Gain Access to Room 202

The door to Room 202, labelled on the map as M on Door, is initially locked. To open the room, players need to reattach the Minute Hand to the Grandfather Clock in Room 212, and have it point to 2 on the clock face.

Once the correct time for the Minute Hand is set, Room 202 will be unlocked, and the actual puzzle will become available. The Moth Room is filled with moths, and moth displays, hence its given name.

Examine All of the Moth Displays

Moth Displays in Room 202

Upon examining all of the moth displays, symbols, such as an eye, a skull, and a moon can be seen on each of the moth's wings. The number of symbols on the moths are the clues to solving the combination lock puzzle.

It is recommended to write down the number of symbols that can be found on each Moth to avoid going back to examine each moth over and over again. In total, there are 5 eyes, 8 moons, and 2 skulls.

Break the Weak Wall to Access a Hidden Area

There is a breakable wall in the room that will lead to another area, wherein one moth display is hidden behind a cabinet that players can push out of the way. Be sure to factor in this display when solving the puzzle!

Solve for the Combination Lock Code

To solve for the code of the combination lock, plug in the previously obtained numbers to their respective symbols on the writings pointing at the lock. Note that the writings get more complex with higher Puzzle Difficulties.

The codes for each difficulty, from the top ring to the bottom, are as follows: 5-8-2 for Light Difficulty, 3-7-3 for Standard, and 5-2-2 for Hard.
