HELP with the locks in 999

[MistressDarna]

I'm following a complete guide of 9 and who first did the three bad endings, now I'm supposed to get the normal ending (room 5, room 8, roomd 6) but apparently there's a lock that I can't yet open and I don't know how to open? I have the luck bookmark thing from Santa, and apparently in room 6 the conversation was supposed to be different and it wasn't. So now I'm wondering how I do get the normal ending..

Response copied from another discussion :

"The way it works - after completing a route you'll see some keys and locks appear on the flowchart. Those can be either crossed out or not (they are also colour-coded). If you want to get a different ending (that you can't get by just picking different rooms) you simply try to "open a lock" by replaying the corresponding key-icon rooms on the flowchart. You don't even have to replay the whole room with all the puzzles - the game will allow you to jump to different "parts" of the puzzle, which is really neat e.g. if you're only missing a couple of lines of dialogue. "

I believe the first red crossed out key is in room 8 so replay room 8 (or just view the key events there), then replay door 6 (or just view the key event) and you'll unlock the new ending.

Yeah, I read the guide for 999 here and it's comments and then I figured out that I had to at least go through part of the beginning and choose room 5 because that choice is important and such. I was an idiot.

There's four story checks to get past the SAFE ending and get the GOOD ending.
