Complete Silent Hill: Downpour Part 7 walkthrough, including the game machine puzzle and objective to change into new clothes.
Walkthrough
- 1After defeating the Screamer, use your piece of wire to power the lift.
- 2Explore the rooms accessible from the lift. The room to the left contains a cleaver in the drawers and a [FIRST AID KIT] in the cabinet.
- 3In the room across from the first, find CLOTHES on the bed. Pick them up to complete an objective.
- 4You will also find the [POLICE BADGE] and [RUSTY KEY] items with the clothes.
- 5Head back outside and follow the drag marks to a house containing the game machine.
- 6Follow the power cables from the game machine outside to a generator.
- 7Warning: A Screamer will attack you once you pass the chainlink fence near the generator.
- 8Shake off the Screamer's attack, then either kill or incapacitate it.
- 9Turn the generator's crank to restore power to the shack.
- 10Head back inside and use your game tokens on the game machine to play.
- 11To solve the game machine puzzle, hit 'Activate' to raise the water level. Guide the ball to one of the glowing '(!)' holes at the top, avoiding the non-glowing holes.
- 12EASY mode solution: The first ball can head left. The middle ball goes straight right and up. The third ball sticks to the right side.
- 13NORMAL mode solution: Aim the first ball up the middle to the left hole. The second ball goes straight up, hits wood, skirts right of a non-glowing hole, then goes northwest to the middle hole. The third ball follows a similar path but goes further up, to the right of a second non-glowing hole, before reaching its destination.
Tips
- Screamer enemies can now be encountered in the real world without introductory (cutscene (a non-interactive cinematic the game plays automatically)) sequences.
- When a Screamer uses its scream ability at range, you must wiggle the left analog stick (control stick) to break free.
- Reader Charles Johnson noted that if you activate the generator and return to the ticket machine *before* picking up the clothes with the badge and key, the Screamer may not appear. This might be related to carrying the Mourning Badge.
