Tarot Cards:

  • High Priestess: Marked with II. Depicts a priestess between two pillars.
  • Hanged Man: Marked with XII. Depicts a man hanging from one foot on a wooden cross.
  • Moon: Marked with XVIII. Depicts a moon (full and crescent) above a wolf, dog, and crayfish.
  • Fool: Marked with 0 (or sometimes 1). Depicts a vagabond with a bindle and a dog. Also known as the Jester.
  • Eye of Night: Marked with XXII. A fictional card for the game, depicting an eye in the sky.

Easy Difficulty Solution:

Match the images from the sketchbook to the tarot cards and place them in the corresponding slots. The sketchbook shows:

  • Vagabond with a blanket stick and a dog (Fool)
  • Crescent moon above two dogs and a crayfish (Moon)
  • Large eye amongst stars (Eye of Night)
  • Man hanging upside-down from a cross of wood (Hanged Man)
  • Priestess with a cross and wearing a crown (High Priestess)

The corresponding door slots are:

  • Slot 1 (Leftmost): Hanged Man
  • Slot 2: Fool
  • Slot 3: Eye of Night
  • Slot 4: Moon
  • Slot 5 (Rightmost): High Priestess

Normal Difficulty Clues:

The riddle provides several hints:

  • You need five magic cards to open the door.
  • There is something in each row, and three would be too hard to fit.
  • The upside-down man (Hanged Man) has no one to his right or left.
  • The moon is up above, and twinkling light (Eye of Night) sits like a crown on the head of a crazy clown (Fool).
  • The priestess (High Priestess) always looks up at the night sky.
  • The thing in the night (Eye of Night) is not on your right; turn to the left to keep it in sight.
Tips
  • Tarot cards are an early form of playing cards.
  • The Eye of Night is a fictional card created for Silent Hill 3.
  • Pay close attention to the imagery in the sketchbook and the wording of the riddles.
