Welcome to Elderfield: Dave House Code 43681
Open the locked candle door in Dave the cat's house. Get the Cryptic Note from Sam, find the missing digit, and enter the 5-digit code.
Goal: Open the locked door in Dave's house. The door is in the back of Dave the cat's house, with candles and wax all around it. The code is 43681.
1How to Get the Code
- 1Talk to Sam every single day.
Keep doing it until she gives you the Cryptic Note. Players report this is just persistence. No special gift or quest trigger required beyond regular conversation.
- 2Read the Cryptic Note.
It contains the partial sequence 43.81 (sometimes written 43_81). The missing digit is the third one, not the last.
- 1Go to Dave's house and interact with the wax-smeared door that has the keypad.
- 2Enter 43681.
If you want to find it yourself, try 43181 through 43981 in order. 6 is the one that works. Community members confirmed they just brute-forced the single missing digit.
Key Decision Points
- ?Sam has not given the note yet.
Keep talking to her every day. That is the only reliable method players have shared. No shortcut exists.
- ?The code does not work.
Double-check you are on the candle and wax door in Dave's house, and that you typed five digits: 4-3-6-8-1.
Common Mistakes
- Assuming the missing number is the fifth digit instead of the third. The note shows 43_81, and the blank is in position 3.
- Stopping conversations with Sam too early. The note only appears after enough daily interactions.
- Trying codes based on dates (like the 27th of a month) instead of using the note's partial sequence.
