The Silent Hill 2 Remake jukebox puzzle in Neely's Bar means fixing the music player with a broken record, some glue, a missing button and then finding a compatible coin to slot into it and make it work again. There's no actual order you need to find all these things - unlike later puzzles in SH2, this is one of the more open and intentionally less structured, allowing you to explore the murky streets and occasionally get bonked by an angry bag with legs.
After the Silent Hill 2 Remake Auto Parts key and Grand Market keypad code you cleared to get here, this is the first 'real' challenge to get stuck into. With that in mind, here's how to find everything you need for the Neely's Bar jukebox puzzle in the Silent Hill 2 Remake.
How to fix the jukebox in Silent Hill 2 and find all the parts
In Neely's Bar in Silent Hill 2 you'll find a jukebox under a sheet. When you try and use it, it will break and present you with half a record.
On the bar you'll find a note that will talk about the record being broken, a missing button, and that the person responsible ran towards Groovy Music record store and lives in Saul Apartments.
To fix and use the jukebox in Silent Hill 2 you'll need the following items:
- Record half / glue - found at the Groovy Music record store
- Button - found at Saul Street apartment 9
- Coin - found at Texan cafe
Everything you need for the Silent HIll 2 jukebox puzzle can be found here:
Once you have all the pieces, circle back to Neely's Bar (enemies don't respawn, so if you killed them on the way it should be clear to get back). It's time to play some tunes.
How to solve the Silent Hill 2 Remake jukebox puzzle
When you have the glued record, button and coin here's how to solve the Silent Hill 2 jukebox puzzle:
- Select and rotate the green cylinder so that it lines up with the red bracket.
- Push the red bracket into the green cylinder to connect them
- Select and rotate the green cylinder, with the red bracket, away from the blue upright part.
- With the red and green part rotated out of the way, select and push the blue part down.
- That will then let you bring the combined red and green part back and then out, pulling a record tray out.
(If you still need to find an of these check the side bar for more information below).
With the record tray released from the jukebox you can now place the glued record in it. This will change the view to the upper panel of the jukebox.
All you need to do now is select the missing button slot, and use the button from your inventory to put that back, and then select the coin slot to use the Neely's Bar Coin.
To select the glued record press C, for the blue part of the record stack, and 2, the missing button, for the tray it's in.
The record will then play, triggering a flashback and, once it's done, the jukebox will give you the Neely's Bar Key that will open the locked door you need to continue. In the back room you'll find a note telling you to find a greenish blue car in Silent Hill 2 Remake next.
Silent Hill 2 broken record and glue
You'll find the missing record part and glue in the Groovy Music record store, which has a couple of Lying Figures inside you'll need to deal with before you can do anything else. Once they're dead you can smash the window to reach the back room where you'll find some vinyl glue and half a broken record. If you combine these with the record half from the jukebox you'll get a complete record.
Where to find the Silent Hill 2 jukebox button
When you reach Saul Street apartments you'll need to push a cupboard aside that blocking a door adjacent to reception to get inside. Here you'll find a key to apartment 5 which is upstairs.
In apartment 5 you'll be able to pass through two holes in the wall to reach a fire escape that will take you up to apartment 9 upstairs, through a widow. Once inside you'll find a note in the center of the room that mentions 'a quick stop at Texan' which is where you'll find the coin needed to operate the jukebox, once you've found everything and fixed it.
Go to the bathroom in apartment 9 and you'll find a hole in the wall you can reach in to pull out the missing Jukebox button. Once you have that you can exit the apartment via the roof.
Where to find the jukebox coin in Silent Hill 2
You'll find a Neely's Bar coin in the cash register of the Texan Cafe. There's a clue to go here when you read a note in the Saul Street apartment, where you find the button by interacting with the cash register to pop it open.
