How to Solve All Password and Padlock Combinations in Lost Records: Bloom and Rage
As of now, Lost Records: Bloom and Rage features three lock-related puzzles within Tape 1. Should additional puzzles emerge in Tape 2, set to release in April 2025, this guide will be updated accordingly.
Remember, if you miss solving a puzzle early on, you can revisit it using the Scene Selection menu. Additionally, utilize Collectible Mode to collect missed items without disrupting your story progression.
Corey and Dylan Lovelock in Scene 10 (Lights, Camera, Action!)
In Scene 10 of Tape 1, titled 'Lights, Camera, Action!', you'll encounter the first padlock puzzle. After completing the Forest Girls Memoir, navigate through the park by squeezing between two large boulders. You'll then pass a wire fence adorned with love locks, one of which belongs to Corey and Dylan.
To unlock their lock as a playful act, you'll need a four-digit code. The clue to this code isn't available until Scene 24. In Scene 24, search Corey’s Bag on his bike in the parking lot. Inside, you'll find a Polaroid photo with a caption revealing Corey and Dylan’s anniversary date: August 27, 1994. This date translates to the padlock code 0827.
Use the Scene Selection Menu and Collectible Mode to return to Scene 10, input the code 0827 at the fence, and unlock the 'Heartbreak' achievement/trophy.
Cabin Padlock in Scene 13 (Cabin in the Woods)
In Scene 13 of Tape 1, 'Cabin in the Woods', you'll face the second padlock puzzle. After discovering a mysterious cabin, you need to solve the padlock on the front door to progress.
Start by examining the Old Sheet on a wooden beam behind you, which provides visual hints for the lock's four dials. The first dial is already solved, so focus on the remaining three.
For the second symbol, head to the kitchen area and pull the rope handle to access the attic. Once inside, turn around to see a crescent moon symbol on the far wall.
For the third symbol, inspect the can furthest to the left on the stove, covered in spider webs. Flip it over to reveal a leaf symbol on the bottom.
For the fourth symbol, examine the bear trap on the back wall. When it snaps shut, it reveals a star symbol etched on the wood behind it.
Return to the front door and input the symbols in order: crescent moon, leaf, and star. This will unlock the door, allowing the story to continue.
Blue Spruce Bar Gate Padlock in Scene 24 (Riot Grrrls)
The final padlock puzzle appears in Scene 24 of Tape 1, 'Riot Grrrls'. As the girls prepare for their concert at Blue Spruce Bar, they need to find a power source. Follow Autumn and Kat to the gate on the left side of the parking lot, which is secured by a padlock requiring a sequence of cardinal directions.
To find the solution, go to Corey’s bike in front of the bar and check the bag. Inside, you'll find a Pager with a slip of paper under the clip. Flip the paper over to reveal a sequence of arrows, which is the code for the lock.
Return to the gate and input the sequence of arrows to unlock it. This grants access to the bar's employee area, where you can find essential items like the Extension Cord, Power Outlet, and the Breaker Panel puzzle to restore power.
