The original Silent Hill 2 game was a hit for including some tough puzzles and various unique locations to explore. The remake is no exception, as you will find a puzzle at every corner. Once you reach Brookhaven Hospital and make your way to the Director’s Office, you will find a strange hand that requires several bracelets to solve the puzzle. In this guide we have put up all the details on how to solve the Hand Bracelet puzzle in Silent Hill 2
Hand Bracelet Puzzle Location In Silent Hill 2 Remake
The Hand Bracelet Puzzle kicks off when you investigate the desk in the Director’s Office on Floor 2F in Brookhaven Hospital. You will get to the hospital as part of the main story, so you don’t have to fret if you haven’t reached this far. After exploring the hospital for a bit, you will eventually reach the door of the Director’s Office. Enter this door and investigate the desk straight ahead to find a morbid hand, which will start the Hand Bracelet Puzzle in Silent Hill 2 Remake.
Hand Bracelet Puzzle Solution In Silent Hill 2 Remake
To solve the Hand Bracelet puzzle, you must locate three different bracelets scattered across the hospital and place them in the correct order on the hand:
- Top: Bloodstained Bracelet
- Middle: Marked Bracelet
- Bottom: Filthy Bracelet
After the bracelets have been placed in the above order, rotate them till you can find some numbers engraved on each bracelet. Make the numbers line up one after the other so it looks like the code 92 – 45 – 71. If done correctly, the hand will open up and drop the Director’s Storage Room Key. You can then use the key on the locked door that is opposite the Director’s Office save point and solve another puzzle within in Silent Hill 2 Remake.
Let’s now get into how to find all three bracelets to solve this puzzle.
Marked Bracelet Location In Silent Hill 2 Remake
Make your way to floor 1F and get into the corridor between Medical Records and Restroom. Once you are in the marked location above, look to your right to find a vent. Crawl through the vent to enter the Medical Records room and pick up the Marked Bracelet.
Filthy Bracelet Location In Silent Hill 2 Remake
You need to solve the X-Ray puzzle on floor 3F and get the combination code for Room D1, which is also located on floor 3F. It is a pretty complicated one and you can check the guide if you want to run through it fully. However, if you are looking to move ahead and advance the story, the combination code for the lock is 4-37-12, and once you are inside you have to investigate the bed to get the Filthy Bracelet.
Bloodstained Bracelet Location In Silent Hill 2 Remake
You get the Bloodstained Bracelet by draining the pool on floor 1F, but you may have guessed by now that it is not going to be as simple as that, and you would be right. To drain the pool, you must first locate the pool drain. For that, you have to get the Maintenance key, which for some reason is within a drain inside the Pharmacy! Below are the steps to find all the items required to fish out the Maintenance Key

- Now make your way down to Floor 1F and enter the Dayroom.
- Head over to the very back of the room and exit out the open window to reach the Garden.
- Walk around to the back of the Garden to find a Greenhouse.
- Enter the Greenhouse and turn around to find an entryway that leads to the Pool.
- Investigate the room between the Restroom and the Shower Room to get the Medical Tube on the sink.
- Combine the Medical Tube with the Bent Needle in your inventory to get the Medical Tube with Bent Needle Attached key item.
- On the same floor, head over to the Pharmacy and investigate the drain pipe near the sink.
- There will be a short cutscene where you will use the tube and needle to fish out the Maintenance Key.
- Head back to the pool area and investigate the marked location on the map: this is the location of the Pool Pump.
- Use the Maintenance Key on the latch and turn the knob of the Pool Pump to drain the pool
