Sometimes these puzzles are pretty easy, while other times they’ll take a keen eye for the details. We’ll be bringing you several guides on Layers of Fear 2‘s puzzles, beginning with one of the first stoppages players will face in the game.

Where to Find the Padlock Combination
As you enter the dark room with the pirate eyepatch on display to your right, you can pick it up to hear a bit of story dialogue. After that, trying to exit will quickly have some of the ceiling cave in on you. That leaves you with just one exit: the door with a padlock on it.
As the game locks you in this room, you can rest assured the answer lies within, and more specifically, above. You’ll need a three-digit combination to get through the door but nothing else you can toy with in the room seems to give any hints.
The answer you’re searching for has actually gone over your head. No, literally. If you’re looking at the combination lock, do a 180 and look up. From where the ceiling fell you can see a code: 660.
At first, we thought maybe the game would toy with us just a bit more and we needed to input the code upside-down, as in 099, but nope! 660 is the code you’re seeking. Align the correct numbers with the arrows on the padlock and you’re in.
Let this approach be a tutorial for you while you move about the cruiseliner uncovering another dark and twisted mystery in Layers of Fear 2. Oftentimes you’ll just need to see the world from a different perspective.
