Chapter Two of No Sleep for Kaname Date
In this part of the game, time is running out. Ota is trying to rescue Iris from a large box in the hot spring area. Toward the end of the puzzle section, it’s revealed that the box is a Kotoribako, a dangerous box that only needs the right code to trigger a deadly ritual.
Ota and Date must work together to solve the Seal of Death puzzle on the outside of the Kotoribako once Iris passes out inside. You will need to interpret the clues and use a note about breaking curses to find the right solution.
Memento Appraisal System Solution
After unlocking the lockers using your color-coded light, you can interact with the Memento Appraisal System on the far side of the box where Iris is. First, inflate the air mattress to create a platform, then enter the code shown earlier to access the drawers marked with a circle, square, and triangle.
You are given a newspaper clipping about missing girls. Your task is to pair two items in each of the three drawers, using clues from the article to figure out what happened to each girl.
The girls are linked to different stories: one was taken from basketball practice, another disappeared with a baby, and there is a third story marked as XX. Match these stories with the items by following the order in the newspaper. The correct pairs are:
- Circle drawer: Workout Shorts and Taped Finger Model
- Triangle drawer: Umbilical Cord and Ring Finger Model
- Square drawer: Magatama Necklace and Basic Finger Model
When you open these drawers, you’ll move on to the numbers puzzle, which continues your progress through the second chapter.
Seal of Death Code Solution
After discovering that the dangerous box, or Kotoribako, could kill Iris according to local legends, you need to revisit the locker puzzle. Iris’s note before passing out shows a black square on the grid, indicating you should investigate the fifth locker in the second row from the top on the right side by the second down.
This opens a numerical panel showing a code needed to open the Kotoribako, but since your goal is to save Iris, you must use the Curse Breaking Note to find a different path. You will need to understand the symbol on the scroll hanging above the number pad. This symbol involves a square, pentagon, and diamond, known as the Seal of Death.
The solution involves finding the numbers enclosed by this symbol. To do this, flip open Ota’s Uncurse Note, which contains the key information. The numbers you need are framed inside shapes that form a triangle around the main numbers, which are the ones used to perform the deadly ritual.
The numbers to enter, to stop the ritual and save Iris, are one, five, and three. These are found by identifying the shape symbols around the numbers on the map of the hot spring room, which help frame the solution.
Finding the Numbers
On the map, the bathhouse is labeled with numbers inside different shapes, such as squares, pentagons, and diamonds. The note instructs Ota to enter the numbers in the sequence closest to the sun, which is indicated in the bottom-left corner of the map on the back of the note.
The key is to recognize that the numbers inside the shapes of the Seal of Death correspond to the ones listed on the scroll used in the ritual. The puzzle requires creative thinking: find the three numbers framed by the shapes that make up the Seal of Death symbol.
Once you align the shapes and numbers properly, you’ll see that the code to unlock the Kotoribako and prevent Iris’s death is 1, 5, 3.
