Shadows Over Loathing – Longerfellow’s Padlock Combinations

Spoilers Ahead!

Padlock Combinations

There are two padlocks that uses both the same date (january 4th 1845), but uses two different formats.

The first one is “maritime plus” (YY-DM-DM but reversed so: MD-MD-YY), roughtly translated into: “530014” (this is the solution for the first padlock).

The second one is trickier, because it calls in others date formats + other 2 date entries. in the end: the solution is always the same date from before (january 4th 1845), but it uses one of the new formats, named “paddle accademy standard” (DY-MD-YM), roughtly translated into: “040154” (this is the solution for the toilets’s padlock).

UPD:

There’s a mistake in the toilet padlock puzzle. The correct date is January 4th, 1845, which should give us “040451” using the paddle academy standard (DY-MD-YM).

The issue is in how the game handles the middle numbers (MD part):

  • What it should be: XX-04-XX (04 for the day)
  • What the game wants: XX-01-XX (01 for the month)

So even though “040451” is technically correct, you need to use “040154” to open the padlock in the game.

Bottom line: Use “040154” to progress, but know that this isn’t the right answer according to the puzzle’s own rules.

I turned my love for games from a hobby into a job back in 2005, since then working on various gaming / entertainment websites. But in 2016 I finally created my first website about video games – Gameplay Tips. And exactly 4 years later, Game Cheat Codes was created – my second website dedicated to legal game cheats. My experience with games started back in 1994 with the Metal Mutant game on ZX Spectrum computer. And since then, I’ve been playing on anything from consoles, to mobile devices.
