Padlock puzzle solution for the hospital reception desk in Silent Hill 2
To find the nurse’s note which provides an important clue to the solution to the padlock puzzle, you must first break the glass in Exam Room 3 on the east side of Brookhaven Hospital 1F, then jump from the other side and go through the door on the east side. the right.
Look to the right and open the drawer to collect the nurse’s note and read the bottom text to find the crucial clue if playing on “Standard” difficulty: nurses, doctors and trees.
This means that to solve the reception desk padlock puzzle you need to count how many nurses are in the nurse’s picture, how many doctors are in the doctor’s picture and how many trees are in Brookhaven Hospital photo. All of these photos can be found hanging on the walls of the reception area near the entrance to Brookhaven Hospital.
So if you play on “Standard” difficulty, you will see that there are seven nurses, two doctors and four trees in the three photos, so the code should be 724.
The nurse’s note on the difficulty of the “hard” puzzles gives you more obscure clues:
If the second was as high as the number of nurses, I would still be missing one person. With two of them dead and one just a fraud.
The third would cut the firewood in half.
The first was singular.
“The first was singular” means that the first digit of the code is “1”, because the singular means one. The nurse clue can be developed both from the text of the document and the photo of the nurses in the reception area. There are seven nurses, so the second number is “5” if you minus the one who is a cheat and minus another one for being “one short”.
Then for the final number you count the trees in the photo of Brookhaven Hospital in the reception area and half the amount. Since there are four trees, the third number is “2”.
Collect them in order and you get the “Hard” difficulty combination: 152.
Once you enter the correct code, collect the basement key, then head down the stairs on the southeast side of 1F to continue your journey through Brookhaven Hospital.
