I get a hint? I have notes about things I haven't used yet

[Icegoten]

I don't think I'm done with the game because I'm expecting the ending to be a very long cut scene or credit sequence. I'm going to list out the last things I've done and I still have notes about that I haven't used yet. These are what I believe are really far into the end game where I'm thinking 80% but for all I know could just be 50% of the way. I'm nearly 120 hours in if that helps gauge it for anyone. I've long made it to room 46, found 7 red envelopes, solved the 8 realms in 8 days, solved the gallery and room 8 and filled out the mount holly directory.

I permanently unlocked all blue seal doors. This makes me think there are multiple since it uses the word all but I've only seen one in the unknown underground. I first opened the black box because I didn't believe the game was over. I thought maybe I could find my mommy. I noticed the box had the same thing as in her ladyship's chamber so I spent a few days trying to open the box and head back there but nothing. I even drafted her ladyships chamber outside but I didn't notice anything there.

I also went back and opened the blue box stating the journey was over and found the blue book. Did some more runs to get the magnifying glass to find out that the true box doesn't always contain the prize. I even opened the white box and nothing.

So I found a note that stated "The Family Core is kept in The Family Vault" which I'm unsure if this is something new or was supposed to tell me about the Aries Key.

I still never figured out the archival admin password to get into blackbridge to read the deleted logs. I remember in the safehouse there was a note that said DELETE IT! and it had an A on the screen which I think matched up with the vault security cam but I can just go check which room it is again.

I found some papers describing Numeric Cores and have no idea where to make use of this. I did have a sheet from much earlier in the game that has numbers which I then did with my new found knowledge of numeric cores to get one I believe but I don't know what to do with that.

I also remember something that stated there was a safe on rank 10 and I always thought that was something for the 8 realms in 8 months puzzle OR if I found a bust to place in the spot for marigold.

Oh and one last suspicion I have is all of the statues that are hands have pointed to something useful in their room...kinda. The foyer just pointed to the door. However, there is one that points to the ground in the bedroom. I tried a jackhammer and powered up sledgehammer and looked down all around it thinking I could find something there but nothing.

Oh actually another last thing I just remembered. One of the Alzara videos talked about a man coming out of the nursery and sometimes he can leave the gate open. If that's an actual puzzle I'm not sure how to trigger it because I've gone outside before the end of every play through to check if that gate was open but it wasn't. On that note there was also a part in one of his videos where he talked about items missing/being taken and I did notice the picture of Mary in the Office was gone. That's probably what set my mind to thinking there is more to this game and finding out more about my mommy.

Had to edit this in but there is also the Paper Crown in the Closed Exhibit. I thought I was supposed to be able to get that somehow maybe by mimicking their heist but not sure how I would do that. Maybe put the closed exhibit outside and the guards won't be there?


So I feel like I get on and for once I have nothing to solve because I don't know how to find anything. Can someone who may be further than me give me a hint to nudge me into what to look for next? Like should I just burn through days and keep reading the staff announcements because the last hint I got was for stuff I did so much earlier in the game it wasn't relevant to me.

Here's a riddle-y hint for you: 'The Monk knows of a secret passage'.

As for the cores: you've found a description for how the puzzle works; now you just have to find the puzzle. Obviously you'll need numbers; where might there be numbers you've overlooked?

Dude thank you so much for the way you worded your hints. They were just what I needed to jog my memory because I have had these thoughts before but it was so early I didn't think about them in this way because I forgot. Going over my notes/screenshots again with a different mindset helped.

No problem. Feel free to ask again if you need hints again.
