One of the main things the Silent Hill franchise is known for is its amazing attention to the puzzles. The puzzles do not feel unfair, but also bring a level of excitement, allowing players to link everything and deduce the solution.
During the second chapter in Silent Hill f, players will find themselves inside the Shrine Path, where they will come across the first puzzle. Though this survival horror puzzle might look confusing, the answer is very simple, and figuring out the placement of one item will ultimately help you solve the whole thing. The guide below offers information on the solution of the Altar Puzzle in Silent Hill f.
How to Complete the Altar Puzzle in Shrine Path in Silent Hill f
Now, after you look through the puzzle and check out the journal for hints, you will find wordings that don’t actually give you any clues on how to solve the puzzle.
Story Difficulty Solution
First, you must look at the pedestal; you will notice that each one of them has an image painted below it. You don’t need to memorize them or anything, just have a look and grab any one of the items in front of you. The string bow on every item should match the image on the pedestals. The correct order for this is:
- The Rat goes on the back left pedestal.
- The Pink Kimono goes on the front left.
- The Vase needs to be in the middle.
- Put the Wrapped Fish on the back right.
- Place the Paper Fan covered in a leaf on the front right.
Hard Difficulty Solution
For the Hard difficulty solution, pick up the item, examine it, and rotate it. Now, the bow on each item might throw you off, but you need to ignore that.
Start rotating the items, and you will spot markings on these items as well. These markings are the same as the ones on the pedestal.
Now all you have to do is place them in the correct order, which is:
- The Wrapped Fish goes on the back left pedestal.
- The Paper Fan goes on the front left.
- The Vase needs to be in the middle.
- Put the Pink Kimono on the back right.
- Place the Rat covered in a leaf on the front right.
Lost in the Fog Difficulty Solution

With this, the puzzle will be completed, and the next section involves a running section where you have to leave the Grand Hall quickly before you fully lose all of your Sanity.
