In “Silent Hill f,” playing on the Lost in the Fog difficulty makes its puzzles much more challenging. One of the toughest is the Shrine Vault puzzle, which tests your skills quite intensely. The first step involves finding several plaques called ema, and this part is a bit harder than on the Hard difficulty level.
What makes it especially tricky is the second step. Instead of easily getting the answers for the combination lock from the ema, each ema shows four possible characters for each part of the lock. You need to figure out which one of the four characters fits each section. Only by selecting the right ones can you unlock the Shrine Vault and move forward.
The full clue for the Shrine Vault puzzle on Lost in the Fog is:
“To those corrupted souls who dare enter our sacred land, may you face disaster and ruin. The Yokai of the Carriage had their heads removed, the Yokai of the Umbrella their arms, and the Yokai of the Kettle their legs. Only by losing these parts can this corruption be cleansed.”
To find each ema, look for the Yokai of the Carriage, the Yokai of the Umbrella, and the Yokai of the Kettle. The ema are located in three specific spots marked on the map, though which ema appears in each spot can change. Each location features exactly one ema of the type that can appear there.
For the Yokai of the Kettle, look for an ema shaped like a kettle-headed creature. Turn it over to see four characters, which you’ll need to write down. Similarly, find the Yokai of the Umbrella, which looks like an umbrella with limbs, flip it, and note the characters. The Yokai of the Carriage is usually easy to spot and provides the last set of characters.
Once you have all three sets of characters, approach the Shrine Vault door and examine the lock. Use the clues about the missing heads, arms, and legs to select the correct characters. The right combination is:
– The second character from the Carriage set,
– The fourth from the Umbrella set,
– The third from the Kettle set.
This matches the amount of limbs lost: the Yokai of the Carriage lost two heads, the Yokai of the Umbrella lost four arms, and the Yokai of the Kettle lost three legs.
After entering the correct code, you’ll be able to open the Shrine Vault and continue your journey. There’s plenty more challenging puzzles in “Silent Hill f” waiting for you.
