The Silent Hill 2 Remake suitcase code and mirror puzzle are part of the same solution because if you find the red lightbulb for the mirror, you'll get the combination for the case.
You need to open the case in room 208 of the LakeView Hotel to explore the hotel properly, as there's an essential key inside. While this halts your progress through the game until you complete it, this a fairly simple problem to solve and nowhere near as ridiculous as the illogical Silent Hill 2 Remake book puzzle you just did to reach this point.
Below I'll lay out the steps to complete this and, if needs be, you can always skip the puzzle completely and just use the suitcase combination code below if you want to unlock it immediately.
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 steps below anyway to move on.
