Silent Hill f is the newest game in the well-loved Silent Hill series, and it’s set in Japan. The story centers around Hinako Shimizu and the town of Ebisugaoka, where she must overcome enemies and solve challenging puzzles to progress. One of the first hurdles players will face involves altars and offerings. This guide will explain what to focus on and provide solutions for the Story, Hard, and Lost in the Fog difficulty levels.

How to solve the first altar puzzle – general hints

When you first enter Fox Mask’s dreamworld, you’ll find an altar with five offerings. To solve the puzzle, you need to place each offering on the correct podium. The key to success is understanding the symbolism – each podium and each item has a symbol, and the items show these symbols to varying degrees. On the ‘Lost in the Fog’ difficulty, the symbolic clues are found within the text descriptions.
