How to solve the Kalevala Workshop door lock combination

During the Return 3 – Local Girl chapter in Alan Wake 2, Saga’s missions naturally take her to the Kalevala Workshop to the west of Coffee World. When you enter the Workshop, take a right to enter the office and you’ll find a locked door on the left. The door has a combination lock but, rather than numbers, the three-digit code is made up of symbols.

To find the code, you need to head back into the main section of the workshop. Go out of the door of the office and you should be looking at a big haybale float, move around the left of the float until you’re facing the direction of the office door (but with the float in the way). Take out your torch, if you don’t have it out already, and shine it over the right-hand side of the float.

If you shine your torch on the area shown in the image above, you will see two symbols. Now, I need to come clean here, I couldn’t for the life of me find that third symbol. I don’t know if it’s somewhere in the workshop or not but I used the two symbols and some trial and error to get the combination and its order. If you find it, you’re a smarter person than I am.

The combination is the hourglass-looking symbol, the symbol of two downwards-pointing triangles overlapping vertically, then the hourglass symbol tilting to the right. You can see the combination below.

Once you’ve entered the correct combination, the door will open, letting you progress the story and check out the break room that’s inside. I won’t spoil what exactly you’ll find in there.
