SILENT HILL 2: Silent Hill 2 Remake — all codes for safes, locks and doors

The supermarket is located in the eastern part of the South Valley. You don’t have to visit this building to progress through the storyline, but you can find useful loot inside. The supermarket is located at the intersection of Katz Street and Neely Street, north of the Neely Bar. The front door is blocked, but there is an alley with a back entrance on the Neely Street side. A digital panel is installed on the door. There are no clues nearby.
To get the code from the supermarket, head south on Neely Street and turn onto Sanders Street. Here, look for a lone truck with a corpse lying around. Before examining the dead man and reading the note, deal with the enemy who will get out from under the truck. After destroying it, take a look at the note. Its content will depend on what level of difficulty you are going through the game. However, the code combination used to unlock the supermarket is also different.

Carefully study the note, because not only its front side is important, but also what is indicated on the back:
Easy — 4442

Standard — 4444

Difficult — 4446

The code from the safe differs depending on the level of complexity, but the principle of the solution as a whole remains the same. There is a note hanging on the safe, and its contents will be different, but everything you read relates in one way or another to the images on the walls. Match the words and drawings on the walls, find the numerical values next to these drawings and use one or another code combination:
Easy — on “15” ⭮, on “11” ⭯, on “13” ⭮

Standard/Difficult — on “13” ⭮, on “7” ⭯, on “11” ⭮

After you find yourself in the otherworld, instead of the Woodside residential complex, you will study its mangled copy — Blue Creek. The main puzzle is related to an old grandfather clock, for which you are looking for lost hands. Having found the minute hand, return along the corridor to the door with moths and the letter M. Once inside, you will find a combination lock, and to the right of it, on the wall, there is a clue to find a solution.
Here are the equations, the content of which depends on the current difficulty settings. But the overall task boils down to one thing: you need to find the appropriate images on the wings or head of moths scattered in different parts of the room. In fact, you don’t need to look for all the moths: it’s enough to know the right solution.

Depending on the difficulty level, enter one of the suggested combinations:

Easy — 582

Standard — 373

Difficult — 522

Once in the western part of the South Valley and having met Maria, you will have to go through the Jacks Motel. This is a mandatory plot location, and to remove the lock from the back gate, you will have to crack the safe at the reception. There is a note next to it that tells you where to look for the code combination (in room 107).
Go outside, go to the right and climb the outside stairs. The door of room 107 is closed, but you can break the window of Apartment 108 and squeeze through a crack in the wall. Carefully study the note, which contains several numbers. This is the code combination you need:

Easy/Standard — 0451

Difficult — 0533

You can visit this location twice in one playthrough. When you find yourself in the western part of the South Valley with Maria, take your time to follow the girl to the park. Instead, walk to the end of Nathan Avenue until you find Pete’s bowling alley (just past the gas station). The safe you’ll see inside is linked to one of the new secret endings of the Silent Hill 2 Remake.

You can open the safe only after the first completion of the game, in the “New Game+” mode. This should be done before visiting the hospital, because for the secret ending you need the contents of the safe — a rusty key. To open the safe, you need to find the correct code. He is listed in a note that can be found next to the corpse at the end of Nathan Avenue. Head west, past the Silent Hill Historical Society, until you find yourself over the bridge at the ravine. There is a corpse lying on the asphalt, and next to it is a note with the code 1887. Enter this code on the safe at Pete’s bowling alley. It will be the same regardless of the specified difficulty level!

What is a rusty key for?

A rusty key is hidden in the safe, which opens a casket hidden in a gazebo in the courtyard of the hospital. You will definitely get into this courtyard according to the plot when you first move to the hall with a swimming pool. There is a medical drug “Claudia Belaya” in the box. In Laura Silent Hill, it is a powerful hallucinogenic substance. It should be drunk in the TV room at the Lakeview Hotel.

When you get to the hospital where Laura ran away, go to the reception and take a look at the wall locker. Inside it is the key to the basement. You need a code to open the locker. Examine the note located nearby to get a hint on where to look for the code combination.
In fact, you should go to the end of the open hospital wing on the ground floor, break a window and inspect one of the operating rooms and the room adjacent to it. There will be a note here that tells you how to get the code from the locker at the reception. All instructions are limited to using photographs and paintings hanging in the lobby. You are interested in paintings with doctors, nurses and trees. More precisely, the number of objects in these paintings.

Using the pictures and hints from the note, you should get the following codes for the locker at the hospital reception:

Easy — 287

Standard — 724

Difficult — 152

The nursing station is located on the second floor of the hospital, in the lobby, where the first nurse attacks you. A note with hints hangs on the window, which hints that the code should be searched in the resident’s office.
Before you get into it, follow down and to the right (on the map) from the nursing post to get to the office of the director of the hospital. Find the stairs leading to the third floor. In the observation room C5 (to get inside, break the window), look for the key to the inner compartment 1F.

Return to the hospital lobby and open the double door leading to this department (opposite the reception). You need to get to the pharmacy, get out through the window into the garden and get into the hall with a swimming pool. By the way, it is in this garden that there is a gazebo with a casket that opens with a rusty key. Leave the pool through the shower room and enter the resident’s room. There is a note on the board with a picture of the code combination. The drawing depends on the current difficulty level.

With the help of a drawing, you can open a nursing post:

Easy/Standard — 3578

Difficult — 7456

On the third floor of the hospital there is a locked room D1, to access which you need to determine the code combination. It is contained on radiographs that need to be hung with a negatoscope (a luminous board). It is not necessary to collect all the X-rays and hang them on the board, but this process will lead to the receipt of the code.
The code combination will be the same regardless of the difficulty level, but what you will see on the X-rays is different (the higher the difficulty level, the fewer doodles and scratches that you can use to navigate to the correct location of the image):

Easy/Standard/Hard — on “4” ⭮, on “37” ⭯, on “12” ⭮

As soon as you collect 3 bracelets scattered in different parts of the hospital, visit the director’s office on the second floor and examine the hand located on the table. You need to place and rotate the three bracelets so that the combination of numbers 92-45-71 turns out from top to bottom. It is necessary to do this, because this is the only way you will receive the key to the pantry next to the director’s office (and the save point). And this is necessary to find the code for the safe described below.

The code for the safe in the director’s office

Having dealt with the three bracelets and the hand from the director’s office (read in the previous section), you will find yourself in the pantry. Arrange the books on the shelves of the pantry so that you get a complete picture of a fire-breathing lion. In addition, in the same room you will find a button that can be installed on the safe to the left of the director’s desk. Without this key, you will not be able to enter the correct code combination on the safe.
Thanks to the correctly placed books, you will be able to match symbols and numbers, and then use the sequence 9-2-4-5-7-1. Regardless of the difficulty level, you need to click on the safes using the same symbols.
Instead of describing these symbols, let’s proceed as follows: number the buttons on the safe from left to right from “1” to “9”, and then click on them in the following order:

▼6

▼3

▼9

▼5

▼8

▼7

After James finds himself in the otherworldly world of the hospital, you will need to find two codes and the key to three locks on the chest. To make it easier to navigate, you can use three chains that go away from the chest in three directions: each of them leads to a place where there are clues to the password or key.
We will not focus on how to get these code combinations (I will tell you in detail in a separate guide), and instead we will immediately specify the passwords. It is noteworthy that you can do nothing and immediately enter these codes to remove two chains from the chest at once:

Keypad — 9659

Padlock cylinder — 1622

The decorative box, along with the supermarket from the first part of the game, is an optional object of attention. You don’t need to open it. Moreover, if you enter the wrong code, you will also receive damage, and the box itself will be blocked after the first incorrect action.
The code combination itself is obtained from the answers to the quiz questions that you will listen to in the elevator of the hospital from the other world (immediately after you unlock the box with three locks). In the elevator, you just listen, do nothing, and don’t press. Then, once you find the two rings and reunite with Maria, before taking the elevator and returning to the stone figure on the top floor, turn into the pharmacy on the right. There is a decorated casket in the open room. And the code from it:
231

There are cartridges and medicines inside the box

After passing through the Silent Hill historical community, you will find yourself in the basement. In one of the rooms there will be a key to the floor grate that covers the pit. As soon as you grab the key, you will find yourself trapped: the doors will slam shut, the room will be filled with bugs and insects. 99% of the animals are harmless, but occasionally the same bugs appear that will interfere with entering the password.
When you examine the keyboard, you will find three buttons that are not stained. They make up the code combination, and each time it is selected randomly. That is, you will have to act by selecting, having tried the following codes:

▼293

▼239

▼329

▼392

▼923

▼932

There are two locks on the suitcase that you will find at the hotel, and for each of them there is a code word of four Latin letters. The combination will be different depending on the current difficulty level. Both words will appear on the nearest dressing table after you replace the broken light bulb (and first you will find it, find a can of paint, open it and repaint the light bulb in red). But you can not do all this and immediately enter one of the listed combinations:

Easy — DARK WISH

Standard — DEED DONE

Hard — LOVE LUST

Once in the basement of the Lakeview Hotel, while searching for three figures for a large music box (or rather a closet), you will have to open the safe in the central office. You can search for a code combination, or you can use the password listed below:

Easy/Standard/Hard — 7414

To get the code, you need to find three colorful gems.

Rather, it’s not a code, but how many times you need to turn each of the three knobs on the large music cabinet in the hotel lobby. The combination varies depending on the difficulty level, as different verses are used on the plates:

Easy — 7, 2, 1

Standard — 7, 5, 1

Difficult — 1, 1, 1

Finally, in the otherworldly Lakeview Hotel, after the cut scene with Angela Orozco, go to the room in the upper left corner of the map. There is a safe there, when you unlock it, you will receive a valuable item necessary for one of the secret endings of the game. To open the safe, you will need a tosca key and a code. The first one should be found in the very first car with broken windows, behind the Silent Hill farm, under the bridge on Nathan Avenue. You need to break the rear windows, and this can only be done with a chainsaw (look for logs near the farm).

As for the code, there is a hint to it on the nearest note. Enter 314. There is a postcard inside the safe. If you look at it from both sides, then when you receive the ending of “In the River” you will see an alternative version of it (Mary will be sitting in the back seat.
