How to Solve Hashi Puzzles in Silent Hill: Ascension

Hashi puzzles are one of the four Arcane puzzle types in Silent Hill: Ascension. If they seem difficult to solve, our guide will help you deal with these puzzles in the shortest time possible and achieve a three-star rating on each level.

Solving the Silent Hill: Ascension Hashi puzzles

Like the Codebreaker and Lockbox puzzles, the Hashi puzzles in Silent Hill: Ascension follow a relatively simple principle: You get a board with various coins on it. Each coin has a Roman numeral (I, II, III, IV instead of 1, 2, 3, 4), indicating how many connections the coin may have. Your goal is to draw lines between coins until each is connected the exact number of times indicated by its Roman numeral.

Let’s look at some general tips on solving these puzzles. These rules will help you if you want to take on the puzzles yourself without spoiling the fun. After that, we’ll take a deeper dive into each level and give you a solution for every puzzle.

General tips

Silent Hill: Ascension gives you several starting tips and rules in the tutorial for the Hashi puzzle. The most important rules are:

• You can connect two coins with one or two lines
• Lines can’t be drawn diagonally – only vertical and horizontal connections are allowed
• Lines can’t cross one another

With these three rules in mind, we can start carving out a general strategy.

Start a Hashi puzzle by looking for two specific coins:

• A IV coin in the corner (two directions for connecting available)
• A VI coin with no possible connections on one side (three directions available)

In both cases, you can immediately connect the coin with two lines in each available direction. Once you make the connections, you’ll already have a solid starting point. From that point on, we recommend going from the top-left coin and moving counter-clockwise.

Follow the tips stated here, and solving the Hashi puzzles in Silent Hill: Ascension will become much easier. If you don’t feel like putting in the effort, the next sections will explain the solution for each puzzle.

For clarity’s sake, we’ll refer to the coins by their Roman numeral—I, II, III, IV, V, VI. Also, whenever connections are mentioned, you should connect two coins with a single line unless specified otherwise.
