The short answer
To solve the Scale the Depths Point Nemo puzzle, inspect all three visual clues, record each mark with the order you found it, then return to the door and enter the matching switch choices in that same order. Community examples show one run, not a universal code.
If the door stays closed, verify all three notes, their order, and whether each input registered before trying again. This method avoids conflicting coordinates and fixed combinations that have not been verified for every save.
How the Point Nemo door puzzle works
The Scale the Depths Point Nemo puzzle is an observation task: inspect three clue signs, then use their information at a nearby three-switch door. Record each mark and its order in the current run. A single sign is not the full answer.
Community walkthroughs agree on the three-clue structure, but their locations and sample orders are not consistent enough to publish as a guaranteed route. Use a video to recognize the interaction, then verify every marking in your own game.
A sample sequence is useful only for understanding the interaction. Your own three clues are the authority for the switches in your save.
Before you leave the door
Record the clue and when you found it. This prevents a correct set of observations from becoming a wrong sequence.
- Keep a note ready. Write the clue and its discovery order, or capture a screenshot.
- Find all three first. Wait to use the switches until you have checked the full set.
- Do not guess. Revisit a hard-to-read sign instead of borrowing an old code.
- Use the map only for context. The screenshot above shows the region, not clue coordinates.
Read and record all three clues
Inspect the three visual markers associated with the door. Read the mark or position each one communicates and note it before moving on. Do not turn an unclear symbol into a guessed switch order.
Label notes by discovery order: first, second, and third. Keep each sign's mark attached to its label, especially if the route crosses caves or landmarks. If a sign is difficult to read, return to it before entering a sequence.
The illustration is conceptual. It shows observe, record, apply, and check; it is not a game screenshot and does not reveal a fixed combination.
| What you inspect | What to record | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| First visual clue | Its exact mark or highlighted position | Keep it labeled as the first clue you found. |
| Second visual clue | Its exact mark or highlighted position | Do not swap it with a clue found nearby. |
| Third visual clue | Its exact mark or highlighted position | Confirm you have three distinct entries before returning. |
The table is a note-taking framework, not a list of the game's answers. Avoid treating a guide's sample symbol sequence as a universal code.
Apply your evidence at the door
Return to the door with all three observations written down. Transfer them in order and pause to confirm each input.
- Review your notesRead the marks from first clue found to third. Revisit any unclear sign.
- Match marks to choicesUse the relationship shown in your game; do not assume a left, middle, or right mapping.
- Enter them in orderApply the first, second, and third choices with a pause between inputs.
- Check the responseLook for a confirmation or barrier change. If closed, compare the order and marks.
Avoid random combinations. They make it harder to identify a missing clue, a recording error, or an input that did not register.

This player-made video shows one Point Nemo run. Pause to compare its signs with yours before choosing switches.
Community footage is an example, not an official answer key. The creator notes that the combination is unique to the player's run.
Point Nemo puzzle troubleshooting
The door stays closed
Check the discovery order and every recorded mark. A swapped pair can invalidate the sequence.
I found only two clues
Do not guess the third. Retrace nearby paths and follow signs in your game; published location descriptions differ.
I forgot which clue came first
Revisit the signs and rebuild your notes in discovery order. Make sure screenshots belong to the same run.
My friend's sequence fails
Use your own clues. Another save's example is not a universal code.
A switch may not have registered
Enter one choice at a time and watch for a response. In a browser, check that the game has focus.
A video shows different locations
Treat it as one route example. Search the area and verify the signs you can see.
I do not know whether a wrong try reset it
Inspect the displayed state and current clues. Do not assume reset behavior from an older guide.
After the door opens
Wait for the opening animation to finish and confirm the passage is clear before swimming through.
If you are collecting an item, search the accessible space and check your progress record before leaving. Community descriptions of the exact pickup position were not consistent enough to repeat as a verified location.
- Confirm that the barrier is visibly open.
- Explore the accessible space rather than turning back immediately.
- Check your in-game collection or progress record before ending the dive.
- Keep the puzzle notes only if you expect to repeat the route on another save.
What is verified, and what is not
The reviewed community guides and video agree on three clues and three switches, but they are not developer documentation. Their exact locations and example patterns are inconsistent.
This page therefore avoids coordinates, a universal button order, and guaranteed reset behavior. Read the clues in your active run and check the door after each deliberate input.
