Silent Hill 2 Remake: Wood Side Apartments Walkthrough

To reach Rosewater Park, James must acquire three Coins: Man, Woman, and Snake. The once-abandoned apartment complex quickly fills with monstrosities after James obtains the Flashlight from the open apartment on 2F. In this room, he also finds the Chute Courtyard Key, which he uses on the 1F backdoor next to the Reception. This leads to the Garbage Chute, a crucial location for one of the Coins.

How to Solve the Coin Puzzle in Silent Hill 2

Move the wheelie bin to the open window with white cloth on its windowsill. Once inside, circle around past Room 110 and interact with the key beyond the gate. Your introduction to Laura shows her kicking away the key. Out of arms reach, you need to head back to the Apartment Lobby, where the gates to the first floor are now open. Lying Figures roam the corridors, so be prepared to fight or outmaneuver them. Explore 1F in its entirety, picking up the 2nd Floor Hallway Key Laura kicked away from you earlier.

Coin [Man] Location: Apartment 206 Safe Combination

Grab the Golden Apple Handle from the closet in Room 108. Now, head to 2F and turn left immediately, using the Hallway Key to enter this section of the second floor. Remember the location of the small room next to 212; this is the halfway point of the Garbage Chute.

It's helpful to head to 217 next, as the Handgun is here. However, we don't recommend using this weapon to handle Mannequins or Lying Figures. Instead, stockpile ammunition for Brookhaven Hospitals and boss fights. To progress, find the Apartment 212 Key from Room 213. Pyramid Head will disappear, giving you safe passage into the other side of 2F.

You can interact with the outside staircase between 210 and 207 to lower it onto 1F's Courtyard, providing another way back to the ground floor. Continuing your exploration, you can use the Golden Apple Handle on the closet within 208, taking you straight to 206 and trapping you inside a puzzle box. The safe combination is as follows: Right 13 – Left 7 – Right 11. You will get the Coin [Man] and key to escape the room.

Coin [Woman] Location: Garbage Chute Guide

One Coin down, head to 205 to pick up the 2F Small Staircase Key. Backtrack to Room 213 and use the key on the northern staircase. Remember that side room with the Garbage Chute? Ascend the northern staircase and head to that side room via the third floor.

Use the Canned Juice in the room and pour it inside the chute. The blockage will clear with the Coin rolling out into the center of the Courtyard. You can quickly access this area from the northern staircase, returning to 1F and unlocking the door to the Courtyard. You can also find Eddie in Room 116 while you're on the way to pick up this Coin.

Coin [Snake] Location

The final Coin is incredibly easy to find after meeting Eddie. Room 116 opens out to the pool outside. Lying Figures protect the pram in the drained pool as it houses the Snake Coin. You can either lure them out of the pool, defeat them with your weapon of choice, or leg it to the pram in hopes that you don't take any damage. I bravely chose the latter.

Coin Cabinet Solution

Return to the Reception room of Wood Side (where you can save the game) now that you have all three coins. The Coin Cabinet puzzle tells the tale of the Maiden and Man. You must put the three Coins in the correct slot, corresponding to each part of the tale. Each Coin can be flipped to reveal a different engraving. Here is the order:

Coin [Man]: Maiden Flees Left

Coin [Woman]: Maiden Flees Right

Coin [Snake]: Man Pursues Maiden

From here, the path is laid in front of you; head to Room 201 and enter the otherworldly Blue Creek Apartments.
