What is the Silent Hill 2 moth puzzle combination? The moth room in Silent Hill 2 is one of the more memorable moments as one of the apartment rooms that doesn't look like every other – and in which James blindly reaches into a gruesome, squelchy hole.
In the Silent Hill 2 review for more about the horror remake.
Silent Hill 2 moth room puzzle
The key to this puzzle is ensuring you find every moth display – there are five: the chair, two plinths, and two wall-mounted displays. Count the skulls, circles, and crescent moons on the moths' wings, and use the answers and padlock sums to solve the lock puzzle.
In our playthrough, there were two skulls, five circles, and eight moons. The markings by the lock, as seen in the image above, then tell us that the first answer is the equivalent to the moons minus the circles: 3. The second digit is skulls plus circles: 7. Finally, you need circles minus skulls: 3. The combination lock solution, therefore, is 373.
Naturally, if you're missing any displays, the numbers won't add up. Two of them in particular are easy to miss: the one behind the chair and the one in the other room. There is a cabinet that you must move out of the way to find the wall-mounted display in the second room.
Now you've solved the Silent Hill 2 moth puzzle and are through the door, you'll see the faithful recreation of the moth room from the original Silent Hill 2 roach room puzzle, and many more.
