The Stolen Sign: reveal the clue route
Reveal solution / story details
Reported remake route from Skeith Ruch and Julio La Pine, published September 17. Neither specifies a platform or build; Kingy has not play-tested these steps.
On the hand-in, Raider King says the quest clears with Fey, and Rival Mech Boss's no-commentary recording (September 28) shows the same: after the Fey scene the game cuts to the party with Kilika outside the Guild and displays "Quest Stolen Sign completed!" without a walk back. The Nerd Stash sends you back to the Guild instead, so if your log still lists the quest as pending, report there.
Accept The Stolen Sign at the Zeiss Bracer Guild.
Inspect the back of the town clock for the next clue.
On screen: Estelle and Olivier walk round the stone base of the town clock with the Investigate objective and minimap showing; the camera closes on a small card pinned to the back wall, and Estelle reacts to it.

On screen: Estelle stands at a terminal in a factory room with a white-coated researcher behind; a menu lists categories ending in Bracer Guild Sign, and selecting it opens the Entry - Bracer Guild Sign text from the Phantom Thief, ending on his line about presenting the next key.

On screen: Estelle and Scherazard run along a Zeiss street; Estelle suggests the 'three brothers in pointed hats', the camera pans up to a building with three pointed towers, and a card on its wall reads that the soul of the brave warriors lies in a quiet place.

On screen: After the basement scene fades out, the party stands with Kilika in a Zeiss street below the Guild's hanging sign, Kilika thanks them, and a 'Quest Stolen Sign completed!' banner appears on a black screen with no walk back to the Guild in between.

Neoseeker reports this remake procedure; platform/build unspecified, not yet tested by Kingy.
The guide says a room’s orange minimap circle disappears when its parts are collected. Exact reward, expiry and platform parity have not yet been tested.
When the request appears at Zeiss’s Guild, speak to Erik on the Central Factory’s ground floor for the Special Alloy Detector.
Search the 3F Workshop (three parts) and 4F Laboratory (four). Activate the detector, then examine the revealed sparkle to collect.Spoiler clip · Probe for Parts: sweeping the 3F Workshop with the detector · reveal
On the 3F Workshop floor, use the Special Alloy Detector near the machines. Where the “Examine” prompt and magnifier appear, examine the spot, then sweep the next machine.

Kingy recommends checking the imported file’s party, inventory and quest state before overwriting the original demo save.
The official site establishes the story frame and platforms, but it does not publish a remake-only chapter checklist. Use the in-game journal as the primary authority for names and triggers.
Load the full-game file and create a new manual save before taking the next airship or regional assignment.
Check the party menu, Quartz, money, key items, Recipe Book and Fishing Notebook.
Read the Guild board and quest log before following the main marker.
Record any unfamiliar chapter label or objective wording; it is better evidence than a copied classic guide.
Classic SC places this investigation in Zeiss. Use this comparison to identify the chapter an older guide covers; its item and quest instructions still need remake verification.
Route anchor
What to check
Current regional arrival
Check the location shown by your current map before using an older walkthrough.
Bracer Guild board
Accept or record optional work before major story transitions; exact BP values still need remake gameplay verification.
Town and field maps
Speak to changed NPCs after story beats and watch for journal updates rather than assuming classic timing.
Chapter departure
Review collection notes and keep a return save before the next regional lock-in.
These two quest procedures have remake sources. Other Chapter 2 quests, deadlines, BP totals, books, recipes, fish, chests and party availability still need current evidence. The older demo-only walkthrough does not establish this full-game route.
Keep a separate save before a chapter transition if optional content matters to your run.
Finish only the requests whose current objectives and rewards you can see in the release build.
Update the Recipe and Fishing Notebooks after each town or field visit.
Capture a screenshot or note for any missable warning, unusual reward or chapter transition.
Keep the pre-departure file until the next region has loaded and the checklist is complete.
[Spoilers] The official story presents the journey as a search that expands into a conspiracy affecting Liberl. Keep this section closed if you are using the page as a first-playthrough planner.
Named allies and adversaries are catalogued separately so a character reference does not accidentally become a plot reveal.
