Silent Hill: Townfall Part 5 Richard Walkthrough (CEG HQ)

Part 5 of Silent Hill: Townfall hands you a new protagonist, Richard, the disgraced CEO of CEG, and drops you outside the company’s headquarters. The whole section runs through the CEG HQ tower, from restoring power to the construction elevator to lighting a boardroom projector that finally opens the way to the Tenth Floor.

Quick answer: Turn on the generator, ride the construction elevator inside, then gather the Projector Bulb (Fourth Floor storeroom), Projector Lens (Third Floor CFO office) and Projector Slides (Mezzanine) and load the slides in the order D, F, B, C, E, A to unlock the CEO Access Card.

Restore power and get inside CEG HQ

The tower is wrapped in scaffolding, so the main entrance is sealed. You need to power the construction elevator on the side of the building, and that means starting the generator first.

Enter the yellow security booth in front of the HQ and press the control button to open the car park gate. Head into the car park.

On the area’s left, locate the house with the brown door, then use the garage beside it. The garage contains the CEG Kiosk Note; the hallway has a save phone; and upstairs, the Manager’s Office holds the Generator Key and the CEG Memo.

Take the Generator Key to the generator at the north end of the car park. Insert the key and try to start it, and you will get a pump error.

Walk around the back of the generator and turn only the third, rightmost pump. Return to the front and start it again. Power is now restored to the area.

Before leaving, visit the Visitors/Employee Sign In building. Switch on the PC and open the DONTREAD.DOC email to find the Locker Code: 147, which opens the storage locker in the room for a First Aid Kit.

Ride the construction elevator by pressing Power and the up arrow. At the top, climb the scaffolding, go left to a ladder, then climb down the next ladder and crouch through the open window to reach the interior.

Exit through the door on your left. A cutscene shows Richard finding his own corpse with a shotgun beside it, which you pick up. Richard bodies are scattered throughout the tower, and most carry ammunition or healing items, so loot every one you pass.

Move through the cafeteria and down the hallway to an elevator, then climb the stairwell to its right. Beside another body you will find the CEG HQ Maps, a set of six covering the first through fifth floors and the Mezzanine.

Reach the Fifth Floor Boardroom

After the first stairwell you land on the Third Floor. Take the south stairwell up to the Fourth Floor, then the southwest stairwell up to the Fifth Floor. You can explore and loot each floor along the way, but nothing here blocks progress.

Go to the elevator on the Fifth Floor; a cutscene causes it to fail and reveals the Boardroom. Once inside, take the Access Card Level 3/4 from the desks. The projector at the room’s center does not work. Its note says the lens and bulb are damaged, with replacements located in the Media Department Storeroom on the Fourth Floor.

Door codes and access reference

Richard’s Note, found beside a body in the bottom-right office of Public Relations on the Third Floor, lists the three supply-room codes. The Finance code comes from the CEG Checkout Sheet in the Media Department Storeroom. Keep these handy as you move between floors.

Lock	Location	Code
Storage locker	Visitors/Employee Sign In building	147
Finance keypad	Third Floor (with Access Card)	2709
First Floor Storeroom	First Floor	4512
Second Floor Storage	Second Floor	1306
Third Floor Records	Third Floor	1607

The three numbered storerooms from Richard’s Note hold supplies only, so you can skip them if you are short on time.

Collect the projector bulb, lens and slides

The projector needs three parts spread across the tower. Gather them in order and the puzzle comes together quickly.

Projector Bulb — Fourth Floor

Return to the Third Floor and use the Access Card to enter the western side. Head into Public Relations through the southmost entrance near the stairwell. A save phone sits in the first office on your left.

Pick up Richard’s Note from the body in the bottom-right office of PR, then take the stairwell inside PR up to the Media Department on the Fourth Floor.

Grab the CEG Storeroom Key from a body in the office to the west, then unlock the Storeroom. Inside the General Storage locker you will find the Projector Bulb and the CEG Checkout Sheet, which reveals the Finance code 2709.

Projector Lens — Third Floor

Go back to the Third Floor and open Finance using the Access Card on the scanner followed by the code 2709.

Enter the room marked CFO on your map and open the desk drawer to take the Projector Lens. There are also three Shotgun Rounds on the body in the room and a med kit with Alcohol and Gauze.

Return to the Boardroom on the Fifth Floor and fit both the Bulb and the Lens into the projector, then press the power switch. The room transforms, the attendees become Richard corpses, and one of them holds the CEG Maintenance Key while the screen shows the Meeting Agenda.

Projector Slides — Mezzanine

Leave the Boardroom and use the CEG Maintenance Key on the Maintenance room to your right. Its ladders drop straight down to the Second Floor, giving you a fast route between floors.

Take the ladders to the Second Floor, pass through Operations and exit west, then go down the stairwell to the First Floor. Cross through IT, exit east, and take the stairwell in the bottom-right corner of your map down to the Mezzanine.

Enter the Gallery Meeting Room and collect the Projector Slides from the desk. There are also four Shotgun Rounds on the floor and a First Aid Kit in the storage locker.

Solve the boardroom projector slide puzzle

Back in the Boardroom, the projector needs all six slides loaded in the order set by the Meeting Agenda on the screen. Hold LB on a controller or LCtrl on PC while away from the projector to inspect each slide; holding them against the screen makes the images easier to read.

Use the agenda to identify the matching slide for every item, then place those slides into slots 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 in that order.

Slot	Agenda item	Slide
1	Recent Headlines	D
2	External Demonstrations	F
3	Company Hierarchy	B
4	Financial Projections	C
5	Public Inquiry	E
6	Counter Arguments	A

Once the slides are in and you press play, a cutscene plays showing the meeting about Richard’s future at CEG and reveals Simon as his star witness. You unlock the CEO Access Card at the end of it.

Take the elevator to the Tenth Floor

Check the map to see a circle marking the elevator north of the Boardroom. Enter it, press 10, and ride upward. Since the Tenth Floor has just one office you can access, enter that room.

The office begins a cutscene with Simon, Zoe, and Richard, the three playable characters. Its conclusion finishes Part 5 and starts Simon’s final section at CEG HQ.
