In the Silent Hill 2 Remake, players will come across a puzzle that includes the locked safe in the director’s office at Brookhaven Hospital. This puzzle has several steps and requires some clever thinking, but it is pretty easy otherwise, especially if you already know the codes.
Players will need to find three bracelets hidden around the hospital and complete a couple of smaller tasks to access the safe and continue their adventure. Here’s how to tackle this puzzle and unlock the secrets inside.
How to Solve the Bracelet Puzzle
First of all, players must locate the three medical bracelets: the Marked, Filthy, and Bloodstained bracelets. These bracelets are scattered throughout Brookhaven Hospital, so players will have to explore the area carefully to find them all. Once all three bracelets are collected, players can return to the hand statue in the director’s office of Silent Hill 2 Remake.
To place the bracelets correctly, put the Bloodstained Bracelet on top and turn it until it shows the number 92.
Next, put the Marked Bracelet in the middle and turn it to display 45.
Lastly, put the Filthy Bracelet at the bottom and turn it to 71.
Each bracelet has a small area where the paint has worn off, which shows the numbers. The statue has a spot with chipped paint that players must line up with these numbers. When done right, the statue will drop the key to the storage room, along with the combination to the safe, which is 92-45-71.
However, players will need to decode the numbers into symbols before they can open the safe. To do this, they must figure out which symbols correspond to the numbers. This is done by arranging books on a shelf in the office. The goal is to make the spines of the books form the shape of a lion.
Once the books are arranged correctly, players can see which symbols match the numbers. The symbols reveal the combination needed to open the safe.
Cracking the Safe Code in Silent Hill 2 Remake
With the key from the statue and the correct arrangement of books, players can finally move on with the safe puzzle. Before they start, they need the Safe Button, which is on a small table next to the safe.
Once they have that, players can place the button on the safe and input the symbols corresponding to the code 92-45-71.
For players on both Standard and Hard difficulty levels of Silent Hill 2 Remake, the code begins with the symbol of a triangle inside a circle and ends with a circle that has both a horizontal and vertical line in it. If players input these symbols correctly, the safe will open, and they’ll receive the Rooftop Key.
This key leads to an important part of the game and allows players to access the roof of the hospital. On the rooftop, examining the Page From a Diary note will trigger James’ journey into the Otherworld of Brookhaven Hospital.
Tip
It’s wise for players to make sure they’ve explored everything they want in the hospital before heading to the roof.
Unlocking the safe in the director’s office requires some patience and clever problem-solving, but isn’t all that difficult.
By collecting the bracelets, solving the book puzzle, and cracking the safe code, players can continue their adventure in the Silent Hill 2 Remake as they move on to the next chapter of the game.
