Need small hints for s.-keys and microchip

[tobias]

Hi, we want to have some small hints, no big spoilers please but we are stuck for quite some time now. Maybe just some comments on our theories would be highly appreciated.

Spoilers ahead:


Sanctum key in the vault of a bank - We assume that we need the right vault key for a deposit box but for several hours of runs we have found every item but not any more vault keys. We have opened 3 deposit boxes by now (off the top of my head 149, 233 and 3xx), all of them had passports in them but no sanctum key. Will we find the vault key just by playing more? Or is the sanctum key not inside a deposit box?

Sanctum key high up among clocks - we assume the key is hidden in the clocktower. The time 1:30 pops up everywhere and we have been several times inside the clocktower at that time, but nothing seems to change. Maybe we have to look at a specific spot but it is getting tedious waiting quite some time to get it to be 1:30 again. We have tried it with several items like the chronograph. The last theory was that we need to draft the clocktower in a certain direction (for example, going south), but that wasn't useful either.

The large microchip:
We have found the medium sized microchip (by sheer luck tbh), we have the book "a new clue" but we cannot figure out where the hint for the third chip is. We assumed that we need to draft the 4 checked rooms called "corner cases" into the 4 corners of the house, but patio is actually impossible to get in the corners (it seems). Is there any clue in the book for the third chip that we have overlooked? Please just a small hint. (We have found the second spot to insert the microchips already)

Thank you so much for any small help!

vault: there are four deposit keys. keep playing

clock The time of day only counts once, if you pass that time it wont count the second time around

the book: on one of the pages there are numbers among the text on the left side in the book.

1.) Yes, there are more Vault keys to find. Doing so is unfortunately mostly RNG, not a puzzle. You can weigh the odds in your favor by learning where Major keys can spawn and attempting to exhaust the pool of possible keys each day, and there's quite a few potential locations in rooms you might not have found or as rewards for puzzles you haven't yet solved.

2.) You have the correct idea, but your timing is off. This is not like the time-lock safe where you have a window of time to open it, the Clock Tower expects perfect punctuality. Be there early or not at all.

3.) You're correct, Patio cannot be drafted into a corner. Therefore house position can't matter. Review your notes for those rooms.

1) See what others have said.

2) To add to the comment above If you're there early, just wait around. It should be obvious when it happens.

3) Also to add to the comment above Your notes very well may not have the info - check the rooms again
