How to get to Silent Hill?

At the beginning of the Silent Hill 2 Remake adventure, search James Sunderland’s vehicle to find a map of South Vale. Then follow the sign near the stairs to go down and reach a cemetery. Continue by pushing a gate in the distance to reach the Silent Hill Ranch. Further on the path is blocked by a closed Auto Parts gate. To open it, examine the Auto Parts garage at the end of the path, on the left.

You’ll find an open door on the side. Enter the building and interact with the desk drawer to get the Auto Parts Key . Use it to open the gate. Then follow the path to Silent Hill to trigger a cutscene and pick up a map of Eastern South Vale.

Search the garden center across from the sign to discover a strange red mark on the ground. Follow it to an intersection that will lead you into an alley. Cross the alley to arrive at a garden where the gate is covered in stains.

Push the gate to reveal a garage where the red trail stops. Crawl through the opening to get inside. Then sneak through the crack to enter the house. Follow the buzzing sound to find a radio on a chair in one of the rooms . Once you get it, a fight will start. Familiarize yourself with the combat controls to eliminate the threat. Then sneak into the room on the left to find a window. Use your weapon to break it and get out.

Outside, you can now use your weapon to break the windows and collect resources. In the alley, search the body on the ground to find a matchbox from Neely’s Bar . Using your map, you can easily locate the bar to the south and head there. Be careful, as threats await you along the way.

How to solve the Neely’s Bar riddle?

Search the bar to find a note on the counter. Interact with the jukebox to trigger a cutscene. You realize that you will need to repair the jukebox. Two leads seem to open: the Groovy store and the Saul Street residences, mentioned in the note. Use your map to locate these locations.

Let’s start with the residences. Head south to find a door to enter. In the hallway of the entrance, you will find the building map hanging on the wall on the right. Then push the cabinet nearby to access the reception and retrieve the key to apartment 5 .

Use the stairs to go upstairs and reach Apartment #5. Enter the apartment and squeeze through the cracks to access a second hallway. Go through the window to exit outside, then take the fire escape to reach the apartment above.

Examine the bathroom to find a hole. Interact with it to retrieve a Jukebox Button . Once retrieved, exit through the roof and use the ladder to return to the street through a gate. Now head towards the Groovy Music store, marked on your map.

Once there, watch out for the threats and use your weapon to break the window inside and access the lounge. Examine the table in the center to retrieve a piece of vinyl and some glue . Then head towards the Texan Cafe on your map to search the counter and interact with the cash register. You retrieve a Bar Coin .

Return to Neely’s Bar to operate the Jukebox. Start by combining the two pieces of vinyl with the glue to repair the object. Move the green element horizontally to push the red element inside. Once pushed, move the green element so you can lower the blue element. Then move the green element towards you to place the vinyl. Above place the button and the wedge to operate the machine. Press the C and 2 buttons to play the song.

How to get to Wood Side Residences?

Use the bar key to open a door near the counter. Exit into the alley and go through another door. Examine the jacket on the ground near this door to retrieve the keys to the Wood Side residence. You’ll find the residence at the end of Katz Street . Go through the door to exit the streets of South Vale.
