Finding all Silent Hill 2 Remake maps is essential if you want to avoid getting lost. These collectible documents can be found along the way and you could miss them entirely leaving you wandering blindly. So no map, no idea where you're going.
Having a map on hand is borderline essential to finding your way around most of the locations in SH2, such as the abandoned hospital or the shadowy prison. So the fact that you might fail to get one of them and find yourself completely lost is something you really want to avoid. With that in mind, we've laid out all the map locations and where you can find them for yourself.
All maps in Silent Hill 2 Remake
Most maps in Silent Hill 2 are broken up across different pages (such as the outdoor sections being divided up into East/West or buildings being listed floor-by-floor). That means there are 11 maps across the whole game for the player to find:
- Map of South Vale
- Map of the East Side of South Vale (Silent Hill outside areas)
- Map of the West Side of South Vale (Silent Hill outside areas)
- Wood Side Apartments
- Blue Creek Apartments
- Brookhaven Hospital
- Toluca Prison
- Labyrinth Center
- Lakeview Hotel (Garden)
- Lakeview Hotel (Main Building)
- Lakeview Hotel (Basement/Employee Section)
Of the 11 maps above, only the ones in bold are ones the player has to find. The South Vale maps are gained in an unskippable cutscene when you first make it into town after finding the Silent Hill 2 Remake Auto Parts key. While the Labyrinth Map starts life as a blank piece of paper that James fills in as he explores.
However, all the others are maps are down to you to find - which means if you fail to find any of them you're going to miss out on a valuable aid to navigation. With this in mind, I'll lay out where to find all the maps below.
Where to find the South Vale map in Silent Hill 2
The first map of South Vale - the region outside of Silent Hill where James starts his journey - is in the blue car behind you when you begin the game.
Where to find the Wood Side Apartments map in Silent Hill 2
After entering the Wood Side Apartments and going to the entrance lobby, check the notice board with the light shining on it ahead of you - the piece of paper you can see is the map for the whole building. If you missed it, head back to the Silent Hill 2 Remake coin cabinet and go back to the lobby from there.
Where to find the Blue Creek Apartments map in Silent Hill 2
After seeing Pyramid Head for the first time and leaving Wood Side for the much grimmer Blue Creek building, head into the corridor from the starting room. Follow this corridor until you see the illuminated board above, with the map on it. Then follow the corridor from there to find the Silent Hill 2 Remake clock puzzle.
Where to find the Brookhaven Hospital map in Silent Hill 2
Once you enter the Hospital, go straight ahead and look for this little magazine rack in the lobby with red folders in it. That's where you get the Hospital map and you want it ASAP to help you solve the Silent Hill 2 Remake hospital padlock code puzzle.
Where to find the Toluca Prison map in Silent Hill 2
Once you reach Toluca prison leave the canteen where you meet someone (spoilers) and go straight ahead to a small room with a rifle locked inside a cage, and a save point. To the right of the save point is a bulletin board with the prison map pinned to it.
Where to find the Lakeview Hotel Garden Map in Silent Hill 2
After rowing across the lake and ending up on a wooden dock, check the board shown above before you head up the stairs to find the Lakeview Hotel Garden map.
Where to find the Lakeview Hotel map in Silent Hill 2
After entering the hotel through the door with "Welcome Back" next to it, immediately look right to see a notice board with the hotel map on it
Where to find the Lakeview Hotel basement map in Silent Hill 2
After stepping out of the elevator without your guns and equipment you'll be in an area with patrolling monsters. Immediately run straight ahead and clamber through the window so you're near the static-displaying TV. Turn to the right and check the board ahead to get a map for the basement area of the Hotel.
