Dishonored 2 Safe Codes [October 2026]

Dishonored 2 safe codes are not redeemable promo codes, because Dishonored 2 has no code redemption system. They are the in-game safe combinations you dial on strongboxes and locked doors, and each one unlocks loot like runes, silver ingots, bonecharms, and raw whalebone. Almost every combination is randomized per playthrough, so the only reliable way to open a safe is to find its clue in the same mission, written on notes and books, hidden behind paintings, or circled on calendars. This guide lists the two fixed combinations and tells you exactly where to look for every randomized clue.

Understanding Dishonored 2’s Safe System

Unlike many games where safe codes are static, Dishonored 2 employs dynamic combinations for most of its locked containers. This clever design choice by Arkane Studios forces players to engage with the environment, read notes, and solve environmental puzzles. It transforms a simple act of looting into a rewarding investigative process. The only exceptions are a few story-critical or joke safes, which have fixed codes. For everything else, you must find the clue in the world. The game never leaves you without a hint; the solution is always nearby, waiting for an observant eye.

Complete List Of Dishonored 2 Safe Codes And Where To Find Each Clue

The following table lists every safe and combination-locked door in Dishonored 2, organized by the story mission in which they appear. For randomized safes, the “Code or Clue Location” column tells you precisely where to find your unique combination.

Mission	Safe / Lock Location	Code or Clue Location	Notable Loot Inside
A Long Day in Dunwall	Dr. Galvani’s Safe (Laboratory)	Fixed Code: 451. Found on the wall behind the painting “The Obtuse Arguments of Lady Boyle”.	Silver Ingots, Pistol.
Edge of the World	Overseer Outpost Safe (3rd Floor)	Randomized. Find the Strictures to Keep You Safe note in the adjacent music box room. Match the three strictures listed to their numbers in The Seven Strictures book beside the safe.	Rune, Silver Ingots, Raw Whalebone.
Edge of the World	Winslow Safe Store Competition Safe	Fixed Code: 123. This is the display safe in the Winslow Safe Company shop in Edge of the World (Mission 2); the combination is fixed and advertised on the demonstration model.	Bonecharm, Silver & Gold Ingots, Pistol.
The Good Doctor	Safe overlooking Addermire Institute Lobby	Randomized. The code is written on a note on a desk or table inside the same dilapidated room as the safe.	Combat Sleep Dart Blueprint, Silver Ingot.
The Good Doctor	Dr. Vasco’s Office Safe	Randomized. Speak to the injured Dr. Vasco in the treatment wing, or find the note on his person if he is already dead.	Vasco’s Journal, Lab Key (crucial for non-lethal path).
The Clockwork Mansion	Correy Brockburn’s Safe (Alley Office)	Randomized. Two numbers are written on a nearby chalkboard. You must guess the third digit by spinning the dial until it opens.	Silver Ingots, Lucky Sphalerite.
The Royal Conservatory	Safe in the Infested Lecture Hall	Randomized. Purchase the note with the code from the Black Market shopkeeper for 250 coins. You can also break in and steal it.	Five Silver Ingots, Silver Dust, Pistol.
A Crack in the Slab	Furnace Room Safe (Stilton Manor)	Fixed Action. In the past, place the dead wolfhound in the furnace and burn it. In the cleaned-up present, the safe door will be ajar with the code visible. Use this code on the intact safe in the past.	Black Bonecharm, Silver Ingot.
A Crack in the Slab	Stilton’s Study Door	Randomized (2nd digit is 7). Find Aramis Stilton’s notebook in the gazebo in the past timeline.	Progresses the story.
The Grand Palace	Carlos Marletto’s Safe (Seized Apartment)	Randomized. Look for this playthrough’s clue inside the apartment, such as the silvergraph photograph on the wall.	Gold Ingot, Silver Ingot, Pistol.
The Grand Palace	First Captain’s Safe (Barracks)	Randomized. Locate the note containing the new combination in the Duke’s Private Office on the third floor of the palace.	Gold Ingot, Silver Ingots, Rune.
Death to the Empress	Dr. Galvani’s Safe (Revisited)	Fixed Code: 451. The same code from the first mission remains, written on the empty picture frame. Beware of the trap.	Coins and an angry note.

Additional Locked Doors & Puzzles

Dust District Black Market Door: The first digit is 4. Find a note about a wedding month, then check the calendar on the wall to find the circled date (e.g., Month of Rain 13 = 413).
The Jindosh Lock (Dust District, Mission 6): This famous logic puzzle door has no numeric code. Solve the in-game five women riddle using the wall calendar, since the correct solution is randomized per playthrough.

How To Open Safes In Dishonored 2

Once you have your Dishonored 2 safe code combination, follow these steps to claim your loot.

Approach the safe and press the interact button (typically “F” on PC) to zoom in on the dials.
Turn the outer dial to set the first number of the combination. You will hear a subtle click when it’s correctly aligned.
Move to the middle dial and repeat the process for the second number.
Finally, set the third number on the inner dial. If all three are correct, the safe will unlock automatically.
Press the interact button again to open the safe door and collect all the contents inside.

The process for locked doors in Dishonored 2, like the one for the Black Market, is identical. Simply interact with the lock and input the numbers you found.

FAQs

Where is the safe combination for the Overseer Outpost in Mission 2?

The combination is randomized. Find the Strictures to Keep You Safe note on a desk in the room with two Overseers and a music box. Then, match the three strictures mentioned to their numbered list in The Seven Strictures book located on a crate right next to the safe itself.

Are any Dishonored 2 safe codes the same for all players?

Yes, but only two. Dr. Galvani’s safe uses 451 in both Mission 1 and Mission 9 (written on the empty picture frame after you take the painting), and the Winslow Safe Company display safe in Mission 2 uses 123. The furnace room safe in Stilton Manor is action-based rather than number-based, and every other combination is randomized per playthrough.

I found some code online, but it didn’t work. Why?

This is the most common issue players face. You almost certainly found a code from a randomized safe. Dishonored 2 generates a unique three-digit combination for these safes each time you start a new game or mission. You must find the in-game clue, like a note or book, that contains your version of the code.

What is the most valuable item found in a safe?

While silver and gold ingots are excellent for cash, the most valuable finds are Runes and Bonecharms. These permanently enhance your supernatural abilities or provide unique gameplay effects. Specifically, the Overseer Outpost safe in the Edge of the World mission always contains a Rune, making it a high-priority target.

Can I brute-force a safe if I can’t find the clue?

Technically, yes, but it is extremely time-consuming. With 1,000 possible combinations (000-999), brute-forcing is not a practical strategy. The game is designed so that the clue is always logically placed in the immediate area. Investing time in exploration is always faster than random guessing.
