Colored Plates Puzzle
Talk0this wiki
- This article is about a puzzle from Silent Hill, and is therefore written like a guide.
Added by AlexShepherdIn the alternate Alchemilla Hospital, Harry Mason will find a door with 8 square indents, designed to hold square plates. 4 plates of various colors will already be inserted into the door, while the other 4 will be scatter about the hospital. All 8 plates are of different colors, and will need to be inserted into the correct slots to unlock the door. The only clue to their order can be found in the adjacent poem.
Poem
Edit
There is a poem by the door. Each sentence of the poem represents a color:
- Clouds flowing over a hill. (Clouds are white)
- Sky on a sunny day. (The sky is blue)
- Tangerines that are bitter. (Tangerines are orange)
- Lucky four-leaf-clover. (Clovers are green)
- Violets in the garden. (Violets are purple)
- Dandelions along a path. (Dandelions are yellow)
- Unavoidable sleeping time. (When you sleep/close your eyes, everything is black)
- Liquid flowing from a slashed wrist. (The liquid from a slashed wrist is blood which is red)
If you remove the sentences and only look at the colors, you can turn this poem into a list of colors:
- White
- Blue
- Orange
- Green
- Purple
- Yellow
- Black
- Red
Solution
Edit
The plates in Harry's inventory also have colors:
- Plate of Turtle = Blue
- Plate of Hatter = Green
- Plate of Cat = Yellow
- Plate of Queen = Red
(Something notable is that each plate represents a character from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.)
Between every two plates on the door is an empty slot. In order to find out what plate goes between each two plates, you would look at the two colors beside the empty slot and then look at the list to find out what is between them. For example, between white and orange on our list is blue, thus you would put the Plate of Turtle (the blue plate) between white and orange. When all the plates are put on the door, the solution is:
- Top left = Red
- Top right = Blue
- Bottom left = Yellow
- Bottom right = Green
