(spoilers) a bit stuck on EOTE

[Solar]

Don't tell me exactly what to do, but give me a small hint as to what the next step might be or how to find the next step out!
I'm a bit stuck on eote dlc, been playing it for quite some time now. Im at the part where ive learned how to (If your still reading and havent beaten it MEGA SPOILERS DONT CONTINUE!!) you learn that you can jump off the raft mid-tunnel, you learn about the extra secret fire behind the dam in submerged structure, you learn dying by the campfire lets you avoid the alarms, you unlock the symbol room, you find a lot lot of the slide reels and play em, I can unlock 2 of the vault seals but not the third because it needs an unknown code, etc (sorry for listing alot just wanted to let everyone know exactly where my progression is) Im not sure exactly where to go now, last loop i tried going into the first sleeping tower, forming the bridge and blowing out the door, then jumping off a raft mid-cave and pushing the raft down there by the vault to the other side. i jump in the water and go to 2nd tower, in 2nd tower i just go quickly blow out the 1 door and create the giant house next to the tower. i jump in the water. go to the submerged structure, kill myself by it just in case of alarms, take the lift down to the bottom, ride the raft across, go to one of the slide archive areas, go up its lift (end up behind the fireplace) wait for those owl people to die, walk all the way back to that area's tower and then get on a raft, ride it to the area of the 2nd tower, get off there, and then i just walked around that area, the owls there also died but then i realized i didnt really know what to do there or where to go, or even how to go up to where those owls used to be, honestly really confused now as to where to go. please just hint what i should do and not directly state it!

You can see a screenshot of exactly how much of the research tree i unlocked so far for eote

You appear to still have things to explore in the ring world rather than the dream world. You may want to check over things there more thoroughly.

You seem to have accessed 2 out of 3 vaults to learn the raft and death tricks.
Thete is another trick to learn in the last vault.
There are clues to how to access each vault outside of the dreamworld.
Not sure if you found those clues or if you found the vaults by yourself or even if you didn't find the vault at all and found the tricks by yourself for 2 of the 3 paths.

They don't appear to have even visited the 3rd location in the ring world at all.

don't know how to get there at all, that path is completely inaccessible through the destroyed bridge and even max jetpack boost and everything is too little

But ill explore that area even more if there's something special about it, thanks!

SPOILERS I ended up figuring out how to get to the third tower, after going to it and trying to hop on the tree near the broken bridge (for some reason i thought the flame building was a sleeping area thingy) i eventually gave up, but then rode my raft downstream behind where the dam is, looked behind me, and noticed there's 2 holes that connect the river and cliff area to the area behind the dam, when i thought there was only one. Realized there mustve been another passageway, and nonetheless it was behind where the flame building would be (which i noticed had a cave passageway leading to it) so since i wasted alot of time i died and came back and rode my raft down to the area of the 2nd tower, then took a hard turn all the way to the right side of the Stranger, something id never done before as i usually only ever took the middle or left path if i was trying to get further downriver, and found an entire huge area I'd never even explored before. went up, explored a few buildings but then noticed the dream tower. Instantly rushed to it with artifact in-hand, slept, and explored the dream world there for a bit. As end times was playing i shined my light on that suspicious owlk shadow in front of the projection screen, heard it make a noise and the shadow vanished, and that terrified me (not knowing where it was) until the loop ended. Went back there next loop, explored everything, played some tapes in the theater area, learned how to unlock the one tape by using the little scout, so in the end i had watched 4 tapes with lots of info on them, then went back to the cave area leading to the flame symbol building, actually learned fairly quick to use my Little Scout to navigate through the ghost matter, got there, explored, put in the code that i had taken a screenshot of earlier (huge WAIT OH MY GOD THATS THE CODE FROM THE SYMBOL ROOM realization moment) went down into the place, found the lanterns and projections, then the dam broke so i got the fricking heck out of there barely in time. and that leads up exactly to where i am right now, with my game paused checking my discussions for any other responses

dang, just followed the one projection past the little water gate and found a bunch of burned reels like in the one slide that showed them being burned... WHATTTT im writing this as i play i just found the slide reel by the lantern painting and the door shut on me... im totally playing this slide normally before i try putting it on that machine thingy though in case the machine does some sort of irreversible damage. Just watched the slide, i dont know it it was supposed to be what showed me about the secret behind the fire, but i already learned that, so time to use the machine... wait just realized now that i popped the slide on it idk how to turn this thing on lol i kinda just assumed it would turn on when i placed it. not sure what to do so i guess ill look at some other areas now

[Solar]

going to the location of the next projected area, i see a big lake here so im gonna check that out. Ayo there is a legit hidden cabin back here- and another slide machine thingy and slide painting it seems. Well it seems the slide shows me a secret hand grabbing thing on the raft path, so i gotta check that out... LOL i died trying to get to the artifact workshop place rip- Alright im here i just found this left by that hand, time to go down nvm its up lol DEAR FRICKING GOD WHAT HAPPENED I BLEW ON THE THINGY AND I HEAR NOISES I PAUSED MY GAME IMMA CONTINUE wait FRICK IM SO DOOMED THEY WENT DOWN THEY ARE MOVING... i accidentally tp'ed myself to a hand down on the lower area IM FRICKING DOOMED OHHHH GODDDD i dont know where any of the owlks are i dont think ill be alive for much longer though and my physical body is dead HELP I TOOK AN ELEVATOR DOWN TO THE VERY BOTTOM ON THE AREA AROUND THE LAKE AND THE LIFT I TOOK DOWN JUST STARTED GOING UP IM DOOMED .
