This Layers of Fear guide details the door padlock combinations as The Painter.

The new Layers of Fear is arguably the definitive way of experience the acclaimed horror series. It blends the stories of the first two Layers of Fear games, all DLC, and a new story about The Writer. It presents these terrifying tales from a fresh perspective, rebuilt and reimagined in Unreal Engine 5.

As The Painter, your sole objective is to complete the character’s magnum opus. He is haunted by memories of his family, particularly his wife who was badly disfigured in a fire.

While you explore The Painter’s ever-changing mansion, his wife (or a monstrous version of her) appears and pursues you. This sometimes happens at the most inconvenient times — namely when you’re trying to solve a puzzle.

During one of Layers of Fear‘s puzzle segments, you must find padlock combinations to unlock two doors as The Painter while his wife’s ghost stalks you.

While attempting to solve the second combination, The Painter’s wife will appear and chase you. You can use your lantern to kill her, however this is only temporary. She will respawn and resume her pursuit.

Like the first combination, the second combination can be found by collecting scraps of paper found near the locked door.
