Silent Hill 2 – Wood Side 3 Coin Puzzle

In the main office of the Wood Side Apartments is the puzzle you need to solve in order to leave the apartments. You need to collect 3 different coins throughout the complex and then bring them back here. An overall video showing all of Wood Side when Puzzle Difficulty=Light can be seen here.

  • Quick list:
  • Coin (Man) – Apartment 206
  • Coin (Maiden) – Garbage Chute, from the 3rd floor
  • Coin (Snake) – Courtyard off Apartment 116

Coin (Man)

The first coin is the Coin (Man), which can be found in the safe in apartment 206. But in order to get into Apartment 206, you need to get the golden apple handle from Apartment 108. Use select to turn the left hand facing down so it drops it.

Then use it in 208 to open the wardrobe and allow you to push it aside to get into 206. The solution to 206 on puzzle difficulty light can be seen here, but basically, keep your flashlight on, and check the walls and floor for pictures that correspond to the poem on the wall. Then put those numbers into the safe in the order that matches the poem. For Light Puzzle Difficulty, that’d be 15-11-13

Coin (Maiden)

The second Coin (Maiden) can be found in the trash compactor in the laundry rooms. On the second floor, you can see it but you can’t reach it. But it’s not until you get the 2F Small Staircase Key from 205 (right after completing 206), can you get up to the 3rd floor.

On the 3rd floor, make your way around to the laundry room and use the juice cans on the chute to push everything out into the courtyard. Then go down and get the coin.

Coin (Snake)

You can now go down to Apartment 116 and out into the courtyard for this last coin. There are 5 monsters out here, but if you lure the one by the pool around to the steps of the pool, you can get all of them out and in the corner, allowing you to drop down into the pool, grab the coin from the baby carriage, and get out without having to deal with any of them. To see that in action, check out the youtube video linked at the top of the post.

Final Riddles for the Coin Box

Take the coins back to the main office and put them in the coin box. Use ROTATE when you want to flip the coin.

First Riddle: Man, Maiden, Flower (back of snake)

Second Riddle; Sword, Maiden, Snake (flip/rotate man and flower, but keep where they are).

Third Riddle: Snake, Grave, Man (flip/rotate man and swap with snake, flip/rotate maiden)

Fourth Riddle: I have put both the snake and the maiden in the top slot and both have given me the key to 206, so I’m under the assumption that you can put any of them in there.
