What is the code for the red lock box?

The red lock box requires a four-digit code. It has an engraving that acts as your only clue. The engraving says, “For now I know you fear God. You have not refused me your son, you only son.” If you search for this quote, you’ll quickly get a result telling you that it’s from Genesis 22:12. Since there are four numbers in this chapter, it makes sense that they would be the code. Type 2212 into the combination lock, and you’ll unlock the red lock box.

Inside the red lock box, you’ll find some shards on which Caleb recorded messages for his son. Naturally, Lucas wants nothing to do with them, but you can do what you wish. Your decision will inform your next case, so it’s a decision you need to take time to consider.
