Could someone give me a hint for the book [spoiler] A New Clue [/spoiler]?

[OrangeClown]

I'm very stuck rn lol.

This is what I have so far:

I have the red/green/violet/blue clue and I've found all of the signs throughout the book. I'm unable to map A/B/C etc to numbers though. And is the list of rooms in the "departure" page important? It feels like it should be, but I can't think of what it could refer to.

Also the lor/jor guide - not sure where to apply it? I found out where the gate/gaites goes.

Update: I've figured it out, so here's your hint :) Removed my old comment with incoherent ramblings lol. The first hint is pretty general, the second one is a little more focused if you're still stuck, but I still tried to avoid spoilers as best as possible.

There is something else needed to decode the X -> Y -> Z -> A -> B -> C code.

It's related to the sign puzzle. But, this puzzle requires something outside of the book itself to solve. There's actually a hint for what that is on the page containing the "X -> Y -> Z etc" writing in A New Clue... there sure are a lot of documents on that table!

To your other question about the departure page, The rooms listed on the departure page are important, but a separate puzzle from the XYZ/signs puzzles. Try looking through the whole book with a magnifying glass again :)

This book had so much going on haha. Good luck!

Those two hints I figured out too. However I can't decipher the chalk board and the suspect list and the "ma/jor" hint.

This book is really wild...

At least one of the chalkboard clues is a hint for one of the red envelope safe codes And another seems to be for the picture puzzles . I have no clue about the "rearranging the book title" though.

For ma/jor it miiiiight be a clue that it's Erajan? Ma = small and jor = name, so "small name"? No clue where to go from there though.

Haven't had a chance to look at the signs again, as I've been prioritizing other books when I get the library...

And I got at least some of the stuff on the departure page - the corner cases at least :)

[OrangeClown]

...I think I just got the sign puzzle. the train stops??? Will have to look into that...

[OrangeClown]

I think I got the chalkboard clue too! rearranging the titles in the book should create a title in the library. i.e. UNCLE AWE = A NEW CLUE

Ohh that's what it was! makes so much sense lol. I just assumed the colors were for the library book covers! and yes the sign was referring to the subway map so that you can decipher the a b c x y z

I think the ma/jor has to do with the suspect list and the memos, but maybe there're other hints in the house

Can any of you give me the words for each book? the one you find with the page count and so on... i figured how to get them, i just don't want ot bother with days and RNG I Don't want to bother getting them all again and having to wait daaaaaaaaays to do so..

Also what about the signs? What train? Can a train stop in the train station in the safe house somehow? How? a hint would be enough for this one

What's a safe house? I am myself pretty far with the clues but I have a feeling that I am missing something crutial which usually unlocks earlier - this safe house for example.

this has to do with the pump room, you need to power it to solve that but i don't think it has relations to the clues in the book... But who knows...

Now i guess you don't have the words for my queston? Or what to do with the signs?

I figured out everything (I think) in this book last night. There are clues related to at least 4 different puzzles (safe codes, where to find microchips, suspect, and signs) and some of them opens up to late game… yes after solving them I believe we are still in the mid game, and it’s true when ppl joke about the room 46 is only end of tutorial.

The signs are actually just a first step to decipher the words from the books. It’s to solve something else in the pictures: X -> Y -> Z -> A -> B -> C
Hint: connects all signs in each picture gives a direction
Hint 2: there’s a train route map next to the train station
After this you will know each number for each letter. Answer: 8 -> 7 -> 3 -> 10 -> 1 -> 13

As for the books words, final answer if you really wanna know:

turn scorched sundial base

Oooooh, i figured it out with your first hint... i should have remembered "tanner fork" from the subway map, didn't think to recheck....
Anyway, somehow i completely misinterpreted what the book wanted me to do... i thought XYZABC was just to tell you how to find the word by itself, like Page B = page 5 cause it's the fifth letter in the line, and it fits with the page in the exemple, and word Y being the 25th word cause it's the 25th letter in the alphabet... and it also worked with the exemple since the 25th word is "the" and it's squared in red in the exemple... But i realise it wouldn't make sense, he would have just square "THE" and not "THE WAY" if that was the case!
But thanks to your first hint i figured the direction and found the word sundial!

Thankfully, i was right when i checked all the words you put at the end, saving me time from having to refind the library and order all the books!

Thanks again!

I found the 8-7-3 etc, but when I Look at Page 7 Word 1 it says „so“. Where did you find sundial?

The book's combination of page/word number are provided on one of the pages of "A new clue"

I've found out what is the meaning of ma/jor if you are interested.

[InolienKiki]

I'm interested.
