Layers of Fear: ‘Shattered Thoughts’ safe combination

The Shattered Thoughts safe in Layers of Fear.

This Layers of Fear guide details the ‘Shattered Thoughts’ safe combination during The Painter’s story.

Layers of Fear is described by Bloober Team as the definitive way to experience the psychological horror series. The first two instalments have been rebuilt using Unreal Engine 5, and this latest game features an additional story to complete the series’ narrative.

The game’s separate stories each tell of mentally disturbed artists – The Painter, The Actor, and The Writer. Player’s are briefly introduced to The Writer before diving into The Painter’s terrifying tale.

He is attempting to complete his masterpiece as his mind crumbles into insanity. You must explore his mansion in search of the supplies needed to finish his painting.

But, along the way, you encounter numerous puzzles that stop you in your tracks. One of these is the ‘Shattered Thoughts’ safe. Players will find this in the wall with the words “Shattered Thoughts” written nearby. You must open the safe to progress — but what is its combination and how do you get it?
