First, let’s talk about what Clue 4 actually is. It’s not a key. It’s not a hidden room. It’s a pattern—a sequence of actions you have to trigger in the right order. Think of it like a stupidly complicated dance routine for your fingers.
Here’s the kicker: most players miss it because they’re looking for objects. Stop that. Look for behavior. What moves? What flickers? What giggles at you from the shadows?
Step One: Go Back to the Clock
Remember that creepy grandfather clock in the main hall? Go stand in front of it. No, really. Don’t just glance at it—stare at it. Notice how the pendulum swings to a specific rhythm? That’s your first clue. Imitate that rhythm with your mouse clicks or controller taps.
Yes, you have to tap in time with the clock. I know, it feels absurd. But if you do it wrong, the game just stares at you like, “Nice try, idiot.” Do it right, and you’ll hear a satisfying click. That’s the game saying, “Okay, you’re not totally lost.”
Step Two: The Fireplace Is Lying to You
Now, jog over to the fireplace. But don’t light it yet! That’s a trap. Instead, examine the ashes. Use your inventory item—the little brass tongs you found in the study—to sift through the soot. You’ll uncover a faded inscription that reads like a grocery list for a witch.

The inscription lists three numbers: 7, 14, 2. Write them down. These aren’t random. They are the key to the next step.
Step Three: The Painting of the Lady
Go to the painting in the library. You know the one—the woman with the severe bob and the judgmental eyes. She’s looking at a book. Click on the book in her hands exactly seven times. Yes, count them. 1… 2… 3… I won’t judge if you use your fingers.
Did you do it? Good. Now, click on the frame of the painting fourteen times. Feel like a maniac yet? That’s normal. Finally, click on the lady’s right eye two times. She’ll give you a wink. I’m not joking; she actually winks. It’s weird, but embrace the weird.
