After completing the first mission of the campaign, you will enter the hideout and be free to explore. The puzzles here are quite linear, but the first two steps can be completed right away.

You must complete the piano puzzle to open the first door leading to the basement, and the generator puzzle to open the second one. This can be done first, but the piano is right next to the first door, so it’s a bit more convenient to tackle the generator first.

Finding the generator can be a bit tricky since it’s in a different basement and the door isn’t very obvious. If you’re facing the room where Woods is, look to the right. There will be a hallway on the ground floor and a door immediately to the right as you enter it. Go through this door and go down to the basement to find a generator.

There is a note on the table with vague instructions on how to start the generator. He explains that before lighting the pilot, you must partially fuel it and then fill the boiler with water to get it working.

In the context of gameplay, this means turn the boiler valve twice to empty the water and fuel valve once to reduce the fuel gauge by half. Then, press the remote control button. You will hear sounds confirming that it worked, so now turn the boiler valve twice to fill the water. This will start the generator and complete this part of the puzzle.

After starting the generator, go to the room with the piano, just outside the main room. Here you will find a black delicate that will be needed for future puzzles. We have a dedicated piano puzzle guide, but you basically have to look around the room using black delicate to find out what to do.

The black delicate will highlight several Cyrillic letters throughout the room, alongside numbers and arrows. The numbers tell you the order of the letters, and the arrows show where the next letter is in the room. When you interact with the piano, you will see Cyrillic letters above the keys when you shine a black delicate on them.

To open the basement door, press the five keys in the order indicated by the letters. These are:

Go down to the basement through the door that opens next to the piano. The door at the bottom will be unlocked if you complete the generator puzzle. Go through it and you will encounter three corridors: left, right and straight ahead. You can only go further to the right, where you will find a keyboard.

It’s less of a puzzle and more of trial and error. To find the code, you need to play the numerical version of Wordle; but first you need a black delicate.

Shine a black delicate on the keyboard to see some fingerprints. We are looking five-digit codeso look for buttons with the most observable and brightly lit fingerprints. The code is different for everyone, so we can’t just say what it is. Additionally, numbers may be repeated, so if you discover that only four numbers show fingerprints, the one that is the brightest will likely be a double.

Enter five numbers and the answer will appear on the right. All red numbers are incorrect, yellow numbers are correct but in the wrong place, and green numbers mean the number is correct and in the right place. You can operate this to narrow down the possibilities and find the right code to open the door.

Inside this room you will find a lot of very aged computers. Go left and you will see a terminal you can interact with. A table of numbers will be displayed, with the codeword at the top and the cipher at the bottom. Each number represents a letter, so it’s your job to do so read the cipher to find the code word.

In straightforward terms, you need to look at a series of numbers at the top of the screen, find the matching letter for each number at the bottom of the screen, and then enter the code. The four words you get here seem to be the same for everyone, but not necessarily in the same order, and the cipher also seems to change.

If you follow the code shown on the screen, you shouldn’t have any problems with completing this puzzle. Once you enter the codes, the doors in the middle hall will unlock.

Inside, you’ll need to complete a straightforward lock-picking mini-game to open the next room. You just have to move the lockpick until it lights upand then hold it to open the door. Go inside and take the key to the last room in the basement.

The key opens the door in the left corridor where you first entered. If you go down there, you’ll notice an icon that says there’s a signal coming from the room. Follow this signal to find the radio, just to the left of the TV. Interact with him to start this part of the puzzle.

You will show an oscilloscope machine with two waveforms shown on the screen. You can control the amplitude and frequency of one of these waveforms, and you need to match it to the other. First, boost the amplitude until the top and bottom of the waveforms are equal. Then adjust the frequency to match the width. Once you do this, the radio will start playing the message repeatedly.

What this message says is different for everyoneso unfortunately this is another case where we simply cannot provide an answer. However, we can explain exactly how it works. If you turn on the black delicate and look around the room, you will see numbers appear on or near several objects in the room. The message mentions four of these items, which gives you a four-digit code to open the safe and sound.

For example, here is the message we received: “He plopped down on the couch and his wife’s purse was still missing. Right under the commemorative flag he noticed a calendar with his brother’s birthday.” The keywords in this statement are sofa, handbag, calendar and flag. By checking these items in the room we received our code, 3196.

To solve this problem yourself, listen carefully to the message. The message repeats over and over again while you’re in the room, so you don’t have to worry about remembering it. Look around and pay attention to all items that have a number on or next to them. See which ones match your message, then remember the numbers in the correct order or write them down.

Here are all the numbers in the room we found, along with their corresponding objects. Please note that we cannot confirm every radio recording, so what we call it and what the radio broadcast calls it may vary.
