Cronos: The New Dawn Walkthrough - Key Codes and Locations

Old Key

The Old Key is one of the first items to pick up in the game. It opens the door blocking the way through the apartment complex right at the start of the adventure. To find it, simply search the room to the left of the closed door, right after discovering the note titled "Dangerous Games".

Storage Room Code

The code to access the storage room is 3-6-7. You'll discover this code by listening to the audio log "Advent Progress" found in the adjoining room.

Shop Key

The key to the Shop is found directly along the main path and simply cannot be missed. The audio log "Strategic Advice" must be listened to in order to retrieve the key.

Traveler's Seal Key – Finding the Predecessor

The first Traveler's Seal Key is found in an optional room, after obtaining your first Torch Fuel canister. Once you have the fuel, burn the black biomass nearby to obtain this key, which unlocks the circular lock in the previous room, granting access to an area with several premium resources.

Hardware Store Key

To retrieve the Hardware Store key, you'll need to explore the upper floors of the Sector D-3 Housing Project. Since the elevator isn't working, take the stairs to the highest accessible level. After that, move the locker to access unit 29, then eliminate the enemies present to retrieve this key.

Second Traveler's Seal Key – Secure Room

The second Traveler's Seal Key unlocks the circular lock in the secure room on the first floor of the Sector D-3 Housing Complex. After retrieving the Bolt Cutters, return to the start of the area facing the apartment complex. You need to break the chains on the door to discover a Cat there, who will hand you this key.

Apartment Safe Combination

As for the safe combination in Edward Wisniewski's apartment, it's "811". This combination is written on a birthday party photo of young Angela, located nearby on the floor.

Shelter Key

To obtain the Shelter Key, you'll need to explore the apartment complex located to the right of Edward's shelter. Follow the cat to the entrance, then defeat the Orphans in the basement to find the key to unit 94.

Steelworks Hall B Access Code

The code for the Hall B door is 3-6-4. To get it, you need to go through the loading area to the right of the Hall B keypad door. By crossing it, you enter through the "military personnel only" door, which leads you to the floor where a note containing the Hall B code you're looking for can be found.
