Vampire: The Masquerade - Swansong is filled with hidden items and lore, much of which is hidden or secured behind password locks. Early on in the game, Emem can find a locked safe in the Archives (which themselves are initially locked) which contains a valuable item. Accessing this safe requires a hidden code, and this guide will explain how players can find it.
Vampire: The Masquerade - Swansong is a narrative RPG developed by Big Bad Wolf and Published by Nacon. Set in the World of Darkness, Swansong follows the story of three vampires dwelling in Boston, working to stay on the good side of the local prince and uncover the truth behind a massacre at a party organized by the Camarilla. Players must develop the skills of Galeb, Emem, and Leysha in order to overcome the obstacles that lie ahead and avoid final death.
How to Access the Archives
In order to access the archives where the safe is located, Emem requires the keycard. The keycard in question can be found in one of the offices opposite the door to the archives. Specifically, it is found in the office of Lazarus Sheridan, on the cabinet to the right of the door. With this keycard in hand, players should head back to the archives, where they'll be able to find some interesting documents.
How to Find the Safe Code
After accessing the archives, the safe code can be found on a note inside a drawer on the left-hand side of the room. The easiest way to locate this note is to track the scent of Journey's Perfume using Auspex Vision, as her trail leads right to the section of the archives where this drawer is found. After reading the code from the drawer (9138), players simply need to enter it into the safe to crack it open.
What's in the Safe?
Inside the safe players can find club business cards, a consumable item that restores three dots of Emem's willpower. Given that willpower is needed to perform skill checks in conversation and focus skills for an improved chance of success, gathering items that restore willpower is a very important part of the game. There are two club business card items available in the first area of the game, with the other being found on one of the countertops in Journey's office.
Vampire: The Masquerade - Swansong is available now for PS4, PS5, PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch.
