How to get the Indiana Jones cellar box code near the post office

The Indiana Jones cellar crate code can be a confusing lockbox stash to open. Mainly because the combination is very easy to miss if you don't realise there's a barely mentioned mechanic you need to use to get it. The code is actually in the room with you in the Great Circle though, just as long as you know where to check. Here's what you need to do if you want to get that cellar lockbox open.

The Indiana Jones cellar lockbox is found down some stairs, just around the corner from the Vatican post office. You'll probably discover it as part of the Savage Discovery quest when you're sent looking for the stone tablet in the same room. That will get you the cellar key you need to get into the basement, where you'll find the crate with lock. There's also an inscription here you can photograph for Father Antonio in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.

However, there's no obvious code, note or other information in the room initially to help you get the stash open. You'll only get the code when you pick up the missing tablet - that will start a cut scene that ends in Indy being attacked by a guard. The Indiana Jones Cellar box code is on the guard's body once you defeat him, although it is very easy to miss if you don't think to look at the body when he's down on the floor.

Pick up the Lockbox note from the guard and you'll find it says the code is 'November last year'. With the game taking place in 1937 that gives us 1936 and 11 for the month. Although much like the Indiana Jones ticket stub code or the Secret of Secrets safe code you'll have numbers but no indication of what order they go in. It's basically what you probably think though, and the Indiana Jones cellar lockbox code is 1136.

Open it up the crate and inside you'll find a new Indiana Jones book called Street Scrapper 1, which will increase your damage with melee weapons. If you already have the camera at this point don't forget to photograph the inscription while you're there.
