closed doors, combinations of safes, weapon boxes and terminals

Weapons and other valuables inside Alan Wake 2 can be hidden in safes, shelters and other closed places. Often the player can find hints nearby that will help him enter the right combination of numbers or symbols, but sometimes solving the riddles is not an easy task. In this guide, we’ve collected all the passwords and lock codes in Alan Wake 2 to help you through.

All passwords in this guide are organized chronologically, by chapter, by location and whether they relate to Alan or Saga. It is worth noting that Alan Wake 2 is designed in a rather unusual way. Both characters have their own set of chapters. In Saga they are referred to as “Return”, and in Alan they are referred to as “Initiation”.

Each set contains 9 chapters. After completing the first five chapters (“Return” 1-2, “Initiation” 1-3), you’ll be given the option to seamlessly switch between characters and progress through the story in any order. In this manual, chapter titles correspond to the titles in the save files (they may be indicated differently in the list of achievements/trophies).

In the first chapter you can only find one locked chest. Even if you don’t open it now, you can return here later when you complete chapters for the Saga.

This cache is located next to the crime scene near a small trailer. Apparently cult members lived here, as special symbols of the cult can be found in the house. With their help you can open this chest, which is on the street in front of the trailer. You can find the correct combination in the image below (see also our walkthrough guide).

In the next part of the walkthrough, several chests, a locker with weapons and a computer will be available.

When you visit the Witch’s Hut, find Alan’s fuse and the next page, you need to go to the shop. Once inside you will encounter an enemy. Once you’ve defeated him, investigate the previously locked room. On the wall on the right hangs a cupboard with a sawed-off shotgun. Code-739.

Walk along the water. You have to squeeze through the second fallen lake on the right. You see a box. To open it, click on the previously lit buttons in the same order. Inside you’ll find supplies and an inventory upgrade. Don’t forget to read the note on the lid to get an idea.

Returning through the huge tree to the previously explored area, you will come to a clearing in front of the campsite. On the left is a table and behind it a locked cache of cult members. You can open it with the key on the nearby stone. Just follow the arrows painted on the trees.

As you progress through the chapter, you’ll enter a house with a password-protected computer and a supply box on the ground floor. The password is on a sticker that is placed on the monitor itself, but is quite difficult to read due to the lighting conditions. The computer’s code is 2547.

Run from the two-story building (station) to the riverbank. There is a small house on the hill on the right – start the generator. Behind the gate on the other side you see the hideout of the sect members, closed with a combination lock. The password is written on a tree and on a large stone by the river: 658.

In the first part of the chapter you will only encounter one closed door.

Once you watch the video, you have to leave the studio. The code is on the wall in the first open room – 665. However, after a while you will end up here again. This time the code doesn’t work and the numbers on the wall start flickering. The correct combination is 565.

Outside the Hunting Lodge, which serves as a recreation room. Code – 527. In the cache you will find a crossbow.

The code can be found at the bottom of the Slow Roaster ride. The correct combination is 147.

This cache requires a key, not a code. The cache itself is located in the World of Coffee theme park, behind the Houtari Well, next to the tree. To get the key, head east to the Mr. Drippy statue (the coffee mascot) and find the key on the ground behind it.

You can find the code for this safe by looking at the note on the safe. In it you will find a series of words: ‘Watchman, observer, cleaner.’ Take a look at the staff board, which hangs on the wall to the left of the same room. The words mentioned are synonyms for the functions of three employees: Lost and Found Officer, Security Guard and Concierge. There are 9 employees on the board and they correspond to 9 buttons on the safe panel (top left is “1”, bottom right is “9”). Accordingly, lost and found employee = 1, security guard = 4, concierge = 6.

This is a symbolic code. During your tour, you’ll find his combination behind Mr. Drippy’s large coffee mug on the southwest side of the workshop. It shows three red icons. You will find the correct combination in the screenshot below:

The cache is located on a ledge northwest of the lighthouse. You can find the lock combination in the screenshot below. You can open the lock yourself by looking at the symbols II and III for the second and third symbols respectively and then trying the first number until you find the right one.

The cache code is 496.

In this chapter you play as Alan. There is only one closed door here. The door code is 2550.

Here you will find several cultist caches, as well as a blocked terminal. We have listed all passwords below.

The cache is located in the back of a pickup, south of the break room. Code – 177.

Once you reach the security room, enter code 170823 to unlock the doors. Go north to the staff canteen and examine the chest behind the reception desk. Return to the door to the right of the security room – there you will find a gun.

Just north of the main trail past the rest area, just before the road splits into two trails. The code is on the stone, just follow the arrows.

Go to the pier south of the Sheriff’s Office and use the Bolt Cutter to open the gate. Enter the shed and find the cache. The code is 697. Inside you will find an inventory upgrade.

The cache is located behind a closed gate next to the snack bar and the station, accessible with bolt cutters. You can find the code by looking at the symbols in the park. One of them is on the radar antenna, the second is in the gazebo, and the third is on the benches.

To find it, open the gate next to the Kalevala Knights Workshop. Code-542.

In the last story chapter, there are only two locked boxes. One contains a weapon for the main character and the second opens a cache of cult members.

In Sheriff Tim Breaker’s office, in the display case. The code is 723. To gain access to the room, you must first kill the Taken and get the keys to the station from the FBI agent in the closet.

In the evidence room, in the basement of the Sheriff’s Office. The code is 146. If this is your last Cultist Cache, you will find the Lighthouse Key in Wateree. If you go to the lighthouse, you will find some materials and a few pages inside.
