More secrets after secret ending - Has anybody found a way to stab the bear plushie?

[Nemael]

Hey everyone
I got the secret ending of the game, but there is still some loose end
My biggest one is the "summoning for dummies", which mentions a ritual involving candles and a bear
I already collected all the candles, and there is 1-2 summoning circles that you can find (another thread on here talks about them)
But I have no idea how I could interact with the bear plushie in order to proceed with the ritual (where, how, etc)
I guess it leads to one more secret that is not included in the achievements

Some more stuff not said in that previously mentionned thread:
-The guide mentions a goat skull, and the green ship on the cabinet right to the TV kinda loks like a goat skull, maybe, possibly?
-The summoning circles found in game have 6 candles, and therefore the no proper pentagram with candles on each corner, maybe we have to find a more serious summoning circle?
-When using the black light, you can see shapes that are from the Major Mauri puzzle, but I haven't been able to use them in a puzzle yet, so maybe there is something to do with that?
-Is there somewhere in the game where we find a knife that would possibly be the tool to stab the bear plushie with? (maybe the sword works in that case, but someone said that using the sword on the bear during the good ending event didn't do anything special)

Anybody has an idea on how to move forward on that maybe puzzle?

I am sadly unable to help here but curious how you got to the secret ending. I am trying to figure it out for myself. Does it have to do with getting all the stickers in the booklet or is it to do with the candles?

I don't know about the sword but there is that one NPC talking about rusted things going into the well. Unsure if the sword classifies as that. Didn't try it here. There is also the butcher but I doubt he will let go of his butcher's knife. Puppet is another one.

Oh that's an interesting theory on the different kind of blades in the game

For the secret ending, what I did is obtain all the secrets in the booklet (which included candles), so I don't know if you only need candles, or all the secrets.
But as my previous post said, doing all the secret in the booklet does not cover every special items or events in the game, there is more stuff to do that seem to not lead anywhere

As for the rust thing is, I believe, a hint at throwing the frog's rusty key into the well

All I can think of is trying to make a word with the different symbols found in the game (like the moon on the window you mentioned or the symbols in the maze, talkedhere: https://steamcommunity.com/app/2545220/discussions/0/4697909843220092002/).

These symbols give letters (by reading them with the decoder then on maury's body). Then trying to put this word in the spelling toy, backward as for the "incantation".

So far I can't found of a word with the letters FCDCFE (plus the moon).

Let me add to that: there doesn't seem to be any use for the two puzzle pieces you find in the real world (one a cube, one vaguely cylinder-shaped). They just go into the toy box in the lower-left corner.

Also never found any way to use two of the cassette tapes - the one with the slow backwards speech and the violin music.

EDIT: I stand corrected, the puzzle pieces open the box in the lower drawer that gives you the correct way through the switch maze to get the sword - I just used the purple bridge to bypass that

The thing I thought this was heading toward (and if it's not somehow hidden in the game I'd be kind of surprised) was that gathering the candles would let you go to the sacrifice chamber in the maze, and then you'd pop in the Paganini tape and perform a sacrifice yourself.

I wasn't able to make it happen, though, so if it's hidden in the game somewhere, there's more to it than this.

This is one of those rare games where the Secret Ending is worse than the Good Ending in terms of what actually happens, so I'm guessing that's not where the devs wanted to take it - although in that case I really don't understand why the Summoning for Dummies book was even there, with such an obvious reference to the player character's teddy bear.
