The Silent Hill 2 Remake suitcase code and mirror puzzle are connected, because if you find a red lightbulb for the mirror, you'll get the combination. The case itself, in room 208 of the LakeView Hotel, is something you'll need to crack open to explore the hotel properly and complete the game, as there's an essential key waiting inside for you inside - and don't worry, it's not as ridiculous as the illogical Silent Hill 2 Remake book puzzle you did to reach this room.

Below we'll lay out all the steps - if need be you can always skip the Vanity Mirror and lightbulb puzzle and just use the suitcase combination code if you want to unlock it immediately, but you'll be missing out on some of Silent Hill 2 Remake if you do. But whether you want to know how to unlock the suitcase or how to solve the vanity mirror puzzle, here's what you need to know.

What is the Suitcase code in Silent Hill 2 Remake?

The Silent Hill 2 suitcase code is "DEED DONE" in Room 208, at least on standard puzzle difficulty. This combination is something you discover by completing the Vanity Mirror puzzle nearby, as we'll lay out below.

You can enter it straight away, but you'll miss out on a lot of game in doing so, and still have to do some of the involved steps anyway.

If you want to go through the full process of solving the Vanity Mirror puzzle in the Lakeview Hotel, you need to replace the broken bulb with one that will create red light, as indicated by the photograph nearby.

To do that, you need to do the following:

  1. Go up to floor 3F of the Hotel.
  2. Take the outside steps going down from between Rooms 318 and 319.
  3. Go into Room 217 and onto the balcony.
  4. Ahead you can see a glass roof with a red book. Shoot the glass so the book drops down.
