Unlocking Silent Hill 2'S Secrets: Opening Paint Cans Quietly

In Silent Hill 2 Remake, players must find the Paint Can and Can Opener, two key items, in order to progress in the game. The Paint Can can be found in Room 318 of the Lakeview Hotel, while the Can Opener can be found in a staff office safe on the first floor of the same hotel. Once both items are obtained, they must be combined to create the Open Paint Can, which is used to solve a puzzle involving a suitcase in Room 205.

Find the can opener in a staff office safe on the first floor of Lakeview Hotel

To find the can opener in Silent Hill 2, you'll need to head to the first floor of the Lakeview Hotel. The Lakeview Hotel is located across the lake, where you'll find a pier outside the hotel. Grab the Lakeview Hotel Garden Map off the bulletin board at the dock, then climb the ramp to the top.

Once inside, you'll want to make your way to the first floor to find a staff office with a safe. The first floor is accessible via the lobby, where you can also find a letter for James on the check-in desk. The west side of the first floor is barred, so you'll need to explore the east side. The exact location of the staff office is not specified, so you may need to search multiple rooms.

Once you find the staff office with the safe, you'll be able to obtain the can opener. Keep in mind that the can opener is used to open a can in the basement kitchen, revealing some light bulbs. Combining the light bulb with the paint can results in a red light bulb, which is used to obtain the code for the suitcase in Room 205.

Use the can opener to open the paint can

To open a can of paint in Silent Hill 2, you will need to find the can opener. The can opener is a key item in the game and can be found in a staff office safe on the first floor of the Lakeview Hotel. Once you have the can opener, you can use it to open the paint can.

To obtain the paint can, players will need to go to Room 318 of the Lakeview Hotel. The paint can will be on a coffee table. After obtaining the paint can, players can combine it with the can opener to get the open paint can.

It is important to note that the paint can and can opener are both key items in the game and are required to progress in the game. The open paint can is used to create the Red Light Bulb, which is needed to solve the Suitcase Puzzle in the Lakeview Hotel.

To find the can opener, players can use the stairway between Rooms 318 and 319 to enter Room 217. From there, they should head to the balcony and shoot the glass to make the can opener drop to the first floor. Alternatively, on Light Combat difficulty, simply approaching the glass will shatter it.

Once you have both the paint can and the can opener, you can combine them to create the open paint can and progress in the game.

Combine the open paint can and a lightbulb to get the red lightbulb

To combine the open paint can and a lightbulb to get the red lightbulb in Silent Hill 2, players must first locate the paint can and can opener. The paint can is found in Room 318 of the Lakeview Hotel. To access this room, players must first obtain the Cinderella Figurine and kill the Mandarin that bursts through the wall in Room 316. They must then move a cabinet to reveal a breakable wall, which they can break to enter Room 317. From there, they can proceed to the balcony area, jump over the fence, and enter Room 318.

Once the paint can is obtained, players must locate the can opener. The can opener can be found in a staff office safe on the first floor of the Lakeview Hotel. To access it, players must use the stairway between Rooms 318 and 319 to enter Room 217 and proceed to the balcony. There, they must shoot the glass to make the can opener drop to the first floor. Alternatively, on Light Combat difficulty, simply approaching the glass will shatter it. Players can then head back down to the first floor and retrieve the can opener from its container on top of a large box.

With both the paint can and can opener in hand, players can combine these items to obtain the open paint can. This item is crucial for creating the red lightbulb, which is used to solve the suitcase puzzle in Room 205 of the Lakeview Hotel. By applying the paint from the open can to a lightbulb, players will create the red lightbulb. This modified lightbulb can then be used to reveal a hidden code or message that is essential for progressing in the game.

It is important to note that the process of combining the open paint can and a lightbulb is not explicitly stated in the game. Players must use their problem-solving skills and creativity to understand that the paint can be used to alter the lightbulb's colour. This non-obvious solution adds to the intrigue and challenge of Silent Hill 2, encouraging players to think outside the box and explore various possibilities to progress in the game.

Use the red lightbulb to get the code for the suitcase in Room 205

To get the code for the suitcase in Room 205 in Silent Hill 2, you will need to use a red lightbulb. This puzzle is known as the Vanity Mirror Puzzle.

First, you must find the red lightbulb. To do this, you will need to collect several items. The first item is a can opener, which can be found in the Lake Shore Restaurant. Next, you will need a paint can, which is located in Room 318 on a coffee table. You will also need a lightbulb, which can be found in the Lakeview Hotel Garden on a fountain.

Once you have all the items, combine the paint can with the can opener to open it, and then combine the paint can with the lightbulb. This will give you a red lightbulb.

Now, make your way to Room 205 and remove the old broken lightbulb from the vanity mirror. Screw the new red lightbulb into the vanity mirror and turn it on. The mirror will reveal the code for the suitcase, which may vary depending on the puzzle difficulty. The code could be "DEED DONE" or "LOVE LUST". Input this code into the suitcase to open it and retrieve the Employee Elevator Key.

Alternatively, use the thinner from the basement to reveal the code

In Silent Hill 2, players can find the thinner in the basement of the Lakeview Hotel. Specifically, the item can be found on the floor of an open elevator on the first basement floor.

The thinner is used to reveal a four-letter code on a photograph in Room 202 of the Lake View Hotel. The photograph is marked with a black scribble or a black "x", which can be removed with the thinner. This code is used to open a briefcase in the same room, which contains a music box.

To obtain the paint can, players must first obtain a can opener and combine these items to get the open paint can. The paint can is found in Room 318 of the Lakeview Hotel. It is on a coffee table, and players must jump over a fence on the balcony to access the room.

Combining the open paint can with a lightbulb yields a red lightbulb, which is used to obtain the code for the suitcase in Room 205.
