Complete Walkthrough

West South Vale

After the tunnel, you will return to Rosewater Park. Proceed to the spot marked on the map by going left, up the stairs and through a metal gate. Approach the statue of Jennifer Carroll for a cutscene with Angela.

After the cutscene, interact with the ground before the statue to get the 71 Historical Society Key inside the box.

Exit the park and return to the street. Now, continue west via Nathan Avenue until you reach the Silent Hill Historical Society museum.

Trophy/Achievement: All Seems in Order

On your way to the museum, visit Room 106 at Jacks Inn and interact with the symbol revealed behind the wallpaper tear.

Silent Hill Historical Society

There's a Save Point to the left of the entrance. Proceed to explore the exhibition halls, which contain multiple photos and paintings. In the hall to the left, you can find Strange Photo #17: "The new clock" behind the glass in one of the cabinets.

New Game+ Item: Obsidian Goblet

E10 Obsidian Goblet. A black goblet is found in a wall niche in the main exhibition hall.

You can see a painting of the Pyramid Head in the main hall. Find the stairs and go all the waaaaaaaay down. On the desk to the right, there's a short note and a Syringe in a first aid kit. Proceed through the door. In the corridor, you will find a single Lying Figure. Explore a room to the right to find three more paintings and Handgun Ammo on a desk. Follow the corridor to find a hole in the floor behind the door. Against all logic, jump down.

You will find yourself trapped in the round well. Turn around counterclockwise and break the wall with a door behind (the third spot to the left). Go through the flooded corridor with a Lying Figure, go up the stairs and take the door to the right. This next area has locked gates in the ground. Proceed into a small room nearby to find a 72 Spiral-writing Key on the ground illuminated by a red light.

Taking the key will trap you in the room full of creepers, and to get outside, you will need to solve a small puzzle.

Puzzle: Bug Room Keypad Code

The code will be a random three-digit combination of the unstained lit up buttons on the keypad: 2, 3, and 9 – input by trial and error. All possible variations are: 239, 293, 329, 392, 923, 932.

After you escape the room, approach the floor gates, use the key to unlock them and jump down again for the next area.
