Wofford Cottage

Talk to Covington. Look at the desk in the middle of the room and flip the power switch - only 2 of the vacuum tables come to life. Back out and go through the door into the next room. Examine the game table in the middle of the room. You need to get the marble to reach the end zone in the bottom right, and control the path by adjusting the switches on the right. The solution depends on the puzzle difficulty level you have selected:

• Medium: Flip 1, 3, 5, then flip 3, 4, 5.

Continue upstairs and enter the bedroom. Examine the antique cash register on the desk to the right.

• Medium: The password is "scorpio", from the middle of Magnotta's personnel file.
• Hard: The password is "cigar", a reference to the cigar box on Magnotta's desk.
