Dracula 3: The Path of the Dragon Hints

Open the strongbox.

  • 1 of 9: You'll get this objective while working on the "Question Irina Boczow on all topics ... linked to my investigation" objective.
  • 2 of 9: Click on the strongbox to get a close-up of its combination lock mechanism.
  • 3 of 9: As with the combination padlock in the dispensary, you can change the setting of a digit (or letter, in this case) by clicking and holding on it while moving the mouse up or down.
  • 4 of 9: Try moving a letter along for awhile. Notice that you can hear all the clicks very clearly.
  • 5 of 9: If you rotate a letter around long enough, you'll hear a different sort of click on one particular setting.
  • 6 of 9: For instance, on the leftmost letter, you'll hear the different click when it's set to M.
  • 7 of 9: Since there are no other clues as to what the strongbox's combo is, that must be how you figure it out.
  • 8 of 9: Keep rotating all the letters until you find the right settings, or read on for the answer.
  • 9 of 9: You need to set the lock to M-D-C-C-C-X-X. When you do, the strongbox will immediately open.
