The solution to the Silent Hills PT demo's final puzzle has been revealed

Rely on Horror: A dedicated group of Silent Hill fans appear to have cracked the code on the Silent Hills PT demo. More specifically, the now infamous final puzzle that's eluded players from the beginning. Anyone that's played the demo knows triggering the second baby laugh during the final puzzle can be a complete pain, to the point where most people believed it was completely random.

Wow! That was some awesome detective work! Remind me to never try and kill anyone in your town, you'll definitely solve the case.

Part they forgot is the many people who have finished the demo and have no mic plug in
Other who said the most random things in the mic some twitch guy who said "pizza" and got the baby's to laugh

There's something not right in all of this .. He may have gotten the right idea or path but there's something we are all missing here

[thejigisup]

Didnt the ps4 come with a mic/earbud? I know mine did

[BrunoM]

Lol yeah it did come but I mean have it plug in there's many who have finished and not have a mic plug in

Plus Kojima today came say that the 77 something number is just the area code an area in japan that is name converts to silent hills

So kinda goes and trows the name this guy came up with straight to the garbage

[bunt-custardly]

Interesting, but what about people solving the puzzle without saying the name?

[ramiuk1]

way to much time on your hands

[Saphodravingo]

LOL Seriously. It reminded me of those Magic Eye posters that were popular back in the 90's, wherein you had a bunch of people that stood around for hours, looking for something that wasn't there.

As a sidenote for all the people sipping the Kool-Aid, the numbers in the game have no real significance. 7880 is not "tree". It's the area code of a town in Japan which name translates to "Quiet Hills", according to Kojima himself. And there is no "Jarith". You could whisper "Pickle Weasle" into the mic and it would yield the same results.

The cake is a lie.

haha pickle weasel lol

[DarkLord1003]

That's awesome. Nice work!

[ziggurcat]

pretty clever... now all that needs to be figured out is how people who don't have mics were able to trigger the second laugh.

[mogwaii]

Talk about convoluted! I mean i love the demo and all but i couldnt be bothered doing all that just to see a trailer i saw before even playing the demo.

[starrman1985]

That guy is a wizard! I will try this when I'm home, most likely it wont work and I'll rage quit!

In all seriousness, if this does work (and from the video it sounds like it does) then major props to this guy and his team (I'm sure he mentioned others in the video)

There must also be a random timer on the 2nd laugh perhaps, or a series of triggers people may not had known they were doing.

I beat it! I think this actually works! After days of trying, I finally beat this mofo!!.

I enterd the last part and gave the ten steps for the baby laugh.
Then looped and did the 10 step thing again and the baby laughed(1). Stood still until Lisa appeared again, I went to where she was(in the bathroom) but I stayed outside and said "Jarith" facing the bathroom(her) and standing still. The baby laughed again(2) I remained still and the controller vibrated and then the baby laughed again(3) then after that the phone rang and I finally beat this mofo! lol I'm starting it again to see if it works a second time.

[BrunoM]

Like I said above there's something we are all missing read comment 1.1

You said you were going to start it again then when comes to time say your own name in a slow whispering way the baby will laugh and it will freak the fuk out of you

[patsrule316]

I would bet a lot of money that the 204683 does not mean Jarith. One way of solving the final puzzle is definitely using the mic, but you don't need to specifically say Jarith. Did he try doing the same thing, only whispering something else? I beat it the first time I plugged in a mi, after struggling for a long time without the mic, and I definitely didn't say Jarith.

[Dark_Overlord]

I don't think he's cracked it IMO.

I followed a guide that said depending on what background noise you could hear, determined which 1 of 3 places you looked at (The Mirror, Phone or Radio). I had no mic connected, and doing what that guide said it worked first time every time, so there's either multiple triggers, or the method is far more complicated.

[starrman1985]

I followed his exact instructions, walk 10 steps on the chimes and stop - first laugh.

Wait until the wailing had stopped, said jareth several times for the mic to recognise it - second laugh.

The rest is straight forward. Not 100% sure if it was luck, I will try again. However I have probably put about 2 hours into this last puzzle following all other methods and none could be replicated. I think he's onto something!
