Silent Hill 2 coin puzzle solutions
Unlike the original game, there are multiple stages to this puzzle. Each is accompanied by a riddle, telling you in no easy where to place each coin, then to where you should move it.
The riddles vary depending on which puzzle difficulty you are playing, but a general rule to to look for the words that match the coins, such as Man, Woman, Flower, etc, and pay attention to the details of the background image, including the tree, sun, and moon. Here's the normal mode puzzle as an example.
Normal mode
Riddle one:
Three bright coins in the five holes be,
first sits the Maiden underneath the tree.
The wind from behind the Maiden doth blow,
a beautiful Flower alone has to grow.
And here comes the Man, so sleek and so fine,
in the pale moonlight his eyes doth shine.
The three coin faces you need for this puzzle are the flower, the maiden, and the man. The maiden sits underneath the tree – in the middle, the man is under the pale moonlight – the far left, and the flower is behind the woman – the far right.
Man – empty – Maiden – empty – Flower
Riddle 2:
The man doth approach, his Blade now revealed,
his face disappears behind shining steel.
Away from the man doth the Maiden flee,
towards the Flower, away from the tree.
Here, you need to flip the coin with the man's face to reveal a sword. This coin now moves one slot to the right, as does the Maiden.
Empty – Sword – empty – Maiden – Flower
Riddle 3:
Where once grew a flower, a venomous glee,
where once was a maiden, but a stone doth be.
And over her Grave the Man doth remain,
his blade never met the vile Serpent's vein.
Rotate the sword coin back to the face of the man, and rotate both other coins too, revealing a gravestone and a snake.
Empty – empty – Man – Grave – Serpent
Riddle 4:
The Beast who its teeth in her flesh doth bore,
He who has failed, She who is no more.
Now unto you falls a grievous chore,
who carries blame for what fate had in store?
Now, you must choose who you think holds the blame for the woman's death. Simply place the coin with the man's face in the top-most slot.
Now you know how to resolve the coin puzzle in the Silent Hill 2 remake, you can continue onto the Otherworld and the puzzles awaiting you in the horrifying Blue Creek apartments, including Brookhaven padlock combination and more.
