Opening the lock
There are two puzzles in the first location in Lake Ridden. The first one is simple, but requires you to focus. You must find the code to the lock on the path further into the forest. The lock was placed by a man that lived in the abandoned house. His brother had gone missing in this forest many years ago and the man returned here to discovered the truth about what happened to his sibling.
In order to open the lock you must obtain 2 documents that can be found in the abandoned house - a list of safe numbers and a note from the desk. In order to open the safe you must turn it twice to the left, three times to the right and once to the left. This will enable you to obtain a list with many numbers.
In the notebook, you will find information about how the brother of the man had gone missing. While looking for his brother, the man described some days. In one of the notes he mentions that it has been 50 years since the tragic event. This entry is dated 1985. You must reduce this date by 50 years. You will find year 1935 on the paper with dates. The code to open the lock is precisely above it. In the screen, it is marked with red color. The code is 5264. Once you type the code, the game will automatically open the passage.
Music Box
Further in the forest you will encounter another gate. It will be missing a handle. In order to open it, you must obtain the missing piece. It can be found in the music box lying next to the path.
In order to open the music box, you must precisely repeat the melody it will play. You must do it 3 times. Once you start the music box, you will see the movement of buttons. Once the melody is over, you must press all buttons in the same way as the game had shown to you. In the above screen the buttons are marked with numbers. Below you can see exactly how the melody will go. Simply press the buttons marked with the correct number.
First melody - 1, 3, 7, 9, 5
Second melody - 4, 3, 7, 2, 9
Third melody - 4, 6, 1, 8, 2, 8
Once you get the handle, you must go with it to the gate. There you must pull the item from the equipment and use it on the gate. This will enable you to open the further path.
