1. Head to the Next Room and Investigate the Area

Dark Shrine Treasure Hall Mural Room

Hinako wakes up back to the Dark Shrine after her last ordeal and is tasked once again by the Fox Mask to follow him. Head through the hallways to reach a Hokora Shrine and a nearby gate. Open the gate to find a huge mural that you can interact with.

After interacting with it, go around the room to find some clues and some notes about the mural as this will become a puzzle for the area that you need to solve.

All Hokora Shrine Locations

2. Heed Revelations and Find the Crests

Shrine Rooms Fox

Go to the table right of the mural and read the notes there, tasking you to find three crests to complete the mural. There is a door to the left that you must enter with fox statues afterwards.

Upon entering, look for the fox statue on the left side to pick up a note and the fox will change their pointing position. Follow this direction to the door they are pointing at to proceed.

Areas Further Have No Map Location

Unknown Area

Note that this part of the Dark Shrine has no map available whatsoever, making exploration difficult. You must instead rely on individually exploring the area to get all the unlockables.

3. Find the Black Sparrow Crest

Shrine Rooms Black Sparrow

The first Crest is located at the end of this room you entered, with an Oi-Omoi blocking the way in front. Checking the other rooms also reveals some Blade Legs that will ambush you. Take out these monsters with your Fox Arm.

Head straight to the opposite side of the room to get the Black Sparrow Crest, then exit via the blocked wall to the right using your Focus Sense acquired in the last Dark Shrine level. This leads you back to the mural room.

4. Find the White Sparrow Crest

Now, you will need the second crest, a White Sparrow to place on the mural wall. Just like the Black Sparrow Crest, you need to take out some guarding enemies in a separate room.

How to Use White Sparrow Crest

How to Get the White Sparrow Crest

Steps on How to Get the White Sparrow Crest
1
Take the right door from the mural and you will be back to the Fox Statue room, you can check the different fox statues but don't forget to head to the door ahead of where you came from to reach the crest.
2
You will enter the crest room this time around but you must take down the Drum Monster in front as well as another group of Blade Legs that appears afterwards. Take them both out then use your Focus Sense on the walls with bloody sigils to reveal another Blade Legs Monster to be also taken out.
3 White Sparrow Step 5
Once every enemy is removed, collect the crest from the table then leave the room via the left door. You will be looped back to the mural, leaving you with one more crest to find.

5. Find the Fox Mask Crest

The last crest you'll need is a Fox Mask, requiring you to enter the fox statue room one more time to find the correct door to go through and taking out enemies guarding the crest.

How to Use the Fox Crest

How to Get the Fox Mask Crest

Steps on How to Get the Fox Mask Crest
1
Head to the right door once again to enter the fox statue room, now more warped than it was before. Head to the leftmost corner door from the entrance to reach the correct crest room.
2
Keep on moving forward inside the room until you reach the crest table, but this time you will be fighting a Birthing Monster and some Blade Legs. Take them out to unlock the chest holding the Fox Mask Crest.
3
There will be a cutscene that happens after the fight, but the crest will be collected afterwards. Head right of the room to reach the exit.

6. Solve the Mural Puzzle

Silent Hill f Mural Puzzle

Return to the Mural puzzle and place all the crests you've collected in their correct spots. The solution to this puzzle will vary depending on the ending conditions you've currently met, though the goal is to arrange the crests according to the poem provided in your journal.

7. Go Through the Door

Once the mural puzzle has been solved, it melts into a grand gate that Hinako can pass through. Watch the cutscene that follows after and you will head back to Ebisugaoka.
