The Silent Hill 2 Remake jukebox puzzle means fixing the music player in Neely's Bar with a broken record, some glue, a missing button and then finding a coin make it work. There's no order you need to find all these things in, as this is a fairly open quest, leaving you to explore the murky streets however you want, while occasionally getting bonked by an angry bag with legs.

After the Silent Hill 2 Remake Auto Parts key and Grand Market keypad code you dealt with to get here, this is the first 'real' multi part challenge to get stuck into. With that in mind, here's how to find everything for the Neely's Bar jukebox puzzle in the Silent Hill 2 Remake and get that music playing

You'll find a jukebox under a sheet in Neely's Bar but when you try and use it, it will break and present you with half a record.

On the bar you'll find a note about the record being broken, a missing button, and that the person responsible ran towards Groovy Music record store and lives in Saul Apartments. All clues to point you towards what you need to do.

To fix and use the jukebox in Silent Hill 2 you'll need to find the following items:

  • Record half and glue - found at the Groovy Music record store
  • Button - found at Saul Street apartment 9
  • Coin - found at Texan cafe

Everything you need for the Silent HIll 2 jukebox puzzle can be found here on the map:

Once you have everything you need, head back to Neely's Bar (enemies don't respawn, so if you killed them on the way it should be clear to get back). Once you're there it's time to play some tunes.

When you have the glued record, button and coin here's how to solve the Silent Hill 2 jukebox puzzle:

  1. Select and rotate the green cylinder so that it lines up with the red bracket.
  2. Push the red bracket into the green cylinder to connect them
  3. Select and rotate the green cylinder, with the red bracket, away from the blue upright part.
  4. With the red and green part rotated out of the way, select and push the blue part down.
  5. That will then let you bring the combined red and green part back and then out, pulling a record tray out.

If you still need to find any of the items here then look at the side bar for more information below.

With the record tray released from the jukebox you can now place the glued record in it. This will change the view to the upper panel of the jukebox.

All you need to do now is select the missing button slot, and use the button from your inventory to put that back, and then select the coin slot to use the Neely's Bar Coin.

To select the glued record press C, for the blue part of the record stack, and 2, the missing button, for the tray it's in.

The record will then play, triggering a flashback and, once it's done, the jukebox will give you the Neely's Bar Key that will open the locked door you need to continue. In the back room you'll find a note telling you to find a greenish blue car in Silent Hill 2 Remake next.

You'll find the missing record part and glue in the Groovy Music record store, which has a couple of Lying Figures inside you'll need to kill before you can do anything else. When it's safe smash the window to reach the back room where you'll find vinyl glue and half a broken record - combine these with the record half from the jukebox to get a complete record.

When you reach Saul Street apartments you can push a cupboard aside that's blocking a door adjacent to reception to get inside. Here you'll find a key to apartment 5 which is upstairs.

In apartment 5 pass through two holes in the wall to reach a fire escape that will take you up to apartment 9 upstairs, through a widow. Inside you'll find a note in the center of the room mentioning 'a quick stop at Texan' which is where you'll find the coin needed to operate the jukebox, once you've found everything and fixed it.

Go to the bathroom in apartment 9 and you'll find a hole in the wall you can reach into to pull out the missing Jukebox button. Once you have that you can exit the apartment via the roof.

You'll find a Neely's Bar coin in the cash register of the Texan Cafe by interacting with the cash register to pop it open. There's a clue to go here you can find when you read a note in the Saul Street apartment where you find the button. However you could also just find this though natural exploration without any clues like I did.
