01

The Study: First Steps and the Locked Desktag

Your first objective upon entering the Study is to gain access to the main desk, which holds a key item. The room is filled with interactive points, but focus on the desk and the objects immediately around it first.

How to Get the Desk Keytag

The desk is locked, and the key is cleverly hidden in plain sight. You won't find it by simply clicking on drawers.

1. Examine the Fireplace: Turn your attention to the fireplace on the left side of the room. On the mantelpiece, there is a small, ornate box.
2. Solve the Box Puzzle: Click on the box to zoom in. It has a simple slider puzzle on its lid. The goal is to slide the pieces to free the central metal pin. The solution is straightforward and involves moving the surrounding blocks to create a clear path.
3. Collect the Desk Key: Once the puzzle is solved, the box will open. Inside, you will find the Desk Key. Take it.

Unlocking the Desk and Finding the Screwdrivertag

With the key in hand, return to the large wooden desk in the center of the room.

1. Use the Key: Select the Desk Key from your inventory and use it on the keyhole of the main desk drawer.
2. Find the First Zodiac Plaque: The drawer will open. Inside, you'll find a book and the first of four collectibles: the Leo Zodiac Plaque. Take it.
3. Inspect the Book: Open the book that was also in the drawer. Flip through the pages until you find a Screwdriver Head. Collect this essential tool piece.
4. Find the Screwdriver Handle: Now, look towards the large bookshelf. On one of the lower shelves, there is a small statue. Click on it to inspect it. At the base of the statue, you will find the Screwdriver Handle.
5. Combine the Pieces: Open your inventory and combine the Screwdriver Head with the Screwdriver Handle to create the complete Screwdriver.

02

Cracking the Safe Codetag

The most complex puzzle in the first part of the study is the wall safe, hidden behind a painting. You'll need to find a series of clues to decipher its combination.

How to Reveal the Safetag

First, you need to find the safe itself. Look for a large painting on the wall, to the right of the fireplace. Click on the bottom corner of the painting; you'll notice it's loose. Use your cursor to lift the painting, revealing the hidden safe behind it. The safe has a dial with four strange symbols.

Finding the Combination Cluestag

The combination isn't a set of numbers, but a sequence of four symbols. The clues for these symbols are scattered around the room.

1. Solve the Globe Puzzle: Locate the globe on the stand near the desk. You can spin it. Notice the small, screwed-in panel at its base. Use your Screwdriver on the four screws to remove the panel. Inside, you'll find the Aquarius Zodiac Plaque and a Wooden Handle.
2. Examine the Bookshelf: Go to the large bookshelf. On the right side, there's a section with several thick, leather-bound books. One of them looks different. Click on it to reveal it's a fake book box. Use the Wooden Handle you found in the globe on the slot on the book's spine. This will open the box, revealing the Cancer Zodiac Plaque.
3. Find the Clue Book: On the same bookshelf, there is a prominent red book with a symbol on its spine. Click on this book. It contains the master key to the safe's code. The book shows several symbols, each corresponding to a specific shape. The correct symbols for the safe are the ones marked with a small star. Note the four starred symbols and their order.

Entering the Code and Getting the Film Reeltag

Now you have everything you need to open the safe.

1. Return to the Safe: Go back to the safe hidden behind the painting.
2. Input the Symbols: Click on the dial. You need to turn the dial to match the four symbols you found in the red book, in the correct order. Press the central button after each correct symbol is aligned at the top.
3. Collect the Contents: Once the correct sequence is entered, the safe will swing open. Inside, you will find a Film Reel and a Projector Lens. Take both items.

03

Activating the Projector and the Secret Roomtag

The Film Reel and Lens are for a projector, which is your key to the next area. This puzzle requires you to find and assemble the projector before using it to reveal a crucial clue.

Assembling the Projectortag

The projector is missing, but its stand is visible. Look for a small table near the window with an empty space on it.

1. Find the Projector Body: Pan your view to the corner of the room with a grandfather clock. Tucked away beside the clock is the main Projector Body. Collect it.
2. Place the Components: Go to the projector stand. Place the Projector Body onto the stand. Then, add the Projector Lens to the front of the body. Finally, place the Film Reel onto the spindles.
3. Powering it On: The projector needs power. Follow the power cord on the floor to a wall socket. The cord is unplugged. Click on it to plug it in. Now, click the switch on the projector to turn it on.

Solving the Film Reel Puzzletag

With the projector on, a blurry image appears on the pull-down screen on the opposite wall. You need to focus it and then align the images properly.

1. Focus the Image: Click the focus knob on the projector lens until the image on the screen is sharp. It will show a grid with mismatched pieces of zodiac symbols.
2. Align the Symbols: The screen now shows a 3x3 grid of symbol fragments. This is a slide puzzle. Click on the reels on the projector itself. Each reel controls a row or column of the image. Your goal is to adjust the reels until all the symbol fragments line up to form four complete zodiac symbols. This reveals the final clue you need.
3. Note the Final Clue: Once aligned, the projector will clearly display the correct positions for the four Zodiac Plaques you've been collecting. Memorize this pattern or take a screenshot.

04

The Final Door: The Zodiac Plaque Puzzletag

You now have all four Zodiac Plaques and the pattern required to use them. This is the final puzzle of Chapter 2.

Finding the Last Plaquetag

You should have the Leo, Aquarius, and Cancer plaques. The final one is hidden in the secret room revealed by the projector.

1. Locate the Secret Bookcase: The wall where the projector screen was located is actually a secret door. After solving the projector puzzle, the bookcase will automatically slide open, revealing a small, hidden room.
2. Enter the Secret Room: Go inside. On a pedestal in the center of this small chamber, you will find the final plaque: the Scorpio Zodiac Plaque.

Placing the Plaques to Exittag

Look for a large, circular stone door at the back of the secret room. It has four empty slots.

1. Approach the Door: Click on the stone door to get a closer view.
2. Place the Plaques: Select the Zodiac Plaques from your inventory one by one and place them into the slots. You must place them in the specific positions revealed by the projector puzzle (e.g., Leo at the top, Aquarius on the left, etc.).
3. Escape: Once all four plaques are in their correct positions, the lock will disengage, and the heavy stone door will slide open, allowing you to exit the Study and complete Chapter 2.

05

A Quick Recap of Your Escapetag

To beat Chapter 2, you must follow a strict sequence of puzzle-solving. You started by getting the Desk Key from the fireplace box, which led to the Screwdriver. The Screwdriver opened the globe, giving you a handle to find a Zodiac Plaque in a fake book. Clues from a separate book helped you crack the safe code, yielding the Film Reel and Lens. Assembling and solving the projector puzzle opened a secret room containing the final plaque. Finally, placing all four plaques in the correct order on the final door was your ticket out. Each step was a necessary link in a chain leading to your escape.

06

Chapter 2 FAQtag

What is the safe combination in Crimson Manor Chapter 2? The safe combination is not a number but a sequence of four symbols. The specific symbols and their order are found in a red book on the main bookshelf. The correct symbols are marked with a small star inside the book.

Where are all the Zodiac Plaques in the Study? There are four plaques. The Leo Plaque is in the locked desk drawer. The Aquarius Plaque is inside the globe's base, accessible with the screwdriver. The Cancer Plaque is in a fake book box on the bookshelf, opened with a handle from the globe. The Scorpio Plaque is in the secret room that opens after solving the projector puzzle.

How do I turn on the projector? First, you must assemble it. Find the Projector Body next to the grandfather clock and place it on the stand. Add the Lens and Film Reel from the safe.
