In Chapter 4, open the Salt Storage door in the Arkham Fish Market’s Cutting Area with I, IV, IX, XVI. Then enter the room and destroy the green, crystallized body. Opening the door alone does not unlock The Damned.
Where to find the Salt Storage lock
In Chapter 4, head to the Arkham Fish Market and locate the Salt Storage door in the Cutting Area. The nearby Locker Room safe is a different puzzle: its code is 1496, not the Roman-numeral selection for The Damned.

How to solve the clue
- Find The 16 Punishments of the Sailor, described by walkthroughs as a board in the pub on the Fish Market’s second floor.
- Read Instructions to Sybil near the stairs leading toward Ma Fishface. The note identifies four punishments: confinement to the ship, being deprived of beer, being tarred and feathered, and being keelhauled.
- Match those punishments to entries 1, 4, 9, and 16 on the list. At the Salt Storage door, select I, IV, IX, and XVI, then validate the combination. The selections can be entered in any order.
A separate note, Warning for Sybil, is in the Jewelry Workshop. It points to square numbers—1, 4, 9, and 16—but is optional if you have already matched the punishments to the list. Some guides spell the name “Sibil”; follow the spelling shown on your in-game clue if you refer to it.

What to do after opening the door
Go into Salt Storage and destroy the green, crystallized body. Guides describe stomping, kicking, using a melee attack, or shooting it; the essential step is to break the body. That action completes the investigation and triggers The Damned. The achievement wording is “Investigate the sixteen punishments.”

- Stopping at the open door: enter Salt Storage and destroy the body to finish the investigation.
- Entering a decimal code: the lock uses Roman numerals. Select I, IV, IX, and XVI, corresponding to 1, 4, 9, and 16.
- Using the nearby safe code: 1496 belongs to the Locker Room safe, not the Salt Storage lock.
- Searching by floor number alone: walkthroughs differ in how they describe the clue’s placement. Use the pub and Cutting Area locations as your navigation anchors.
