The Ebisugaoka Middle School is one of the locations you will have to explore in Silent Hill f as you make your way out of the town. Before you can leave the school behind, however, you will have to find the Main Building 2F Stair key, which will give you access to the school's second floor and the Secret Box puzzle. Here's where to find this key.

How does This Puzzle Work

Finding the Main Building 2F Stair Key in Silent Hill f requires you to fully explore the main building's first floor to find some useful clues. The first clue can be found in the office near the school's entrance. Inside this room, you will find a notice mentioning that Vice Principal Matsuo always brings the keys with him, but has recently lost them somewhere.

With no clue on where to search, you will need to explore the school further for help. If you climb the westernmost stair of the Main Building's first floor, you can check the board to learn that the Vice Principal has quite a green thumb, and his Crysanthemums took the top prize in their category at the local Floriculture Fair. These flowers are also on display on the school grounds, where you can find the key.

Now that you know the key is found near the Crysanthemums on the school grounds, you can head over there to collect them. While making your way to the location highlighted on the map, get ready for a fight, as you will find plenty of enemies roaming the school grounds. If you feel confident in your evasive skills, you can try to avoid fighting, as once you jump through the window to return to the main school building, enemies won't be able to reach you.
