Discover how to find the Laser Pistol in Silent Hill: Townfall. Follow our step-by-step guide to solve the bookcase puzzle and unlock the hidden room.
Alright, let's talk about finding that Laser Pistol. It's not exactly lying around, but it's not too tricky either. First things first, when you're in the area with the bug collection, make sure you take a moment to examine it. After that, head over to the bookshelf nearby. You'll need to interact with it to start a little puzzle.
The Bookcase Puzzle:
This one's pretty straightforward. You'll see the books highlighted. Use your right analog stick to get them lined up, then use the left analog stick to slide all the books over to the left side of the shelf. This action will reveal a yellow switch on the right. Go ahead and press that switch, and bam! The bookshelf will swing open, revealing a hidden room. Inside, grab the MAP OF OUR HOUSE from the wooden shelf. The door in this hidden room is locked, so just head back out into the hall.
Now, walk towards the door at the end of the hall that you saw earlier. It's locked, so unfortunately, we have to backtrack downstairs. As Alex starts heading down, a cutscene will play. It's a bit of a family reunion, you know? After that, Alex will get the OLD REVOLVER. It's a bit odd because the game doesn't explicitly tell you you got it, so just check your inventory to confirm. Now, let's head down to the basement.
Objective Update:
- Investigate the basement.
Once you're in the basement, you can't do anything with the light switch, so just head down the stairs. Be warned, the basement is flooded. As soon as Alex steps into the water at the bottom, another cutscene will kick off. Right after that, you'll be ambushed by a Lurker. Get your knife ready! You'll want to use an A, A, A, X combo to deal with it. A good strategy for fighting Lurkers is to run to their side, let them lunge and miss, then quickly move in and attack while they're recovering. Taking this guy down will also net you the 'Lurk No More' achievement (10G).
