How to Open the Insect Room Door in Toluca Prison in Silent Hill 2 Remake

Entering Toluca Prison is considered one of the most unsettling and bizarre moments in Silent Hill 2 Remake, and this feeling is amplified early on when you find yourself trapped in a room full of insects, with an electronic lock sealing the door shut and preventing your exit.

The only way to escape this room is by entering the correct code on the lock to the room’s door, but finding the code may prove difficult – especially as the place is crawling with insects that you must kill if you want to prevent them from attacking you. This room represents a great moment in Silent Hill 2 that can make you feel terrified as you search for clues to unlock the lock, but if you are struggling to get out of that room, just like we did, we are here to help you.

Here’s how to solve the puzzle of the insect room lock, including the solution if you don’t want to bother finding it yourself. As always, if you want to find it yourself, now is the time to stop reading.

What is the code for the insect room lock in Toluca Prison?

The clues to open the door are hidden on the walls – meaning you have to desperately move your flashlight around in search of the information. Unfortunately, there is nothing to find, but the clues you need are still there.

Instead of looking at the walls, once you get rid of the lethal insects, check the electronic lock itself. You will see that you need a three-digit code to exit. Another important detail here is that the lock is covered in blood. Usually, blood stains may indicate the keys you need to press.

In fact, for this puzzle, the situation is completely reversed. Only three keys on the panel are not covered in blood, and that is your clue. You will also see these three numbers light up when the room lights flash every few seconds.

The three keys not covered in blood are 2, 3, and 9, and that’s all you need to know to find the correct code. Unfortunately, there are no other clues – just start pressing the buttons. There are only six possible combinations when using all three numbers.

If you want the answer quickly, the code is 923. Input it and the door will open, allowing you to continue exploring Brookhaven.
