Rumor: GTA 6 internally delayed to 2026, Jason Schreier cannot confirm or deny (yet)

There’s a rumor about Grand Theft Auto 6 that people really don’t want to be true.

How to get the lantern in Silent Hill 2 Remake

The lantern is found inside the Wood Side Apartments, one of the main locations you’ll explore on your journey through Silent Hill. To get to this area, you must complete the Jukebox Puzzle in Neely’s Bar. Repairing the Jukebox will give you the Neely’s Bar Key, which will give you access to the alley behind the bar. This alley is where you will find the key to the Wood Side Apartments. With the key, go to the west side of Katz Street to enter the Wood Side Apartments.

Once inside the Apartments, go left to find a staircase that leads to the second floor. Go up the stairs, go through the second floor hallway door and turn right. There will be a light shining from an open door leading to room 202.

Inside the room are several mannequins, one of which emits a bright light. The light comes from a flashlight. Interact with him to get the Lantern, but be prepared as a new enemy known as the Mannequin will attack you. Looking closer at the mannequin the lantern was taken from, you’ll notice that it wears the same outfit as James’ late wife, Mary.

The function of the Flashlight is very simple, as it will illuminate the area in front of James. The flashlight can be turned off and used to strategically avoid monsters. If you are in a dark area, turn off your flashlight and radio to stay invisible and silent. If you do this near monsters and walk slowly, you can sneak past them. Of course, doing this makes it difficult to see, and it’s very possible that you’ll accidentally bump into one of the monsters, so do this at your own risk.
