Finding the Coins: Three Puzzles in One!
1. The Silver Coin: Man & Sword
Go to Room 206. But you will also need to do this small preparation and puzzle. Go and collect that Golden Apple Handle in Room 108. Next; this next part should work. You will want to place that handle into the upward-facing hand located inside the wardrobe in Room 208. The handle turns it downward. The wardrobe will then open. That wardrobe contains a peephole; allowing you access to Room 206. That safe’s combination is: 13 Right, 7 Left, 11 Right. Open it for that sweet Silver Coin (with the Man and Sword) and a key that unlocks the door in Room 206!
2. The Gold Coin: Woman & Cross Tombstone
Now for Room 312. Crawl that vent west; collect the Apple Juice, drop it in the garbage chute. Watch the fun cutscene. It causes all kinds of trash to drop, which contains this important and really tricky-to-locate Gold Coin, with its Woman and Cross Tombstone that rolls outside. Get this now.
3. The Bronze Coin: Serpent & Flower
Head to the apartment pool; using the window in Room 116 is an easier method. In that creepy drained pool, that foggy stroller contains the bronze coin (the Serpent and Flower). It is worth mentioning the likelihood of enemies spawning here. You might seriously have to battle them; yet killing those enemies doesn't affect other things here, and is only important to provide safety!
Cracking the Code: Solving the Poem Puzzle
After obtaining these important tools, it's time to solve the puzzle. You'll want to go to the reception area, putting all these coins in that puzzle box. Each stage of that puzzle is one complex Poem which needs these specific steps taken:
Poem 1: Man, empty, Woman, empty, Flower Poem 2: empty, Sword, empty, Woman, Flower Poem 3: empty, empty, Man, Tombstone, Serpent
The final part is your own decision, a question involving the woman’s death. You choose. Put the Serpent, Man, or Woman coin at the top; the outcome? This seriously determines your ending. Think carefully!
