Completing the Kummetz Cipher puzzle in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle

Also termed the Captain's Cipher, this puzzle is found while Indy makes his way into the Officer's Lounge area of the Kummetz ship. When you reach the area, Indy will remark that apart from a few dead Nazis, there seems to be no one hostile in the area. If you are simply looking for the door code, you can scroll to end of the article.

Head to the table and examine the clipboard. Some words will be scribbled out, but the word "JÖGM" will be intact. Remember this, and explore the area further. Atop a nearby table, you will stumble across a cipher, and scattered on the floor around it and near it will be some code wheels.

Pick up each code wheel and examine them carefully. You will notice that there are a certain set of letters on them. Notice that each wheel will contain exactly one instance of the required letters. One wheel will have J, one will have Ö, and similarly for the letters G and M.

One by one, carefully pick up the wheel with the letter J and place it in the first slot, the wheel with the letter Ö in the second slot, and similarly, the wheels with letters G in the third slot and M in the fourth slot. Close the lid, and move the wheels to have the letters "JÖGM" in a line. Underneath, make note of the term "BLUT."

Near the cipher, there is a code table, but it doesn't correlate to either term. Instead, turn around, and on the table with the frozen soldiers will be another code table, which mentions "BLUT" correlating with the code 3666.

Head to the keypad and enter the code 3666 to open the door. The door unlocks, and you can now proceed forth.
