The alchemy boxes take nine clicks in this order:

right, right, right, left, right, left, right, right, left

Enter it exactly. There is no partial credit and no feedback until the ninth click lands.

Day 3, during Assisting in Alchemy, in the same stretch as the cabinet code 6294.

You will need it twice

Like the attic chest stars, this sequence comes back in the post-credits route for "You've found him!" — it is step four of nine. Record it now rather than replaying Day 3 to read it again.

The full set of values that route needs:

Full route on the "You've found him!" page.

Other Day 3 interactions in the same room

Animal Testing. You are asked to test the elixir. Give it to the parrot.

Seasoning to Taste. Kill the fly near the cake with the knife, then drop it into the soup.

Checking the Furniture. In the servants' room, click the table leg the cat is hiding behind — there is a compartment with a note. (This page said the kitchen table until 16 August; two later sources place it in the servants' room.)
