I'm stuck on the emerald since 3 weeks as well. The Neptun I did quite quickly - a couple of days max I think - but was only able to lure the Idol into the bedroom once, and even with the turtle running and doing the fortune telling room prior - nothing. At first it was just one of many quests, but as I whittled down the others, I'm down to 3 now.
The quests seem to have several "timelines" though, I was stuck for a long time on another quest, so I now have the "annoying Monkey" quest and another one where I have to "banish the mist in the library to calm Joanna" that keep me going, and chasing phenomena 'round the Manor.
The "night mode" trick does not work for me, as even if I have the desired rooms not on night, rather than go there, I don't get any at all. So I follow admins way and just try to find the "next trigger" rooms.
