Level 27

Video Walkthrough

Objective

Open the vault by collecting clues from panels and clips, solving the wheel puzzle to get code 5269, completing the slider puzzle using letter clue, and solving the safe dial puzzle using number and arrow directions.

Step-by-Step Solution

  1. Turn to the right side of the safe
  2. Find a square center panel on the right side
  3. Open the square center panel
  4. Inside you will find a clue with four numbers
  5. Each number has an arrow direction associated with it
  6. Note these four numbers and their arrow directions - you will need them later
  7. Look below the square panel
  8. Find a small switch below the panel
  9. Flip the small switch to reveal another clue
  10. This clue shows letters that will be needed for the slider puzzle
  11. Note the letter clue as you will need it later
  12. Turn to the back of the safe
  13. Find a small panel with three gold clips
  14. Open the three gold clips on the small panel
  15. Inside you will find a clue showing four symbols
  16. Note these four symbols - you will need to find them on the wheel
  17. Look for a large circle wheel on the back of the safe
  18. Turn the large circle wheel to locate the four symbols from the clue
  19. Rotate the wheel to find each of the four symbols
  20. Each symbol will be next to a number when you find it
  21. Note the number next to each symbol
  22. When you find all four symbols and their numbers, combine them to form a four-digit code
  23. The code is 5269 (based on the numbers next to the symbols)
  24. Turn to the front of the safe
  25. Find a code entry panel or mechanism
  26. Enter the code 5269
  27. When the correct code is entered, a clap opens on the front
  28. Collect the Slider from the opened clap
  29. Look for the slider puzzle area on the safe
  30. Find the third line in the slider puzzle
  31. Place the Slider on the third line
  32. You will see four sliders that need to be set
  33. Use the letter clue you found earlier from the switch
  34. Set the four sliders to positions based on the letter clue
  35. Match the slider positions to the letters shown in the clue
  36. When all four sliders are set correctly according to the letter clue, the puzzle is solved
  37. Turn to the front of the safe to find the safe dial
  38. Look for the safe dial mechanism
  39. Use the four numbers with arrow directions from the square panel clue
  40. Start at the top middle position of the dial
  41. Move clockwise around the dial following the clue
  42. Turn the dial to 40, moving Clockwise
  43. Turn the dial to 60, moving Anti-clockwise
  44. Turn the dial to 20, moving Anti-clockwise
  45. Turn the dial to 50, moving Clockwise
  46. When the dial is set correctly following all four directions, the safe opens
  47. Collect the Botanical Encyclopedia artifact to complete Level 27

💡 Tips & Tricks

  • The square panel on the right side contains important clues - don't miss it
  • Each number in the square panel has an arrow direction - remember both
  • The small switch below the panel reveals the letter clue for the slider puzzle
  • The three gold clips must all be opened to access the symbols clue
  • For the wheel puzzle, rotate slowly to find each symbol
  • Each symbol will have a number next to it - note all four numbers
  • The code 5269 comes from combining the numbers next to the symbols
  • The slider must be placed on the third line, not the first or second
  • The letter clue from the switch is used to set the slider positions
  • For the safe dial, start at the top middle and move clockwise
  • Follow the arrow directions exactly - clockwise and anti-clockwise matter
  • The sequence is: 40 clockwise, 60 anti-clockwise, 20 anti-clockwise, 50 clockwise
  • Take your time with the dial - the directions are important

⚠️ Common Mistakes

  • Not opening the square panel on the right side to get the number clue
  • Not noting the arrow directions with the numbers
