After a harrowing encounter with Pyramid Head, you will find yourself navigating through the eerie Blue Creek Apartments in the *Silent Hill 2 Remake*. This new environment is significantly more dilapidated than the previous areas you explored.
As you try to make sense of your unsettling surroundings, you will stumble upon a door marked with an “M”that is locked. Peering through, you may notice a few ominous elements outside that heighten the mystery.
Unsurprisingly, you need to unlock this room, which will ultimately lead to the intricate moth puzzle integral to your quest.
How to Access the Moth Room
Interestingly, the “M”on the door doesn’t straightforwardly correspond to “Moth.”Instead, you will need the Minute Hand to activate the clock and gain entry.
First, head to the room labeled with an “H”(Room 210) and break through the kitchen wall to enter the bathroom. Searching the toilet will yield the coveted Minute Hand.
Now, your initial passage to Room 212 is obstructed, so you will need to navigate around this obstacle. Explore the apartment complex to find the Pigeon figurine and additional parts required for the Seesaw Puzzle.
Once you gather these items, you will receive the Winged Key, enabling access to the first floor. Proceed to Room 109, where a cutscene featuring Angela unfolds.
If you enjoy uncovering subtle character details, don’t miss this intriguing detail about Angela.
After the cutscene, you will acquire the Key of Resilience, which allows you to return to Room 212. Once there, attach the Minute Hand to the clock and set it to 2 o’clock to unlock the “M”door.
Hints for the Moth Puzzle Room
In total, you must investigate five different locations to gather all necessary clues regarding the moths:
- The portrait on the wall, depicting three moths, features: the left moth with one sun, the middle with one skull, and the right with two moons.
- A podium showcasing a moth with two suns.
- A green, single-seater sofa containing a moth with two suns.
- The second podium, located in the room’s corner, is adorned with a moth exhibiting four moons.
- Lastly, break through a wall to access an adjoining room, where you can shift a cupboard to reveal another portrait with two moths—one on the left shows one skull, and the one on the right has two moons.
