Dying Light 2 First Biomarker safe code riddle solution

The First Biomarker quest is one of the early game missions in Dying Light 2 which is given to you by McGregor in Houndfield.

The first biomarker is supposedly a device that can reveal to people if they will turn into the Infected or if they are safe, but apparently, it also has some desirable side effects that will come in handy during your parkour adventures through the city.

The aforementioned NPC, McGregor, claims that he invented this powerful device, but the problem is that he needs someone to bring it back to him, as it is located in Saint Joseph Hospital, which is not exactly the safest place in the city.

That's where you and your parkour prowess jump in, as we are going to help him. Coming and entering Saint Joseph Hospital will not be a particularly complicated task, but what has many people confused are the three riddles from Dr Katsumi's note, which hide a solution for the safe cod in the hospital.

What is the First Biomarker safe code solution?

In order to find out what is the answer for the First Biomarker safe code riddle in Dying Light 2, we will need to solve all three riddles from Dr Katsumi's note.

Each riddle will give you one digit for the code (for a three-digit code) in the same order they are presented in the note.

So, let's see the answers.

• Riddle #1 -"What becomes smaller when you turn it upside down?"

The correct answer here is nine (9) because when you flip it over it becomes the number six (6).

• Riddle #2 - "An odd number, take away a letter and it becomes even."

The digit we are looking for is an odd number (can't be divided by two and get an integer), but there's a bit of misdirection here because many would assume that by removing a letter, we would get a new number that is even (can be divided by two and get an integer).

But this is actually just play-on-words, and the answer is seven (7), because when we remove "s" what remains is the word "even".

• Riddle #3 - "A little girl goes to the store and buys one dozen eggs. As she is going home, all but three eggs break. How many eggs are left unbroken?"

This one is the easiest one, the sheer straightforwardness of it might confuse some players and make them overthink the puzzle. But nope, the answer is simple, and it is already given in the riddle - "all but three eggs break" - which means that the final digit is three (3)

So there you have it, the safe code for the First Biomarker quest in Dying Light 2 is 973.

Now all that has left is to go into a safe room in Saint Joseph Hospital, crack the safe by entering the 973 code, and collect the Biomarker.

Now head back to McGregor, hand him over the Biomarker, and he will give you the following rewards:

• Collectable Confidential Note to GRE Personnel
• Inhibitor

And that's it, you have completed the First Biomarker quest!
