CRADLE UNDER THE STARS
We've learned something from out previous endeavors. Scissorman can pop-up like a jack in a box form anywhere, the garage is no-good for hiding, and we can't really escape from Clock Tower, not unless we learn more and try to maybe do something about it.
And maybe we will.
Let's head over to the 2nd floor of the west wing, there's a crack on the floor and an obvious solution.
Further on we come across some statues and a patched wall. I think this is of use if you find the scepter (as mentioned in the previous chapter) but in this playthrough there's no scepter.
Instead, if we check on the statue, we'll find the...
AHA!
It's the DEMON IDOL !
Indeed, that note in the library mentioned an idol and a statue.
It's cold... A cross protrudes from the bottom.
There's another room to the far right, seems like another storage area.
:cracking sound:
...!! Did that crate... move ?!
:codexrage:
Tough is the road to survival, but we manage to reach our happy place and evade the scissor-wielding madman.
So, let's go back to that room. The scissorman isn't here any more.
Huh, The wall behind those stacked crates looks funny...
There are cracks here. It's deteriorating.
Is that so ? When you see a stick lying around you know it's bound to be of some use...
There's a hidden room indeed !
The air in this room is stagnant
Let's examine that note on the floor...
It looks like a medical chart of some sort. The name of the master of the house is listed...
Yep, Mary Barrows. Now we know that Ms. Mary is not only one of the family, but also the true owner of the house and probably Simon Barrow's wife.
On the wall we can see counting marks. Obviously from that poor soul in the corner.
And there's another chart on the floor, it speaks of the patients...
Now we're getting somewhere. What about this medical bag ?
Walter... Simpson !?.
Jennifer's father ? Is that the decayed corpse of Jennifer's father ?
It looks like a memo. Father...
So was it coincidence that brought Jennifer to this house ? Was it a twist of fate, a call from her father's spirit, or did Ms. Mary specifically tracked her down ? Maybe we'll find out eventually.
And this "Cradle under the Star" phrase came up again...
Let's get back to the library now. Since we've got the Lantern maybe we can have a look in that dark crevice :
A copper key. There are some more loose ends to tie up. Remember that first room with the crack on the wall ? Apparently we can use the rock and break a hole on the wall.
And now we're on the courtyard. There isn't much of importance here at this moment.
And you see this ? It's the shack where we can get imprisoned by Ms. Mary, but there's no one here now.
So let's just move that crate blocking the door, so we can use a shortcut through the courtyard if we ever need to.
***
Now, how about paying a visit to the phone room ?
Glad to see you safe, Jennifer. Is there something wrong ?
You're damn right there's something wrong. We won't fall for your tricks this time, old hag.
Stay back !
Whoops. Is that a kitchen knife, or are you happy to see us ?
Let's split.
Fortunately, Ms Mary doesn't have the stamina of the scissorman to hunt us down. Not to mention that Jennifer has become a master in this hide and seek business.
If we go back to that room, we'll find it empty. In an alternate reality you may find the black robe here instead of the storage room. But for now, let's examine the glas on the table.
It seems to have been recently used. Some of the drink is still in here. Hm... ?
Nice, we've got all sorts of keys, now.
:DRIIIIIN!:
Damn, that phone started ringing again. Hey, maybe now we can call for help-
...!
Bah, typical evil mansion phone. Nothing more to do here, but this silver key opens the locked door on the first floor.
Hmm, there's a strange mural on the wall. Looks like some sort of ritual.
There are stuff we could with this mural if we had the scepter, but right now the only thing of importance is that desk.
There's a note here...
... another clue, maybe.
There's one final room we haven't yet visited and guess what, it's important. I guess it's time to go there...
It looks like the one from the mural...
Yeah it does, doesn't it ? Complete with a pentagram and all... Let's have a closer look at the symbol.
what does that remind us of...?
The cradle under the star... There must be something underneath here !
Good girl. On the altar we can see...
The neck's completely severed...
and a book...
Time... will... cause adherence... ?
This again ? I wonder what it means. Finally we come across an iron bowl
A cross, huh ? Don't we have an item with a cross-shaped bottom ?
Yep, let's use it.
:CLICK:
...What was that sound ?
A hatch just opened on the floor !
...Next time we'll descend into the heart of Madness....
