How to Complete the My Room Puzzle in Silent Hill f
The My Room Puzzle is found in Shimizu Residence I, but you will first need to collect 3 Crests found throughout the residence. One is found via the Ominous Photos Puzzle. Another in the Scales Puzzle, and the last one in behind the Fletchling Door. You will need to make your way through all 3 Shimizu Residence floors.
To reach Shimizu Residence II, you will first need to find the Calendar in Shimizu Residence I. Go down the right hallway close to the hokora. Go to the end of this hallway and turn right to find a red door. The calendar is to the right of the door.
Go back to the main hallway and go to the north end of the hall. Look at the wall to the left of Hinako’s room. You can hang the calendar on the wall. This will unlock the door at the north end of the hall, allowing you to reach Shimizu Residence II.
Go down the right hallway close to the hokora. Go to the end of this hallway and turn right to find another hallway. At the end of the hallway, go into the room to your left to find the Picture Frame.
Go all the way to the north end of the Shimizu Residence II and then go down the left hallway. Go into the room all the way at the end of the left hallway to find the Scales Puzzle. You can find a paper on the back wall of the room to read about the Scales Puzzle. The solution of the puzzle will change depending on which ending you are currently locked into.
Once you’ve placed the dolls in the correct dishes and balanced the scales, a compartment will open. You will be able to get the Scales Plate for the My Room Puzzle.
You will need to make your way to Shimizu Residence III. To do this, you will need to find the Yellowed Calendar in Shimizu Residence II. This calendar’s location will change depending on the ending you’re currently locked into.
- Ebisugaoka in Silence: Hinako’s Room.
- Coming Home to Roost: In the dining hall.
- Fox’s Wedding: Hinako’s Room.
- A Fox Wets Its Tail: Hinako’s parents’ room.
Go back to the main hallway and go to the north end of the hall. Look at the wall to the left of Hinako’s room. You can hang the calendar on the wall. This will unlock the door at the north end of the hall, allowing you to reach Shimizu Residence III.
Go down the central hallway of Shimizu Residence III and go into Hinako’s room. Go to the blood-covered shelf. Look at the bottom of the shelf to find a book. Open the boot to find a Block of Wax.
Leave Hinako’s room and go all the way to the north end of the main hallway and then turn left and take the left hallway to its end. Then, turn left to take the hallway leading south. At the end of this hallway, turn left and then go into the first room on the right. You will find a Propane Tube in a wooden workbench at the opposite end of the room from the entrance.
Go back to the north end of the Shimizu Residence III main hallway to go through the door at the north end of the hallway. The calendar is already hanging on the wall, so the door is unlocked. Go through the door to return to Shimizu Residence I.
Once back in Shimizu Residence I, take the first left hallway and go through the second door on the left to find the same room you found the Propane Tube. Interact with the machine on the left end of the workbench to plug in the Propane Tube and place the Block of Wax inside. This will melt the wax and allow you to get the Fletchling Key found inside.
Take the Picture Frame to the photo room. Go to the northwest corner of the room. Go into the northern room at the center of the area to find a room with 4 pictures hanging and a blank space in the northwest corner. Interact with the blank wall to hang up the Picture Frame. You can now start the puzzle. Look on the west wall to find a picture of Hinako with her friends and family. This is your hint on how to complete the Ominous Photos Puzzle. The solution of the puzzle will change depending on which ending you are currently locked into.
When all the photos are set up correctly, the photo of all the characters will fall off the wall. You can grab the White Bird and Fox Plate from the wall.
Now head back to Shimizu Residence III. You will need to find the Fletchling Door and use the key to open the door to find the Black Bird and Sword Plate. This door is in the same location during the Coming Home to Roost, Fox’s Wedding, and The Fox Wets Its Tail Endings. You can find the Black Bird and Sword Plate on the table in the middle of the room.
During the Ebisugaoka in Silence Ending, the Fletchling Door will change to Hinako’s parents’ room. Go into the room and after a cutscene with her mother, you will find the Black Bird and Sword Plate on the table to the right of the door.
Now that you have all of the crests, go back to Shimizu Residence I. You will find Hinako’s locked door with writing to the right of it. The writing will hint at how to insert the crests and open the door. The solution of the puzzle will change depending on which ending you are currently locked into.
Like all of the puzzles in the game, the My Room Crest Puzzle has different variations that players can come across. Unlike many of the other puzzles in this game, this one doesn’t change depending on the Puzzle Difficulty you selected, but rather which of the game’s endings you are currently heading towards. This means there are 4 different versions of this puzzle. We have broken down the solutions to this puzzle for all of the different endings.
Coming Home to Roost
During the Coming Home to Roost Ending, the story on the wall next to the My Room puzzle is the following:

“Now, you must choose, Black Bird. Have you made a decision?“

After a long and vicious fight, the Fox fell to the Sword. In the aftermath, their seal upon the land vanished without a trace.
The Sword raises itself heavenward, the scales now dedicated to the rising sun.
“Now go, White Bird. Fly away and never come back!“
The White Bird took to the air and flew towards the horizon, becoming a silhouette against the setting sun. Now, nothing remained upon the land.

White and Black fought, battle upon a set of scales.
Yet neither wanted for the scales, for what they desired was simply a quiet, grey place where they could belong together.
“Whether we flee or spread our wings and fly is our decision alone – one to make only once we are ready.“
They had no use for those who towered from the heavens, imposing their will on others.
Interact with the door to put the Plates into the right locations. Here is where each plate is inserted and which side should be displayed:
