How to Solve Silent Hill 2 Remake Typewriter Puzzle

The solution to this puzzle is relatively easy. All you need to do is read the sheet of paper jammed inside of the typewriter. There, you’ll find a series of text that repeats and bleeds into itself. But there is one word that sticks out above the rest. Sick. This is the word you want to punch into the typewriter. Yes, the puzzle is actually that easy! Granted, finding the solution is a lot more complicated on the Hard puzzle difficulty option.

Outside of being a relatively simple puzzle, it’s a nice reference to horror films that definitely inspired Silent Hill 2 in some shape or form. Keep in mind, as mentioned previously, this solution is a lot harder to figure out on harder difficulties. You can, of course, change the difficulty of your puzzles at any time. As it stands, the difficulty of the game and it’s puzzles will not affect your ending.

So if you feel like any puzzles are a bit too challenging, don’t be afraid to knock the difficulty down. There’s no shame in that. That said, the solutions to puzzles are mostly the same as it would be on normal or light. This puzzle being one of those cases.

The Silent Hill 2 remake will come out on October 8, 2024 for the PS5 and Windows PC.
