Location: Eastern part of South Vale

The first important plot-related puzzle you'll find is in Neely's Bar, which is on the corner of Neely Street and Sanders Street. Enter the premises and remove the cover from the jukebox. It's located in the far right part of the bar. You'll get half of a broken vinyl record. Take the note from the bar counter, which lists the missing parts. The necessary locations will appear on the map.

Head southwest from Neely's Bar to the Saul Street Apartment Complex. Enter through the red door next to room 16. Inside, just past the office, there will be a map which we recommend examining. You need to get to the ninth room on the third floor. To the left, there will be a cabinet that can be moved. This way, you will enter the office where you will find the key to the apartment complex and a small note.

Exit the office and go up to the second floor. Turn right. Before the seventh room, there is a small crawl space on the floor. Use it to take the note from the window. Crawl back and go to room five. Open the door with the key. There you will see a gap in the wall. Then wake up through the second and exit through the window onto the stairs. Climb up. Enter the room through the window and go into the bathroom. Reach into the hole in the wall. Do this two more times until the main character finds the jukebox button. Now you can leave the apartment complex through the open roof on the left. Go down the stairs.

Head north on Neely Street until you reach Groovy Music. The store is on the left side of the street. Enter and kill two enemies. Take the note from the counter. Break the glass along the back wall to gain access to another room. There, on the table in the middle, you will find glue and the second half of the vinyl record. Now you have all three necessary parts to create the item. Open the inventory and combine both halves of the record with the glue.

The last item we need for this puzzle is located in the Texas Cafe. It is on the east side of Katz Street. Once inside, take the healing potion from the refrigerator behind the bar counter. Interact with the cash register. Turn the key and press the button down to get the coin. After this, an enemy will attack you. Kill it and return to Neely's bar.

Interact with the machine after collecting all the items. Start by lowering the blue gear so that the combined green and red gears can move and accept the glued record. At this point, the stack of vinyl will rise to the top part of the jukebox. Select the missing button and insert it. Then insert the coin into the blinking slot. Choose the blue C button on the top panel. Then 2 on the bottom panel. The record you selected will start playing, and you will receive a key.
