Silent Hill 2 Hints
How do I open this grate in the floor?
1 of 6: Did you look closely at it?
2 of 6: It used to have a handle, but not anymore. Maybe you can jury-rig something.
3 of 6: You need a bit of metal shaped in a curve, some substance you can use to make it stick in the hole, and something to melt the substance.
4 of 6: That's the horseshoe, the wax doll, and the cigarette lighter.
5 of 6: The horseshoe was in the Gallows Yard, the wax doll was in the south cell block, and the cigarette lighter was in one of the visitors' rooms.
6 of 6: To use them, stand in front of the grate. In inventory, select "combine" for each item so all three show up in little boxes at the bottom right. Now select any one and "use."
