Labyrinth is the 11th area in Silent Hill 2 Remake. This 100% walkthrough will guide you to all collectibles in chronological order. Everything that’s needed for trophies, achievements and 100% completion is included: Memos, Strange Photos, Glimpses from the Past, Key Items, Puzzle Solutions, Trophies & Achievements.
All Collectibles must be found in a single playthrough. Everything is missable! After leaving an area you can’t go back. There’s no Chapter Select and no Free-Roam after the story. Collectibles don’t carry over into New Game Plus either. The game has 10 manual save slots, make use of this by saving in different slots regularly. If you missed anything you can reload a previous save to replay from there.
The Memos and Strange Photos you found can be viewed in the Inventory Menu by pressing the Touchpad. Glimpses from the Past can’t be tracked anywhere. This guide is intended for the “Light” or “Standard” Puzzle Difficulty, the solutions for both difficulties will be mentioned. Combat difficulty does not matter, all Trophies can be done on “Light” difficulty.

Glimpse of the Past #22
From the Suspended Cage room, take the western path and to your immediate right will be a breakable wall. Smash it and go through to find a broken noose you can examine.

Key Item: Lighter Gas
Now take the eastern path and follow it through until you arrive at an apartment. Open the fridge inside to find the Lighter Gas.
Key Item: Broken Lighter
Use the Iron Key on the door at the beginning of the eastern path, then shimmy through the hole in the wall to find a valve. Turn it, then return to the room and search the bathtub for the lighter.
Key Item: Lighter
Combine the Lighter Wick, Lighter Gas and Broken Lighter. Use this on the rope in the Suspended Cage room to break open the ground.
Warning: Point of No Return
Once you jump down the hole you won’t be able to return to the Rotten Area, so make sure you have everything first.

Key Item: Wirecutter
After climbing out of the octagonal area, follow the path to find some wirecutters in a power box. Afterward, climb back down to the Flooded Level and use the Wirecutters on the Wires (will be circled red on your map, at the northernmost point of Flooded Level).
Warning: Point of No Return
Once you jump down the hole you won’t be able to return to the Desolate Area, so make sure you have everything first.
Strange Photo #21: “Your Best Buddy!”
When returning to the rotating cube for the third time, rotate it up twice so it shows the scratched out symbol. Go inside and down the stairs to find the photo on the floor. Highly Missable! Once you enter the Ruined Area you won’t be able to get this.
Map: Ruined Area Map
After you got the Strange Photo, rotate the cube twice to the left to the face with two downward triangles. Then go downstairs and exit through the back of the cube. The map appears automatically when entering the Ruined Area.
Trophy: A Human Being
After the fight in the meat locker.

Angel says
What kind of 100% guide is this? You left out all the items that help you get the new endings. That’s not 100%, that’s like 85% at best.

There is a page at the end of the collectible guide for New Game+ specifically to avoid confusing people with too much NG+ info in the individual chapter guides: Silent Hill 2 Remake New Game Plus Collectible Locations

There are no NG+ items in Labyrinth, so chill.
