Help With Vault Door Lock (Episode 3)

[angelwolfchild]

Normally I don't look for help or walkthroughs until I start achievement hunting but this puzzle is bringing me to a grinding halt (I think I spent half an hour just trying to turn keys). I have thoroughly checked the mansion and it's surrounding area and found no notes or symbols or anything that could possibly act as a clue as to what order the keys are supposed to turn. I have all the keys and I understand what I'm meant to do, but there's no consistency to which key turns affect which part of the lock so every time I get close it messes up at the last minute. If anyone can point me in the right direction or if I'm missing something blindingly obvious (which would not be the first time that happened with this series) then I'd appreciate any tips I can get, especially as the story is tearing at my heart and I don't want that feeling to be ruined by frustration over one puzzle.

Hi there, each key makes a movement on the locks. You ever heard of the "two steps forward one step back"? If you can figure out which key moves how many steps in which way you'll be a lot closer to craking the vault.

Hey angel, did you manage to pass the vault?

[angelwolfchild]

Hi, yes I did get past it. Thank you so much for the help, honestly I still don't quite understand which key does what but I got through it and hopefully it won't take so long on my second playthrough (that 12 move achievement is going to be a pain, I just know it).

I have now completed Episode 3 and I just wanted to take the time to thank you for such an amazing experience, Bear With Me is one of my favourite games of all time and this finale did everything I hoped for and more. I'm still recovering emotionally from everything that happened, but it was worth every moment. Yes I'm sad it's all over, and I really didn't want you two to go the way you did, yet I think seeing the conclusion play out really affirmed what made me fall in love with this story in the first place. I'll still have fun getting all the remaining achievements and it'll be great to replay from the beginning knowing what I do now.

Each and every person on the team should be very proud of themselves and all the work they put into Bear With Me, I adored Episode 3 and I'm definitely going to keep an eye out for the next game from you guys.

Long live the King, Long live the Bear, and Long live Paper City.

@angelwolfchild We're so glad you liked the game and thank you so much for all the praise :) Ted and Amber's journey may have ended but there's always a possibility of them returning in the future for other adventures. In any case stay tuned for more BWM updates or to check out our other projects in the future. :)

@iafonin86 Thank you for the walkthrough, it looks awesome and it should help future players if they get stuck. Great job. :)

Thanks for the tip. Very helpful!

@lastbreath No problem at all, hopefully it helped. :)

Do the locks eventually reset, or am I stuck with whatever order I clicked them from 20 minutes ago?

[The Reef King]

MrFreight, unfortunately for now you have to load the "auto-save" (it's in the same room, right after King *khm, khm, goes to sleep* :)) But we're working on a reset option that's will be in the patch on Thursday.
