01 A gentle nudge
The poem points to things you can count. Look around the house rather than treating every number in the text as a digit.
02 Show the specific clue
The relevant objects appear in the paintings. Read the Lamenting Poem from the chair in the upstairs bedroom and count the pictured objects it identifies.
03 Reveal the answer & full solution
THE ANSWER
736
Step-by-step solution
- Complete the South Brae disk puzzle and open CEG Locker 17 to collect the Boltcutters.
- Use the Boltcutters on the gate at the top of the stairs near the locker-building side of the estate.
- Enter 6 North Brae through the back door and collect the Lamenting Poem from the chair in the second upstairs bedroom.
- Inspect the paintings and enter 736 in the black box on the table.
- Take the North Brae barcode back to the CEG scanner. It corresponds to Locker 204, PIN 971, which contains a Mechanical Part.
Still stuck?
The house box and the CEG locker are separate locks with different codes. Take and scan the barcode from the house before trying the employee locker.
