The Director’s Office in the Silent Hill 2 Remake has a safe and some books that are connected. Solving one will help you solve the other. This is one of the hardest puzzles in the game so far. In this guide, we’ll show you how to open the safe. After opening the safe you will get a key which will gain you access to the long-awaited rooftop area in the office. And more puzzles are waiting for you in the area.
How to find the Safe in the Director’s Office
The Safe is one of the first things you’ll see in the Director’s Office, but it’s one of the last things you’ll solve. You can’t start working on the Safe until you’ve finished the Hand puzzle in the same room.

Solve the Hand Puzzle in the Director’s Office – Silent Hill 2 Remake
How to Open the Safe
- Place the bracelets on the hand: This will cause the hand to release the Director’s Storage Room Key.
- Unlock the storage room door: Use the key on the locked door to the west of the main office.
- Find the Safe Button: Inside the storage room, you’ll discover the Safe Button.
- Identify symbol-number relationships: Examine the books with symbols on their spines. The arrangement of these books will reveal which numbers correspond to which symbols.
- Determine the safe code: The bracelets on the hand will provide you with six numbers. Use the symbol-number relationships from the books to translate these numbers into symbols.
- Open the safe: Return to the safe, insert the Safe Button, and enter the six symbols that correspond to the numbers on the hand. This will open the safe and give you the key needed to continue the game.
The books in the director’s office need to be arranged in the correct order, like the picture of the fire-breathing lion. Put the books in order on the shelves so that they make a picture of a fire-breathing lion. Start with the tail on the left side and end with the lion’s head on the right. The order is the same for all difficulty levels. Once they’re in the right order, you’ll know which symbols match which numbers.
The code on the hand is 92-45-71. Go to the safe and press the buttons that match those numbers, in that order.
After entering the code you will find the key to the rooftop area. Go up the stairs on the third floor, which is in the top left corner. Use the Rooftop Key to open the door and go to the only room on the roof.
