Solving the Auxiliary Lines puzzle in Part 6 of Silent Hill: Townfall requires a methodical approach to a series of valves. This puzzle, found within the AUX Room, is crucial for progressing past the command console.
Upon entering the AUX Room, players will find an AUX Disk, a PC, a locker containing Alcohol and Gauze, and numerous valves lining the walls. The first step is to insert the AUX Disk into the PC and then access the 'Auxiliary Lines' file. This file serves as the key, with 'I' indicating a valve that should be open and '_' denoting a valve that should remain closed.
The valves are not arranged in a simple grid. They are positioned along directional arrows painted on the walls, indicating the path players must follow. To solve the puzzle, begin at the wall nearest the storage cabinet. The valves should be approached row by row, starting with the bottom row (row 1), then the middle row (row 2), and finally the top row (row 3). Within each row, follow the directional arrows as they guide you back and forth around the room.
White lines painted on the pipes connected to the valves can assist in identifying which valve corresponds to which row. When the lights on the wall change from red to green, the puzzle has been successfully completed.
For clarity, the specific valve configurations for each row are as follows: Row 1: I _ I I _ I _ I I Row 2: I _ _ _ I _ _ I I Row 3: _ I I I _ I _ I
Once the valves are set correctly, the auxiliary lines will be manually flushed, allowing progression. This puzzle is a key step in navigating St. Amelia.
