Alone in the Dark 4: The New Nightmare Hints

What code should I enter on the panel behind that door?

  • 1 of 13: First, if you haven't found it, notice the panel on the far wall of the closet that's behind the door -- this is where you enter the code.
  • 2 of 13: The code is written down for you somewhere -- look around to see if you can't find it.
  • 3 of 13: Specifically, try looking far away.
  • 4 of 13: Far, as in, something you might need a telescope to see.
  • 5 of 13: There's a telescope in this closet.  All you have to do is figure out exactly where to look from.
  • 6 of 13: Maybe you should wait until you find something that's too far to see with the naked eye.
  • 7 of 13: Start by going to the top of this room and climbing up the ladder onto the roof.
  • 8 of 13: Walk until you reach a small tower, go into the tower via the ladder, and look around.
  • 9 of 13: You can barely see the island's fort through the window on the far side of the room from the ladder.
  • 10 of 13: Use the telescope on the mount, and look through the telescope.
  • 11 of 13: Look towards the upper right and start with the lower zoom level, since you can't move very far in the higher zoom for some reason.
  • 12 of 13: After you zoom back in, you should be able to make out a number above a window with bars in it.
  • 13 of 13: That number is 1692.  Flip those switches (1, 6, 9, and 2) on the panel, and you'll unlock a painting in the lobby.
