In this CRACK guide, I explain how to unlock both endings, find the chicken inside the egg, and open the Redacted Room. I also cover how to find the blacklight, solve the keypad code, and use the computers and sound analyser to discover more about the game’s lore.
How I Unlock All Endings in CRACK
Ending 1
For the first ending, I make my way to the centre of the egg, where I find a black obsidian-looking layer. Once I reach this layer, I only use Dynamite MK III to break through it, as every other extraction tool, including the jackhammer, will not work.
Once I broken through the containment plating, I find a large fleshy sac in the middle. I use the chainsaw to break it open, and a chicken will fly out of the egg. I catch the chicken, pick it up, and take it to the large door that opens once I have the chicken.
I take the chicken to the chicken coop and put it inside. After that, I take the cooked chicken and put it in the box. Congratulations, I have now completed ending 1.
Ending 2
For the second ending, I use the hammer to remove the nails from the wooden boards covering the Do Not Enter door in the break room extension.
Once I removed the wooden planks, I open the door and use the chainsaw to dig through the dirt and the jackhammer to break through the rock.
After that, I go back to the centre of the egg and get the chicken. I take it to the door at the top of the stairs in the Do Not Enter room, drop it right in front of the door, and wait a few seconds.
I now have ending 2.
Important: The chicken needs to be alive for this ending. Cooked chicken will not work.
How I open the Redacted Room
To open the Redacted Room, I first look around the ceiling of the facility until I find a vent. I use the toolbox to build scaffolding up to the vent, then use the hammer to remove all the screws.
Inside the vent, I collect the blacklight. It is very dark inside, so I may need to bring a lantern to see properly.
I then look around the facility for smudges on the walls. These can be found in various rooms and on the outside of some rooms. I use the blacklight on these smudges to reveal hidden writing.
Some of the writing contains parts of the code for the Redacted Room’s keypad. For example, I find something like _1_4_. I need to find all the numbers and put them together in the correct order, so I recommend writing down each number as I find it.
Once I have the complete code, I enter it into the keypad and open the Redacted Room.
Inside, I find four computers:
- Far left computer: I trigger events by typing commands into the terminal. I type
helpto see the list of available commands. - Far right computer: I play Brick Breaker.
- Close left computer: I access information about past crews, which provides more lore about the game.
- Close right computer: I can’t remember exactly what this one does, but I believe it is similar to the others.
I also find the sound analyser in this room. When I point it towards the egg, it will occasionally display translations of the sounds coming from it. These translations mostly contribute to the lore of the game.
