SILENT HILL: Townfall Part 5 Richard Walkthrough

What does Part 5 cover?

Part 5 (Richard) spans Chapters 12 (Getting Inside) and 13 (Another Attempt), set inside and around the CEG HQ tower. The critical path involves restoring exterior power, collecting three projector components across floors 3-5, solving two boardroom puzzles, and reaching the 10th Floor elevator.

What is the critical path?

#	Objective	Required gate
1	Security booth button → Manager’s Office cabinet → Generator Key	Exterior approach
2	Exterior generator: rear levers, then red lever	Generator Key
3	Read both exterior computer emails before the lift	Power restored
4	Construction lift → scaffolding → open window; Shotgun on 2F	Exterior sweep complete
5	5F Boardroom sequence → Level 3/4 Access Card	Story progression
6	3F P.R. route → 4F Media → Storeroom Key → Projector Bulb	Level 3/4 card
7	Read Checkout Sheet → Finance 2709 → CFO desk Projector Lens	Card and Finance clue
8	Boardroom: Bulb → Lens → red switch	Both components
9	Take Maintenance Key from the body at the table	Initial projector sequence
10	Use Maintenance access to reach the Mezzanine Meeting Room → Projector Sliders	Maintenance Key
11	Boardroom: agenda / slides D-F-B-C-E-A → CEO Access Card	Slides and agenda
12	Finish the floor sweep, then use the CEO elevator to 10F	CEO Access Card

The projector guide explains the two separate visits. Maintenance Key comes before the Mezzanine slides, not after the final slide puzzle. Do not confuse it with the earlier Storeroom Key.

Before the exterior lift: read both computer emails

Restore power, then return to the first parking-lot building before riding the construction lift. Use the computer in its right-hand room and read both Facilities: Works Halted (top email) and DONTREAD.DOC (bottom email). These are Part 5 entries 4 and 5 on the Documents checklist.

PowerPyx added this warning after a player reported passing the exterior pickups and losing the return route at an autosave. Complete this check in the yard; the later CEO-elevator sweep does not replace it. On a Reject The Help run, keep the pickup check but continue avoiding manual saves.

How do I enter CEG HQ from the scaffolding?

1. After checking the two emails, return to the powered construction lift. Select Power, then the up arrow.
2. Exit onto the scaffold walkway and follow it left to the ladder route. Continue along the connected platforms and ladders toward the building.
3. Find the already open window at the end of that approach and crouch through it. AppMedia’s entry screenshot shows the opening beside the scaffold walkway; a closed pane of glass is not that pictured entry.
4. Once inside, take the door on the left to continue to the 2F sequence, then follow the main route toward the 5F Boardroom.

Facing a closed window? Recheck the connected scaffold route and locate the open frame before diagnosing a broken save. The diagram shows checkpoint order, not exact platform geometry. Written accounts differ on the first ladder’s up/down wording, so compare the AppMedia entry image with your position; this guide does not prescribe an unverified climb direction.

CEG floor route: which key opens the next stage?

Read the numbered route above alongside this diagram. There are three Boardroom stages: take the Level 3/4 card, assemble the projector to obtain the Maintenance Key, then return with the slides for the CEO card. The Storeroom Key, Maintenance Key and CEO card each open a different gate. The floor connections were rechecked against PowerPyx on 25 September; this is a progression diagram, not a surveyed floor plan or the altered CEG sequence from Part 6.

What can be missed in Part 5?

Use two checkpoints: collect the five exterior entries before the construction lift, then sweep the tower floors before the CEO elevator to 10F. Read CEG Tower: He’s Done at the 10F computer after riding it. Part 5 collectibles total 12 Documents and Clues. The Shotgun and optional supply rooms are separate from that collectible-family total. The supply-room codes below are not the Finance code and do not replace its clue.

The tower also introduces the Widow enemy reference. If working on combat counters, consider your ending plan before adding kills. Keep a phone save before the transition unless doing a no-manual-save challenge.

Optional supply rooms (not required for the story)

Three locked supply rooms around CEG HQ hold resources only — none gates the main route, and skipping all three costs nothing but loot. Each opens with its own keypad code; PowerPyx attributes all three to Richard’s Note:

Room	Floor	Code	Where the code comes from	Contents
Public Relations Records	3F	1607	Richard’s Note, found in the 3F P.R. area	Supplies
Operations Storage	2F	1306	Richard’s Note; reach Operations through Maintenance first	Resources
Administration Storage	1F	4512	Richard’s Note; door in southeast Administration	Resources

Evidence rechecked 25 September 2026: PowerPyx’s Part 5 page is now accessible and was read directly. It confirms 3F P.R. Records 1607, 2F Operations Storage 1306 and 1F Administration Storage 4512, all resources-only rooms. This replaces our earlier operator-transcribed evidence note; it remains one publisher’s walkthrough, not our playtest.

What comes after Part 5?

Part 6 (Simon) is the final part, covering Chapters 14-17 across the SWDP building and the chapter’s ending sequence. Continue with Part 6: Simon.
