It’s not just about finding the hidden bracelets, but also understanding how to properly arrange and rotate them to reveal a crucial code. If you’re having trouble figuring out where to find the bracelets or how to complete this puzzle, you’ve come to the right place.

Where to Find the Bracelets in Silent Hill 2 Remake

Before you can solve the puzzle, you’ll need to locate the three specific bracelets scattered throughout Brookhaven Hospital. These items are necessary to unlock a mysterious key in the Director’s Office. Let’s go over the locations one by one.

1. The Marked Bracelet Location

Your journey begins by locating the Marked Bracelet. To do this, you’ll first need the L1 Key, which is hidden in the Nurse’s Lounge on the second floor (2F) of the hospital. Here’s how to retrieve it:

• Once you have the key, head to the L1 Room.
• Use the key to enter and then push the cart to climb over into another room.
• After crossing the room, you’ll need to head into the Utility Room.
• Look for a hole in the wall here that will lead you to the first floor (1F) of the hospital.
• Head toward the Medical Records Room, where you’ll need to squeeze through a gap at the bottom of the wall to enter.

In the corner of this room, you’ll find the Marked Bracelet on the floor. Simple enough, right? Now onto the next one.

2. The Bloodstained Bracelet Location

The second bracelet is trickier, but we’ll guide you through every step. To get the Bloodstained Bracelet, your ultimate destination is the Pool on the first floor (1F), but it involves a bit of a detour.

Here’s what you need to do:

• Start by heading to the Women’s Locker Room on the second floor (2F).
• Inside, you’ll interact with a teddy bear to pick up a Bent Needle. Make sure to grab the Shotgun while you’re there too it might come in handy!
• With the Bent Needle in hand, head to the Dayroom on the first floor (1F). To access this area, you’ll need the 1F Inner Ward Key, which you can find in Examination Room 5 on the third floor (3F).
• Once in the Dayroom, make your way into the Pharmacy and exit into the Garden.
• Now, head to the Pool. There’s a locked Maintenance Grid, but before you can access it, you’ll need to complete a few more tasks.
• Go to the Showers near the Pool and grab the Medical Tube from the sink.
• Combine the Medical Tube with the Bent Needle to create a fishing tool.
• Head back to the Pharmacy and use this new tool to retrieve the Maintenance Key from the drain.
• Return to the Pool, unlock the Maintenance Grid, and interact with it to drain the pool.

Now, you’ll see a peculiar eye painting on the north side of the pool. Use your trusty Steel Pipe to smash the wall and claim the Bloodstained Bracelet hidden inside.

Just one more to go!

3. The Filthy Bracelet Location

The final bracelet is the Filthy Bracelet, and this one requires solving a puzzle involving an X-ray viewer on the third floor (3F).

Here’s what to do:

• Head to the X-Ray Viewer Room and solve the puzzle there.
• Solving the puzzle will give you the code needed to unlock D1, a door across the hall.
• Once inside D1, you’ll finally be able to grab the Filthy Bracelet.

That’s it! You’ve now collected all three bracelets.

How to Solve the Bracelet Puzzle in the Director’s Office

With all three bracelets in your possession, it’s time to solve the puzzle. Head back to the Director’s Office to complete this final step.

Here’s the breakdown:

• On the desk, you’ll see a hand where the bracelets need to be placed.
• The bracelets should be arranged from top to bottom in the following order: Bloodstained, Marked, and Filthy.
• Now, rotate the bracelets to reveal a numerical code.

The correct code should show 92, 45, and 71 when you align the numbers on the bracelets. Once the code is correctly displayed, the hand will break, revealing the Director’s Office Storage Room Key.

Success! Now you can use the key to solve the Director’s Office safe code.
