Remothered: Red Nun's Legacy safe code guide

What Is the Safe Code?

The Remothered: Red Nun's Legacy safe code is 73 → 31 → 52, and the safe is hidden behind a painting in the Room of Wonders. Opening it gives you the Ashmann Family Ring, the item needed to unlock the villa’s front door. This Remothered: Red Nun's Legacy safe code guide covers the combination, the painting’s location, and the film-reel puzzle that leads you there.

If you already have the safe open in front of you, enter those three numbers in that order. If you are still searching the library, you need a different room: the projector provides the clue, but the safe itself is elsewhere.

Spoiler scope: This walkthrough covers the safe puzzle and its immediate reward without revealing what happens after you leave the villa.

The route below follows Thumb Wars’ walkthrough of the front-door puzzle. For official game information, the Xbox listing for Remothered: Red Nun’s Legacy describes how retrocognition reveals memories and supports exploration—an ability central to this puzzle chain.

Where to Find the Safe in the Room of Wonders

Knowing the Remothered: Red Nun's Legacy safe code solves only part of the problem. You also need to uncover the safe, and searching the office or the library will not reveal it.

Go to the Room of Wonders. From the entrance, move straight ahead toward a small table holding a trophy. Use Retrocognition there to hear a conversation between Stefano and his father about money and the safe’s hiding place.

The memory points toward the father’s favorite painting. Look for the artwork showing a pyramid with birds crossing the scene.

Find the correct painting

The painting is to your left as you enter the room. If you turn around and face the doorway you used, it will instead be on your right.

That perspective change is worth remembering. “Left of the entrance” can be confusing when you are already standing inside and looking back toward the door. Identify the pyramid and birds first, then inspect its frame.

Reveal the hidden compartment

Follow these steps at the painting:

1. Interact with the artwork.
2. Move your view toward the right-hand side of the frame.
3. Find the interaction prompt there.
4. Use the prompt to move the painting aside.
5. Interact with the exposed safe and enter 73 → 31 → 52.

If the painting appears to do nothing, adjust your view toward the frame rather than repeatedly selecting the center of the image. The important interaction is on its right-hand edge.

There is no need to keep searching nearby furniture once you have identified this painting. The puzzle’s final interaction is concealed in the frame, not in another desk or cabinet.

How to Find the Film Reel and Learn the Combination

The in-game route to the Remothered: Red Nun's Legacy safe code begins with the library projector. Following it explains where the numbers come from and leads you through the office-access puzzle.

Before starting this sequence, you should have completed the earlier steps that unlock Retrocognition:

• Solve the music box puzzle.
• Obtain the dove medal.
• Use the medal to open the metronome in the foyer.
• Complete the associated puzzle to gain Retrocognition.

These are the prerequisites for following the memory clues described below. Knowing the combination does not, by itself, establish whether every earlier progression trigger can be skipped.

Inspect the projector and nearby note

Find the projector on a table on the ground floor of the library. A nearby note connects the missing film reel to the safe combination.

The projector needs its reel before it can show you the clue. Your next objective is therefore to enter the office, not to search the library for the safe.

To the right of the projector, look for a set of double doors with a missing handle. This is the office entrance.

Use the painting beside the office

Inspect the painting to the right of the office doors and use Retrocognition. The resulting memory reveals where the missing doorknob was hidden.

Your destination is the bathhouse, on the left-hand side of the villa near the area where you first entered. Look for a large mosaic showing four women bathing at a waterfall.

The memory describes these figures as nymphs and explains how to open the concealed compartment.

Knock three times on the mosaic

At the bathhouse mosaic, knock three times to reveal the compartment containing the office doorknob.

Be ready for danger afterward: a Novice drops through the ceiling and begins pursuing you as you head back. Treat collecting the handle as a moment to prepare for movement, not an invitation to stop and review every clue.

Once you can return safely, take the doorknob back to the office doors and open the room.

Collect and play the reel

Inside the office, check the desk for the film reel. Take it back to the library projector and play it.

The reel begins with disturbing imagery, but the useful puzzle images appear as it continues. Watch for these three scenes:

• A bird and flowers.
• Moths and a torch.
• Fish and lily pads.

These images provide the safe-combination clue. The resulting Remothered: Red Nun's Legacy safe code is 73 → 31 → 52.

The available walkthrough establishes the combination but does not spell out the precise counting logic for each individual object. Rather than assign unsupported counts to the pictures, use the confirmed sequence if you cannot confidently interpret the projected images.

What to Do After Opening the Safe

The main reward for entering the Remothered: Red Nun's Legacy safe code is the Ashmann Family Ring. Its prominent A helps distinguish it from an ordinary decorative object.

Collect the ring before leaving the Room of Wonders. Simply opening the safe is not the end of the task; you need the item inside to continue toward the front door.

Return to the foyer and use the ring to unlock the villa’s front entrance.

Be cautious on the return trip. The walkthrough reports increasingly aggressive Novices who can obstruct your route. Avoid assuming that retracing familiar rooms will be as straightforward as your earlier exploration.

A practical approach is to:

• Confirm that you collected the ring before backtracking.
• Check the route ahead rather than rushing directly into an enemy.
• Sneak around Novices where possible.
• Focus on reaching the foyer instead of making unnecessary detours.

The reward is a progression item, not money or an optional collectible. If your immediate objective is to open the front door, the ring is what makes this entire puzzle chain necessary.

Common Safe Puzzle Problems and Fixes

Most obstacles in this sequence involve the wrong room, an overlooked interaction point, or an unfinished earlier puzzle. Before spending time trying alternative combinations, check where you are in the route.

If you are checking the Remothered: Red Nun's Legacy safe code again, keep the sequence grouped as 73, then 31, then 52. Those are the three numbers supplied by the walkthrough; it does not specify an additional left-right dial-turning pattern.

Likewise, the available reference does not establish alternate combinations by difficulty, platform, or playthrough. Avoid troubleshooting with an invented variant when the more likely issue is the location or interaction you have not completed.
