Navigate Toluca Prison in Silent Hill 2 (Remake). Find the Spiral Writing Key and solve the randomized number lock.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    From the entrance, look right for a box containing a syringe and find a note on the desk.
  2. 2
    Proceed through the opposite door, then through the gate doorway and turn left. Beware of an ambushing Lying Figure (an enemy type).
  3. 3
    Continue in the direction the enemy came from, and take the door on the right. Inside, find a box of ammo on the desk. To the left of the desk are three paintings; the middle one may offer context later.
  4. 4
    Exit the room and turn right until you reach another door.
  5. 5
    On the other side, you'll find a giant hole. Interact with it and choose to jump when prompted.
  6. 6
    You will land in an area where you can break open three of the four walls with the Steel Pipe (a melee weapon). Two walls lead nowhere, one leads to a door.
  7. 7
    Go through this door into a partially flooded area. Head right.
  8. 8
    Follow the path until you reach a platform above the water. A Lying Figure will rise from the water; defeat it before proceeding onto the platform.
  9. 9
    On the platform, take the only door on the right. Then, take the only door on the right again.
  10. 10
    In the next room, you'll see a rusted floor. Interact with the object to obtain the Spiral Writing Key (a key item).
  11. 11
    Exit the room through the door, which will now be locked. A number lock requires you to input one of the following randomized solutions: 239, 293, 329, 392, 923, or 932. Beware of Creepers (an enemy type) while attempting to unlock it.
  12. 12
    Once unlocked, proceed through the door and turn right. Use the Spiral Writing Key to unlock the gate. Interact with the gate and choose to jump when prompted.
  13. 13
    At the bottom, you'll be in a cafeteria. Turn around to find a health drink (a consumable item) at the counter.
  14. 14
    Turn around from the counter until a cutscene (a non-interactive cinematic the game plays automatically) (an in-game cinematic) is triggered.
  15. 15
    After the cutscene, head through the double doors in front of you, then through the open door ahead.
  16. 16
    Inside, you'll find a save point (a location to save your progress) to the right. To the right of the save point is a map of the Toluca Prison.
  17. 17
    To the right of the map is a glass shelf with a Hunting Rifle (a weapon), but access is locked and requires a key.
  18. 18
    Before leaving this room, look left of the Hunting Rifle for a note.
  19. 19
    To the right of the cabinet, find a box of ammo on the shelf.
  20. 20
    When exiting this room (the Armory), turn left and go up the stairs to the Chapel.
  21. 21
    At the top of the stairs, turn left toward the aisle. On the altar, you will find an item. Go to the opposite side to pick it up.
  22. 22
    Interact with the item to get The Heaviest Weight (a key item).
  23. 23
    Go left to a door leading into a smaller room. On the desk is a note.
  24. 24
    On the shelf to the left of the desk, find a syringe.
  25. 25
    Exit the Chapel and make your way toward Cell Block A.
  26. 26
    Upon entering Cell Block A, you will encounter a new type of enemy, the Spider-Mannequin. Flip the switch on the wall to your left. This will cause the Spider-Mannequins to crawl up the walls, and the lights will only be on for a short period.
  27. 27
    There are four areas to investigate: the door next to A1, the door next to A6, the door across from B3, and the bottom of the stairs near the entrance to the Yard. These doors have symbols representing animals or reptiles.
  28. 28
    The following cells contain items:
    • A3: Rifle rounds (a Lying Figure is inside the cell).
  29. 29
    A5: Handgun ammo.
  30. 30
    A8: Shotgun shells (a Mannequin enemy is inside the cell). Note: Use the hollow wall in B3 to access A9 and A8.
  31. 31
    B1: Health drink (a Mannequin enemy is inside the cell).
  32. 32
    B2: Shotgun shells.
  33. 33
    After checking the doors and collecting items from the cells, head toward the Yard area. Visibility will be limited.
  34. 34
    From the entrance to the Yard, head straight until you reach the scales.
  35. 35
    Interact with the scales to get a closer view. One weight is already on the left side. Place The Heaviest Weight from the Chapel on the scale to the right. The original weight will be placed on the scale to the left.
  36. 36
    Upon placing the weights, the needle will point to the Serpent symbol. You will need to re-enter the A-B block area.
