While experiencing the chilling tale of Hinako in Silent Hill f, players will also encounter mind-boggling puzzles that require keen-eyed observation. After completing the Middle School area, Hinako will reach the Worship Hall area of the Dark Shrine. Here, you’ll need to solve two puzzles to proceed to the final room ahead. One of these is the Light Puzzle, which will require you to turn the Rabbit and the Fox statues in a way to level the cages in the room.
How to Solve the Light Puzzle in Silent Hill f (Worship Hall)
The Light puzzle is one of two puzzles that are required to progress through the Dark Shrine’s Worship Hall area in Silent Hill f. The hallway that leads to the puzzle is to the right, and players will be able to access it after interacting with the fox statue to the left of the middle door.
After making it through the lantern-lit rooms and clearing a path to the light puzzle room, players will come face to face with Sakuko, or at least a memory of hers that’s materialized in the Dark Shrine realm. Picking up a piece of paper from the table in front of Sakuko’s cell will start the Light puzzle.
Depending on the difficulty, the clue and solution to the light puzzle will vary from player to player. The piece of paper will mainly hint at the direction both the rabbit and fox statues should be facing to level the cages in the room. Those cages must be leveled for Hinako to retrieve two important items that are required to solve this puzzle.
So, here’s the solution to the Light Puzzle in Silent Hill f for all difficulties.
Players will need to interact with the statues multiple times to set them in the desired direction. Also, the direction of the Statues mentioned below is in terms of Hinako facing away from Sakuko’s cage.

Once you’ve aligned the fox and rabbit statues correctly, the cages in the room will be leveled. Look into the open cages to get the Restraint Lampshade and the Talon Lampshade.
Return to Sakuko’s cell and cover both the lanterns in this area with the lampshades. Doing this will release the latch on the key, allowing players to receive a chilling cutscene and the White Rabbit Emblem Key. This will complete the Light puzzle in Silent Hill f, and players will be able to use the key on the main fox statue in the Worship’s Hall Grand area to open one of the doors.
