The Area 41 symbol code in Far Far West is one of the cleaner secrets in the game once you know what to look for. However, it can still waste time if you miss the correct order.
Basically, you need to find four symbol pillars across different maps, note the symbols shown on them, then line them up in the correct sequence back at the Area 41 map. The sequence is tied to the number of dots under each symbol, not the order you find them in, which is why many players get stuck.
Once you solve it, you unlock the Anti-Gravity Falls Joker reward. Here’s a complete breakdown of the Far Far West Area 41 code puzzle into simple steps.

What is the Area 41 code in Far Far West?
Area 41 code is a secret puzzle in Far Far West that asks you to collect symbol clues from different locations across the map. Each clue appears on a tall purple pillar with a symbol on top and a set of dots underneath it.
The best part of the puzzle is that the game doesn’t hand you a straight answer, so you have to connect the clues yourself before going back to the Area 41 machine. The important cue to know you’re on the right path is by following the dots on the pillars that tell you the order:
- Symbol with one dot means first
- Symbol with two dots means second
- Symbol with three dots means third
- Symbol with four dots means fourth
Once you understand that, the whole puzzle becomes much easier to read. You can either do it solo or with a group of friends in co-op; the choice is up to you.
Where to find the Area 41 symbols in Far Far West
You need to visit four areas – Far West, Desert, Canyon, and Woodland to find the symbols. Each one has a symbol pillar hidden somewhere in the region, and each pillar gives you one part of the code.
Here is the best way to approach them:
- Start in Far West and look for the glowing pillar in the frontier-style part of the map
- Move to Desert and check the lower side of the map for the next symbol
- Head into Canyon and search the western side, where the terrain can make the pillar easy to miss
- Finish in Woodland, where the symbol is usually easier to spot because it sits in the open
Take screenshots or write each symbol down as soon as you find it. It’s easy to mix up a symbol or forget which one had the lower dot count if you rely on memory alone. While you’re heading to the Canyon, you can also find all medallions to unlock Pick Pick Joker.
How to solve the Area 41 code in FFW
Once you have all four symbols, return to Area 41 and interact with the code panel. Don’t enter the symbols based on the order you found them. Instead, enter them based on the dot count under each pillar, and confirm it by pressing F on the right.
In case the code fails, the problem is that one symbol was placed in the wrong slot or a dot count was recorded incorrectly. Try again, and you’ll finally complete the puzzle.
The easiest way to finish this puzzle without backtracking is by treating it like a checklist. Simply find a pillar, note the symbol, count the dots, and move on. Do this for all four locations before you try the code panel, because guessing mid-way usually leads to wasted time.
