How do you open the Silent Hill 2 hospital padlock? An apple a day might keep the doctor away, but there’s no such remedy when it comes to Silent Hill 2’s nurses. Brookhaven Hospital is a location that strikes fear into the heart of any Silent Hill fan, but progressing beyond the hospital’s lobby is far trickier in Bloober’s remake than in the original.

Silent Hill 2 is as much a puzzle game as it is horror, which can present a bigger challenge to your progression than the enemies themselves. The Silent Hill 2 padlock puzzle stands between you and the horrors of this nightmare hospital, and you’ve got to solve it if you want to reach any of the Silent Hill 2 endings. If you’re trapped in the lobby and still feeling stumped, we can walk you through how to find the combination code across all difficulty modes.
