Where The Fourth Safe Is In Army of Thieves

Where is the fourth safe located that’s mentioned in Army of Thieves? Set during the initial phase of the Area 51-related outbreak in Zack Snyder’s Army of the Dead, Army of Thieves explores the first three heists that Ludwig Dieter participates in. Joining Matthias Schweighöfer, who is also the film’s director, is the Army of Thieves’ outstanding cast of Nathalie Emmanuel (Gwendoline Starr), Ruby O. Fee (Korina Dominguez), Stuart Martin (Brad Cage/ Alexis Broschini), Guz Khan (Rolph), and Jonathan Cohen (Delacroix).

The team’s focus in the zombie heist prequel is to accomplish three international bank heists within four days. Given his lack of actual experience in safe-cracking, Dieter initially expresses his hesitation. However, he is drawn by the myth surrounding the four famed safes created by the legendary locksmith Hans Wagner. The safes are named after German composer Richard Wagner’s masterpiece, the Ring Cycle. Only three are successfully opened in Army of Thieves, since nobody actually knows where the last one is, only rumors of it being in Nevada. But in the film’s last scene, the leaders of the Army of the Dead’s crew visit Dieter, recruiting him for their most dangerous heist yet — emptying the fourth Wagner safe.

Scott Ward (Dave Bautista) and Maria Cruz (Ana de la Reguera)’s heist in Army of the Dead involves retrieving the remaining money from Bly Tanaka’s (Hiroyuki Sanada) casino in Las Vegas. This is where the Götterdämmerung, the most complicated safe among Wagner’s creations, can be found. Tanaka’s casino, Vegas Bly, is located on Las Vegas Blvd and Flamingo Rd, a little over half a mile north of the fictional hotel The Olympus — the real-life address of Caesars Palace.

Each safe possesses a rich backstory originated from Wagner’s Ring cycle: Rheingold in Paris, Valkyrie in Prague, and Siegfried in St. Moritz. The Götterdämmerung, which is named after the fourth opera, is also known as the “Twilight of the Gods”. It is situated in the heart of the shambler-infested city, and aside from ruthless security measures in place, the safe also has a four-lock rotating randomization mechanism, making it a nearly impossible feat to conquer. While the eponymous opera takes fifteen hours to perform, Dieter only needs thirty minutes to accomplish his goal. Granted, he is fueled by his passion for the locksmith’s history, his success in the heists years ago in Army of Thieves, and his astonishment over the existence of the formidable safe. Unfortunately, in doing so, he places himself in imminent danger, and despite him having a short-lived taste of success, Dieter’s fate in Army of the Dead also ruins any possibility of reuniting with his love, Gwendoline.

What became of Dieter is yet unknown. Regardless, his obsession and purely theoretical knowledge on Wagner and his work, as exhibited in Army of Thieves, led him to become a master safecracker, one lined among the legends. After all, nobody else can claim that they have found and cracked open all of Hans Wagner’s safes except for him.
