Opening the auxiliary lines in Part 6 of Silent Hill: Townfall presents a complex, yet ultimately straightforward puzzle that can be solved with the correct approach. This guide will walk you through the steps needed to overcome this obstacle.
Accessing the Auxiliary Room
Before you can tackle the puzzle, you need to reach the auxiliary room. The key to this room is located within the command center. The code to access the command center is 0825. Inside, you will find the key. Once you have it, proceed to the elevator. Be prepared for encounters with 'The Weight' and other monsters as you make your way to the elevator. A quick dash as the doors close can help you escape.
Upon reaching the next floor, you will encounter smaller enemies that can be bypassed. It is advisable to close the auxiliary room door behind you once inside.
Solving the Auxiliary Lines Puzzle
Inside the auxiliary room, you will find a pipe system with several levers along the walls, a locker, and a desk with a terminal. The first step is to open the locker, which contains a floppy disk. Insert this disk into the terminal. The terminal will then display a series of lines, which serves as the clue for the puzzle. This clue indicates whether each lever needs to be set to a horizontal or vertical position. Not all levers are represented; only those adjacent to one, two, or three white lines on the pipes correspond to the clue.
Auxiliary Line 1
The first line of levers is located on the wall near the locker, indicated by a white arrow at the bottom. You will need to set the levers adjacent to singular white lines on the pipes. The correct sequence is:
- Vertical
- Horizontal
- Vertical
- Vertical
- Horizontal
- Vertical
- Horizontal
- Vertical
- Vertical
If completed correctly, the light next to the final lever will illuminate green.
Auxiliary Line 2
For the second line, the starting point is on the wall adjacent to the middle white arrow. The pattern of levers to be set is:
- Vertical
- Horizontal
- Horizontal
- Horizontal
- Vertical
- Horizontal
- Horizontal
- Vertical
- Vertical
Upon successful completion, the light next to the last lever will turn green.
Auxiliary Line 3
The third line begins on the wall opposite the first two, positioned above the second green light. The correct configuration for this line is:
- Horizontal
- Vertical
- Vertical
- Vertical
- Horizontal
- Vertical
- Horizontal
- Vertical
With this line correctly set, the final light will turn green, completing the puzzle. After solving the auxiliary lines, you can exit the room. Be cautious of any remaining enemies, return to the elevator, and make your way back to the control room, navigating past 'The Weight' and other threats to conclude this section of the command center.
