Spoilers for the North Brae puzzle: The guide-reported black box code is 736; after scanning the barcode from the box at CEG, enter 971 at Locker 204 to get the second Mechanical Part. The solution sequence is: read the Lamenting Poem in the second upstairs bedroom at 6 North Brae, inspect the paintings, open the black box, scan its barcode, then unlock the locker.

What the clues establish
The walkthrough directs players to inspect the poem and paintings, but does not provide enough intermediate clue analysis to explain how each digit is derived. The sequence above is therefore a guide-reported solution, not a digit-by-digit explanation or a result from hands-on testing.

It notes that some other game answers can vary by playthrough, but does not identify this North Brae code as variable. That is not enough to claim that every code in the game is fixed.
#1 Best Overall
- Experienced entirely in first person, explore, evade, and survive using a limited set of weapons and tools, including a pocket television used to tune into unstable signals. Evasion is tense; combat is frenetic, while narrative driven puzzles reveal a truth that refuses to stay submerged.
- SILENT HILL: Townfall is a full-length, self-contained psychological horror set against the cold, isolated backdrop of Scotland, 1996
Where this fits in the game
The second Mechanical Part is a progression item. Later in the Clara Woods route, the mechanical discs and cylindrical part are combined at the Strange Gate, according to the independent walkthrough.
KONAMI describes SILENT HILL: Townfall as a first-person psychological horror game set on St. Amelia, a remote island off Scotland, where puzzles are closely intertwined with the story. In a PlayStation Blog interview published June 2, 2026, writer and director Jon McKellan said: “Each puzzle has been designed while writing the story, so rather than a separate, unconnected gameplay layer, they’re grounded in the world you’re exploring and contextual to it and the town’s inhabitants.” The puzzle is part of that story-linked approach; its solution is not dependent on platform-specific features.
