Getting the Counting House Vault Code in Baldur’s Gate 3

After reaching the locked door of the vault, you will notice that there are four lights located above the door. There will also be a plaque right in front which will ask you to make your way to the Head Banker’s Office in order to obtain the passcode.

There are two ways you can go about obtaining the code:

• Fight your way through all the guards and then reach the safe where the code is located.
• Use a rogue, preferably Astarion in the party to sneak past them, get the code and make your way back.

The Head Banker’s Office is on the second floor and is one of the most well-guarded areas in the Counting House. Irrespective of how you have gotten the code, make your way back to the locked vault to put it in.

Make sure you ungroup so that the rest of your party members don’t start accidentally pressing the buttons they should not be.

You will need to press the buttons in the following sequence:

• Upper left button
• Upper right button
• Middle button
• Middle right button

Make sure you are prepared before making your way into the unlocked vault, as it will automatically trigger an encounter where a lot of your enemies are capable of turning invisible.
