The Lamenting Poem is the clue for the black box at 6 North Brae. It highlights three words in red: boats, arches and children. Count each one in the pictures around the house, in that order: 7 boats, 3 arches, 6 children. The code is 736.
What to count
| Word | Where to look | Count |
|---|---|---|
| Boats | The sea painting in an upstairs bedroom | 7 |
| Arches | The drawing of arches in an upstairs bedroom | 3 |
| Children | The framed photos on the downstairs living room wall | 6 |
The children are the easy one to get wrong. They're spread across several frames, so add up every child in all of them.
Where the poem is
On a chair in the second bedroom upstairs at 6 North Brae (Clara Woods Estate, Part 4, Chapter 10). The black box is on the desk in the same room. Pick up the poem first, or the box won't let you enter the code.
The front door is locked. Get in through the back door, which you reach after cutting the gate with the Boltcutters. The North Brae safe page has the full route.
What you get
Barcode (North Brae). Scan it at the CEG Employee Lockers and open locker 204 with PIN 971 for a Mechanical Part.
