Hellraiser: Revival Guide | How to Solve the Skull Puzzle

In Clive Barker's Hellraiser: Revival, the Skull Pin Puzzle requires you to press pins embedded in a human skull in the correct order to obtain the Tongue Key. You need this key to unlock the fleshy Mouth Door and continue through the cult compound.

To solve the Skull Puzzle, press the pins in the correct order, open the skull's jaw, and collect the Tongue Key hidden inside.

Where to Find the Skull Puzzle

You will encounter the Skull Puzzle early in the Escape the Cult section, after reaching the first save point and changing into fresh clothes.

Leave the room where you changed clothes and use the key you collected to unlock the blue door across the courtyard.

Sneak through the corridors while avoiding the patrolling cultists.

Continue through the office and bedroom area until you reach Bruno's studio.

Look for the human skull on the desk, covered in barbed wire and metal pins.

Interact with the skull to begin the puzzle.

How to Solve the Skull Pin Puzzle

Inspect the skull and rotate it to locate the pins. Press the pins in the following order:

Right side: Press the pin protruding from the skull's right side.

Upper back: Rotate the skull and press the pin near the top back.

Left side: Press the pin on the skull's left side.

Top center: Finish by pressing the pin in the center of the skull's top.

Once you press all four pins in the correct order, the skull's jaw opens, revealing the Tongue Key inside. Pick it up before leaving the inspection screen.

How to Unlock the Mouth Door

After obtaining the Tongue Key, return to the fleshy door in Bruno's studio. The door has a grotesque mouth in its center and cannot be opened normally.

Approach the Mouth Door.

Interact with the lock.

Select the Tongue Key from your inventory.

Once the door opens, go through to the catwalk above the operating theatre.

You can then continue exploring the cult compound and work toward escaping.
