Invokyr Henry's Key: Vault Location (071476)

Last updated:

Quick Answer

Henry's Key is on the statue pedestal inside the manor vault behind the dining-room fireplace. The hidden lock wants 071476, Henry's birthdate, pieced together from a birthday note and a letter that dates his age. The key then opens the north locked door behind the green arched door in the Collection Room.

Henry’s Key: The Short Answer

Henry’s Key is in the manor vault behind the dining-room fireplace, sitting on the statue pedestal in the middle of the room. The hidden lock that opens the way wants 071476 — Henry’s birthdate as MM-DD-YY, not the day alone.

Two things people get wrong first:

  • It is not a random furniture spawn. You are not hunting a key lying on a nightstand. You are solving one lock in the dining room, then walking into a vault.
  • 071476 is not the safe code. The attic safe takes 091387. This is a different lock, in a different room, and mixing them up is the single most common failure. Compare them on the safe code page.

The Gold Shirt Red Herring: Why Spending Score On It Fails

A persistent community rumor suggests that purchasing the Gold Shirt from the dedicated shop is required to appease the Money Man or gain entry to Henry’s quarters. The Gold Shirt is an absolute red herring:

  • Pure Cosmetic / Score Sink: Purchasing the Gold Shirt in the shop simply consumes match score; it does not trigger any door interactions, dialogue, or puzzle flags in the manor.
  • The Clue Means an In-Run Idol: The house rule note stating “no toys on the table” refers strictly to carrying any discovered golden idol to the Money Man’s table setting.
  • Do Not Waste Score: Save your hard-earned run score for genuine upgrades and gadgets. Bring an in-run idol to the dining plate instead of buying shop outfits.

The room that hides the lock (The “Dinner Code”)

You are looking for a large dining room with a portrait of the Money Man on the wall — and his hat resting on a chair. That is the marker. A lore note sits on a cabinet in the same room detailing family rules (often referred to in community threads as the “dinner code” or dining room puzzle).

The note outlines the house rules: dinner at six, wash your hands, help set the table, no toys at the table. The last rule is the mechanic:

“Place a ‘toy’ on the table at the Money Man’s place - the toy being referenced is any idol, and this will reveal a hidden combination lock in the room.”

So:

  1. Find the dining room with the portrait and the hat.
  2. Hold any idol.
  3. Place it at the Money Man’s place setting.
  4. A combination lock appears in the room.

The “toy” is any idol, not a specific relic. That is what makes this puzzle solvable early if you happen to be carrying one.

Building the code: 071476

The code is Henry’s birthdate, and the manor hands you the pieces in two notes.

The birthday note — a bedroom note reading, in effect, “July 14 is your birthday! Happy birthday, Henry!” That gives month 07, day 14.

The year is the part players miss. It is not written as a year anywhere obvious; it is inferred from an age. A letter establishes that Henry was two years old in December 1978, which puts his birth year at 1976.

PieceSourceValue
MonthBirthday note (July 14)07
DayBirthday note (July 14)14
YearAge reference: two years old in December 197876
CombinedMM-DD-YY071476

A doctor’s note found in the same lore chain corroborates the timeline — it records an examination dated December 1, 1979 and describes the patient as having “regained the respiratory function expected of a two-year-old child”, consistent with a 1976 birth.

What happens when you enter the code

Entering 071476 opens the fireplace across from the painting, revealing a secret passage. Follow it down.

At the bottom is the manor vault. The vault contains:

  • A pile of gold
  • Idols
  • Henry’s bedroom key, on the statue pedestal in the middle of the room

Take the key off the pedestal. That is the entire reward chain — the gold is score, the idols are run resources, and the key is the actual objective.

The door it opens

Henry’s Key opens the north locked door halfway down the story corridor, behind the green arched door in the Collection Room. Behind that door is Henry’s Room.

Critical sequencing detail: you need the corridor key first. “You need the corridor key from the hub safe (091387) to reach that corridor.” In practice:

  1. Reach the corridor with the Corridor Key — from the attic safe
  2. Then unlock the north door with Henry’s Key

If you are standing at a corridor door with Henry’s Key in hand and nothing happens, check which door you are at. The corridor has several doors; only one is interactable and locked.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is Henry’s Key in Invokyr?

On the statue pedestal in the middle of the manor vault, which sits behind the dining-room fireplace after you enter the code 071476.

Does the Gold Shirt unlock Henry’s bedroom?

No. The Gold Shirt from the shop is a cosmetic red herring. It does not trigger any door mechanisms. The real unlock requires placing an in-run golden idol on the Money Man’s dining plate.

What is the code to open Henry’s vault?

071476 — July 14, 1976 as MM-DD-YY, built from the birthday note and an age reference placing Henry’s birth in 1976.

Is Henry’s key a random spawn?

No. It is a fixed pickup on the statue pedestal inside the vault. If you are sweeping furniture for it, you are looking for the wrong thing.

What does Henry’s Key open?

The north locked door halfway down the story corridor, behind the green arched door in the Collection Room. That door leads into Henry’s Room.

Can I get Henry’s Key without the Corridor Key?

You can solve the 071476 vault and hold the key without it — but you cannot reach the corridor door it opens until you have the corridor key from the attic safe.

Does placing any idol work for the dining-room lock?

Yes. The lore note says the “toy” is any idol. No specific relic is required, which is why the puzzle is doable early in a run.

Is 071476 the safe code too?

No. The safe code is 091387. 071476 is the dining-room vault lock; 091387 is the attic safe. They are separate puzzles with separate containers.
