The safe code for the lost cat in Stray is something you’ll come across as you explore The Slums. You’ll find an abandoned lockbox in a trash-filled alleyway. Attached to this safe is a mysterious code keypad. While it might seem helpful, you’ll quickly realize that neither B-12 nor the local residents can figure out the code, so you’ll need to find someone who can.
To make things easier, I’ve put together a step-by-step guide on how to read the code and unlock the safe. Remember, each step is separate, so if you want to skip ahead and just open the safe right away, you can do that. After entering the safe code, the mysterious code item will disappear from your inventory—it’s no longer needed.
Where to Find the Safe in The Slums
Once you arrive in The Slums and speak with the Guardian, go to the garage full of meditating robots. Turn left and go down the stairs. Pass by Morusque, the musician, and look for an alley to the left of a sewer entrance shutter. The safe with the code is attached to a unit there. When you examine the mysterious code item, it says “follows the numbers” and displays a binary sequence that looks undecipherable. Don’t forget to check the vending machine opposite this alley for energy drinks—they’re useful for collecting items later.
Getting the Code Deciphered
Show the mysterious code item to any robot nearby, and they’ll tell you it’s an old binary code that only a tech expert can understand. Just like the Stray notebooks, you’ll need to find a particular person who knows how to read it.
How to Read the Safe’s Mysterious Code in Stray
The person who can decode the safe’s code is inside a building called Elliot Programming. You can identify it by the binary signs around The Slums or a sign with binary strings on it. To get in, knock on the door by interacting with it. After a short “knock,” you’ll be allowed inside. Meet Elliot upstairs and show him the code item. He’ll decode it quickly as “DUFER BAR.” If he looks nervous or shaken, try giving him the Stray Poncho first.
How to Get the Safe’s Actual Code
With the decoded password, head to the bar with the glowing red sign straight ahead when you exit Elliot Programming through the window. Inside, find the neon “DUFER BAR” and interact with the picture hanging above the bar. It will fall, revealing the safe code: 1283. While you’re there, pick up one of the Stray Memories by scanning the food bowl on the top of the stairs.
Now, return to the device in the alleyway and enter the safe code: 1283. Doing so will unlock the safe, and you’ll get one of the eight Stray Sheet Music locations. Hand this over to Morusque, and he’ll perform another song. Plus, you’ll get closer to collecting all the Badges in Stray by adding the music pin to your collection.
