To acquire the Keystone of Rage in Hell Is Us, players must head to the Ministry of Cultural Primacy located in Lethe and interact with Marton Ralst. However, there’s a catch: Ralst has passed away. Thus, players will have to decipher several environmental clues to gain access to his computer and retrieve essential items from his safe. As is typical in Hell Is Us, this endeavor involves a fair amount of puzzle-solving by examining the surroundings and connecting the dots. If you’re seeking assistance, this guide will help you uncover Ralst’s PC password and the combination to his safe, allowing you to progress in your journey.
How to Discover Marton Ralst’s PC Password in Hell Is Us
Upon entering the Ministry of Cultural Primacy, you’ll discover the area has been torn apart, with many staff members dead, including Marton Ralst. His body can be found in his office, with his computer sitting behind him, locked with a password. As you traverse the office space, converse with the various characters to gather more information. Don’t forget to examine the inscriptions on the paintings; they contain crucial information for unlocking Ralst’s PC and his safe combination. Below are the relevant findings:
- Brohm Aster was born and lived until the age of 79: 714 AD
- Twins were born to Lord Brohm Aster: 754 AD
- Brohm Aster’s coronation at age 59: 773 AD
- Assassination of King Brohm Aster concluding a 20-year reign: 793 AD
At some point, you’ll encounter a woman named Maeve trapped in a room. To help her escape, you must defeat a monster positioned across the corridor from the room’s entrance.
To accomplish this, you can either employ ranged attacks using your weaponry or drop down to explore lower level offices to find a staircase leading up to the opposite side of the first floor. Regardless of your choice, remember to collect the Shards after defeating the enemy as they are needed for upgrading your gear.
Investigate the lower levels of the offices to discover two additional important clues to assist with the puzzles in this area.
If you venture down, you will find Marton Ralst’s wallet, which contains a hint regarding his computer password: the year of Brohm Aster’s coronation. From the paintings on the upper floor, we know this occurred in 773. Head back to Ralst’s computer and input 773 to gain access, revealing files related to an excavation, as well as how to unlock his safe.
Additionally, on the first floor, you will encounter a fifth and final painting of Aster, depicting the initiation of the Bridal War, which began in 770 AD and lasted for three years. Make sure to note these numbers alongside the others.
How to Unlock Marton Ralst’s Safe
In the reception area of the Ministry of Cultural Primacy, the computer provides a clue that Ralst has made a modification to the radio in the corner, relating to frequency 60 FM. Approach the radio and rotate the dial to 60. Ensure it is set to FM mode instead of AM, and you should hear a sliding mechanism as the portrait on your left shifts aside, revealing Ralst’s safe.
If you encounter issues with the radio recognizing the 60 FM frequency, try adjusting the dial back and forth and toggling the AM/FM switch until it registers correctly.
Marton Ralst Safe Combination in Hell Is Us
Finally, it’s time to open Ralst’s safe. A note on his computer indicates that the combination is derived from significant elements mentioned in the captions of the paintings, with the dates determining their sequence.
Additionally, a note labeled «New Portrait» on his computer indicates that the Bridal War was Brohm Aster’s undeniable achievement and should replace his coronation year in the combination. If you’ve followed this guide, you already have the necessary details from the paintings, so the task now is to deduce the correct combination.
If you’ve interacted with Maeve since her return, she may inform you that Ralst mentioned something about time reversing when accessing the safe. This serves as another clue indicating that the combination should be input in reverse chronological order of the events depicted in Brohm’s life as presented in the paintings.
With all of this information combined, arrange the details in reverse: Brohm’s tenure ended after 20 years, the Bridal War lasted 3 years, he had 2 children, and lived until the age of 79. Enter the combination 203279 into Marton Ralst’s safe to unlock it and claim the ‘Iron Seal – Rising.’
Securing the Iron Seal allows you to travel to Auriga Museum, but it’s advisable to visit Jeljin first, where you will find another Iron Seal needed for entry. A comprehensive guide on the best order to collect the Keystones in Hell Is Us is also available should you require further assistance.
