In the Silent Hill 2 Remake, players will extensively explore Brookhaven Hospital, particularly in search of the character Laura. This chilling locale features several puzzles, one of which involves obtaining an enigmatic object known as The Hand, located in the Director’s Office.
To progress, players must complete a complex puzzle that requires uncovering three distinct bracelets: Marked, Bloodstained, and Filthy Bracelets. These items are dispersed across various sections of the hospital, specifically on the first and third floors.
How to Locate the Marked Bracelet
The Marked Bracelet is hidden in the Medical Records area, which can only be accessed from the second floor. Begin your quest by visiting the Nurse’s Lounge on the second floor to retrieve the L1 Key.
Next, head to the L1 room on the same floor. Here, you’ll need to maneuver a trolley in order to access a window that leads to another room. Cook under the hole to descend to the first floor, where you should crawl through an opening to reach the Medical Records area.
Look near the boxes adjacent to the bookshelves to find the Marked Bracelet. This item serves as a nostalgic nod to the original game, specifically referencing the Louise Box.
How to Acquire the Bloodstained Bracelet
To uncover the Bloodstained Bracelet, begin by draining water from the pool. You’ll need to strike a wall with a melee weapon to proceed.
First, visit the Women’s Locker Room on the second floor, where you can find a Bent Needle located within a Teddy Bear. From here, make your way to the Dayroom on the first floor to access the Pharmacy. Jump through the window to reach the Garden, then navigate to the Pool Room and further into the Shower Room, where the Medical Tube is located.
Access your inventory and combine the Medical Tube with the Bent Needle. Next, go back to the Pharmacy and use this new item to retrieve the Maintenance Key from the drain.
Return to the Pool Room, use the Maintenance Key to drain the water, then jump into the pool. Finally, locate the wall with eye graffiti and break it using melee attacks to reveal the Bloodstained Bracelet.
How to Find the Filthy Bracelet
Acquiring the Filthy Bracelet involves accessing the D1 room on the third floor and solving an X-ray puzzle. Fortunately, two Radiographs are conveniently placed on the lightbox in the room, while the third can be found on a table within the same space. A final Radiograph lies in the Treatment Room on the second floor.
Before proceeding, gather the Mold Remover located in the Pantry on the first floor. Arrange the four Radiographs according to the marking lines on the lightbox to decode the sequence: 4, 37, 12.
Note that players on hard difficulty will find fewer hint markers, but the solution remains the same. Approach the D1 lock, and enter the combination in this order:
- 4 Right
- 37 Left
- 12 Right
Upon entering the room, interact with the bedsheet to trigger a cutscene in which James unveils the Filthy Bracelet.
Solving the Hand Bracelet Puzzle in Silent Hill 2 Remake
To solve the Hand Bracelet puzzle, add the three bracelets in any sequence. Rotate them until the numbers on each bracelet align with the Hand’s central zone.
Arrange the bracelets in the following order for a successful solution:
- Bloodstained Bracelet: 92
- Marked Bracelet: 45
- Filthy Bracelet: 71
Once properly aligned, an animation will play, and the Hand will release a key, which can be utilized to access the Director’s Storage Room.
With this key, you can unlock the Director’s Safe and proceed to the Rooftop, where an intense boss fight awaits.
