The Damned Walkthrough

Prerequisites

Collect Instructions to Sybil, The 16 Punishments of the Sailor, and Warning for Sybil while clearing the Fish Market. Connect the records in the Investigation Space. Reach the Cutting Area after using the Handwheel to stop the steam.

Solution

At the wooden numbered lock, select:

I → IV → IX → XVI

These are Roman-numeral positions from the punishment list. They are four buttons, not the decimal number 14916 and not the nearby Locker Room safe code.

Outcome and failure states

Open Salt Storage and finish the local interaction. This records The Damned investigation. If the wooden lock is not ready, check that the three evidence records are collected and connected. If 1496 is on your mind, you are mixing this lock with the separate Locker Room safe.

Return to the Fish Market puzzle guide for the surrounding Handwheel, Leyden Jar, and memory-safe route.
