Where to get the Silent Hill 2 Remake flashlight

You can easily feel like you've missed the flashlight in Silent Hill 2 as you start to explore the dingy Wood Side Apartments. However, while you might feel lost in the initial darkness, don't worry - you can't actually miss it even if it does feel like something's gone wrong in the shadows. Just follow the clues and you'll eventually be led right to it.

If you need reassurance, however, then here's exactly where to find the SH2 flashlight.

You'll find the flashlight in room 202 of Wood Side apartments 2f, as you can see on the map above. You'll get it not long after you enter the building, in one of the few rooms you can access at that point (at least until you get the Silent Hill 2 Remake chute courtyard key that lets you explore further).

To get it just head up the stairs to the second floor where you'll quickly reach a dead end and this suspiciously well lit door in the distance:

Inside the lit room you'll find the flashlight on a dummy wearing some familiar clothes. You can grab as soon as you find it but you will be attacked by a mannequin the moment you do so be ready for a fight.

Now you can explore to find the Courtyard Chute key I mentioned earlier. That will then open a door back down on the first floor near reception that will get you access to the courtyard. That, in turn, will that let you reach more of the building and you'll also be able to find one of the coins there later for the Silent Hill 2 Remake coin cabinet puzzle.
