The investigation into the murder of Dead World Safi in Life Is Strange: Double Exposure ultimately brings Detective Alderman to Dead World Moses’ lab. In a moment of urgency, he sends out an S.O.S signal, prompting Max to rush to assist him.
While Alderman is out of earshot, Moses reveals to you that he secretly took Safi’s camera from the crime scene and hid it within his lab. Just as he’s about to disclose its location, Alderman returns. Now, you must devise a plan to stealthily enter the lab and retrieve the camera before Moses faces charges for Safi’s murder.
First, you need to find a way into the lab. Since Alderman is present in Dead World, you can’t enter there just yet—this requires a shift to the Living World. Look for a shift point near the janitor’s cart around the corner.
In the Living World, step into the lab and engage with Living World Moses, who’s busy working on a telescope. To progress the conversation, ask if he has any hidden contraband.
Moses will mention an electric kettle he has stashed away. Suddenly, the telescope wobbles, and while he’s holding it up, he requests that you fetch an Allen wrench to stabilize it before revealing where he keeps things in his office.
To find the Allen wrench, shift back to Dead World through the shift point in the lab’s corner, grab it from the table in the center of the room, and return to the Living World to hand it to Moses.
Once he repairs the telescope, he will direct you to a locked cabinet near his desk where he stores his "forbidden kettle."
As he becomes preoccupied with his computer work, take the key he left sitting on the shelf, then shift back to Dead World to unlock the cabinet.
Sadly, when you check, the camera isn’t inside, but you do stumble upon a note reading "Under ‘Safe.’"
While exploring Moses’ lab in either timeline, you can examine and interact with several items to gain insight into his character, including a polaroid collectible located on Carla’s desk in Dead World.
Nearby, there’s a poster featuring an anime character that Moses admires, complete with a safe on its head. Inspect the poster, then check the box beneath it. Although the camera isn’t here, doing so prompts Max to suggest inquiry about a safe to Moses.
Return to the Living World and ask if he possesses a safe. He’ll mention a star called Saiph (pronounced like "safe") in the Orion constellation. With this clue, shift back to Dead World and make your way to the loft.
On a bookshelf near the railing, there’s a Star Projector. Max notes that Moses probably used it to paint the mural, meaning Saiph should be projected there.
Align the constellations with the mural, determining where Saiph was positioned on the night he hid the camera.
Once everything is properly aligned, head back downstairs to find Saiph situated in the lower left corner. Max will notice the camera hidden in the vent behind a cart filled with telescope components.
Before you get the chance to grab the camera, Detective Alderman arrives, gaining entry to the lab. It’s crucial to remain out of sight and create a diversion to snag Safi’s camera.
Fortunately, you’re conveniently positioned right at a shift point. Switch to the Living World and take the loud Hawt Dawg Man ornament from the Christmas tree. Proceed upstairs to the loft and shift back to Dead World. A cutscene unfolds as Max sets the ornament down and activates it.
Before Alderman ascends the stairs, quickly shift to Living World, descend, and then return to Dead World. When you attempt to move the telescope parts, the dolly squeaks, alerting Alderman.
Max expresses her wish that Moses had constructed the telescope in this timeline, causing the telescope parts to illuminate. Follow the on-screen prompts, and Max will use her powers to swap the telescope parts with the actual telescope, effectively concealing you from Alderman’s sight.
While Alderman focuses on the newly manifested telescope, you can swiftly retrieve Safi’s camera from behind the grate, then shift to the Living World, exit Moses’ office, and shift back to Dead World.
