To solve the riddle you will have to place the slides in this order starting from the one closest to you up to the farthest one:

• The slide to be inserted in the first place is the one shown here a strange monster holding a key.
• In second place you will have to place the slide depicting an iron lever, similar to those usually found on generators.

• In the fourth position you will have to insert the slide that depicts a tangle of cables.
• In the last position instead you will have to put the slide that shows a door sealed with chains and padlocks.

In the second map of the episode, your goal will be to retrieve the newspaper that Husher was looking for. To find it easily you will have to use the microfilm which you will find inside a cabinet in the map and one of those readers that are in locked offices. But remember that even if you can use both readers, only the one in the room closest to the chained door will allow you to solve the puzzle, while the other will only serve to receive a big scare.

In order to get the newspaper you will need, it will be necessary enter a specific date in the machine. This date is found on two different documents hidden around the map, but you don't have to find them to be able to solve the puzzle. The date to be entered into the machine is: 17/03/1913. After entering the date you will need to click on the search button, then turn the knob down to select the Northern Advertiser and finally click on the print button.

The labyrinth of the great library - Song of Horror Episode 3: guide to solving the puzzles

Once you get to the third map, the large library, you will find yourself in front of it to the most dangerous enigma of the episode. In this area you will have to move between the bookshelves to reach Husher's desk, but the Presence will come between you and your goal. In fact the whole area is littered with invisible traps created by this creature and if you touch them more than three times, the character you are using will be carried away by the entity. The only way to see the safe path to move is through surveillance cameras, but even so it's not at all clear how to proceed. To help you overcome this last terrible obstacle, we will explain in as much detail as possible how to proceed.

• First you don't have to go straight to the library, but you will have to take the ladder on the left and go straight upstairs until you reach the staircase on the other side of the room. Don't worry, because there is no danger at the top.
• As soon as you go down the steps you will have to go right between the bookstores and continue past the large globe that you will find in front of you.
• Once you pass the globe, you will have to walk until you see a cleaning trolley. Here you will have to go between the trolley and the table with the chessboard, and then continue on the right being very careful to stay firmly attached to the table.
• Now you will have to advance until you find yourself in front of a wall on which it hangs a water pipe. You will just see the tube you will have to turn left and go straight on.
• At the end of the path you will find Husher's desk on your left and you just need to examine it to complete the episode. But be careful not to position yourself to the side of the desk when you examine it, because otherwise you run the risk of being taken by the creature.
