Immediately to the right of this chest, there is a shooting rangewhere cultists have apparently been practicing. If players check this range closely, they will see that there are numbered targets and various numbers of bolts fired into some of them.

The bolts have been looted in this screenshot, but the code is confirmed to be as below.
