How To Solve The Gift Shop Safe Puzzle In Alan Wake 2

In the thrilling game Alan Wake 2, players encounter a challenging puzzle in the gift shop safe. This guide will walk you through the steps to successfully solve this puzzle and retrieve the key. So let's dive in and unravel the mystery!

To begin, you'll need to locate a note from Jaakko, which mentions Ilmo changing the combination for the safe. This note suggests that the code might be hidden within a profiling session against the brothers. To find this clue, you'll need to enter your mind palace and profile the brothers.

During the profiling session, you'll discover that Ilmo wrote down three terms as part of the new combination: Tracker, Lookout, Cleaner. It's important to take note of these terms as they hold significance in solving the puzzle.

Proceed to locate the employee board within Alan Wake 2. This board displays pictures of the employees and is arranged in a specific way, mirroring the numbers on the safe combination. It's essential to pay close attention to the arrangement and the details of each employee picture.

Now it's time to analyze each of the terms (Tracker, Lookout, Cleaner) and determine which employees they refer to based on context clues. This step will require your deduction skills and attention to detail. Look for any hints or connections that might help you match each term with an employee picture on the board.

Based on your analysis from step 4, you can now connect the term "Tracker" with Susan, who works at Lost and Found. This association suggests that Susan is the employee associated with the number 1. Similarly, you can associate the term "Lookout" with Joonas, who works in Security. Joonas is the employee associated with the number 4. Lastly, the term "Cleaner" can be related to Victor, the Janitor. Victor is the employee associated with the number 6.

Armed with this newfound knowledge, it's time to crack the safe code. Input the code "1" for Susan at Lost and Found (Tracker), followed by entering code "4" for Joonas at Security (Lookout). Finally, input the code "6" for Victor the Janitor (Cleaner). Make sure to enter the codes in the correct order to unlock the safe.

With the correct code (1-4-6) entered, open the gift shop safe. As the safe door swings open, retrieve the key hidden within. This key will be essential for you to continue your thrilling journey in Alan Wake 2.
