Back to the Dawn Beth Birthday Code (Nurse)
Written by Michael Owen | Back to the Dawn
Beth’s birthday in Back to the Dawn is the key to unlocking the infirmary escape route. To get the code, you must befriend her, earn her trust, and learn her personal info. This guide covers how to access the infirmary, build Rapport with Beth, unlock her treatment plan, get the birthday code, and use it to escape.
How to Access the Infirmary
You can enter the infirmary through several methods. Use them to repeatedly visit Beth and raise your Rapport with her.
Passing the Physical Exam
Available once per playthrough. Grants temporary access to work and enter the infirmary.
Losing a Fight
Pick a fight, lose it, and you’ll wake up in the infirmary to recover.
Taking a Laxative
Use a laxative and ask the guard for an escort to the infirmary.
Weak Body Status
If you have the Weak Body condition, you can ask a guard to take you there.
Beth’s Treatment Plan
Once you unlock the plan, you’ll be able to visit on scheduled days.
How to Get Beth’s Treatment Plan
To unlock Beth’s treatment plan, you must raise her Rapport to 60+. You can do this by visiting her often using any of the access methods above.
To speed it up, give her a love letter or bouquet. Once your Rapport reaches 60, confess your feelings. She’ll respond positively and give you a treatment plan.
This lets you visit her during designated times without tricks or status abuse.
How to Get the Infirmary Code (Beth’s Birthday)
The keypad outside the infirmary healing room uses Beth’s birthday as a four-digit code. This date is randomized every playthrough.
You must reach 60 Rapport, then ask Beth about her birthday. She will tell you the current run’s correct code.
If you have the IT skill, you can also hack the keypad without asking her. This requires the proper book to unlock the skill.
Infirmary Escape Route (Beth Birthday Path)
To use the escape route tied to Beth’s birthday, follow these steps:
Visit the infirmary after 17:30
Enter the birthday code into the healing room keypad
Disassemble the window. This triggers a 200-point timed check
Escape through the window using 8 Agility or by lockpicking the nearby door
Climb the radio tower and use a gliding item like a Strength belt to descend
This route may contain additional challenges beyond the tower. Player reports suggest mixed results depending on timing, loadout, and NPC status.
Alternative Route Through the Sewers
If you want to skip the keypad and birthday entirely, use the sewer entry method.
Enter the sewers behind the toilet
Craft a wooden bridge using planks from the large door
Cross to reach the abandoned operation room
Move the medical bed under the rusted vent
Inspect the vent and learn you need a corrosive solution
Befriend Walter the Skunk to gain his crafting talent
Use his recipe to create the solution
Apply it during the day
This unlocks nighttime access to the infirmary from the sewers
This route avoids Rapport checks and randomized codes. It takes more steps but offers consistent results if you prep correctly.
Final Blurb
Beth’s birthday is the hidden key to one of the cleanest escape routes in Back to the Dawn. Build Rapport, ask for her code, and unlock a timed infirmary run that bypasses many of the game’s other routes. If charm doesn’t work, the sewers always will.
