Brookhaven Hospital Director’s Office Symbol Safe Combination

First, arrange the books on the Director’s Office Shelf in the Storage Room so that they form a visible pattern of a whole lion when viewed from the right angle.

Pay attention to the symbols located on the underside of each book’s spine. These symbols are matched with numbers engraved on the bookstand base, so make sure to check them.

Collect the Safe Button from here and return to the safe in the Director’s Office.

To start inputting the code, activate the ‘Safe Button’. The sequence you’ll need is identical to the one from the Bracelet Puzzle we encountered earlier: 9 (symbol), 2, 4, 5, 7, and 1. However, this time, input the symbols instead of the digits.

Toluca Prison Generator Puzzle

The goal is to flip the switches such that all remain in the ‘on’ position.

As I navigate through this process, I’ve learned that toggling certain switches may lead to others turning ‘off’. It seems like I’m dealing with a chain reaction, so I guess I’ll just have to experiment and learn by trial and error.

Once all the switches are in position, flip the lever as well.

Toluca Prison Scales Puzzle

Moving weights onto each of the two balances will cause a figure representing an animal to appear on the pointer, thereby opening the associated door.

Try out various methods until every lock is opened, then find a balanced state to claim the Execution Handle.
