Anybody figure out the new code needed to override lockdown at the beginning of the game?

Thanks,
FJT

Yes, what do you need as a hint?

Let's wait for someone playing this game to help us here.

I understand the math, but what 2 numbers do you use to come up with the 4 digit code. I've tried several to no avail.
Thanks, FJT

Have you reset the computer?

It tells me that the code is incorrect and then I'll plug in another one with no success. Do you use the 2 numbers calculated on the paper that was in the trash?

So you haven't reset the computer... right?

I guess not.

The clue to how you can reset the computer is in the same room.

Yes, I saw that note on the board, but I can't seem to determine which numbers I use to compute a new code.

Thanks, I'll try to figure that out.

"Notice" it

Thanks, Greyfuss.

FJT.

I tired everything I can think of for a code, but nothing. I need to find out how to do this. I want to get past this. Thanks.You can e-mail me if you don't want to put too much in here.

Me too if it pleases you, thank you.

If you haven't "Reset" the computer, you wont get the numbers you need to decipher the code. The Notice on the board explains what you need to do to reset the computer.

I am not sure what to do. I have some numbers, but they don't add up to 4 didgets, and I read that you need some numbers. I have the paper from the garbage, but even trying the formula, it doesn't seem to work. Is there another place to reset the computer? It only wants the code, but I have things from the drawer, and maybe I need to go to other rooms first. Is this what is needed? Sorry. I don't know how to solve this one. Thanks. Vicki

Have you noticed the electrical box next to the bulletin board where the Notice is?

I turned it off for the fan, but it won't let me turn it back on.

Before you turn it back on you need to do something to the fan.

I tried to use everything I have on the fan, but nothing works. I don't know if I missed something. I have a flash drive, tools, and a card from the drawer. Also the papers from the garbage. Am I missing something? Thanks for your help.

A table leg might prove useful

Thanks...very helpful. It ig getting good. Thanks for your help. Vicki

Hi All,
I must be dense. I turned off the box, inserted a leg into one of the fans (actually unscrewed 2 legs but could only use 1 )but I don't know how to rest the computer. Am I missing something? I've gone over it a couple dozen times and am getting really frustrated.
Please Help!!!
Thanks,

jmdsmd1

Did you turn the fan power back on?

Hi,
No, it won't allow me to. From what I've been reading I have to reset the computer first and I don't know how to do it.
Thanks for your help!

You have it backwards...you need to create a power failure during the Lockdown period for the computer to reset. One way of during that is to blow a fuse or make a power overload. Go back to the fan power switch.

Sorry, I just don't understand what I need to do next and I can't think of any options I haven't tried.. Any chance you could just tell me? In a pm ?
Otherwise I just have to quit until there's a walkthrough. I appreciate your trying to help , regardless !

You should be able to turn the fan power back on. If you haven't already go back to the fan switch box and slide the lever up

No that's the problem.I mentioned before that the lever is no longer active so I can't turn it back on.

If you can get back into the box then I believe the lever can be moved. If you had already turned it back on the whole box would no longer be active. I can't remember for sure how I did it but have you clicked, hold and slid the switch or just plain played around with it?

Remember "vent covers cannot be removed whilst fans are on", which also means....the fans can't be switched on if the covers are off.

Thats got to be the answer...thanks Dan

Which room had the drawer with the tools, etc.

Thanks, FJT

Never mind. I found it and was finally able to reset the computer.

Getting quite far, but now sure what to do with anything yet. Got in some rooms. Think I know where the hotel is by some directions and the map in the briefing room. Can't get into the shower room....the code is different and haven't found anything that works yet. Need a hint or help with that. So far I am enjoying the game. I think this will take me a lot of time without a walkthrough. I am not that good at solving everything. Wish I could print the layout from the computer, but my computer can't. It would be easier than drawing everything out. Vicki

Could also need some help with the access to the work area shower. Got the right keycard and now it seems like it needs a new code, but where to get it from? Any hints anybody? *thx*

I also have a problem with the shower room. I don't know how Kegan calculated his code for the Processing room. I think that's the key. Also the two weekly plans could provide a hint (the one in the trash bin and the one on the board).

I am still stumped. Need to know how to get a code for the showers.

I'm with you too. Is there anybody out there who has the answer?

I have all the answers.

Ok, so, what do we have? A street map? A list of what look like directions? Some mention of a hotel? Hmmmm, what about this hotel? If only we could find out where it was. And then once we'd found out where it was, if only we had a search engine at our disposal to search for what hotel might be on that street. And since we know this hotel means something (otherwise why would it be mentioned) perhaps this will yield some more useful information.

Remember folks - you're a Sheriff - you're investigating - there are no set ways to go about things - it's up to you to decide how you need to use whatever items and whatever info you have at any one time, to progress and ultimately discover what has happened here.

Good luck.

I did find this and think I know the street, but it doesn't come up on the search engine, and I don't know the name of it. So I can't look it up that way. I followed the directions and think I did it right. It is driving me crazy...doing this for the second day. Also I wish I had the layout of the place, but I can't print the screen and get it. My map is messy. Thanks. If you could give me a hint, of maybe the letter of the street. I think I am right. But with all the crazy directions and streets coming in at some angles, it may not be right.

Here is the layout (Use right click to save it on your disk. Then print it):





First letter(s) of the street are:

I am right about the street, but I put it in the data base, and it had 0 results. Is that what I am supposed to put in? Thanks for the help

Try different ways to enter it and remember what you were looking for on that street. There seems to be only one way for the Search engine to work.

BTW...I think these puzzles are brilliant and most have taken a lot of thought to the multi layers they have.

Got it but not sure what to do with it. Looked everywhere that it lets me go, but nothing. Even the search engine only seems to do that one thing. I tried every number I have and did different combos, but nothing. I thyink I am really stumped. I may not get any farther til the walkthrough gets out. It has taken two days to get only a couple of things done. I thought I was good at logic, but this time it has me. I have had so many ideas, but none has panned out. Any suggestions on how to proceed would be appreciated. I can't get intom the shower area. Thanks for all your help.

Yes, and I wonder why they didn't allowed different combinations of key words to give same result? This way it can be frustrating. As WRMpls2, I had problem with this search engine puzzle just because I didn't type words in the same way as designers were thinking they should be typed. That make you think that you maybe got wrong street from map and that is not something you want to do over again.

BTW, I like game so far and story keeps you playing more.

Have you used search engine more then just for obtaining hotel address?

Many ways, but with no luck. Don't know what else t put in. Did everything I could with all the info I had. Used my notes also. HELP!!! thanks.

As we are looking for a try to include it in your search term with the name of the street that you have already found out.

It seems to matter, if you write for example street or Street!

I did that, but now don't know where to turn. I found nothing so far after finding out the hotel name, etc. Is there something else to search for?

Yes, there is.

Don't know how to give you a clue without saying the answer. Along with the name and adress of the hotel (result page), there is another information you should look deeper into it and search for it using the search engine.


Solution:

Got the info, but any numbers I have won't work no matter if I use the formula or not. I admit I am stumped. Most games I can figure out something, but I have been everywhere, and can use nothing I have. Need the code (I think) to get into the shower room. Please help me. I want to play tonight. A few minutes at a time is getting old. I have never had this happen before. They did a good job with the puzzles. Thanks for all your help. Vicki

Just to get my bearings right at the beginning using the map, is the first right onto Dalton. And then when you go straight, is it for just one block?

Thanks, FJT

If you are trying to find out where the hotel is, there is a note on the board in the briefing room that tells you how and where to start, and which way to turn 1st. I took it as "straight" was one block each time and found it right away. Hope this helps.

Yes I have the note with all the turns listed as well as the map. I just want to make sure that I'm starting at the right place on S. Circular. So again, is my first right Dalton.

Thanks, FJT

I think it is Ashton.

Direction

Can anyone point me in the right direction so I can play tonight? I stay up late and no one will be here to help. Need a few hints. If you don't want to put it in here, it is ok to e-mail me with the info. I am at a standstill. don't think there is anything to put in the search engine after the two things. I think the code is something to do with what HotelMan wrote (date), but it didn't work, so now I am very stuck. Need a few things to work on tonight so I can get past this spot. Thanks

Thanks to you both. We'll give it a go.

FJT

Just curious GreyFuss, why do you turn rt. on Ashton and not any other street that comes first?

Thanks, FJT

Thats the way the directions read...



Does that make sense?

Do you have any suggestions on what to do after reading about the manager of then hotel? I know it has a date, but that doesn't work for the shower room. Thanks.

I'm stuck exactly where VRMpls2 is. From the website I have gathered 2 details. One is the "international love date" and a time, place and date for I'm guessing footage to access the cameras with. I've inputed the data to get the cameras working it does nothing so I don't have a clue what this second code could be and how it applies to the shower door. I've fixed the pipes under the shower so they are ready to go but I cannot get into that shower room without that darn code. any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

How did you fix the shower pipes? I can't get anything to work. Also, where are the cameras, I found a time in the search engine, but I don't remember a date and place. Didn't get anything about cameras, so I will loo0k again. Can you give me a clue so I can play tonight? Thanks.

Why not Dalton?

Check your PM


FJT

Where are you starting from? Read the board in the Briefing room carefully

Sent you a message through pm, I think. I have never used that. Hope you can get me started. Thanks

I'm stuck and have spent hours doing all kinds of math to no avail. I reset the computers but cannot open any of the locked doors. Am I missing something really obvious? I can't go anywhere even though I reset and entered the new code. Please help!

See you Private Messages (PM's)

Did the code you entered in the computer work?

Got it GreyFuss. Thanks a lot. FJT

Yes, it did.

So you are looking at a drawing of the facility right?

Do you have any keycards?

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.

Yes and yes. I see the diagram and I have Keegan's keycard but I've tried every combination imaginable and I can't unlock the doors..

Have you looked the the waste basket?

Yes, that's how I figured out how to get the reset code from the 2 codes that the computer gave me.

There were 2 pieces of paper wasn't there?

yes

What room is your Keycard for?

Still stuck. I can see the kitchen storeroom in the computer, but can't figure out the date or room to look at for the camera. Not seeing anyone talking in it. Help please. Thanks.

Check the notice board again, if you haven't yet listened to any archived material.

Thanks Greyfuss,
The obvious often escapes me. I always have to complicate things! I did pages of calculations like an idiot ! Anyway I'm finally doing some serious exploring.Thanks for the nudge in the right direction. I love this game!!! Have to take a break every so often because it makes me very uneasy...

Listened to briefing room. Is there any other to listen to?

Hmm, I think there must be something to see/listen to also with the informations we got ... I'm trying to figure out the date the incident may be happened actually...

I don't know the incident date either....and am not making headway. Been in the same spot since yesterday pretty much. I cannot find any other tape to listen to on the computer. I am getting ready to give up. Getting in and out of the game and waiting til someone can answer gets hard after awhile. I have tried every date I have, and the rooms, but nothing. Don't know what I am missing, but will try for awhile.

Well, I can't help, I'm as far as you are.

Maybe someone else have a clue for us? *please*

Have you been into Cell 7 yet?

And everyone should remember that this place is like a Military complex.

Well, I'm also stuck.

International Day of Love, well, could be... tomorrow. But it's Sasha's Code, not Remelia's. I need Remelia's Code for the shower room. Now I know Kegan's Code and Sasha's Code (maybe). But it doesn't help me.

I still can't access the Shower room and I see no other way to go from here. Maybe I'm overseeing something.

And I've also been in Cell 7, but can't figure out how to use the information given. Maybe I should find some data for the USB drive.

You are on the right track...figure it out

I don't know how to get into cell 7 or do the data drive. I guess I am not getting it. I heard the computer briefing room talk, but nothing else. I am still where I was yesterday. I tried half of last night and nothing. I am ready to quit. Don't know if tyhere is something else to listen to, but have tried all kinds of ways with dates and rooms, but nothing. What am I missing? I need some real help. Losing interest because I can't seem to get it. The last two days I have been trying to solve this.

I even can't tell how I accessed cell 7. I'm pretty sure it was closed when I was in that corridor for the first time. Now it's open. I did not do anything with that door. The trigger must have been somewhere else.

I'm trying. I'm still not sure if the name ends on D or O. I think it's a D, but searching for both in the search engine did not help. The number seems to be the individual number of the prisoners. 13... hm. Days? I don't think so. How could they know how many days have passed without a window or any other clue how late it is...

Is that written in blood?

It's a .

Don't use the search engine. Try something else, as you have the name and the acquisition number.

Don't know, for me it looks like blood. But it's not a hotspot so we can't do anything with it.

As neon, I can't tell you what the trigger is for opening the cell 7 door. It was locked before, but then as I walked again there, the cardreader shows green instead of red.

Is there anything I need to listen to on the computer beside the briefing room? If so, what? Please help or I can't keep trying. Two days is enough. Cell 7 is still locked, and I haven't seen anything about cell 7, so that may be them trigger to open it. I have tried eveything I have and all the info on both computers, but nothing. If I can't get past this, I will just have to quit, which is something I don't do often. I am sooooooo frustrated now that it isn't fun anymore. Want to move past this point so I can play it. Thanks

Ok, one step closer. Now I have a lot of data and I try to figure out what it means.

I'm still sure there is a way to calculate the access codes. If only I could find the pattern how Kegan did it with his code. My problem is, I can't imagine in which way personal data of the prisoners can be related to the access codes. And even if there is a connection, how do I use it? Still trying... it feels like the solution is very close.

It's a great game in my opinion. It's not just like clicking through boring inventory puzzles, it's hard brain work.

Will MaG be doing a walkthrough for this game?

Step by step. Did you already look into the box in the processing room? That's one I missed when I first came into the room.

What is the date the incident happened? I read the web sight so many times and used every date there, and nothing. I also don'tm, know which room for the video except them briefing room. I think I am right on the time. This is so frustrating. I usually have ideas, but after all this time, I ran out. Please help me get past this. Mine hasn't had any clue about the cell, so that ism probably why it isn't open yet. Don't know how to get the clue.

What incident do you mean, the day they caught Michael Sylar?

No. Something about Sasha. I used the Sylar date to hear the briefing video, but don't know if there is something else. After hearing the brief, I have tried everything I have on the computer, been everywhere, and nothing works with what I have. I have searched all walls, etc. in case there is a hot spot I missed, and the only ones that show up can't be used with anything I have. I don't know where to turn now. Can't get to where all the other people are. don't know how to move on at all. Been trying for 2 days. Please help. Can't go the the web sight and e-mail them, it says all my 3 e-mails are not valid when I put them in. Need all the hints I can get so I can play today.

Sure, but the table legs also were no hotspots. So it seems that it's possible to interact with objects even if they are not highlighted.

That means I have to try out everything in the game, even if it's not obvious.

How many objects do you have in your inventory?

Ok. I figured out how to play archive record for incident involving Sasha and Remelia. Also, playing this record is crucial for getting Remelia code (you simply cannot calculate that code).

So here it is:



BTW, I have no idea what triggered cell 7 opening. If someone knows I would like to hear explanation.

That was the final clue. I'm in. Somebody mentioned pipes to be repaired, and I also remember it was somebody who also did not enter the shower room. What pipes? I can't find any pipes.

Can anybody tell me, when a walkthrtough is available anywhere?

Kind regrads

@neon

you will find the pipes here: go to processing storeroom, turn left and in the right corner you should find something...

I'm still having a problem accessing information on the search engine for the hotel on F.... L... What info. exactly do you put in. And how do you know to put HotelMan in the search engine?

Thanks,
FJT

Do you have the town map?

You don't need to repair pipes, just to "rearrange" them a little :-) Anyway, after listening Sasha incident audio record it should be obvious what pipes and why :-)

Yes. I believe the street is Fargo Lane. Is that correct?

Answer:

Thanks so much JoJo and Emir. Now can you give me a hint as to how to access the showers, if that indeed should be my next move.

I think for this one should find out how to trigger the cell 7 door to be opened. I'd really like to know how I made it.

For the pipes, found it. At least the entrance. Now I have two pipes looking up, one in my inventory and the brackets. Stuck again from there, but I'm sure I'll solve that somehow.

Did you get Remelia's code?

Do you have pliers in inventory?

Yes I got Remelia's code.

Then:

I had. They're gone after I prepared both pipes.

Thanks Emir. I'll do that.

hmm...did you already discovered the two shelfs inside the procession storeroom (turn right, forward, then right)...? you should find there some other items you will need for the pipes..
(plastic bottle, garden hose etc.)

Walkthrough for those who are interested.

http://www.justadventure.com/article/91/walkthroughs-corrosion-cold-winter-waiting

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you Dan. FJT

You're a doll. that will help a lot. Thanks.

I cannot cut the plastic bottle because after cutting the two hhoses, it took the knife away. Any suggestions?

Scroll left or right in your inventory to make sure it's not hidden.

I already tried that. Didn't move. Don't know where it went. If it won't come back, I may need a saved game for after cell 7.

Make sure the you are clicking the the left arrow on the inventory and that it turns red. Each click only moves the inventory one item at a time.

It won't let me get close to the arrow. It goes as far as thye code note and then won't move. The note will come up, but can't do the arrow. I have tried to move it right or left, but nothing.

You can't see the arrow?

I can see the right and left arrow, but it will only let me get to the code note on the left, and no further. I cannot even touch the arrow on the left....only the right one. But nothing happens with touching the right one. Does anyone have a saved game for just after cell 7? Or after looking into the computer about Joshua. That is where I am. Thanks.

Thats strange, you can see the left arrow but can't touch it...check the whole inventory for the knife, I may be confusing this with another game I am playing but I remember a knife moving from the first position in the inventory to somewhere in the middle after using it. Right now in my game the knife is still sitting in the first position.

I only have about 11 items in the inventory, and it won't even go right because of it. I am ready to quit now. 5 hours on the problem and 2 days trying to get past the partm about cell 7, that is enough. Great game, but not worth the frustration. I don't need to get this upset. Only have about an hour left tonight to play. So if I can't fix this or get a saved game, I will be ready to give it up. Don't want to start over.

I think cell 7 is triggered by accessing the briefing room archive

Walkthrough: <<Go to the Furnace Room, the door to which is in the Processing Storeroom. Un-lock it and go in. Look closer at the floor of the furnace and pick up the scrap of paper. Examine it.
It's part of a burnt receipt for something called SD6-159 that was delivered to Kegan on 7 November 2009. Pull back and look closer at the closed panel on the wall at left. It has a lock and a keyhole, but you don't have the key.
Go to the computer in the Processing Room. Search for SD6-159 and read the result. Interesting...>>
I searched Name : Kegan Number : SD6-159
and no answer at all for me ...

Sorry, I found out. The search has to be made in the KinglySoft Browser not in the Acquisition Database as I did.

Any save for me after the race?

Thanks.

Arthur, I added a spoiler tag so as not to spoil someones experience as to what happens.

I also edited out your email address. Members and staff can access your profile and get your email address there.

Ana

I finally succeeded in finishing the game thanks to the (vital?, indispensable?) Walkthrough.
Many thanks!

Great that you finished the game, Arthur.

Hello Rushes !

Where is the code for the office of Donald. Thanks.

---------------

Sorry, found!

Glad you found it, mayday.

I'm looking at the WT from JA but when I print it the right side is cut off. Is there another way I can print it with out the right side not cut off. Thanks
Richard

Kjos, you might want to try to cut and paste the text of the walkthrough to notepad or word, then print.

macmac, I will try that. thanks. It worked thanks again
Richard

I am unsure of what I am to do with the map found in the drawer. Do I actually somehow use my mouse to find the street etc. I need to find...ie..f.... l.... not clear on what to do here. Or do I just refer to the map not actually use it in the game? Thanks...

You need to use the map to find a location (street) using directions found in 2 places of the game however the map is not interactive. What I did to make it easy was to "Print Screen" both the upper and lower map sections, print them out and tape them together. they fit together perfectly and then with a pencil you can trace the directions.

Thank you!

I am using the walkthrough and supposedly cell 7 should be open now. But when I go there it is still locked....the walkthrough says after reading the bolg of HOTELMAN go to the cell area. Cell 7 is now open, but it is still locked in my game...I need a hint. Thanks...

Linda, I'm there right now at cell 7.

I do not know if this can help: did you read all sections of the blog?

Chief

Hi, say I'm sure I read the whole blog...tried to follow the walkthrough. But cell #7 still not open...

Linda, read a few preceding pages of this present topic.

Chief

I have gone over all the places I have been so far. No matter what I redo the #7 cell is not open. Could someone send me a save game at this point please?

Linda, see your e-mail.

Chief


EDIT: I sent you 3 e-mails.

Thank you!

Thanks, Chief.

I am now in an area just after I went through a duct system...fell to a concrete floor and found my way out. I am in a room with a cell, chairs, board with Order of the Red Butterfly notes on it. Picked up the paper on the chair and read that. The walkthrough says now turn around, turn right, turn left and face the locked door. It will now open for you. But the door doesn't open...I presume it means the actual door not the cell door. Can anyone tell me why the door won't open for me at this point. Thank you for any help....

Linda, I do not remember if it's after opening the door or before that you get a very weird looking screen and that you can only follow one path.

Are you getting this weird screen before opening the door?

If you do not get that and can't open the door, I do not know why.

Chief

I don't remember getting a weird screen, no....
would it be possible to get a saved game just after this point? Thanks....I will go back to the game and move around a bit more for now. Went back and loaded a saved game just before enterting the duct...this time it worked...the door opened!

I have the card for Sasha's bedroom. When I try to use it I am asked for her code. Can anyone tell me where I find her code again? Thanks...

Linda, you can find it of course in the previous pages of the WT or use this code: .

Chief

Chief.
