Silent Hill TownfallClamp release procedure
puzzle guide.

Use a control-by-control checklist to configure the clamp panel and release the mechanism.

SWDP · Control room · By Silent Townfall editorial · Checked 27 September 2026

Start with a hint

Only open the level of help you want. The answer and full steps remain folded away until you choose them.

01   A gentle nudge

There is no required order for setting the panel. Every control must match the Clamp Release Procedure document before the final button becomes available.

02   Show the specific clue

Check the two balance controls, both notification switches, and the report lights individually. A partially correct panel will not release.

03   Reveal the answer & full solution

THE ANSWER

D71 · Batteries B / C · Reports 1, 3, 6
CONNECTION: D71; REPORT ON: 1, 3, 6; BATTERIES: B / C; BOTH BALANCE: Intermediate
Use this reference alongside the steps below. Labels are a schematic, not the game interface.

Step-by-step solution

  1. Set both BALANCE controls to Intermediate. Switch on both NOTIFY options: SELF and ALL.
  2. Set RUN OFF to Disengaged and enter D71 in CLAMP CONNECTION.
  3. Turn on REPORT lights 1, 3, and 6; leave the other report lights off.
  4. Set PRESSURE CONTROL to SET and INTUBATE FLOW to NONE.
  5. Set BATTERY ONE to B and BATTERY TWO to C.
  6. Once the green activation/release button flashes, press it. Then go down to the red crank and turn it.

Still stuck?

This checklist begins at the final clamp panel. It does not replace the earlier CCTV and auxiliary-lines tasks. If the button is not flashing, recheck both balance dials and all report lights against the procedure document.
