Here's the Silent Hill 2 Remake Coin Puzzle solution and all the coin locations in Wood Side Apartments. See how to solve the coin puzzle on light, normal, and hard, and who to blame in the riddle!

Coin Puzzle Solution

To solve the coin puzzle, collect the three coins in Wood Side Apartments and arrange them in the cabinet's slots to match the clues. Each coin has two sides so there are 7 possible answers to each slot, including leaving the slot empty.

Once you get all three arrangements correct, the last coin slot unlocks. You can use any coin for that final step, but there's a small chance it affects the ending of your playthrough.

The correct arrangements change depending on your difficulty setting. Below are the solutions for light, normal, and hard difficulties.

Who to Blame in the Coin Puzzle

Anyone, But It Could Affect the Ending

You can blame anyone in the coin puzzle, but your choice could influence the ending you get. The weight of other choices are heavier though, so it should be safe to use any of the coins.

Coin Locations in Wood Side Apartments

All three coins needed for the puzzle are in Wood Side Apartments, but in different locations. Here are all the coins and how to get them:

• Man/Sword in Room 206, behind 208
• Woman/Grave Coin in the Dumpsters
• Flower/Snake Coin in the Pool Area

Man and Sword Coin Location

In the Room 206 Safe Behind Room 208

You get the Man and Sword Coin from a safe in Room 206 after solving a puzzle, but getting there is puzzle on its own. Below is a step-by-step guide to getting the coin, but we also have a full Room 206 walkthrough if you need more details.

1. Get the Golden Apple Handle in Room 108.
2. Open the identical cabinet in Room 208.
3. Push the cabinet aside to get to Room 206.
4. Open the safe with the right combination. Turn the dial counterclockwise, clockwise, then counterclockwise again to 15 - 11 - 13 on light difficulty, and 13 - 7 - 11 on normal and hard.
5. Collect the coin and the key inside the safe.
6. Use the key to leave the room.

Woman and Grave Coin Location

In the Dumpsters Between Room 112 and 105

The Woman and Grave coin is located in the dumpsters between rooms 112 and 105, but it's not as easy as just picking the coin up. You'll need to unlodge the coin from a trash chute that is only accessible from the third floor.

Here's how to do it:

1. Go to Room 312 through a balcony in 310.
2. Crawl through small hole in the room.
3. Grab the Canned Juice.
4. Throw the Canned Juice down the trash chute in the same room to dislodge the coin.
5. Use the stairwell nearby to get to the first floor.
6. Collect the coin from the ground near the dumpsters.

Flower and Snake Coin Location

In a Stroller in the Outdoor Pool Area

The last coin is in a baby stroller surrounded by five enemies in the Outdoor Pool Area. You get there from Room 116, the same room where you'd encounter Eddie.

Coin Puzzle Location

Behind the Reception of Wood Side Apartments

This Coin Puzzle cabinet is in a room directly behind the Receptionist Area, and is available as soon as players enter Wood Side Apartments. Even though you find the cabinet early on, the coins needed for the puzzle require a full exploration of the area.
