Red Lantern Club: How do I solve the puzzle with the six numbers?

  • 1 of 16: When Victoria enters the Red Lantern Club, she is in a large room with what is apparently a doorway at the top of the screen.  Upon investigating that doorway, you will find a saying on the left door, and a set of six buttons on the right door, numbered 1 to 6.
  • 2 of 16: Experiment with the buttons.  What happens when they are pressed?
  • 3 of 16: Each one responds to a press, until six buttons have been pressed (regardless of the order).  At that point, either the red or green light at the top of the door will flash.
  • 4 of 16: This door evidently requires a six-digit code to open.  When the correct code is entered, the green light will light, and the door will unlock.
  • 5 of 16: How can we determine the proper "code" to open this door?
  • 6 of 16: It would seem that the saying on the left door would be a clue.
  • 7 of 16: The door says "In my memoirs you shall find the instrument of my suffering with which we celebrate our vows."
  • 8 of 16: Have you looked around the other rooms of the Red Lantern Club yet?
  • 9 of 16: All of the clues necessary for obtaining the code for the puzzle door can be found nearby.
  • 10 of 16: After discovering the various art objects located in the adjacent rooms, perhaps there is some correlation between the art objects and the phrases in the saying on the door.
  • 11 of 16: "In my memoirs..." -- sounds like a memory... or a "Reminder".
  • 12 of 16: "...you shall find the instrument of my suffering..." -- not much worse suffering than what those various daggers and other weapons could inflict.
  • 13 of 16: "...with which we celebrate our vows." -- obviously a wedding.  Perhaps a "Dark Wedding."
  • 14 of 16: Linking these three art objects with their pairs of numbers (see What is the significance of the art objects on the walls? for details), we have:

           Reminder - 4, 2
           Dagger - 3, 6
           Dark Wedding - 1, 5
  • 15 of 16: At the puzzle door, click on the numbers in the above order.(4, 2, 3, 6, 1, 5).
  • 16 of 16: The door opens into a secret room.
