Exploring the eerie and supernatural world of Alan Wake 2 can be quite challenging, especially with puzzles hidden in its haunting settings. One of these puzzles comes up early in Alan Wake 2: The Lake House DLC, where you need to unlock an elevator to move the story forward. You’ll have to find a keycard and solve a password riddle to access it. It might seem tricky at first, but with the right tips, you’ll be riding the elevator down to the next level in no time. In this guide, we’ll take you through the steps to unlock the elevator, including how to solve the computer password and where to find the keycard. This way, you can keep your investigation going smoothly.
Elevator Keycard Location in Alan Wake 2 The Lake House
You need a keycard with the right clearance to use the elevator in Alan Wake 2: The Lake House, go into the big office near to the elevator. You’ll need to access Dr. Jules Mormon’s Computer there, and you’ll find clues for its six-digit password scattered throughout the room.
The Printed Notice at Dr. Jules Mormon’s Computer
To crack the code for Dr. Jules Mormon’s Computer. Look at the paper in the left of the computer. It’s a printed notice from the company suggesting that everyone should change their password every day. They suggest starting with a fixed set of numbers and then adding digits that you change daily.
The Calender
Next, it suggests using important personal dates, but not birthdays or the current date. However, don’t overlook the calendar entirely, because the science fact of the day refers to the number 38, which you’ll need for the end of the password.
To get the first four digits of the password, step away from the desk and head over to the bookshelf. You’ll find three items to check out, but the most important one is the letter in the bottom right corner that mentions the facility’s completion date: July 18. In number form, that’s 0718. So, when you put the whole password together, it’s 071838.
The Elevator Keycard
Once you unlock the computer, you can use its security system to open the door. Exit the office and go to the other side of the room where the door was locked. Now that it’s open, go inside and pick up the elevator keycard. With that sorted, you’re ready to explore the rest of the Lake House.
