How to Solve the Coin Cabinet Puzzle in Wood Side Apartments in Silent Hill 2 Remake
Exploring each important location in the Silent Hill 2 remake requires a thorough analysis and a complete exploration of the area. One of the largest locations is the Wood Side Apartments, where you’ll need to solve a coin cabinet puzzle to unlock a secret room. This coin cabinet puzzle, found near the entrance to the Wood Side Apartments, is the main puzzle to be solved to progress through the area. When you first encounter the coin cabinet, James will remove a sheet, revealing the coin slots. From this moment on, you can interact with the cabinet, but keep in mind that, when you first enter the Wood Side Apartments, you won’t have all the necessary items to solve the puzzle.
Before starting to solve the coin cabinet, you’ll need to find three coins hidden throughout the complex: the Man’s Coin, the Woman’s Coin, and the Snake’s Coin. These coins are essential to solving the puzzle.
Puzzle #1: "The Man who approaches, his blade now revealed, his face disappears behind the shiny blade. Far from the man, the woman flees, towards the flower, away from the tree."
Solution: Empty Slot | Sword | Empty Slot | Woman | Flower
Puzzle #2: "Where a flower once grew, a poisonous joy, where a woman once was, but stone now exists. And on her tomb, the man remains, his blade never reached the serpent’s path."
Solution: Tomb | Sword | Flower | Empty Slot | Cobra
Puzzle #3: "The one who dug near the crown that casts a cruel shadow on the face of the one who disappeared. There is no soul, no vision, no sound, and yet evil slides across the radiant floor."
Solution: Empty Slot | Man | Woman | Empty Slot | Cobra
Puzzle #4: "The serpent that emerged from death and decay, the one who failed, those who now are beyond. Now you judge the figures of the game and choose who will be the burden of sin."
Solution: Any coin can be chosen. Place it in the top slot of the cabinet.
Each time you place your chosen coin in the top slot of the cabinet, the drawer will open, revealing the key to Apartment 201. You can now take this item to the southwest corner of the second floor. This room is where you conclude the part of Wood Side Apartments in the game.
