How to solve the director’s book puzzle in Silent Hill 2 Remake

You will find the book puzzle in the director’s storage room on the 2nd floor of Brookhaven Hospital. This room is accessed after completing the hand puzzle in the principal’s office, which involves the strange mannequin hand on the desk in the center of the room. This puzzle requires you to find 3 bracelets hidden throughout the hospital and then display a code on your arm to open your closed hand and get the key it contains. Gameranx has a complete guide on where to find all the bracelets and how to complete the Director’s Hand puzzle.

Once you have all the items, go back to the Hand and place the Bloodstained Bracelet at the top, the Branded Bracelet in the middle, and the Dirty Bracelet at the bottom. Rotate each bracelet until the sequence 92 – 45 – 71 is displayed from top to bottom. This will open the hand and you will receive the key to the director’s storage room.

The storage room is behind the door to the right of the table. Inside there is a Security Button that must be added to the Director’s Vault to open and a bookshelf with several books that are out of order. These books must be rearranged to help you discover the Vault Code and gain access to the hospital roof.

There are drawings on the spines of the books that, when placed in the right places, will represent a fire-breathing tiger. There are also alchemical symbols at the bottom of each book. We will use these items to tell you the correct order of books to makeover the image. This sequence is the same across all playthroughs and puzzle difficulties. Once the books are in the correct order, cross-reference the location of the image and the numbers that were on the Bracelets to discover the Vault code!
