Anyone getting anywhere on this one? I'm having trouble with the combo lock on the chest.

Haven't got the chest open either. Don't know which numbers too choose. Went on without opening the chest and now I have lost because I hadn't enough keys.
Will try again because this is a nice game.
Found help on EG24 for the chest. Never would have gotten it myself.
Read the diary and look at the ropes with knots. Count them from right to left.

2 7, 3 5, 1 5

Use those numbers on the lock

2 full rotations clockwise then stop on 27, 1 full rotation counterclockwise then stop on 35, then clockwise untill you are at 15, then stop and click/drag down in the middle of the lock

Yay, this time I won
