- (Interact with the exit, optional)
- Fairy: Master, our commission objective has not yet been completed
- (Interact with the vault entrance)
- Fairy Smart Intervention: "Master, the entrance gate uses an old-school combination lock that is cut-, impact- and blast-resistant."
- Fairy Smart Intervention: "It is a four-digit code. The data provided by the client suggests the last squad responsible should've left behind some clues about the code."
- Fairy Smart Intervention: "Suggestion: Search for traces of the last squad and clues about the code."
- Blast-proof Combination Lock: Fairy's abilities don't work on physical locks, so we'll need to figure out the code if we want to open the door.
Upon closer inspection, every number dial on the lock has some markings etched into it. - Could these man-made scratches really be a clue to the code?
Inspect the Combination Lock- Fairy's inspection results: "The 1st scratch is a rising sun, and the dial only has 4 numbers on it: 0/8/2/1."
- Fairy's inspection results: "The 2nd scratch is just the sun, and the dial only has 4 numbers on it: 2/4/3/7."
- Fairy's inspection results: "The 3rd scratch is a setting sun, and the dial only has 4 numbers on it: 5/4/1/9."
- Fairy's inspection results: "The 4th scratch is a moon, and the dial is jammed stuck on the number 1."
