10 Impossible Video Game Puzzles That Drove Us Insane
10. Silent Hill 3 - Shakespeare Poem Puzzle
Are you well-versed in the works of Shakespeare, cryptic Shakespearian English concocted by Konami, and obscure mathematics? Well then youll have little trouble with this puzzle - which somehow manages to be the most nightmarish facet of a famously scary game. If you're playing on hard mode, you must read a poem written in Shakespearian English, in which each verse refers to a different Shakespeare play that's sitting on the bookshelf. You must work out which plays the stanzas refer to, then place them on the bookshelf in the order that they're referenced in the poem. As if that wasn't convoluted enough, the second-to-last verse makes numerical references to three of the plays, and you must multiply the numbers mentioned by the anthology number of the play they refer to (shown in the picture). For example, two youths shed tears for three refers to Romeo and Juliet, so you must multiply 3 by the books anthology number, which is 1, to get the code number. Unravelling the infamous Shakespeare Anthology on hard mode will lead you to hours of frustration, followed by despair, followed by shamefully fleeing to Google in search of the solution.
