1. Finish Alexandra's Final Sequence
Alexandra won't progress?
Where did she stop?
2. Set the Bronze, Silver and Gold Clocks
The Departure reuses the same three clock settings from the Day 2 Catacombs. You do not need to solve a new set of times.
Bronze
Silver
Gold
Same solution as Inspecting the Cellar.
← Review the Catacombs clock puzzle3. Remove All Four Screws
0 / 4
Removing all four screws only advances the lock to its next mechanical stage. The pipe, holes and latch still need to be completed.
4. Move the Pipe and Reveal the Holes
Start
Right hole appears
Middle hole appears
Left hole appears
Holes aren't appearing?
Move the pipe farther along its track. The Right interaction becomes available first, then Middle, then Left.
Advanced mechanical thresholds

Right Hole
Middle Hole
Left Hole
5. Use the Fork or Hairpin
Each of the three hole positions accepts the Fork or Hairpin interaction. There is no reason to treat one screenshot route as the only valid tool assignment.
Both tools are accepted by the interaction points; follow the available route in your current state.
Right
Fork / Hairpin
Middle
Fork / Hairpin
Left
Fork / Hairpin
6. Finish the Latch
After the earlier lock stages are complete, drag the latch almost fully to the end of its track.
Move it essentially all the way to the end of the track. A partial movement is not enough to trigger the next lock state.

Something remains after Day 3.
Reveal secret routeBack to Day 3 WalkthroughThe Departure FAQ
01Are the Departure clocks new?
No. The three clocks reuse the same settings from the Day 2 Catacombs.
02How many screws are there?
Four: Top Left, Top Right, Bottom Right and Bottom Left.
03Why did nothing happen after removing all four screws?
Removing the screws only advances the lock to the next mechanical stage. Continue with the pipe, holes and latch.
04Why aren't the holes appearing?
Move the pipe farther. Right appears first, then Middle, then Left.
05Do I need a specific Fork / Hairpin order?
The available hole interactions accept Fork or Hairpin routes; this guide does not present one arbitrary tool assignment as the only valid arrangement.
06Why won't the latch finish?
Drag it almost fully to the end of its track. Partial movement may not trigger completion.
07Why won't the story finish even though the lock is open?
The Departure also depends on Alexandra, Baby, Maid and clock progression. The mechanical lock is only one branch.
08Is there a Notebook entry during The Departure?
Yes. There is a final Notebook entry associated with the last task.
