Silent Hill 2 Remake – How To Turn on the Hospital Generator

by

As a seasoned gamer with countless hours under my belt, I can confidently say that the Silent Hill 2 Remake has been a rollercoaster of horror and intrigue. The hospital generator puzzle was a brain-teasing challenge that tested my gaming skills to the limit.

In the remake of Silent Hill 2, the hospital’s generator plays a crucial role. It’s responsible for operating the elevator in Brookhaven Hospital, allowing access to various floors. Additionally, this generator is essential for activating certain doors and systems throughout the hospital as well.

Starting the generator ahead of time ensures that you won’t find yourself stranded later in the game, especially during transitions between levels, although it may not affect other parts of the game right away. Here’s a guide on how to activate the hospital generator in the remake of Silent Hill 2.

How To Turn on the Hospital Generator in Silent Hill 2 Remake

Before you can access the generator, you first need to locate the basement key. This is tied to a puzzle on the hospital’s first floor (1F).

The initial task involves figuring out a combination lock riddle located at the front desk, and the answer varies based on the game’s complexity level you have chosen.

  • Standard difficulty – The code is based on interpreting the number of specific items, such as nurses, doctors, and trees, depicted in photos scattered around the reception area. For example, if you see seven nurses, two doctors, and four trees, your code would be 7-2-4.
  • Hard Difficulty – This puzzle requires more interpretation. Instead of counting the nurses, doctors, and trees in the photos, you’ll need to interpret additional hints found in nearby notes. These clues might involve adjusting the numbers precisely, requiring you to pay close attention to any context provided. This means that even if you see seven nurses, you might have to reduce the count by one or more, giving you a code like 1-5-2.

After entering the right password, you’ll get the Basement Access Key. Utilize this key to descend to the basement through a stairway located on the southeastern part of the first floor (1F). Keep in mind that there may be adversaries in the hallway before you reach the generator.

If you don’t have any firearms yet, you can depend on early melee weapons such as the Steel Pipe for fighting. Although they necessitate close-quarter combat, they are effective against enemies even in hospital hallways.

The generator is situated in a specific room down in the basement, but it won’t work until you fill it with fuel. Remember where this room is so you can come back later once you’ve collected the required items. To supply the generator with fuel, locate an empty can first.

As a fan, I’d say: Make your way down to Room 0.10 in the basement, known as the Boiler Room. You’ll find the can tucked away in a corner there, so be sure to look carefully. Once you’ve filled the can with fuel, head over to the Laundry Storage area, that’s Room 0.5. In this room, you can push a laundry cart into another space, specifically Room 0.8.

As I venture forth, I stumble upon a concealed route that takes me to a secret fuel tank (Room 0.9). I siphon some gas from this tank into an empty canister. Upon filling up my canister, I make my way back to the basement and use the gas to refuel the machine.

Once you’ve filled it up, just toggle the switch to start it running. This action will initiate the hospital’s elevator, allowing you to reach the upper levels.
