The Backpack is a padlocked container encountered during the "A Clued Awakening" section of Escape Academy 2 [src-0dc02cf791]. Located at the back of the Classroom, it requires solving a grid-based coordinate puzzle to open and rewards the player with a vital quest item [src-0dc02cf791].

How to Complete

To unlock the backpack, players must trace a path across the classroom desks using a sequence of XY coordinates and directional clues [src-0dc02cf791]. The initial hint is located directly underneath the backpack itself, reading "Start at X2 Y2" [src-0dc02cf791]. By following the letters and movement instructions found on each desk, you will spell out the four-letter combination required to open the padlock [src-0dc02cf791].
