Silent Hill 2 Remake - Apartment 206 Safe Code In The Blackout Room
While the Silent Hill 2 Remake sticks close to the original's story and path through the game, it's filled with puzzles that are similar to what was in the 2001 game, but not quite the same. One of those is the lengthy search for three coins in Wood Side Apartments that are necessary to make your way through to the second apartment building, Blue Creek. Getting the coins requires a ton of exploration and solving a few minor puzzles as well.
In Apartment 208, you can find a peephole into the nearby Apartment 206 and an involved puzzle to nab one of those coins. In the center of this blacked-out room is a safe, and finding the combination isn't exactly obvious. If you're struggling with Silent Hill 2's clues, we've got you covered--this guide will walk you through how to solve the puzzle to unlock the safe, and if you want it, provide the combination, as well. Of course, if you'd rather figure everything out on your own, now's the time to stop reading.
The path into Apartment 206 starts in 208, where you'll find a cabinet in the back of the apartment. On it are two gold hands, one holding an apple, matching a similar cabinet you should have seen in Apartment 108, near where you first entered the building. From that other cabinet, you can get the Golden Apple Handle. Add it to the cabinet in 208 to reveal a hole that lets you see into the next apartment.
You can now push the cabinet out of the way to reveal a hole that lets you slip into Apartment 206. In the center of the room is the safe, but you need its combination. To find it, you'll have to investigate the drawings on the walls around you.
On the wall to the right of the safe is a poem that provides the clues you need. It reads:
"Right where the rooftops pierce through the night. Left are homebound footprints with no owner in sight. But has he found home, oh please pray tell, or a river of memories leading right to his hell."
The clues indicate what you should be looking for on the walls to find the numbers for the safe. You'll need your flashlight on, as the numbers are reflective but can't be seen in the dark. First, look for a drawing of houses, specifically rooftops--you'll find it on the left wall as you face down the hallway beyond the safe, over a triangular tear in the wallpaper that reveals writing underneath.
The second clue mentions "homebound footprints," so you're looking for a drawing of a house with footprints in front. You can find it on the wall behind the safe, next to the iron grate on the wall.
For the final clue, you're searching for a river. If you're facing the font of the safe, do a 180 to face the wall behind you, where a dirty mattress lies on the floor. The river drawing is in the corner to the left, behind the mattress and near the floor.
With the numbers from each clue, you need to check the poem again, which will tell you which direction you should turn the dial on the safe for each number.
Thus, here's the combination for the Apartment 206 safe: right 13, left 7, right 11.
Inside you'll find the Man coin you need for the Coin Cabinet puzzle, as well as the Steel Key that lets you unlock the door to leave Apartment 206 by its front door.
