Problem Finding Alternate Sources of Art Dealer's Safe Code.

[76561198174560274]

I read somewhere that the code to Bunting's safe could be found ---

1. By finding a note with the safe combination on it
2. By torturing Art Dealer Bunting in the Golden Cat in the silver room
3. Can be found on various crates in the room.

So, here's my problem:
1. I can't find a "note" anywhere in Bunting's apartment, assuming it's there.
2. When torturing Bunting, he gives me the key to his apartment but not the safe code.
3. The crates in Bunting's apt have Roman numerals on them but no safe code. In decimal, the numbers are 8 and 12. No combination of those numbers gives a valid code. (I have the full list.)

And, now my questions:
1. Where's that #f*u%c*k^i&n)g*(_) note?
2. What did (or didn't) I do that Bunting would only give me the key?
3. What numbers, what crates in what room and in what building?

As far as I know, Bunting is the only source of his safe code. If you've already talked to Slackjaw, you will have the option to ask for it when torturing Bunting. I've never tried torturing Bunting without talking to Slackjaw first.

[Nihil0.0]

have you done Slackjaws quest prior to arriving at the Golden Cat?
That quest leads to getting the combination.
If you have, then it may be a glitch.
Also there is a civilian woman that needs rescued from gaurds, she will give you the estate key.

That's what I thought, too. That is, until I tried to get it from him in the Silver Room. I had picked up from where I left off the day before and got this scenerio, so I can't say for sure if I talked to Slackjaw or not. The point is, where else can you find the code, should you run into this situation? Most codes have either very obvious clues or have somewhere else you can find it. The only source I found that has a reference to this is ---

AFAIK the player must torture Bunting for the safe code.
Bunting's house key is given to the player if he/she rescues a civ in trouble with the Watch.
Good luck finding Bunting's safe code laying a box some place.

If you torure Bunting before talking to Slackjaw, Bunting will confess he has nothing and give you his house key. NOT the safe code.

That's a preeetty good question! If there's no other place to get the code, then what happens if you go back to Slackjaw to make the deal for the Non-lethal solution, which is the ONLY way to get the non-lethal solution. I just went through a few iterations of this situation and the one I can reproduce the most is ...

- Before I talk to Slackjaw, I go to the Golden Cat/Silver Room and torture Bunting. He gives me the key to his apt but not the code to his safe. I don't give him the death jolt, and leave him there p'ing his pants, but still alive.
- I go to his apt and take out all four thugs and ransack the place. I find no notes or crates that reveal the code, so I leave.
- I bump into the thug that tells me Slackjaw want to talk. I talk to him for the first time here. He offers to take care of the Pendleton's if I get him the code. I can then go back to Bunting and jolt him once more and he gives me the code.

I *have* had the OP's situation, though it was quite a while back, where Bunting wouldn't give me the code and Slackjaw wouldn't talk to me at all. I was stuck. I do recall searching high and low for some clue to get the code but, never found one. Not in Bunting's apartment, anyway. :/

Allways use the wikia
"If electrocuted after saying the assigned safe word, he becomes furious. If he is electrocuted again, he realizes that Corvo is not his assigned courtesan, and asks what he wants. Bunting will then freely reveal the combination to his safe."
This should help you if not let us know :]

I appreciate you trying to help but, maybe read the op a little more thoroughly. I think you're jumpin' the gun by telling me the usual way to get the code but, that's not what I was asking. Try reading it again and if you know where else a code can be found, if anywhere, please let me know. That's all I'm asking. Thanks anyway, tho.

But, don't always believe what you read, there. Several errors and incorrect data that make it a less than reliable source.

Yes I did see that, but I also linked you to the wikia. It does have more or less everything you need in there of in-game. http://dishonored.wikia.com/wiki/Safe_Combinations Also if you are looking for another way to get the info, is it not more fun to play and try? "/

Yeah, I know it's not all correct, but overall from what I have seen it is mostly correct and things like safe codes etc I have checked a few and those have atleast been true.

You're still missing my point. First of all, I'm very familiar with the wikia and other supposedly reliable sites, thank you anyway. Secondly, I'm not asking how to get the code to the safe. I know full well how to get the code, the normal way.

What I AM saying is, I got stuck in this situation where Bunting gave me the key to his apartment. Not the code to his safe. This is NOT a normal situation. I was looking for an alternate method of finding the code. So, THAT'S what I'm asking...(here comes the important part) --- Can the code be found on a note or a crate somewhere?

Thanks again for trying to help but, I'm WAY beyond what you're telling me. However, I'm beginning to think my question can't be answered.

@ Paragon of Evil
I scanned through some of the sources I use and have found nothing more than you did. I fear you may not get an answer to your question. Unless margotbean can look in her copy of the Brady guide? [shines Bat Signal in the sky]

[margotbean]

Ha ha! Signal received... do I get my own theme music now? <Na na na na na na na na Margotbean!> :P

The Brady Guide says "Only the Art Dealer has the combination [to the safe]." So, there you go, no one else has it, and if you haven't visited Slackjaw, you're out of luck. So sorry! (Edit: Except you already visited several wiki sites, so you know all possible combinations anyway...)

As for the note, I think people are confusing the Art Dealer with Dr. Galvani. Their buildings are across the street from each other, both have a safe, and Slackjaw sends you into both. But only Dr. Galvani has a note with a hint about the safe combination.

As for the crates - it's funny, people playing the Talos Principle say the same thing. "There are numbers on the boxes/crates, do they mean anything?" In that case, apparently they are the stock resource numbers used by the Serious Engine. Maybe the Unreal Engine (which Dishonored uses) has the same kind of thing.

[76561198174560274]

Thanks for the info. I'll just start the level over. But, isn't it weird that there isn't some other way to get the code? I guess the orcz site got the Galvani/Bunting thing confused. I remember the note for Galvani's safe. Well, another boat ride with Samuel.
