Level 6 — Upper Levels

Video Walkthrough

Objective

Clear the Upper Levels chapter by unlocking the Roman numeral chart, rounding up bust heads, books, and a cutter, then mixing glue from the color lock. Mend the chipped head, use Bill Laufer’s ID to sort the four named busts, return every tome to the bookcase, and finish by mapping 968 through the chart into the correct shelf pattern so the secret exit reveals itself.

Step-by-Step Solution

1. Portrait gallery grid. Enter the room with the wall portrait and complete the tile-matching minigame; the reward is a crib sheet that maps Arabic digits to Roman numerals—keep it handy for the finale bookcase puzzle.
2. Core pickups. Sweep the floor for the loose bust fragment, at least one volume you can shelve later, and the handheld glass cutter before you leave the early wing.
3. Office vitrine. Slice the display seal with the cutter and take the second locked-away book. Expect alarms only if your build adds them; otherwise the case opens cleanly for narrative use.
4. Chromatic lock. Replay the four-step color order the summary lists—yellow, red, blue, green—and claim the adhesive plus another door key once every pulse lands in sequence.
5. Sculpture repair. Bond the cracked bust crown with the glue so the piece reads “complete” in inventory; partial statues usually fail the lineup puzzle that follows.
6. Identity paperwork. Read the “Bill Laufer” badge or file on the desk alongside other staff photos; those labels tell you which sculpted face belongs to Bill versus Andrew, Walter, or Henry.
7. Pedestal lineup. Mount all four recovered heads on the presentation stand in the order your clues imply—names must align with the developer’s intended left-to-right or front-to-back reading before the mechanism accepts the set.
8. Library finish. Place each collected book on the office shelving, then translate **968** using your chart to **CMLXVIII** and mirror that Roman ordering on the spine sequence the level demands. When every slot matches, the concealed door unlatches and the stage ends.
