Brookhaven Hospital Walkthrough in Silent Hill 2: Remake

As you progress through Brookhaven Hospital, you'll have to solve a lot of puzzles, while fighting nurses, patients, and several bosses. For each puzzle, we've prepared a detailed solution, depending on the difficulty level you choose, and we've provided codes for all the locks and doors in the building.

Key locker code

The first thing you'll come across when you get to the hospital is a cabinet with keys, locked with a combination lock. There's a note in the nightstand nearby that relates to this puzzle - read it to learn about Examination room number 3, where the clue to the riddle lies.

Head to the indicated location and break the glass to the left of the door to enter the room. Move to the intermediate room between the 3rd and 2nd office, where you will find a hint to the code lock in the nightstand. Depending on the difficulty, the text will differ, but it always refers to three paintings hanging in the corridor: they depict nurses, wizards и trees.

Return to the checkpoint and look for images on the walls. Use the following codes to open the cabinet on all difficulties:

Low	Standard	High
2-8-7	7-2-4	1-5-2

The principle of solving the riddle at different levels and the code for the lock in the hospital is as follows:

Low: the first two numbers are given out immediately, and for the last one you need to know the number of nurses in the photo in the corridor. Code: 2 - 8 - 7.
Standard: Count the number of nurses, doctors, and trees, in that order. The result is the code 7 - 2 - 4.
High: the first number is hidden in the last line of the note - the word "only" means 1. The second digit is the number of nurses in the photo, however, you need to add 1, which is missing, subtract 2, which are already dead, and another 1, which is a fraud, to get the example: 7+1-2-1=5. For the third number, you need to divide the number of trees in the picture by 2, since they were cut in half - you get the number 2. Final code: 1 - 5 - 2.

Enter the received combination and take it from the cabinet basement key - it will help you get down and continue the story.

After all the cut scenes go check room C5 on the second floor - this is one of the conditions for receiving endings with Maria. Periodically, during the process of exploring the hospital, you can visit it to reach the eponymous ambiguous ending.

Code for the nurses' station

Once you get to the second floor, head towards To the nursing station in the northern part of the hospital. There you will find a locked room with a combination lock and a note on the glass, hinting at how to open the age.

To solve the riddle, go down to the first floor and head to Rest room. Search the location for a piece of paper, on which, depending on the difficulty, you will see either circles (low or medium level) or an unfinished game of tic-tac-toe (hardcore level). The correct codes are as follows:

Low / Medium	Tall
3-5-7-8	7-4-5-6

You can open the combination lock on the nurses' station yourself by deciphering the picture as follows:

On low/medium difficulty level, there are circles on a piece of paper with a red line covering them. Mentally assign a number to each, where 1 is the top left picture and 9 is the bottom right. The final code is the numbers that are covered by the red line, that is, 3 - 5 - 7 - 8.
On hardcore In addition to the circles crossed out with a red line, the figure also shows crosses, but the principle of the solution is the same: assign numbers in order to each cell. The line covers only some cells - the final code, if you look from left to right, will be 7 - 4 - 5 - 6.

Return to the nurses' station and enter the combination you received. Inside the room you will find ammo, several notes, and X-ray, which will be useful in one of the following puzzles.

X-ray riddle

There is an X-ray puzzle on the third floor. To get into the room, break the glass in Examination room 5, and from there head to the right room.

Place all the x-rays as shown in the image and you will get lock code: 4 – 37 – 12. It is universal for any complexity.
