- Examine the former librarian, and take the red lens from his pocket.
- Go upstairs through the open door.
- Examine the (dead?) student that is sitting near the door. Lift each of the skeleton fingers to find a symbol underneath.
- Go back downstairs, and press the buttons that are in the statues in the same order as symbols were, starting from the index finger going towards the pinky. (There is an audio cue to the puzzle, but it's a fake clue, the order is do-mi-sol-do regardless of the order in which the buttons are pushed.)

- There are strange hotspots labelled as "?" on the wall, the red lens is flashing in the inventory. The goal here is to have the correct symbols in the right order. Each one of the is presenting one floor in the library, and you can find floors numbered with Roman numbers. Go through each floor, and use the red lens on the burning candles. A symbol will lit up on the wall. Take notes on which symbol is seen on which floor, and then enter them in the same order here.
- If you can't figure it out, check the correct order from the picture:
The correct order.
- A ladder will fall down. Climb up the ladder.
- When you reach the top, walk right. Try to walk past the giant bird.
- After the bird screams, walk back right to find that the scream has shattered a glass door. Enter the corridor.
- There is a small bird labelled as "?" stuck in the wall. Examine it to find out it's a trapped baby crow. Pick it up (it won't appear in the inventory).
