-Go through door to left of start and open locked chest with the code RIGHT RIGHT UP LEFT DOWN UP LEFT LEFT. Grab the hourglass and crank inside. Go into the next room and enter 2257 to open the chest and grab the SCALES.
-Straight ahead from start attach the missing crank, spin the clocks to open the center where the missing clock pieces overlap. The clock changes orientation every time, but here's an easy way to solve it:
Spin the middle crank until the lower clock says VI at the bottom.
Spin the right crank until the topmost clock says XII at the top.
Spin the left crank until the left clock says 9 on the left side and the center will be revealed, press the button and open the door.
Move the gold ladder along the floor into the ruts by the drawing of the book. Move silver ladder
to below the middle of the balcony above. (it will ding both times when you find the spot). Climb Silver ladder and hit lever. Climb Gold ladder to grab the SWALLOW.
Punch in the number 6989 in the chest in this room (it's upside down so read it carefully) to claim the LION.
Approach the door with hourglasses to the right of start with a stained glass window at the top.
Insert the hourglass and turn it horizontal ==. Match the rest of the hourglasses
// \\
|| ==
with the picture in the stained glass.
Do the top right one last or you'll have to rotate it around again because SAND PLACEMENT IN THE GLASS MATTERS.
In the globe puzzle room, activate the astrolabe thing in the center of the room and select:
BLUE = AIR
RED = SUN
YELLOW = FIRE

Place the 4 tiles in the exit door in this pattern:

This is story related and cannot be missed.
This escape room unlocks once you have completed ‘The Rival Room’. In the lower-middle (6 o’clock) position of the map, click on ‘The Library’. You have 20 minutes to complete this escape room.
From your starting position, walk forward and to the right and sitting on the desk in the corner is a newspaper [10/10]. Return to your starting position and to the left of Jeb is a door. Enter the door, walk down the steps and on the table is a lockbox. The combination is: right, right, up, left, down, up, left, left. When it opens, pick up the Hourglass and Crank Handle. In the next room, interact with the chest on the table and enter the combination ‘2257’. Inside, pick up the first Strange Tile (scales). Return to the main room.
Across the room is a door with three hourglasses on it with a space for a fourth. Interact with the door and place the Hourglass you picked up in the basement. Next, we need to turn each hourglass as shown in the image below.
When the sands settle, the door will open. In the next room, interact with the sphere with the rings in the middle of the room and cycle through the images so they match the following: red ring = sun, blue ring = wind, yellow ring = fire. When the globe opens, pick up the second Strange Tile (anvil). Return to the main room.
When you enter the main room, turn right and approach the door with the clock above it. Interact with the door and place the Crank Handle in the center space. First, spin the center crank so ‘VI’ (it will be upside down) on the middle big clock is at the bottom. Next, spin the right crank so ‘XII’ on the right clock is at the top. Lastly, spin the left crank so ‘XII’ on the left clock is at the top. Press the button in the center to open the door.
In this room, you will see two ladders. Walk to the back of the room and there is an upside down chest. The combination, left to right, is ‘9896’, but remember to invert the 6 and 9 because they are upside down (the combination will look like ‘6869’). When the chest opens, pick up the third Strange Tile (lion head). Next, interact with the closest ladder (silver) and move it along the tracks until it is in place against the wall (look at the pattern before moving the ladder). Once it is in place, climb the ladder and pull the lever which will open a door for the next ladder.
Climb down the ladder and interact with the second (gold) ladder. Move it along the tracks until it is in place (again, look at the pattern before moving it) then climb the ladder. At the top, pick up the fourth and final Strange Tile (bird). Return to the main room.
Immediately exiting the ladder room, turn left and interact with the sign that says ‘Wisdom Through Effort’ (this is to the left of the newspaper). Flip all the letters in the word ‘Through’ and the wall will lower. Next, you need to place the Strange Tiles on the four plaques in a specific order: top left = anvil, top right = lion head, bottom left = bird, bottom right = scales. When the cutscene starts, the achievement will unlock.
