A detailed walkthrough for Part 34 of Silent Hill: Downpour, covering item locations, puzzle solutions, and enemy encounters within the Overlook Penitentiary.
Walkthrough
- 1In the initial area, check cabinets for 2x [FIRST AID KIT] and gun racks for 2x [SHOTGUN SHELLS]. If you don't have the shotgun or small key, one will be provided here. Check a drawer for [PISTOL BULLETS] and the [FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE] note.
- 2Watch the monitors until they focus on the 'Checkout Zone'. Press the revealed button to open doors.
- 3Head through the 'Checkout Zone'. Use your access card on the left door; it will short out, allowing you to slide through. Check lockers for the [PRISON OF NO RETURN] report and another [FIRST AID KIT]. A drawer to the left contains the [BLOCK B MAP].
- 4Enter the control room. On the left counter, UNEQUIP all your gear to pass through the metal detector.
- 5Press the button to open the door ahead. Circle around past the metal detector to retrieve your belongings.
- 6After collecting your gear, walk through the security door, which will close behind you. Continue forward, and a scene will trigger, initiating a 3-on-1 fight against a Juggernaut and two Minions.
- 7(Optional, recommended for non-no-kill playthroughs) Defeat the Juggernaut and Minions. The shotgun is effective. The first room to the south contains the [I'M COMING BABY] note. An axe can be found in the large room to the north.
- 8Head south. To the left is a UV light, and to the right is a coded door with a keypad. The boarded-up room at the end of the far-right hallway requires the axe to break down. Inside, a cabinet contains a [FIRST AID KIT].
- 9Enter the room on the left. Note the three machines, each with a red (off) button. A [FIRST AID KIT] is in a cabinet.
- 10Proceed to the next room to the north. Move the vent on the left. On a desk, find the [NAILGUN]. Another desk has the [WORK RELEASE] note. A cabinet contains another [FIRST AID KIT].
- 11In the next room, collect the [ALMOST DONE] note and the [FORENSIC FLASHLIGHT].
- 12The goal of this area is to use the UV light to find numbers for the keypad code. In the UV room, a '2' is visible on the ceiling (on EASY puzzle mode, this number is absent). There are five numbers to find in total (four on easy). Follow footprints; when they circle, a number is nearby. Be aware that machines may randomly turn on, attracting enemies. Turn off machines if they activate.
