Silent Hill Thread

Can Yea Forums solve one of Silent Hill 3's puzzles?
You find 5 Shakespeare volumes.
#1 Romeo and Juliet: Anthology 1
#2 King Lear
#3 Macbeth
#4 Hamlet
#5 Othello
At the back there is a door you must access, but it is locked with a keypad that can only take 4 button inputs. Next to the keypad is the riddle itself, presented below:

>In here is a tragedy---
>art thou player or audience?
>Be as it may, the end doth remain:
>all go on only toward death.

>The first words at thy left hand:
>a false lunacy, a madly dancing man.
>Hearing unhearable words, drawn
>to a beloved's grave---and there,
>mayhap, true madness at last.

>As did this one, playing at death,
>find true death at the last.
>Killing a nameless lover, she
>pierced a heart rent by sorrow.

>Doth lie invite truth?
>Doth verity but wear the
>mask of falsehood?
>Ah, thou pitiful, thou
>miserable ones!

>Still amidst lies, though the end cometh not,
>wherefore yearn for death?
>Wilt thou attend to thy beloved?
>Truth and lies, life and death:
>a game of turning white to black
>and black to white.

>Is not a silence brimming with
>love more precious than flattery?
>A peaceful slumber preferred to
>a throne besmirched with blood?

>One vengeful man
>spilled blood for two;
>Two youths shed tears for three;
>Three witches disappeared thusly;
>And only the four keys remain.

>Ah, but verily...
>In here is a tragedy---
>art thou player or audience?
>There is nothing which cannot
>become a puppet of fate or an
>onlooker, peering into the cage."

So, with the riddle, can you tell me the button combination required as well as the proper order for the books?

Thats on hard puzzle difficulty only which you are obviously only playing if you want your comebrain pushed in its not like its expected of the average player. Any given Zelda game is harder than SH3.

>brainlet just wants
>Fair is foul, and foul is fair.
>Put these books out of order
C'mon.

>that feel when you realize that you're a brainlet and have to replay the game back up to this point at a lower puzzle difficulty

why couldn't the nurses look like this?

This puzzle was such nonsense. It's hard enough figuring out the order even if you're familiar with the works, but then at the end there's some kind of impossible number logic.

Remind me if this was right:

>The first words at thy left hand:
>a false lunacy, a madly dancing man.
>Hearing unhearable words, drawn
>to a beloved's grave---and there,
>mayhap, true madness at last.
Hamlet

>As did this one, playing at death,
>find true death at the last.
>Killing a nameless lover, she
>pierced a heart rent by sorrow.
Romeo and Juliet

>Doth lie invite truth?
>Doth verity but wear the
>mask of falsehood?
>Ah, thou pitiful, thou
>miserable ones!
King Lear?

>Still amidst lies, though the end cometh not,
>wherefore yearn for death?
>Wilt thou attend to thy beloved?
>Truth and lies, life and death:
>a game of turning white to black
>and black to white.
Othello

>Is not a silence brimming with
>love more precious than flattery?
>A peaceful slumber preferred to
>a throne besmirched with blood?
Macbeth?

>One vengeful man
>spilled blood for two;
>Two youths shed tears for three;
>Three witches disappeared thusly;
>And only the four keys remain.
This is where some nonsense occurs.

The line you listed as King Lear is just flavour nonsense. King Lear and Macbeth are on the same line
The math isn't that hard either. Spilled blood for two obviously refers to Hamlet, two youths shed for three is Romeo and Juliet, and the removal of Macbeth is explained in the last two lines
The puzzle works as something an 18 year old would know, since all of those works are taught in high school.

Hamlet
R&J
Macbeth
Othello

You failed. Forgot King Lear and didn't read the second to last paragraph.
Try again.

>The line you listed as King Lear is just flavour nonsense. King Lear and Macbeth are on the same line

This is just fucking bullshit.


>The math isn't that hard either. Spilled blood for two obviously refers to Hamlet, two youths shed for three is Romeo and Juliet, and the removal of Macbeth is explained in the last two lines
The references aren't the problem, it's the supposed instructions they represent. I can't even remember what they are, and I already know I'm looking for number manipulation. Without that knowledge I have serious doubts anyone could have solved this.

Are there any good horror games in the 3ds/ds?

I doubt anybody solved it, since the SH Wiki lists the King Lear fuck up
The math is Hamlet x 2, Romeo x 3, - Macbeth
Failed, redo the order.
Heard some good things about Dementium.

No need, I already solved it

So what, 8352?
That might not be as bad as I had thought, though it's still insane. For some reason I thought one of the instructions involved two digits switching places.

Yes
Nah, it's all multiplication and removing Macbeth. So long as you get the first two verses right and figure out the math part, you will more likely than not solve the puzzle, since Macbeth needs to be removed

>The puzzle works as something an 18 year old would know, since all of those works are taught in high school.
This is interesting, because I seem to recall having read King Lear on my own at some point, and I don't remember anything about it, whereas I read Hamlet, Macbeth, and Romeo and Juilet in school and I remember them much more. Though I suppose those three are also much more represented in popular culture.

That as well.
I believe Team Silent chose Heather mainly because they'd be able to do this puzzle and it'd be believable for a teenager fresh out of high school to solve it. All 5 of the works presented are utilized in High School curriculum in Western countries (nowadays, it's 6 main Shakespeare works, as Merchant of Venice got unbanned so long as the Goyim know that it isn't representative of the Jewish race)

I never read Othello or Merchant of Venice, but we did read Julius Caesar in school.

If you ever want a book about how greed Jews are, give Merchant of Venice a shot.
And Team Silent knee Othello wasn’t popular, so referenced the board game instead

I'm Jewish

There was no black people in Silent Hill until the west took over.

If you're gonna cheat you better play on normal instead.

I'm just here to say that heather is cool and cute and I miss female protagonists like her

Did anyone else think the Hard difficulty riddles in 2 and 3 kind of sucked and were put there to compensate for the lower density interior levels compared to 1? Many of them do not rely on any sound or intuitive logic to the point where a logician or an English Phd wouldn't really come to any of the conclusion these games proposed. They also had terrible balancing across the riddle difficulties because I remember after beating both games in hard riddle difficulty I played them again on Normal riddle later just to see how different they were and in some cases they just dropped riddles entirely for Normal or were brain dead easy which begged the question of why they even had difficulty settings and not just an ON/OFF button.
