Key of the Persecuted

The Key of the Persecuted is found in the labyrinthine area in Silent Hill 2 and is obtained after solving the Free the Innocent Man puzzle. After pulling the correct noose, the key will be left on the ground below whomever was wrongly persecuted. It is then used to remove the handcuffs that are keeping a wall valve from turning in a nearby corridor. After the handcuffs are removed, the valve raises a gate that previously blocked James Sunderland's path.
