Where to find the Broken Key Parts and get the Dog Key in Silent Hill 2. Two items required for getting the Dog ending in New Game+, you must search the streets and stores of Silent Hill to achieve the Dog ending, one of the eight endings in the game. In this Silent Hill 2 guide, we will reveal where to find the Broken Key Parts and get the Dog Key.
The Broken Key Parts can only be found in New Game+ of the game, as they relate to the comical Dog ending. Once you have them both, you can then combine them in your inventory and unlock the Observation Room in the Lakeview Hotel to trigger the Dog ending. Below, you will discover where to find the Broken Key Parts and get the Dog Key.
Where to find Broken Key Part 1?
After reaching East South Vale following the first enemy encounter in New Game+, head to Big Jays. Directly north of it, one store up, is the Pet Center. In a small room at the back, you will find the Broken Key Part placed on a table.
Where to find Broken Key Part 2?
After meeting Maria for the first time, you will pass through West South Vale by Jacks Inn. Once the gate is opened, you can reach Katz Street. Head west down it, moving the camera north. After the first house on your right, you should notice a wooden gate carved with a bone. Go from here and in the Dog House at the back, you will find the second part of the Broken Key.
How to get the Dog Key
Now that you have both Broken Key Parts in your inventory, collect them to form the Dog Key. And now, once you reach Room 312 at Lakeview Hotel at the end of the game, use it to unlock the adjacent Observation Room to get the Dog ending.
This ending is the most whimsical ending, and has cemented itself as one of the most famous endings in Silent Hill 2, despite the clear contradiction with the game’s themes. But who cares, you get to see a dog. Upon entering the Observation Room, you will see the true mastermind behind the events that have been haunting James all this time. While James speaks Japanese in the original version of the game for this ending, he speaks Polish in this version as a nod to the Poland-based development team, Bloober Team.
