Level 18 - Elevator Puzzle and Key Collection

Level 18

Video Walkthrough

Objective

Open the vault by collecting items, using the lens to reveal a symbol clue, collecting multiple keys through various methods, adjusting the frequency dial with the diskette, and solving the elevator puzzle to collect the final puzzle part.

Step-by-Step Solution

  1. Look at the front left of the safe to find a Briefcase
  2. Collect the Briefcase from the front left
  3. Open the Briefcase in your inventory to get a Diskette
  4. Turn to the back of the safe and look for a small model elevator
  5. Look inside the small model elevator to find a blue Lens
  6. Collect the blue Lens from inside the model elevator
  7. Turn to the front of the safe and look at the top right
  8. Find the round slot on the top right of the safe
  9. Place the Lens in the round slot
  10. This reveals a three-symbol clue
  11. Look at the top of the safe to find a padlock
  12. Use the three-symbol clue on the padlock
  13. Set the symbols on the padlock to match the three-symbol clue
  14. When the padlock is opened correctly, collect the Magnet
  15. Look at the top of the safe to find a round yellow lid
  16. Turn the yellow lid to open it
  17. Collect the Bronze Key from inside the opened lid
  18. Turn to the right side of the safe and look for a postbox
  19. The postbox has a key behind glass
  20. Use the Magnet on the postbox to drag up the key
  21. Collect the Golden Key that is pulled up by the magnet
  22. Turn to the left side of the safe
  23. Look for three key-shaped slots on the left side
  24. Use the Golden Key in the top key-shaped slot
  25. This opens the first slot and you can collect a Silver Key
  26. Collect the Silver Key from the opened slot
  27. Use the Silver Key in the second slot on the left side
  28. Use the Bronze Key in the third slot on the left side
  29. When all three keys are used correctly, a door opens
  30. Collect the Cog Key from the opened door
  31. Turn to the front of the safe and look at the right side
  32. Find the cog-shaped hole on the right side
  33. Use the Cog Key in the cog-shaped hole
  34. This opens an outer door
  35. Look inside the opened door near the bottom to find a wide slot
  36. Place the Diskette into the wide slot at the bottom
  37. Look above the slot to find a knob
  38. Turn the knob above the slot to adjust the frequency dial on the left
  39. Watch the waveform display as you adjust the frequency
  40. Continue adjusting until the waveform becomes smooth
  41. When the waveform is smooth, you can collect the Elevator's Card
  42. Collect the Elevator's Card
  43. Turn to the back of the safe and look at the elevator
  44. Find the elevator buttons on the right side of the elevator
  45. Add the Elevator's Card to the elevator buttons
  46. Now you can use the elevator buttons to move between floors
  47. Use the buttons to send the elevator up to Floor III
  48. When the elevator reaches Floor III, collect a Movable Puzzle Part
  49. Collect the Movable Puzzle Part from Floor III
  50. Use the elevator buttons to return to Floor I
  51. Look at the center of the elevator area on Floor I
  52. Add the Movable Puzzle Part to the center
  53. Complete the puzzle with the movable part to unlock the vault
  54. Collect the artifact to complete Level 18

💡 Tips & Tricks

  • Make sure to open the Briefcase in your inventory to get the Diskette - it won't appear automatically
  • The lens must be placed in the round slot before the three-symbol clue will appear
  • The three symbols on the padlock must match exactly - check the clue carefully
  • The magnet is used to pull the key up from behind the glass in the postbox
  • All three keys (Golden, Silver, Bronze) must be used in the correct slots on the left side
  • The keys must be used in order: Golden in top slot, Silver in second slot, Bronze in third slot
  • The diskette must be placed in the slot before you can adjust the frequency dial
  • Adjust the frequency dial slowly and watch the waveform - it needs to be completely smooth
  • The elevator card must be added to the buttons before you can use the elevator
  • Make sure to collect the Movable Puzzle Part from Floor III before returning to Floor I
  • The movable puzzle part must be added to the center on Floor I to complete the puzzle

⚠️ Common Mistakes

  • Not opening the Briefcase in inventory to get the Diskette
  • Placing the lens in the wrong slot - it must go in the round slot on the top right
  • Not seeing the three-symbol clue after placing the lens
  • Setting the padlock symbols incorrectly - they must match the three-symbol clue exactly
  • Not using the magnet correctly to pull the key from the postbox
  • Using the keys in wrong order on the left side - Golden first, then Silver, then Bronze
  • Not using all three keys before trying to collect the Cog Key
  • Placing the diskette before using the Cog Key to open the door
  • Not adjusting the frequency dial enough - the waveform must be completely smooth
  • Trying to use the elevator without adding the Elevator's Card to the buttons
  • Not going to Floor III to collect the Movable Puzzle Part
  • Forgetting to return to Floor I after collecting the puzzle part
  • Not adding the Movable Puzzle Part to the center on Floor I

Additional Notes

Level 18 introduces multi-key collection systems, frequency dial adjustment, elevator mechanics, and movable puzzle parts that require careful item management and sequential problem solving.
