On “Standard” puzzle difficulty, from this note you can see that:

  • The note tells you what the first number is.
  • The second number is the amount of pills in the sink.
  • The third number is the number that you rotate the clock hand to and which loudly summons many enemies, located just outside the north side of M2.
  • The fourth number indicates the number of times the M3’s light flickers before turning off and starting flashing again.

So the combination lock code for the Chained Box is 1622. This is the same code if you’re playing on “Hard” difficulty, but the Calendar page may contain more obscure clues.

Once you have the code, return to the Chained box and enter it on the combination lock on the left side of the puzzle.
