Silent Hill 2 Remake - Moth Puzzle Guide For Blue Creek Apartments
Early in the Silent Hill 2 remake, protagonist James Sunderland makes his way to the Wood Side Apartments, and after searching almost every inch, leaps across a small gap into another building, the Blue Creek Apartments. It's here, in Silent Hill's strange and frightening Otherworld, that James faces even more puzzles blocking his progress. One of those puzzles is in Apartment 202, in a room filled with moths.
To find your way through this room, you need to figure out how the moths relate to a nearby padlock that closes off the way forward. The clue to the solution is the diagram next to the lock, where you'll see math equations using a few different icons: a crescent, a circle inside a diamond, and a skull.
Solving this puzzle requires understanding what the writing on the wall means, and exploring the ins and outs of the bug room. If you're stumped, read on for the Silent Hill 2 remake moth puzzle solution that will help you get out of Apartment 202 and make your way through Blue Creek Apartments and deeper into Silent Hill. Of course, this guide will spoil the puzzle, so if you want to figure it out yourself, stop reading now.
The trick to solving this puzzle is to count the number of each symbol to get the numbers for the equations. The symbols are found on the wings of the moths, but some wings have more symbols than others, and some moths are missing wings.
The number of circles is the easiest to figure out, and the most straightforward. If you walk around the room counting the moths you can see, you'll get 5.
Near the entrance to the room is a hole in the wall you can look through, where you'll see a second death's-head moth, putting the number of skull icons up to two.
The confusing one, however, is the number of crescents. There's actually a hidden moth you can't immediately see, which adds crescents to the total number. To find that moth, look for a spot next to the three moths displayed in the frame, where you can break through a wall into another room.
This is the space you could see through the other hole in the wall. Inside, push the bookshelf away from the death's-head moth and you'll reveal another moth with crescents on its wings. Count the crescents and you'll get a total of 8.
Now you can do the math accurately. The first equation, circles subtracted from crescents, works out to 8-5. The first number, therefore, is 3.
For the second equation, skulls plus circles, gives you 2+5, for a sum of 7.
The final equation is circles minus skulls, or 5-2, which leaves 3.
The combination, from top to bottom, is 3-7-3. That'll get you through the door into the next room, where you can reach into a hole in the wall to find the Second Hand for the clock puzzle.
