The Altar Puzzle in Silent Hill f is one of the game’s earliest puzzle challenges, as it requires players to correctly place five unique offerings on the altar’s pedestals. In this guide, we’ll break down how the Altar Puzzle works across all difficulties and show you exactly where each one of the offerings needs to be placed.
Story Difficulty
To solve the Altar Puzzle, you’ll need to carefully place all five offerings on the altar pedestals in the exact order. Each pedestal has a small knot symbol carved at its base, and these symbols act as your key. By examining each offering, you’ll notice that it also shows a matching knot symbol. You need to match the knots of each offering to the pedestal with the same knot. Once all five offerings are placed in their correct order, the puzzle will be solved. The correct order is:
- Back Left: Rat
- Back Right: Fish
- Front Left: Kimono
- Front Middle: Vase
- Front Right: Paper Fan

On Hard difficulty, the Altar Puzzle becomes more complex. Instead of knot symbols, each pedestal is marked with an image of a specific plant.
