Silent Hill 2 Remake Hospital Padlock code and combination
The padlock in the hospital reception office in Silent Hill 2 is a puzzle based on pictures
The Silent Hill 2 Remake Hospital padlock code and combination is your first priority upon entering the Brookhaven Hospital, with a reception area keybox that needs to be opened by solving a puzzle focused around the main lobby. Based around examining the photos hung up near the entrance, combined with a clue scribbled on a Nurses' Memo, we'll explain how to solve the puzzle of the keybox and figure out the padlock combination code in Silent Hill 2 Remake.
How to open the Hospital Reception Area padlock code in Silent Hill 2 Remake
The Silent Hill 2 Remake hospital reception padlock code is 724. As with the previous Silent Hill 2 Remake motel safe code, you should be able to open the padlock and keybox without having to complete the puzzle with that code alone, but if you want to find it organically, I can explain.
If you head to the East side of the ground floor Hospital, you can break in through the window of Exam Room Two, climb through, and get up to the Exam Room 3 via the connecting door. Inside you'll find the Nurse's Memo, which gives you the clue you need:
"Once you're in the lobby, just look around. Now remember.
Nurses. Doctors. Trees."
Heading to the hospital entrance lobby, you can examine the photographs hanging around and see all of those things will be present in them. The code to the padlock is simply the total of each added together - seven nurses, two doctors, four trees.
Enter 724 into the padlock and you'll get the Basement Key, which you can use by heading down the stairs in the Southeast corner of the hospital.
