@zarfeblong also the “chapter 2” bit is absolutely worth looking at (I’m guessing from your post you haven’t seen it, is not about finding (spoiler))
Might be worth finding a video

@JoshGrams Ah, good to know.
(Or maybe not -- it was fun not knowing -- but I don't blame the answer for existing. :)
