TIPS AND STRATEGIES ************************* =-=-= Menus =-=-= =========== Main Screen =========== --------------- Beginning Video --------------- Is there a beginning video in this game? Yes, but it takes time for it to come up, around a minute. It is always the same so it won't change when you beat the game. there are a few scenes which are not in the game because they were taken out. -------- New Game -------- Starting a New Game isn't like continuing from the file you beat the game in. If you start a new game without loading your game it will be overwritten when you save. Try to avoid this a load your game whenever you want to play again. But if you want to just play a new game you can use this. And your first time through Silent Hill 2 you will have to start a New Game. -------- Continue -------- This option will only work when you have a game saved on your Memory Card or Hard Drive. If not you won't be able to use it because there is nothing to continue from. When you use the Continue option you will start from where you last saved. It loads very fast which is a good thing. This loads the most recent save from your memory so in order to load another game you will need to use the Load option to load the other file. Once you beat Silent Hill 2 you can use the Continue option to load your stats and then start another game safely. ---- Load ---- You you load you game it is just like continue, only you see the load screen and get to use which file you want to load. So if you want to load a different file that was saved most recent, you will have to use the Load option to load the game. This option can also be used for loading games the not most recent files that are completed. But if the most recent file has the game cleared you can just use Continue to load it faster. ------ Option ------ Yes, it is called Option but they do mean Options. In the Options menu you can change things like the control style, walk/run control etc. Check out the Controls section for more info. ============================ Loading and Saving Your Game ============================ After you beat a game of Silent Hill 2 you will see a ranking screen with all of your stats from the game you just played. When you load your game after you saved the Clear Data it will go to that same ranking screen. Press A and then go to New Game and select the Action and Riddle Mode (Only Action Mode in Sub Scenario). It is important to do this because if you just turn on Silent Hill 2 after you beat the game already and just start a new game it is not the same file and when you save it will overwrite your other date, if saved on the same file. So that game will be lost which is not good. But you can save it on a different file if you wish, but I recommend getting all the endings on one save file. If you wish, you can make an alternate save just in case you think you won't beat some part, if you want to do a certain thing at that part whenever you want or more things like that. Even right after you beat the game and you want to play again you still have to load your game and then make a new game. This happens to many people very often and might happen to you. But as long as you listen to the above instructions you'll be fine. ================ Save/Load Screen ================ When you save or load your game there is your file (if you have one) and spots for other possible saves. This is only one part of the Save/Load screen. You can use the D=Pad to go left or right and see your total time for a file or which endings you have. Below is what each letter means: (No particular order for this list) L - Leave M - Maria W- In Water R - Rebirth D - Dog U - UFO X - Sub Scenario =-=-=-=-=-= Game Basics =-=-=-=-=-= ========================== Don't let sounds scare you ========================== ------ Camera ------ The camera angles in Silent Hill 2 may be annoying to some people but I don't find them at all. But most of the time you can change the camera angle so it is behind your character like in buildings and sometimes on the street. But in some angles it will just go a little bit father than you're current angle and sometimes you won't be able to see your character but you can just let go of the button. To reposition the camera angle like mentioned above press and hold the Left Trigger. In buildings it will stay behind your character when you hold it for a little but but to see further on the streets you will need to hold the Left Trigger to keep the view. You can also free-look whenever you want. Hold the Left Trigger and move the Right Thumbstick to the direction you want to look at. In large area you character's head will just move but it can look cool. But it usually shows you the direction that you hold. ------------------------ Static and Sudden Noises ------------------------ Yeah, sure they're scary but you don't need to turn around on the long beginning pathway. Sounds of somewhat similar to a dog's bark will be heard and may scare you. Other sounds like sudden noises are just to make you feel scared. You have the Radio for a reason, so when it's on, there is only a monster near you when you hear the static from the Radio. But You cannot hear the static when Doormen and near you unless the are very close to you. But if you hear a sudden crash and the Radio is on, don't worry about it. The Radio doesn't appear to work in Boss Fights but you don't really need it, it would probably just annoy you and you already know the enemy is there. So when you hear a sound don't always think it's an enemy and keep your Radio on. -------------------- Sounds and Subtitles -------------------- As you will notice when you watch videos in Silent Hill 2, there is a lot of sounds and character lines. Subtitles will capture everything said and will capture what James is thinking and some points. He doesn't talk out loud always because he is usually alone but he does sometimes. ============= Using the Map ============= Yes, you have a map in this game. It should be your best friend. It guides you on your journey in Silent Hill. You will get several maps, usually when you enter a building. For one area, James draws his own map, since there obviously wouldn't be one hanging around in that area. Your map is VERY useful. If you are using the FAQ to guide you through Silent Hill 2 then you will need to use the map to figure out where to go in most areas. But don't worry, I describe every location for all the maps and there's even a Weapon/Item/Map List in this FAQ, so check out that if you can't find a map. In dark areas, you will only be able to view your map with your Flashlight turned on or light spots in dark areas. To view your map just simply press the Y. You can also go to Map in the Menu but why do that when you can just press Y? To be honest, I use my maps a lot. I know how to beat the game without this guide or the Strategy Guide but I still find the maps very useful and you should too. Without a map for some areas you can be completely lost so use it wisely. ============================== Using the Radio and Flashlight ============================== In Silent Hill 2 you will receive a Radio and a Flashlight whether you like it or not; you have to get them. But why wouldn't you want them? They are both very excellent devices and can't be turned on or off. You first find the Radio and it appears to be broken, with a strange message on it when you get it. But as you find enemies you will notice that it will create static. This is simply to alert the player that there's an enemy nearby. The monsters cannot hear this so it is pointless to turn it off. The Radio is actually very helpful because some enemies can be right in front of you and you can't hear them, and the camera isn't always on them so keep the Radio on. You find the Flashlight after the Radio but it is very useful, too. You don't need it right away because you are outside and it's light at the time. You will need to use it in dark areas for a few reasons: You won't be able to view your map unless you find a light spot, you can't unlock doors with keys because it just says they're locked and James can't find the keyhole anyway, You can't use other object from the menu because it says it can't be used here and you wont be able to pick up items unless they are in light spots. So be smart and keep your Flashlight on most of the time. Apparently you can turn your Flashlight off and just simply walk by enemies but I have tried this and it doesn't seem to work. If it has worked for you, e-mail me and tell me what you did. You can toggle your Flashlight on and off with the White Button. Keeping it on in the day light is pointless but it doesn't waste the battery, so if you keep it on it's fine. ===== Memos ===== You may not think so but these can be useful. Especially for certain puzzles. Memos are gathered after viewing notes that you find; not all notes are memos for some reason, though. But in the Memo Section of this FAQ you will find even some that don't count as Memos. ======= Running ======= Yeah, you may not feel so tough running away but the monsters in Silent Hill 2 are worth running away from. Especially, on the streets, try not to waste your time killing demons because it is pretty pointless, unless you are going for a better Ranking. Running away from demons doesn't make you a wussie. It is actually quite smart to do this. But if you are trapped you can't really run so just deal with the enemies. ================= Ammo Conservation ================= A very important thing, very important. You don't want to go around Rambo style shooting everywhere; you will run out of ammo very quickly. Shooting an enemy on the ground can be pointless on Normal and Hard Action Mode because they have a lot of health. And remember, shooting an enemy just makes it prone so James can kick it, always remember to kick enemies to finish them off. But on easier Action Modes it can be easier to kill enemies enemies with guns. ============= Melee Weapons ============= You have them for a reason. For ammo conservation. When you're running low on ammo or don't even have a gun you should use a melee weapon. There is a few of them. There is Wooden Plank, Steel Pipe and Great Knife. Best overall would be Steel Pipe, but Wooden Plank is the easiest one to use and the Great Knife is the most powerful weapon in the game, although it lacks in speed. ========== Soft Reset ========== What is Soft Reset? Well, it is a function so that once you're in the game you don't have reset the console to get back to the Main Menu. For many other games you actually do have to reset the console. Once you're in the game just hold Start and Back for about 3 seconds and you will be transported to the Main Menu. You might be wondering, why for 3 seconds? Well, would you want it to go back to the main menu when you pressed these 2 buttons when you were doing good and/or hadn't saved in awhile? I'm sure you'd feel frustrated so instead of only pressing them, you hold them, which is good enough. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Combat Strategies =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ================= Suggested Weapons ================= -------------- Patient Demons -------------- These enemies are easy to find and easy to kill. When you encounter one on the streets, just simply run by it. Inside buildings the best weapons would be the Wooden Plank and the Handgun. If low on ammo use the Wooden Plank but if you're fine the handgun would be the best weapon. One would think that the Shotgun is good on Patient Demons but it isn't really. If you are at medium range it takes about the same amount of shots. And the Shotgun takes longer to ready your aim and the firing rate is too slow. The Handgun is the best way to deal with patient Demons. In the Sub Scenario the easiest and best way to deal with Patient Demons is to use to the Revolver. On the streets, there isn't much of a point to but it can be fun to use the Chinese Cleaver. ------------- Giant Roaches ------------- Roaches aren't much of a threat but they can really annoy you and lower your health to red. You want to try to make James step on it with his heel. If you can't seem to this this and the Roach is really annoying you, you should only use the Handgun, 1 shot. Shotgun is just ridiculous, although I don't think they're anywhere when you have the Shotgun, except for the Roach Trap. In the Sub Scenario, try to make Maria step on the Roach with her heel but if you have trouble just shoot one Revolver shot at it to take care of it. ---------- Mannequins ---------- The enemies won't cause much harm at all if you know what you're doing. The appear to be on standby when you aren't close to them but the start up when you move closer. You can just use the Handgun will ease, but you can also you use Wooden Plank or the Steel Pipe and it can be pretty easy. But if you're gonna try to use the Great Knife on one, I suggest you use the Hyper Spray first. In the Sub Scenario with Maria just use the Revolver with ease or use the Chinese Cleaver to show it who's boss. ------------ Nurse Demons ------------ Nurse Demons are slightly more strong than Patient Demons. It is best to only use the Handgun. Probably the best and only weapon to kill Nurses. They carry Steel Pipe so watch out and keep your distance. ------------ Underhangers ------------ There is no real point in killing Underhangers. You only encounter under 10 and you can dodge them very easily. Just run by them on the opposite side of them if you can. But if you really feel like killing them use the Shotgun. It should only take a few shots and since you can't kick the demon it will just die and fall off the gated floor. ------- Doormen ------- You only encounter 4 of these demons and a Boss version of one. The one and only suggested weapon is the Shotgun. Usually 2 shots and it will fall to the ground. You won't always have to kick them once they're prone unless you're on higher difficulties. For the Boss Doorman, use the Shotgun and fire only 2 shots each time and it will fall to the ground. Try to run to the other side of the rom before it gets up and do the same It only takes about 6 shots to kill the monster, so it isn't that hard. Never use the Rifle on Doormen, it takes way to long to ready your aim, firing rate is too slow and it inflicts just about the same power at the Shotgun at close range. The Handgun is too weak though, so just stick with the Shotgun. ------------ Pyramid Head ------------ Once word, run. Whenever you encounter this "red pyramid thing" you should always either run the opposite direction or run past it if you can. But when you encounter Pyramid Head in a Boss situation use the Handgun for the first battle. Or you can just not shoot it at all and just run back and fourth to each side. I think it does take longer to do this but you save a lot of bullets. For the Pyramid Head Duo use the Hunting Rifle because of its power and the Pyramid Heads don't move to fast. Try to fire around 1-3 shots but near the end they go slower and you can try to take off 4 shots. You can also use the Handgun and fire a lot more shots but its power is way weaker and it could take a lot longer. Just stick with the Hunting Rifle. =============== Kicking Enemies =============== When you use a weapon on a demon it just makes it prone so James can kick it. Or Maria in the Sub Scenario. So after the enemy falls to the ground you will have to go up to the demon and kick it to finish it off. This is why the static doesn't stop once the demon is on the ground, because it isn't dead yet. Sometimes the demon may already be dead, so you won't have to kick it. But if the Radio's static stops it is ok. =============== Pushing Enemies =============== Yes, you can actually push enemies. In 2 instances near the end of the game you have to do this but I won't spoil it for you. To push an enemy just simply run at it and your character will be running on the spot, in front of the enemy but it will slowly be forced to move and you can get by. You don't have to do this anywhere else but if an enemy is blocking your way and you don't feel like killing it just push it out of the way. I don't think it's possible to push Doormen but I am not sure of it. I wouldn't try it anyway, it's a risk of being attacked. This will work best on Mannequins because of their standby function but it can still work well with Patient Demons and Nurse Demons. There is too much risk with Doormen and I am sure that you can't push Pyramid Head, who would try it anyway? ========== Surrounded ========== Yeah, you've gone and done it, the monsters are now surrounding you, how will you get out? Well, some rooms you can be ambushed by 2 enemies right after you enter a room. Your character is vulnerable while the screen is black, going back to the game. So when you access the menu you enter and room you will not be able to see you character for a brief amount of time but you can still move. Anyway, when you're surrounded by enemies, the best way to go is the Shotgun. It shoots fast enough and is very powerful at close range. The Handgun is too weak and the Rifle takes way to long. But you can actually try pushing your way through the enemies (see Pushing Enemies above) but you risk being attacked. So try to push your way through if you want and if you can't, use the Shotgun. ========================= Fighting Multiple Enemies ========================= This is not when you're surrounded but simply when you have 2 or more enemies in your sights and are coming for you. The Handgun is the best gun to use on the 3 basic enemies (Patient Demon, Mannequin, Nurse Demon) so use it the most. When you targets aren't really close to you then the Handgun is really good. At close range try to use the Shotgun, that is if they're very close. If they are really far away and you have enough ammo for it then try to use the Hunting Rifle. Make sure you don't use it on Doormen though, it's horrible. With Doormen, they only come in groups of 2 (besides the boss) but the Shotgun is still the best and only suggested weapon for them. For the Hangers Boss use the Shotgun also, the Handgun is too weak for the beginning. But to conserve ammo use the Handgun for the last Hanger if you want. For the Doorman and Eddie, Shotgun is also the best but use the Great Knife at the beginning of the Eddie fight to make him run to the next room. In this room use the Shotgun until he starts going behind the meat racks. Then use the Handgun, which makes it much easier to hit Eddie. For the last boss you should only use the Hunting Rifle, unless you run out of ammo, but you shouldn't. ======== Strafing ======== With 3D Control in Silent Hill 2, you can strafe and sidestep. With normal Walk/Run Control you can press X or B appropriately, and you will sidestep to the direction you wanted to. X is left and B is right. When you do the same thing and hold the Black Button, you will strafe in the direction you wanted to. The directions are the same but you will go faster in that direction. It is better to switch the Walk/Run Control so you don't have to hold the Black Button when you want to strafe. And to sidestep with it changed, just press the Black Button and X or B appropriately. So when you have an enemy right in front of you, just strafe out of the way if you can, andcontinue. But if you're using 2D Control, you can't strafe because it's easy enough to get out of situation like the above with 2D Control. ========= Reloading ========= Reloading can be a big problem in some fights. Especially in Boss Fights and with multiple enemies. But there is an easier way so that your character will not have to reload themself in the game. Simply go into the menu and go to the firearm you're using and put Reload. Now go back into the game and continue what you were doing. You don't need to do this to beat bosses but it absolutely makes it easier. Try to use every bullet before doing this, so count off all the shots in your head. But if you have time to reload and you have 1 or 2 bullets left then you might as well reload. But if yo have 4 or more you should wait until you have 0. =-=-=--=-=-= Health Items =-=-=--=-=-= On your way through Silent Hill you will find various health items which will help you get through the game. Without these you would die probably about 90% more, really. On Beginner Action Level you actually don't need these at all, though. But on Hard there is probably no way you'd beat the game without health items because of a certain part. You can find them on the street, in buildings and other places. ================= The Health System ================= This is what colour the little screen in at the top left corner or the in-game menu: Green - Great Normal - Fine Normal with little static - Ok Normal with a lot of major static - Pretty Bad Slightly Red - Very Bad Colourful Red - Terrible! ------------- Health Drinks ------------- Health Drinks are the easiest to find. But unlike SH1, they are not very powerful, you'll need probably 3 to 6 to get from red to green health with them, but they are still good. You find a lot of them in Silent Hill 2 but that doesn't mean that they aren't very important. Without them you would need to use a full First Aid Kit for a small wound if you wanted full health. If you get attacked 1-2 times (depends which enemy), 1 Health Drink should be enough. But obviously if you receive more hits you will have to use more Health Drinks. But this is where First Aid Kits come in. -------------- First Aid Kits -------------- First Aid Kits aren't that hard to find and they are really good. It is good to use First Aid Kits and Health Drinks together because you don't want to waste a First Aid Kit on something minor. A First Aid Kit can heal you to full health after about 5 hits, which is pretty amazing. it will take 2-3 to get from red health to green health. Try to not use them on minor wounds, instead wait until you have lower health and then use one. But it is very safe to just use a Health Drink every or every other time you get damaged, although you don't need to. -------- Ampoules -------- Ampoules cover your health for long periods of time. But if you have red health and you use an Ampoule, after the time is over you will go back to red health, so don't count on being safe with just one Ampoule. But they are good if you use multiple Ampoules. However, you don't get a lot of Ampoules so don't count on only using them. You should only use an Ampoule if you have really low health and saving your health items for bosses or you have no other health items. If this should ever happen be very cautious, meaning try to stay away from enemies and run right past them on the streets and look for health items on the streets. ================= Recovering Health ================= Once you have been attacked and your health isn't so great then you should use a health item. But while you're going to to menu and exiting the menu you are vulnerable to enemies around you and you can't see for a very brief amount of time so in very important fights you should try a faster way. So instead of going into the menu and using a health item, press the Left Thumbstick (push it in) and James will use his strongest health item. His first choice is the First Aid Kit, then the Health Drink and then the Ampoule when you have nothing else left. You might wonder when to know to press the Right Thumbstick. Well, you will be able to feel James' heartbeat from the vibration of the controller. You will feel the heartbeat if has pretty bad, bad or terrible health. The harder you feel it, the worse condition James is. =-=-= Items =-=-= =========== Using Items =========== ---- Keys ---- On your journey in Silent Hill you will find many items. A lot of them will be keys so get used to finding many keys. Keys are not usually not found at very obvious places but they aren't that hard to using. To use a key all you will need to do is go up to a door that you have a key for and press A to use it and then go through the door. But not all keys are like this. The above is for opening doors. For other things like something stuck to something and you can use a key, you will have to use it in the menu. For locks on certain items you will need to use them in a menu but you can save time if there's 2 items (see Combining Items) that are used on the same thing. Keys are found the most besides health items (which you don't absolutely always need) but not always you will use a key right after you get it. ----------- Other Items ----------- There are other items that are not keys but can be just as or more important than keys. Items like a Lighter for example can't be used by just walking up to where you use it, you will have to use it in the menu Like keys, other items can be combined and sometimes will have to be combined, but there is more instances where you combine other items. --------------- Combining Items --------------- Combing items can be an easier way to use items so that you don't have to go back to the menu and use each of the number of items used on the same thing. But in some instances you will have to combine items. So in order to combine and use items you must go on one of the items, press A, put "Combine", press B, go to the next item and repeat this process until you have all the items you're going to use combined and press "Use" Over one of the already combined items. But not all items can be combined. So if there is a key to a certain room and a key to another room there won't even be a "Combine" option for either of them. And some other items that can be combined like a ring and a key for example, you won't be able to use it because it can't be used, unless there is a keyhole and a spot for a ring which there never is in Silent Hill 2. ************************* 4. DIFFICULTY SETTINGS ************************* Before you play a game of Silent Hill 2 you will need to choose 2 levels of difficulty for gameplay and puzzles. They are: ============ Action Level ============ -------- Beginner -------- Enemies die after they receive 1 or 2 hits from your weakest Firearm and will fall to the ground and die. You don't have to reload any of your Firearms. If you are being held by a monster, James shake himself out of the attack automatically. Bosses are very easy and move slow and you can easily beat the game without receiving any hits. Enemies don't regenerate. This is obviously the easiest Action Level and you shouldn't have any problems with it. When you first play Silent Hill 2 this Action Level is good to start on. But after that you are just being a menace to the monsters since it will be even easier. And for the boat stage you use the D-Pad to control the boat which is easy. ---- Easy ---- This Action level is very similar to Beginner but when enemies receive 2 hits they will fall to the ground and you must kick them to finish them off. Bosses are still easy but aren't as easy and are half as much as their usual strength. None or few enemies will regenerate. And for the boat stage you use the D-Pad to control the boat which is easy. ------ Normal ------ For hardcore Silent Hill gamers Normal Action Level is a good way to play either the first or second time through the game. It is self-explanatory because it is called "Normal" and this is how Silent Hill 2 is supposed to be played. Enemies will fall to the ground in 3 to 4 shots from your weakest Firearm. You will have to kick enemies after you shoot them to the ground, unless you took many shots at the enemy and it is already dead. Enemies tend to regenerate sometimes. If you are grabbed by an enemy you must use the movement controls and the shoulder buttons to get out of the attack. You will always have to reload your weapon yourself. And for the boat stage you use the D-Pad to control the boat which is easy. ---- Hard ---- This is obviously the hardest difficulty in Silent Hill 2. Enemies will take 4 to 5 shots to just fall down and then you will have to kick them. Bosses have full strength and speed. Enemies regenerate a lot and if you don't kick an enemy after it's on the ground it will get right back up and have very close to full strength! James tends be very clumsy like Harry in SH1. He will somewhat trip over himself when you try to stop or when you run into wall and hit the wall, causing you to slow down. But unlike SH1, James will always do this if you're running fast and run to a door, trying to open it, and then James will James will go through the door. James aiming won't be as great as in other modes but it isn't that noticeable. And for the boat stage you will have to use both Thumbsticks to control the boat which can be hard. ============ Riddle Level ============ ---- Easy ---- All puzzles are fairly easy and you are pretty much told the answer by memos. But this is a good way to start your first journey and to know what the puzzles are like. ------ Normal ------ Moderate puzzles but some can be difficult. Others are still pretty easy. You aren't told the answer but it is described in a riddle. ---- Hard ---- Puzzles are hard to solve and require maybe brief amounts of thinking. Other puzzles can be really hard and one is completely random. ---------- Extra Hard ---------- Puzzles are very hard and require a lot of thinking. Some will even make you guess and frustration is commonly caused by this mode. You will be able to play this mode once you beat the game on all 3 Riddle Levels. There is no Extra Hard Riddle Level option but when you go to Hard Riddle Level it is the Extra Hard Riddle Level. If you had problems with previous puzzles than I don't recommend you play this difficulty yet and instead ************************* MAIN SCENARIO ************************* ************************* 5. STORYLINE ************************* James Sunderland received a letter from his wife that has been dead for 3 years. The envelope has his wife's name on it, Mary. It read: In my restless dreams, I see that town. Silent Hill. You promised me you'd take me there again someday. But you never did. Well, I'm alone there now... In our "special place..."

A strange woman that James meets in Silent Hill. She could be the twin sister of Mary, except for a few physical and behavioral characteristics. Maria used to work at Heaven's Night before Silent Hill went insane. She is cheerful and positive but can be very emotional in certain situations. She talks looking straight at the other person's eyes and she does the same when listening. Maria seems a little strange and she knows James' name without him telling her. ************************* 7. ENEMIES ************************* -------------- Patient Demons -------------- ------------------------------------ Locations: Throughout the whole game ------------------------------------ This is the first demon James encounters. Patient Demons have 2 attacks in different stances. When the demon is standing up, it will attack by spitting a yellow acid-like spray at James, which stuns him. When the demon face down on the ground, the attack will be scrambling towards James and hitting him, which inflicts mild damage. When you encounter patient demons use the Wooden Plank or Steel Pipe if your ammo is scarce. If not, use the Handgun. Knock the demon down to the ground by hitting it with a melee weapon or shooting it down with the Handgun, and then finish the demon off by kicking it once. If you do not kick the demon when it is on the ground, it will get back up and will have nearly full health, so make sure you always kick the demon when it is on the ground. This goes for all demons, unless they die before you get a chance to kick them, or if you can't kick them at all. If you do not want to fight a patient demon just run away. If you are in a dark area, you can simply walk right by them without them knowing you are there. ------------- Giant Roaches ------------- -------------------------------------------------------- Locations: Throughout the game but usually on the street -------------------------------------------------------- You can hear a roach by listening for a buzzing/cricket like sound. A roach has 1 type of attack. It will run towards you and will bite James' foot. To deal with a roach, simply run away until it's gone or just run at it so that James' heel of his shoe will crush it. But if it is really annoying you use the Handgun, 1 shot. If you in an open area, like the streets, roaches will try to run away, but if you are in a small area, it is very likely that they will try to attack you. ---------- Mannequins ---------- ------------------------------------ Locations: Throughout the whole game ------------------------------------ Mannequins have only one attack. Their attack is at extremely close range, so they are pretty easy to get by. Their attack is whacking James with one of its arms/legs. This attack is a powerful so stay away from mannequins. But do not worry about using a melee weapon on them, but don't under-exaggerate them. If you have lots of ammo, use the Handgun to deal with them. ------------ Nurse Demons ------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------- Locations: Brookhaven and "Nightmare" Hospital and just outside the hospital in Dark South Vale ------------------------------------------------------------------- Nurse Demon's are only in Brookhaven Hospital and on the streets, so you don't have to worry much about encountering them. Nurse Demons carry steel pipes, very similar to James'. They have one attack. It is whacking James with their steel pipe. This inflicts quite a bit of damage. The nurses may attack you when you least expect it, so be careful. If there a two nurses, in front, and behind each other, there is a very good chance that the nurse behind will whack the nurse in the front, just trying to hit you if you are near them. To deal with a nurse use the Handgun. But if you are extremely low on ammo, use the Steel Pipe. ------------ Underhangers ------------ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Locations: Gate floors - Dark South Vale, The Labyrinth and "Nightmare" Hotel ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Underhangers are found under gate floors. Their attack is shooting tendrils at your feet with their huge arms, if you are above them. This will stun James. When you encounter a lair of Underhangers, Just run over them, dodging their attacks, and look for safe spots, where they can't attack you. Attempting to kill an underhanger is a waste of time, so just run away. But if you want to kill it just for fun, use the Shotgun. ------- Doormen ------- ------------------------------------------------ Locations: Lake View Hotel (Boss: The Labyrinth) ------------------------------------------------ The attack range of a Doorman is extreme, so be aware! It's only attack is grabbing you a pulling you under its frame this will inflict a lot of damage. When you encounter a Doorman, use the Shotgun. After it's on the ground, make sure to kick it or might get up and have nearly full health. If the Doorman dies before you kick it, you can't kick it. The boss Doorman is much stronger than normal doormen, so don't be afraid of them, but also make sure to don't let them get to close. ------------ Pyramid Head ------------ ------------------------------------ Locations: Throughout the whole game ------------------------------------ This bizarre pyramid-headed creature is James' worst nightmare! It's invincible! James encounters Pyramid Head many times. In a boss situation, beware of Pyramid Head's long-range attack with his Great Knife or Lightweight Spear. When you encounter Pyramid Head, and it's not a boss situation, just run away since Pyramid Head is invincible. ************************* 8. WEAPONS ************************* ============= Melee Weapons ============= These weapons do not require ammunition. Instead, you have to hit the enemy with your melee weapon. If you ever run out of ammunition, or if your ammunition is scarce, equip and use a melee weapon. ------------ Wooden Plank ------------ The Wooden Plank is the first weapon James acquires. This is a two-by- four length of wood with nails at one end. The Wooden Plank is only good at extremely close range, but it inflicts a moderate amount of damage, so be careful when attacking enemies, and don't worry too much about their health. When you find an enemy that you want to defeat with the Wooden Plank, hold the Right Trigger to ready your weapon, walk up to the enemy, and press or hold the A button to whack the enemy. You can also attack when running. Hold forward and the Black Button button (with switched walk/ run control you only have to hold forward), hold the Right Trigger, run up to the demon, and press or hold A. Always try to attack from behind with the plank, because of the extremely close range. You can find the Wooden Plank at the construction site at the north end of Vachss Road ---------- Steel Pipe ---------- A long shaft of bonded steel, which has a greater range than the Wooden Plank. To use it, hold the Right Trigger, walk up to an enemy, and press or hold A. If you want to swing the Steel Pipe from side to side, press or hold A before you reach the enemy. If you want to crouch and stab the enemy's midsection, press or hold A when your are close to an enemy. If you want to swing the Pipe in an overhead bashing fashion, press and hold the Right Trigger and A, tightly at the same time. James can find the Steel Pipe at the Texxon Gas Station at the northeast corner of Nathan Avenue and Carroll Street stuck in the hood of the car. ----------- Great Knife ----------- Before James acquires the Great Knife, the demon that James refers to "Pyramid Head" wields this enormous knife. The Great Knife is an incredibly large and heavy blade with a razor-sharp edge. The Great Knife will indeed kill almost anything in one hit, but it is very awkward to handle and use. James can only drag the Knife across the floor, and slows him down a lot, since it is very heavy. To use the Great Knife, walk up to an enemy holding the Right Trigger, press or hold A, and James will lift the weapon of the weapon of the ground and swing it in a clumsy arc at the face height. Enemies have a lot of time to deflect your attack, so be careful. James can find the Great Knife in the center room of Pyramid Head's Lair. -------- Chainsaw -------- Only in a replay game, James can acquire the Chainsaw. It is a little hefty and awkward to use. Walk up to an enemy holding the Right Trigger, to start it up, and press or hold A to saw back and fourth at head level. Try to attack from behind. If you decide to attack from the front, it is wise to use the Hyper Spray first. In a replay game, James can find the Chainsaw stuck in the pile of logs across from Silent Hill Ranch. Trust me, you'll know where it is. ----------- Hyper Spray ----------- James can only find this can of aerosol spray in a replay game. The Hyper Spray will immobilize one or multiple enemies for only a brief amount of time. However, the noxious fumes are also dangerous to James. It will drain his health if you use the Hyper Spray too much. To use the Hyper Spray as a weapon, hold the Right Trigger, walk near an enemy, press or hold A, and the enemy should be immobilized briefly. Now take out any other weapon and use it to defeat the enemy. James can on find the Hyper Spray in a replay game, in the Motorhome on the south side of the intersection of Saul Street and Harris. ======== Firearms ======== Each gun comes loaded with one clip. You will have to collect ammunition that is lying around, to keep using the gun. Each gun is different in speed and power. ------- Handgun ------- An automatic pistol that holds 10 shots in each clip. Handgun Bullet pick- ups normally contain 10 bullets. To use the Handgun, hold the Right Trigger to target an enemy near you, and press A to fire a shot. To fire multiple shots, press A around every half a second, or hold A until the enemy falls down. James finds the Handgun in the red shopping cart in the center of Room 301 3F, Wood Side Apartments. ------- Shotgun ------- The Shotgun holds 6 shells. Shotgun Shells pick-ups normally contain 6 bullets. To use the Shotgun, walk close to an enemy so you can use the Shotgun's wide blast radius, hold the Right Trigger, and press or hold A. You should mostly use the Shotgun for boss battles, but you can also use it on normal enemies if you have plenty enough ammunition. James can find the Shotgun in a locker in the Women's Locker Room 2F, Brookhaven Hospital. ------------- Hunting Rifle ------------- The Hunting Rifle has extremely precise aiming with an extremely long range. Rifle Shells pick-ups normally contain 4 bullets. To use the Hunting Rifle, hold the Right Trigger to target an enemy from a long range distance, and press or hold A. You should only use the Hunting Rifle for the last two battles of the game. If you don't, it may be very hard to beat the game. Only if you know how much ammo you need for the battles, and if you have plenty enough ammunition for the Hunting Rifle, you can use it, but keep track of your ammunition and beware of its very slow firing rate. ************************* 9. CONTROLS ************************* Control Function D-Pad/Left Thumbstick Movement (2D or 3D style), move in Menu/ Screen cursor Right Thumbstick Press to use health item START Pause game BACK Open Menu, accept, skip scene A Accept, search, attack, stomp or kick Black Button Run, guard White Button Cancel, exit Menu/Puzzle, toggle Flashlight ON/OFF Y Quick Map B Sidestep right X Sidestep left Right Trigger Ready weapon Left Trigger + Right Thumbstick Look in all forward directions Left Trigger Position camera behind James X + B Turn 180 degrees Start + Back (3 sec) Soft Reset (in game) ================= 3D and 2D Control ================= The default setting is 3D Control but you may change it in the Options Menu if you wish. In 3D Control, in order to move, you will need to make the front of James facing the direction you want to travel. In 2D Control you can just run whatever way you want to without changing where James is facing. ============== Secret Options ============== To access this menu you need to go to the Options Menu then press either the Left or Right Trigger. In this Secret Options Menu you can change different things including Noise Filter, which makes the game look all fuzzy if it is on, Walk/Run Control which you can make it so you don't have to hold the black button to run or if you have to. Others are Weapon Control, Map Zoom, Blood Color, and View Control. But in order to change the Noise Filter off you need to beat the game at least once. You will also receive the ammo multiplying option once you beat the game once so you can use normal, x2 or x3 the ammo! ========================== Switching Walk/Run Control ========================== In Silent Hill 2, you will be running for the majority of the game. It is mostly pointless to not run in some cases, even in very small areas. So go in the Secret Options menu and switch the Walk/Run Control so you don't have to hold the Black Button the whole time. This is a lot better for the whole game and esprecialy the streets and larger areas. And On the normal Xbox Controller, you have to move one of your fingers all the way to the Black Button to run with the normal Walk/Run Control. This can be hectic an annoying so it makes the game a lot better if you switch the control. ************************* 10. WALKTHROUGH ************************* ------------------ | Legend | | ======== | | New Area | | ======== | | ------ | | Puzzle | | ------ | | +++++++++++++++ | | Optional Puzzle | | +++++++++++++++ | | =--= | | Boss | | =--= | ------------------ ========================= East South Vale ========================= When you start, a video will play. After it's over, exit the washroom. Then another video will play. After it's over, run over to the driver's side of James' blue car and take the Map of Silent Hill. Then run west, until you see some stoned stairs, and run down them. Now keep on following the path until you reach a steel gate. Open it, to enter the graveyard. Walk forward until it shows a video. Now, James meets Angela. From now and on use your map to know where you go. After the video is over, exit through the west gates, and keep on following the path, and it will eventually turn into Wiltse Road. When you reach Sanders Street, run to Lindsey Street, and head North, until you reach Vachss Road. Run until you reach a Construction Site, and enter it. A video will play, and James finds a Radio inside. Then he sees a Patient Demon, and he takes a Wooden Plank from the barricade structure. From now and on, use the Wooden Plank, until further notice, for saving ammo. Now, hold R2 and walk up to the demon, and whack it, with the X button, until it falls down, and James will confirm that the demon is killed. Exit the Construction Site, and run to Martin Street and head North, until you see a corpse. Go up to the corpse, and take the Apartment Gate Key.

Building on the bulletin board, and then run up to 2F, and run to Room 205. After you enter, you will see a Flashlight on a fashion dummy. Get it, and a Mannequin will get up, but you don't have to kill it, so exit, and go up to 3F. Now try to get the key through the bars, and James will try to grab it, but then a young little girl comes, kicks the key away, and steps on James' hand. Now run to Room 301. After you enter, walk up to the shopping cart in the middle of the room, and take the Handgun, exit the room, and run back down to 2F. Now head East, until you hear a scream. Then head North, and you will see a demon glowing red! What is going on here! Enter Room 208, and there is someone murdered sitting in a chair. Then go to the shelf and take the Key to Room 202. Now, exit the room, and run to Room 202 and use the key. Inside Room 202, enter the bedroom, and go up to the hole in the wall, with green liquid coming out of it. Examine the hole, to get the Clock Key. Exit the room, and run to Room 208 again, and go up to the clock, and use the Clock Key on the clock face. ------------------------- Clock Puzzle ------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Now, turn the clock hands, to 9:10, and you should hear a clank. No matter what Riddle Mode you are playing, the answer to this puzzle is always 9:10. But the hands will start on different times every time. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Now, go to the right side of the clock, and push the clock, and a hole in the wall is revealed. Go through the hole, and you are now in Room 209. Exit the room, and enter the blue door, which is the North stairwell. Go up to 3F, and go inside Room 307, and a video will play of a Pyramid Head and 2 mannequins. After the video is over, get the Courtyard Key in the closet where James was hiding. Exit the Room, and head South to the end of the hall and head West and get the Fire Escape Key the little girl kicked. Now head East down the hall until you reach the end. Enter the Stairway door, on the right side of the hall. Go down to the very bottom, and head North on 1F through the opened hallway, to the end, and take the Canned Juice, in front of Room 107. Go back, and exit through the double doors and run West, and enter the other double doors. Go up to 2F and go in the laundry room beside the stairway door, where you just came from, and go up to the garbage shoot and use the Canned Juice to knock out the stuck garbage, in the shoot. Now, go back down to 1F and exit the lobby doors, and go to the bottom of the garbage shoot, and take the Coin [Old Man]. There is also a memo in the garbage. Study the memo, because later you will need to know something in it. Go back through the lobby doors and go through the Courtyard Door. Now is a good time to equip the Handgun. Now go to the pool, and run to the edge, and James will fall in. Go up to the baby carriage, and take the Coin [Snake]. Now, use the northwest steps to exit the pool. Now enter the east door of the courtyard, and enter Room 101. You should hear someone vomiting, so enter the washroom, and a video will play. James now meets Eddie. Exit the room, and go back from where you first came from. Go up to 2F, head West to the Fire Escape door, and use the Fire Escape Key, to move on to Blue Creek Apartments. ========================= Blue Creek Apartments ========================= You are now in a bedroom of Room 203 of Blue Creek Apartments. Go to the washroom and examine the toilet, to find a memo in a wallet. Examine the memo, and go to the living room of the apartment room, and go up to the safe. +++++++++++++++++++++++++ Safe Combination Puzzle +++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ + To use the combination, rotate the dial with the D-pad to make it easier, until you reach the first number of the memo. Then turn the dial the direction it says, until you reach the second number, then turn the dial the direction it says, until you reach the third number, and finally, turn the direction it says, until you reach the fourth number, which is the last number. If you did it right the safe should open. If you don't fully understand how this works, I'll show you. Example: 15>>08<<12>>06. Turn the dial any direction until you reach 15, now turn the dial, by pressing right, until you reach 8, then turn the dial, by pressing left, until you reach 12, and then finally, turn the dial, by pressing right, until you reach 6. Now the safe should open. If you are still stuck, e-mail me, and tell me your numbers. Make the topic: SH2 Safe Combination. On Hard Riddle Mode, you will have some roman numerals, which you have to convert, and/or add. X is 10, V is 5, VV is 10, XX is 20, XV is 15, and X2 is 12, V5 is 10, and so on. Example: XV>>08<<X2>>06. Turn the dial any direction until you reach 15, now turn the dial, by pressing right, until you reach 8, then turn the dial, by pressing left, until you reach 12, and then finally, turn the dial , by pressing right, until you reach 6. The only reason to solve this puzzle is because there are 4 boxes of Handgun Bullets inside the safe. But you don't have to solve this puzzle, but it is easy, so you can solve it easily. On Extra Hard Riddle Mode there will be letters like a, j and more. a would be 1 and j would be 10. It is the number of what it is in the alphabet. Below is what the letter would be as a number. Once you have all the numbers you can solve the puzzle with the above. a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ + After you finish the safe combination, you will find 4 boxes of Handgun Bullets inside the safe. Exit the room, and go through the stairway door, and beside the 2F door, in the stairway is the Map of the West Apt. Building, take it. Go down to 1F, and go inside Room 109. If it won't open then you need to see Eddie in Room 101 1F in the north building of Wood Side Apartments. When you're inside go through the white door, and a video will play. James meets Angela again, and she gives James, her knife. If you ever examine the knife during the game, you are more likely to get a certain ending. If you do not examine the knife, then you are not more likely to get that certain ending. Read the Ending Requirements section of this FAQ to figure out which ending you want to get. After the video is over, take the Coin [Prisoner] on the nightstand, and exit the room. Enter Room 105 and examine the secretarial puzzle desk. ------------------------- Old Coin Puzzle ------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- The solution to this puzzle is different based on which Riddle difficulty you chose.

Inside, walk outside to the balcony and run over to Room 208, and get the Apartment Stairway Key on the bed, exit the room, and use the Apartment Stairway Key on the stairway door, and you will see Pyramid Head inside. =====-----=====-----===== BOSS 1: Pyramid Head =====-----=====-----===== =-=-=-=--=-=-=-= Difficulty: Easy =-=-=-=--=-=-=-= =====-----=====-----=====-----====----=====-----=====-----=====-----===== This is pretty easy. You actually don't even have to fire a single shot. All you have to do is run to the other side of the room when Pyramid Head gets near you. But he may swipe you with his Great Knife you don't do it at the right time. So wait in the corner at the beginning until he gets near you, and let him stop to raise his Great Knife - This is the time to run to the other side of the room. He will nail his Great Knife right into the ground where you were and it would definitely kill you if you were still there. But, you're not so go in the other corner of the room and wait there until Pyramid Head gets close to you. Again, wait for him to stop and lift his Great Knife and then leg it to the other corner; where you were before. Just keep repeating this strategy for awhile and the will be over. An alarm will sound of and Pyramid Head will turn around and head down the stairs. Doing this strategy will save you a lot of precious bullets so you should always do this. Remember, the fight is timed, so bullets won't do anything, and Pyramid Head is invincible. On Hard Action Mode, the fight will actually be around 5 minutes! So just try to hang in there. But if you don't feel safe doing this, there is a strategy with using the Handgun below, but the above strategy WILL work. Immediately raise the Handgun and start firing. To make it more safe, count off the shots in your head, and then reload in the menu. Pyramid Head wields a mighty blade so heavy that he has to drag it behind him. So, that means he will walk pretty slow. Pyramid Head only has two attacks. One is lifting up his Great Knife to slay James; the other, he grab you by your neck and try to strangle you. If you see him stop, that means he lifting up his Great Knife, so that he can take a swing at you, so run to the other side and shoot from there until he gets to the edge of the screen, and then run to the other side and shoot from there. After you've fired about 35 shots in Normal Mode (50 in Hard Mode) a siren will go off in the distance, and Pyramid Head will head to the stairs. When he's heading to the stairs, don't go near him, or he'll turn around, and very quickly slay James. So, let Pyramid Head go down the stairs, and the water will drain. Go down the stairs, and exit to West South Vale. =====-----=====-----=====-----====----=====-----=====-----=====-----===== ========================= West South Vale ========================= After you exit the Apartments, head North, and a video will play. James sees the little girl again, and she seems to know something about Mary. After the video is over, continue going North, and James will finally reach Rosewater Park. Keep on heading North, to the waterfront, and head West, and a video will play. James meets a strange woman, named Maria, whom looks just like Mary. Maria will follow James for the next portion of the game. Make sure Maria doesn't get killed, because it will be GAME OVER. Even if you shoot Maria once, she will die, so be careful. Now, head West to the other side of the park, and then head South, until you get to Nathan Avenue. Head West to The Texxon Gas Station, and take the Steel Pipe from the running car. Now, head West once again, and enter the front entrance of Pete's Bowl-A-Rama. After you're inside, enter the door on the left, and a video will play, after it's over, find the next door, and enter it. Go forward and another video will play. James meets Eddie again, and he tells James that the little girl's name is Laura. Later, James sees Laura exit the bowling alley. After the video is over, exit through the same door as Laura, and then exit through the main doors. Maria is running back to tell James to go after Laura. Run through the side parking lot to the gate in back of Pete's. Head South until Maria shows you where Laura went, and the door to get to the other side. Try to open the door, that Maria pointed out. It's lock and Maria will unlock it with her 3 keys, then try again, and it's open. Once you're inside, go up the stairs and open the door on the right, and go out the next exit, that leads outside. Once you're outside, go down the stairs, and head East until you reach Carroll Street. Now, head South until you see Laura enter the hospital. Now, follow Laura and enter Brookhaven Hospital. ========================= Brookhaven Hospital ========================= After you enter Brookhaven Hospital, get the Map of the Hospital on the bulletin board on the right side. Now, go to the Reception Office. Once, you're inside go through the next door to enter the Document Room, and take the Purple Bull Key on the desk, and exit both rooms. After you do that, enter the south stairwell and go up to 2F. First, you can get the Examination Room Key in the Lab Coat in the Men's Locker Room, but you do not need it. Now, enter the Women's Locker Room and examine the teddy bear on the table to get the Bent Needle. Now, go to the open locker and take the Shotgun, and exit the room. Enter the patients wing and enter Examination Room 3. When you're inside, go to the typewriter and examine it to get a memo that contains a 4-digit code. Exit the room, and go to M2, and get the Lapis Eye Key in the small nightstand. Exit the room and go up to 3F. On 3F, try to open the patients wing hall, and a number keypad will show up. On Easy and Normal Riddle Mode, enter the code 7335. On Hard Riddle Mode, enter the code 1328. Now, enter the patients wing hall. If you want to get rid of Maria, enter S3 and she will lay down on a bed and relax. After this happens, she can't join you anymore, so take the Roof Key in the nightstand and exit the room. Depending on how much time you spend with Maria, and if you check on her often, in S3, you will have a better chance of getting a certain ending. Read the Ending Requirements section of this FAQ to figure out what to do if you want to get a certain ending. Since you just got the Roof Key, go up to the roof. On the roof, look around, until you see a green book on the ground. Either look at it or just stand near it, or on it for a second. This can also make you have a better chance of getting a certain ending. Read the Endings and Ending Requirements section of this FAQ. Now go to the Elevator Control Room and Pyramid Head will knock you off the roof, and you are now in the Special Treatment Room, which was locked before. On Normal and Hard Action Mode, James will have Red Stamina after you fall, so use a First Aid Kit or two. Now, enter the second room from the left and read the blood writing on the wall. Write down or remember the 4-digit code, because you will need to know it very soon. Exit the room and go through the door that was lock, and now it's unlocked. Enter the patients wing and enter S14, and examine the weird looking box. ------------------------- "Louise" Puzzle ------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- First, combine the Purple Bull Key and the Lapis Eye Key. Now, on the push-button lock, enter the 4-digit code that you found on the Carbon Paper, in the typewriter in Examination Room 3. If you forgot the code, go to your Memo section in the main menu and see what it was. Now, on the turn combination lock, enter the code you got from the Special Treatment Room, and the box should open. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Inside the box is a Piece of Hair. Now go to the Shower Room, and combine the Bent Needle, and the Piece of Hair, to get the Elevator Key out of the drain. Now, use the Elevator Key on the North elevator, and go down to 1F. On 1F, Enter C4, and walk forward to see Laura. That little brat, locked James inside Examination Room 2. James sees two new enemies that are called Hangers. Now, you have to kill the Hangers. =====-----=====-----===== BOSS 2: Hangers =====-----=====-----===== =-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-= Difficulty: Normal =-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-= =====-----=====-----=====-----=====---=====-----=====-----=====-----===== At the start, make sure you have your Shotgun equipped, keep on shooting the Hangers, until the get close to you. When they get close, run to the other side, or they will grab you. The best thing to do is to lure both Hangers to one side of the room, and then run to the other side and pump rounds into them. The Hangers only have one attack. That is coming up to James and grabbing and lifting him by his neck. Again, make sure the Hangers don't get too close or they grab James and pick him up. If this happens, rapidly press the D-pad and the shoulder buttons to get out more quickly, and lose less health. If your running low on Shotgun Shells after you kill the first two Hangers, equip the Handgun, and shoot around 15-20 shots at the Hanger, and it should die. =====-----=====-----=====-----=====---=====-----=====-----=====-----===== ========================= "Nightmare" Hospital ========================= After the video plays and it's over, you are in the Garden. Go through the door right in front of you to enter the Hospital again. Once inside, go through the door on the left side. Now, go up to 2F in the elevator. On 2F, go to M6, and take the Dry Cell Battery and the Basement Storeroom Key, on a small ledge, above the hands, and exit the room. Now, go up to 3F exit the patients wing, and enter the South stairwell. Now, go down the stairs, until you reach the very bottom, and enter the door. After you're inside, go up to the shelf and push it. After that, try to go down the ladder and Maria opens the door, and a video plays. After it's over, Maria will now stay with you and follow you for awhile. Go down the ladder to the Basement's Basement. Take the Copper Ring in the middle of the floor, and go back up the ladder, and exit the door. Now, go back up to 3F, and enter the patients wing, and enter the elevator, and go down to 2F. Before the elevator doors open, a strange message from a game show. Three questions are asked. After the elevator doors open, and you are on 2F, head to the Day Room, and try to open the fallen fridge, and then Maria will help you open it. Inside is a Lead Ring. Now go back up to 3F. If you want to collect your prize for the Trick or Treat announcement in the elevator, exit the patients wing and enter the Storeroom. Inside, go up to the blue box on the counter, and examine it. +++++++++++++++++++++++++ Trick or Treat Box +++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ On the box is a panel with nine buttons and looks like this: 1 2 3 Q1 o o o Q2 o o o Q3 o o o In order to get your prize you have to answer the questions correctly. No matter Riddle Difficulty, on the top row press the 3 button, on the middle row press the 1 button, and on the bottom row press the 3 button, and the box will open. Inside the box is Shotgun Shells x5 and 2 Ampoules! Just incase you forget the questions and want the answers to the questions here they are: 1. The Amusment Park in Silent Hill is called Lake Side Amusment Park. 2. Walter Sullivan killed the innocent kids. 3. Nathan Avenue is the only road you can take to get to Pale Ville. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ After you have opened the box and collected the Shotgun Shells x5 and 2 Ampoules, exit the room, and enter the patients wing for the last time. Go up to the North stairwell door. There are two 3D arms sticking out of the door. Go to the menu and combine use the Copper Ring and the Lead Ring, and the door is now unlocked. Go through the door, and go down to the very bottom of the stairs and enter the door. Now go follow the path, and you will see Pyramid Head. He's trying to spear Maria to death, so run quickly following the path before she dies. On Hard Action Mode, you will have to shoot Pyramid Head or whack him with any weapon to slow him down. My weapon of choice for this part is the Steel Pipe. When he first appears, whack him once, and walk backwards a couple steps, until Pyramid Head come closer, and whack him again. Walk backwards a couple more steps, until Pyramid Head comes closer, and whack him again. Keep on doing this until you get around the fenced window area, and then run for it, and once you get near the elevator, a video will play, and James will enter the elevator, but Maria will not make it, and Pyramid Head stabs her and kills her. Then the elevator goes up to 1F, and the video is over. Now, enter the Director's Room. Inside on the desk, James finds a map and the Hospital Lobby Key. Exit the room, and use the Hospital Lobby Key on the main entrance door to exit the hospital. ========================= Dark South Vale ========================= After you exit the Hospital, head South down Carroll Street, and then East on Rendell Street. Now, head South on Munson Street, and East on Saul Street and open the gate door. Now, run over the gate floor, dodging the Underhangers, and watch out for the gaps in the floor. At the end, enter the gate door. Now, continue heading East on Saul Street, North on Neely Street, until you reach Sanders Street. Now, head East on Sanders Street, and North on Lindsey Street to the second house to the right of Gonzale's Mexican Restaurant. On the porch you will find a letter and a Wrench. Take the Wrench and continue heading North on Lindsey Street to Katz Street, and head West on Katz Street, and go through the gate door, past the Apartments, and continue heading West, until you reach Munson Street. Now, head North on Munson Street, and West on Nathan Avenue, until you reach the entrance of Rosewater Park. Now, head North until you see some steps on the right. Go down them, and go down the stairs ahead of you to the left and walk forward, and go behind the "praying woman" statue, and dig up the tin box. Now, use you Wrench to open the tin box, and take the Old Bronze Key inside. Now, go back up the sets of stairs you came down before, and exit Rosewater Park. Now, head West on Nathan Avenue, to the Silent Hill Historical Society Museum, and use your Old Bronze Key, and enter the museum. Once inside, head forward, and enter the door on the left. Now go through the hole in the wall, and go down the very long walkway, and you will finally reach a door, enter it to enter the Unmapped Area. ========================= The Unmapped Area ========================= Now, enter the door right ahead of you. Now, enter the door near the demon. When you enter, you will see a hole in front of you. Jump down it. Now, you are trapped in well. Search every inch of brickwork, until you find an area that feels like James can break it. Take out your Wooden Plank or Steel Pipe, and whack the area until it breaks apart, and a door will be revealed, enter it. Now you are in a sewer. Follow the path, until you a door, and enter it. Now enter the door on the right, and take the Spiral Writing Key on the ground, and your Flashlight will turn off. Now, use your Drycell Battery. The room is filled with bugs! Go examine the panel beside the door, since the door is locked. ------------------------- Roach Trap ------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Either 2 or 3 random numbers will be highlighted on the panel. The code to get out is with those numbers. Try different combinations with those numbers, until the door is unlocked. If you're numbers are 3, 6, 8, try 368, 386, 638, 683, 836, and 863, and the door will unlock, with one of those combinations. If your numbers are 6 and 9 then try 669, 699, 669, 996, 966, 969 and the door will unlock. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- After you have unlocked the door, exit the room, and go forward to the gate floor, and use your Spiral Writing Key, and the gate will open. Jump down to enter Toluca Prison. ========================= Toluca Prison ========================= When you start, a video with Eddie will play. He murdered someone again. After he exits, take the Tablet of "Gluttonous Pig" on the table at the back of the room. Now exit the room. Since there is no actual compass directions in Toluca Prison, I will refer to your map. North is up, East is right, South is down, and West is left. Now, Head North up the hall, until you reach a desk with the Map of the Prison on it, and take it. Now, head South down the hall, and enter the first door on the right, according to your map. You are now in the Shower Room. In the Shower Room, head North, until you reach a wall, and head East, and go through the "no doored" shower, and take the Tablet of "The Seductress," and exit the Shower Room. Now, head South down the hall, and enter the bottom row of cells. Enter the 9th cell from the left, and take the Wax Doll on the bed, and exit the cell. Now, enter the east corridor, and head North, and enter the top row of cells. Now, enter the 7th cell, and take the Tablet of "The Oppressor on the bed. Try to exit the cell, and it won't open! Keep trying, and James will force it to open. Now, since you have all of the 3 tablets, exit to the east corridor, and exit through the Double doors on the right side of the wall, to enter the Courtyard. Once outside, walk directly forward until you reach a scaffold. In the menu, combine the 3 tablets, and use them, and after they're all inserted, you should hear a scream/cry. Now head back to the double doors, and take the Horseshoe, that suddenly appeared, and enter the door. Once inside, enter the top row of cells, and enter the door that leads to the east corridor. Now, enter the last door on the left side, and exit the door on the other side of the demolished visiting room, to enter the civilian side of the Prison. On the civilian side, enter the door on down on the right side of the door you just came out of. Inside this visiting room, take the lighter on the counter, in front of the glass, and exit the room. Now, enter the last door on the right side, before the gate, and enter the next room inside. Now, take the Hunting Rifle on the wall. You can see another Hunting Rifle above, but it's barrel is busted. Exit the room, and enter the west corridor through the other door in the same room. Now, go through the gate. On the floor, you can see a white escape hatch on the ground, go on top of it. Since James can't open it, go in the menu, and combine The Wax Doll, Horseshoe, and the Lighter, and use them. Now, James opens the hatch. Jump down the hole. Now, head North and enter the door. Inside James makes funny comments, if you examine some of the dead prisoners in the foul corridor. Go through, the door on the other side of the room, and jump down the hole. After you jump down, walk forward, and open the door. Now jump down the hole. Down the hole, enter the large elevator, and go in the corner and it should descend. It may seem like a very long time, but it comes to the end. Do you realize how far down James is right now? He walked down 1 very long hallway, that descended, jumped down 5 holes, and just went down 1 really long elevator ride, that descended very deep. How is James going to get out alive? Lets find out later. Enter the light brown door to enter the Labyrinth. ========================= The Labyrinth ========================= As you can see, the door directly across from the entrance to the Labyrinth is blocked by wires, and there is a ladder visible. So you will need to find a tool to cut the wires. In the Labyrinth, I will tell you where to go by using compass directions. North is the top of your map, South is the bottom, and so on. Use your map to figure out where to go from now on, but make sure your flashlight is on so James can draw the map. Once you've explored the whole room you have found 3 ladders you can go down. If you want to get a new weapon go down the Northeast ladder or the one directly across from it (They both lead to the same room). Now you are in the same room as Pyramid Head so be careful. Once you have have the whole area mapped out you should find a room in the center. Enter the room on the East side. If you encounter Pyramid Head on the way to the room, just turn around and head the other direction until you reach the room and enter it. Inside you will find the Great Knife that Pyramid Head was carrying to start with, on a table, take it and leave the room. Go back up one of the ladders and go down the ladder in the Southeast corner. In this area, just follow the path and go up the ladder. In this room you will find a weird box of faces and an empty room, so examine the box of faces. ------------------------- The Box of Faces Puzzle ------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This puzzle is very easy in Easy and Normal Riddle Difficulties. Keep in mind that some faces are upside-down and some are right-side-up. Rotate the box upward or downward until the right-side-up face with the red eyes is displayed. Now, if you look behind James, the entrance to the empty room has completely vanished! Now, with the red eyes right-side-up face displayed, rotate the box left or right so that one of the 3 upside-down faces is showing. Now, as you can see, there is a staircase in the empty room now, so you are done with the box of faces. On Hard and Extra Action Mode the solution is randomly selected each time so just keep trying it on different faces until it is correct. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Go down the staircase and James will meet Maria. But James in in the other side of a Jail Cell and Maria is on the other side. Now, your job is to find the other side of the jail cell. After the video, go up staircase again and you should hear some spark-like sounds. Go up to the open breaker box beside the ladder and take the Wire Cutters that are stabbed into a wire. Go down the ladder and follow the path and go up the ladder at the other end. Now go to the door with wires blocking the entrance in the Southwest corner and use the Wire Cutter. Now go down the ladder in front of you. Go follow the hallway and go up the South ladder. Follow the hallway, on the right and go up the Southwest ladder. Go clockwise or counter-clockwise until you find an opening to another ladder (the ladder is near the middle) and go up it. Go up the South/ Southeast ladder. Follow the path, until you find an opening to a ladder and go up it. Pyramid Head is certain to block you way to the exit ladder, so lure him to an open area and then go up the East ladder by the East opening. Be sure to save your game here because there will be a boss fight really soon! Look at the paper on the ground if you want, but you can barely read it anyway. When your done with the partly-legible newspaper, enter the door. Equip the Shotgun and Follow the path, on the way you may notice many papers on the ground. Some are from today's date according to James. Continue walking the path and you should hear Angela scream and James will enter the door and will have to fight a Doorman Boss. =====-----=====-----===== Boss 3: Doorman =====-----=====-----===== =-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-= Difficulty: Normal =-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-= =====-----=====-----=====-----=====---=====-----=====-----=====-----===== If you find the 3D Control hard to use in this fight, just go in the menu and change it to 2D Control. Right when the fight starts, start blasting Shotgun rounds into the Doorman as fast as you can. If the Doorman is close to you and it falls on the ground, use that time to run to the other side of the room and reload. The Doorman has one attack of lumbering over and lifting its doorframe over James's head like a hood. The range of this attack may surprise you so stay as far away from the Doorman as possible at all times. You will have to fire around 8-10 Shotgun shots on Normal. Then Angela will finish off the job and run out of the room. =====-----=====-----=====-----=====---=====-----=====-----=====-----===== After the fight, exit the room and continue following the path and go through the next door. There is a pair of handcuffs attached to the exiting lifting-gate (bars), so you can not go there yet, so investigate the 2 doors in the same corridor. After investigating the 2 rooms you will find a room with 6 hanged men and a room with 6 empty nooses. ------------------------- Free the Innocent Man ------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- The first thing you want to do is examine the 2 signs on the fence in the room with the 6 Hanged Men in it. They should give you a clue of what you have to do. All of the Hanged Men are positioned in a randomly chosen fashion. But on each Riddle Mode it is a certain one. Here are the solutions to this puzzle on all Riddle Modes: Easy Riddle Mode: The Kidnapper is the innocent man. I basically tells you. Normal Riddle Mode: The Arsonist is the innocent man. There was no proof that he did it. Hard Riddle Mode: The Counterfeiter is the innocent man. He's the one speaking about the crimes of all the truly guilty men. Extra Hard Riddle Mode: The Thief is the innocent man. The man speaking never mentions him. Once you determine the Innocent Man in this room (where he is located), head to the room with the 6 empty nooses inside. Once inside, find the noose that is in the same spot of the Innocent Man in the other room. Once it's found, Press A to pull it down. Now, exit this room and head back to the other room. If done correctly, you should notice that the Innocent Man is gone, and there is something where he was. Go over to where his location was and pick up the Key of the Persecuted. If you don't do this puzzle correctly each time there will be 2 Patient Demons in the corridor each time, so make sure you do the puzzle correctly. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now follow the hallway to the handcuffed gate and use the Key of the Persecuted. Now, go down the ladder follow the path and enter the white door since the gate is locked. Inside, a video will play. Maria has died again! Could she be real? After the video, you will be outside. Now the gate is open, so proceed through the last corridor of the Labyrinth that leads outside. Outside is a graveyard. If you examine the graves you will find these names: Walter Sullivan, Eddie Dombrowski, Angela Orosco, and himself, James Sunderland. Now, James must jump down his own grave. Once in his grave, it seems to be a long path, so follow it until it comes to and end with a door, enter it. =====-----=====-----===== BOSS 4: Eddie =====-----=====-----===== =-=-=-=--=-=-=-= Difficulty: Hard =-=-=-=--=-=-=-= =====-----=====-----=====-----=====---=====-----=====-----=====-----===== As soon as the video is over you should know what you have to do. Eddie has gone mad and now you have to kill him before he kills you. In this first room there is no strategy. So just pull out either the Shotgun, Hunting Rifle or the Great Knife. The best choice would be Great Knife. It is the most powerful weapon in the game and you will only need to swipe Eddie 1-2 times, depending on your Action Mode. But don't worry too much about being hit because Eddie walk move away from James when you approach him so go up to him with the Great Knife and swipe him and it should him him because of it's length. If not just try again until you can hear him panting and he will run into the next room. With the Shotgun and Hunting Rifle just start blasting away at him until he runs into the next room. But you should try going right up to him with the Shotgun and give him a few blasts. The Hunting Rifle should only be used if you decide to stay away from Eddie and fire at him and recover your health safely and be sure to use some Health Drinks for minor wounds, First Aid Kits for large wounds and the Ampoule for a painkiller by pressing R3. After you shoot Eddie a number of times he will end the draw and run into the next room. After he leaves be sure to get the Rifle Shells and Shotgun Shells. Reload, make sure you have good health, then enter the second room. In this room, there are giant racks of meat hanging from the roof so you can use them to block Eddie's shots. Eddie has 2 attacks. Either raising his .44 Magnum Revolver and shooting James or he will run up to James and punch him. In this room, it is best to use your Shotgun first because you should have plenty of ammo for it and not as much for the Hunting Rifle. Try to get close to Eddie so he only gets to punch you and inflict less damage and blast him with the Shotgun, but remember to keep your health good. When he runs after you just use the strafing buttons and directional buttons to get away and hide behind a meat rack and then come out and do it again. When he starts hiding behind the meat racks equip the Handgun because it is faster and better overall for this part. Find him behind the rack that he's behind and let him run, but since the Handgun is easy to ready your aim, aim at Eddie and take off some shots and repeat this process. Finally he dies in a brief video. If you want to there is a different strategy here. After the video, when Eddie approaches you, shoot him once, then run away so he can't get you back. It is best to try to attack Eddie at close range because he will run up to you and try to punch you, which is much better than being shot by his gun, which is much more powerful. James' health can still go red after 4 or 5 punches so be careful and be sure use use health often after contact from Eddie. Try to sneak up Eddie from behind. To do this simply hide behind the meat racks so Eddie can't see you. When he runs somewhere, run out and shoot him. After about 8-10 Shotgun blast Eddie should fall to the ground. He is dead now. So continue by exiting one of the 2 large doors where you haven't been yet. =====-----=====-----=====-----=====---=====-----=====-----=====-----===== ========================= Toluca Lake ========================= As soon as you exit through one of the doors, continue along the dock until you see a boat when the video plays. Now you have to row the boat across Toluca Lake. If you are playing Beginner, Easy or Normal Action Mode, it will be much more easier to control the boat. Press the D-Pad buttons to go the direction you want to. Hold Up to go forward, left to go left, and right to go right. But if you are playing Hard Action Mode this could be hard for you. You will have to use both Thumbsticks. By rotating both Thumbsticks in a clockwise fashion at the same time you will turn to the right. If you turn both Thumbsticks in a counter-clockwise fashion at the same time you will turn to the left. To move forward simultaneously turn the left Thumbstick counter-clockwise and the right Thumbstick clockwise. Try to do this very fast because the time you take to complete this will count in the final ranking at the end of the game. So at the beginning turn your boat until you face the light. Now row forward until you reach the dock to your "Special Place," which is the Lake View Hotel. ========================= Lake View Hotel ========================= Finally! You have reached your "Special Place." The Lake View Hotel. After the Boat Stage, equip your Shotgun until near the end of the game if you haven't already. Now, run forward to the courtyard of the Hotel. On the left fountain you will find the "Little Mermaid" Music Box. Look around for the main entrance to the Lake View Hotel and enter through the door. You will need to find a map. Look to your left and on the wall is the Map of the Hotel (for guests). When you look at the map you should notice that in box of Room 312 it says "Waiting for You..." Could Mary really be here? Next, enter the "Lake Shore" Restaurant and go to the piano. As you see in the video, Laura is here. She scared James by playing the piano but James denies it. This video is pretty important. It tells you many things, including Mary saying "Happy 8th Birthday to Laura." Laura says she turned 8 last week. So Mary is alive! Laura gives you the letter and claims she lost another one and runs out to find it. Go over to the area with the table and grab the "Fish" Key on one of the tables. You are done here so go out to the main hallway. There should be 2 Doormen out here and they are coming after you. Shoot them both with the Shotgun until they fall then kick them both. If you need or want Rifle Shells and Handgun Bullets x3 then enter the Store Room. If not, enter the Lobby and grab the Key to Room 312. Also, you can find the letter to James on the desk. It says that his videotape that he left is in the safe in the Office on B1F Then go back to the main hallway an go down to B1F. Once down here, find the elevator and grab the Thinner and go back upstairs. You are done on this floor so go up to 2F. Also, don't count on getting to Room 312 soon. You'll notice that there is a gate blocking the 3F hallway. On 2F, enter the Cloak Room to find the Key to Room 204 in a briefcase. But it is locked. So use the "Fish" Key to open it. Exit the room and if you want ammo and a Health Drink, check out the Reading Room. The Next thing to do is West Wing of rooms. Kill the 2 Doormen and enter Room 204 which is the only room you can enter right now. Inside on a desk you will find the Employee Elevator Key. Continue investigating, and you will find that there is a hole in the wall. So you can enter Room 202. In this room you will find a funny looking briefcase and some pictures on the bed. ------------------------- The Locked Briefcase ------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- As you can see, this briefcase is locked. You need to enter a combination of 4 letters. No, it is not Mary. Now is the time to use your Thinner. Go to the bed and investigate it. James will notice that there is one that is a picture of the case and the combination but it is crossed out in black marker. Go in the menu and use the Thinner. Now the combination will be revealed. Go back to the case and enter the same combination as in the picture and the case will open. Inside is the "Cinderella" Music Box. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now you want to go to the Employee Elevator Room which is across to the east side of 2F since you have the Employee Elevator Key now. Once inside, go over to the elevator and walk in. An alarm will sound. That means that the elevator can't support this much weight. James is not fat. Is is just his items. Check the panel on the elevator to find a note about weight allowance. Just outside of the elevator there is a shelf. Go and investigate it. In order to use the elevator you must empty your whole Inventory. Even if you have a letter James can't use the elevator. After putting all your things in the shelf, go back in the elevator and go down to 1F. You might feel scared discarding your weapons now but you will be just fine. On 1F, just outside of the elevator, grab the Map of the Hotel (for employees) on the corkboard. Now go to the Pantry and grab the hard to see "Snow White" Music Box on the shelf. Now you have all the Music Boxes. Exit the room and enter the Office. If you remember, this is where your videotape should be. Inside grab the Videotape and the Can Opener. For ammo, enter the Employee Lounge for Rifle Shells x2. If you go back to the elevator you can see that it will not move. So you have to find another way back to 2F. For a start, enter the blue door in front of the Office. Inside, go down the stairs and enter the basement through the door at the bottom. In this area. There will be 2 Mannequins that you will have to run past and you have no weapon to use on them. So check your map and enter the Boiler Room to get the Bar Key then exit the room. Check your map again and enter the Kitchen. Inside the Kitchen you should find a large tin. Now is the time to use the Can Opener. After you've opened the can you will find lightbulbs inside. Who keeps lightbulbs in a can? James will take one, then continue on by entering the "Venus Tears" Bar. Inside the bar it is dark and James can't see clearly enough to put the Bar Key through the key hole to unlock it. Behind the door is a lamp on the bar. Use the lightbulb and James will put it in. Now exit through the door. Now you are in a familiar place, the basement for guests. Go up the stairs to 1F, then go up again to 2F. On 2F go to the Employee Elevator Room and reclaim your things from the shelf. Exit the room and enter the Lobby. Go down the stairs and examine the Music Box Player. ------------------------- Music Box Puzzle ------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- On Easy Riddle Mode, just put the 3 Music Boxes in any of the 3 slots. On Normal Riddle Mode, you will have to put them in specific places from the description of each slot. Cinderella fled at midnight, Snow White woke from death, and the Little Mermaid was a mute for time. On Hard Riddle Mode they positions are different. The "Little Mermaid" Music Box goes in the front. The "Snow White" Music Box on the east side, and the "Cinderella" Music Box on the west side. After all 3 Music Boxes are put in correctly, examine it once more and make the music play and the Music Boxes will rotate and the Hotel Stairway Key is on a Music Box. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take the Hotel Stairway Key and then head up to 3F and use the Hotel Stairway Key and open the gate blocking the way. On 3F, use the Key to Room 312 to open it. Inside, walk around until you find a working VCR. Put the videotape in. After awhile of the video, Laura will enter the room. After the video James can hear Mary talking on his Radio. She must be in the Hotel! Exit the room. ========================= "Nightmare" Hotel ========================= If you have the Dog Key, you can enter the Observation Room and end the game. If not, head down to 2F. If you enter the Reading Room on 2F there are headphones on the desk. If you listen to this you are more likely to get a certain ending. It is your choice if you want to listen to it or not. For more information, check out the Ending Requirements section of this FAQ. Now, enter the west corridor and if you enter certain doors you will be warped to a different area. Room 207 and Room 204 warp to each other. Room 202 warps you ever to Room 219. Room 219 warps to Room 220. Room 220 warps you to Room 207. And lastly, Room 212 warps over to Room 202. So just enter Room 202 and it will warp you to Room 219. From here, just go to the elevator and go down to B1F which is the only elevator button that works. After going down to B1F, you can see that this floor is completely flooded. You will have to work around this floor like this. First, enter the "Venus Tears" Bar where you can find 5 Health Drinks with the other drinks on display. They camouflage with there surroundings. Once done here, enter the kitchen. If you need ammo, here is the place. There are Shotgun Shells x2 on the Kitchen counter and there are Rifle Shells x2 in the back on the shelf. Once done here, exit the room and enter the blue door to see a video of Angela. If you have not yet examined the knife it will affect the ending. Fore more information, check out the Ending Requirements section of this FAQ. After the video, you are left with fire in the middle of the stairs. Don't try to go through it, James will just lose health. Exit through the door and re-enter the room. It is different. It is the same as before though. Continue up the stairs and go through the door. You are now on 1F again. Go North until you see a path that goes east, north, and east again. Follow it and enter the door to find a room full of Underhangers under the gate floor. Just run through the hallway, dodging them until you come to a door, enter it. In here you will find 9 Save Points! Nine Red Squares. I think they are trying to tell you to save your game here. After this point, there are the 2 last bosses of the game. Equip the Hunting Rifle and keep it ready for the rest of the game. Enter the door. =====-----=====-----===== BOSS 5: Pyramid Head Duo =====-----=====-----===== =-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-= Difficulty: Normal =-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-= =====-----=====-----=====-----========-----==========-----=====-----===== You've already fought 1 Pyramid Head before, now you are about to fight 2! Right at the beginning run to a corner, preferably the corner farthest away from the 2 Pyramid Heads. From there try to take off 2-5 shots on Easy and Normal Action Mode then strafe out of the way using either L1 or R1 for either direction and run to the next corner or the corner directly across from your current location before either Pyramid Head stabs you. Don't under-estimate their range. It may surprise you. The 2 Pyramid Heads only have one attack that is coming up to James and stabbing him with their Spears. On Hard Action Mode try to take only 1-2 shots because the Pyramid Heads move much faster. It is better to take only 1 shot and get away clean than to take 2 shots and get stabbed. But if you are sure you can make it, take 2 shots then strafe out of the way by using either L1 or R1 appropriately. After about 10-12 shots on Normal Action Mode the Pyramid Heads should stop and go towards the center and stab their spears through themselves and die. On Hard Action Mode you will have to shoot either Pyramid Head more times. Also, it doesn't matter which Pyramid Head you shoot because it's like they share their health. When you defeat the 2 Pyramid Head continue to move on. =====-----=====-----=====-----========-----==========-----=====-----===== ------------------------- Pyramid Head Eggs Puzzle ------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- After you have finally defeated the 2 Pyramid Heads examine their corpses to find the Rust-Colored Egg and the Scarlet Egg in both of the Pyramid Heads' hands. Use them to open the 2 exiting doors by inserting them into either door, but they must be inserted into different doors. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- After you have inserted the 2 eggs go through one of the 2 doors. After you have done so, find the main entrance and try to exit the hotel. You are now in a long hallway. A recording of Mary will start to play. If you stay and listen to the whole thing or run quickly and go through the door at the end of the hallway, it will most likely effect which ending you will receive. So make a decision and go through the door when you're ready. Now you are actually outside, it is raining now. Find your way to the stairs and go up all the way to the top. It will take awhile. When you're at the top a video will play and you now have to fight the Final Boss in the game. =====-----=====-----===== BOSS 6: Maria/Mary Demon =====-----=====-----===== =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Difficulty: Very Hard =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= =====-----=====-----=====-----========-----==========-----=====-----===== This boss is quite similar to the Hangers but is quicker at moving and has more attacks. This last boss has 2 attacks. It will spit out a cloud of black moths that will swarm around James to prevent you from moving. To get out of this attack wiggle the movement controls and the shoulder buttons. The other attack is is very lethal so try not to let it happen to you. It will try to get close to you, hovering above you, and it will snatch James with its long black tail. Beware of the speed of the attack because it may surprise you. To get out of it wiggle the movement controls and shoulder buttons then run away. If the demon is close to you, you should consider strafing in either direction to get away. So in order to beat this final boss, try to stay as far away from the demon as possible and use the Hunting Rifle's accuracy to get the job done. After you shoot the boss several times it should fall on the ground. Go up to the helpless demon on the ground and choose your weapon of choice and finish off the demon... Good Job, you have now beaten the game. =====-----=====-----=====-----========-----==========-----=====-----===== ************************* 11.

Perhaps it's fo______hat many pe_____m to have s____ ______n the area. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Memo Title: Memo next to corpse #1 I'm going to write everything that I've learned so far. Maybe that will help you out some how. If you're reading this, it probably means I'm already dead. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Memo Title: Memo next to corpse #2 I saw those demons. They were there, I'm certain. But my friend says he didn't see anything. If that's true, does that mean that what I saw was an illusion? But whether that demon that ate human beings was real, or whether it was just some kind of hallucination that my mind dreamed up... One thing I know for sure is that I'm beyond all hope. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Memo Title: Memo next to corpse #3 It seems that they're attracted to light. That's why people who need light to see are their natural prey. They also react strongly to sound. If you want to go on living, you'd be better off just sitting in the dark and staying quiet. But even that probably won't save you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Memo Title: Memo next to corpse #4 If you're going to try to fight them, the most important thing is to relax. It's dangerous to fire a gun while you're all crazy with fear. Take good aim, and then squeeze the trigger. And don't forget to finish them off. I think most of those creatures can be killed, even if they are tougher than people. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Memo Title: Memo next to corpse #5 Run away. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Memo Title: Memo next to corpse #6 Run away!

Three young men circlin' round the sun. Henry is short and very, very slow, Scott can't stop, he's always on the go. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Memo Title: Article about murder incident The police announced today that Walter Sullivan, who was arrested on the 18th of this month for the brutal murder of Billy Locane and his sister Miriam, committed suicide in his jail cell early on the morning of the 22nd. According to the police statment, Sullivan ised a soup spoon to stab himself in the neck, severing his carotid artery. By the time the guard discovered him, Sullivan was dead from blood loss, the spoon buried two inches in his neck. An old schoolmate of Walter Sullivan's from his hometown of Pleasant River said "He didn't look like the type of guy who would kill kids. But I do remember that just before they arrested him he was blurting out all sorts of strange stuff like "He's trying to kill me. He's trying to punish me. The monster... the red devil. Forgive me. I did it, but it wasn't me!." The schoolmate then added "I guess now that I think of it, he was kinda crazy." ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Memo Title: Wallet in toilet bowl (different every time) ## >> ## << ## >> ## (# - number) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Memo Title: Dear Tim Dear Tim, I have to run an errand so I'm going out.

They call this place "The Place of the Silenced Spirits." By "Spirits," they meant not only their dead relatives, but also the spirits that they believed inhabited the trees, rocks and water around them. According to legend, this was where the holiest ceremonies took place. But it was not the ancestors of those who now live in this town that first stole the land from these people. There were others who came before. In those days, this town went by another name. But that name is now hopelessly lost in the veils of times. All we know is that there was another name, and that for some reason the town was once abandoned by its residents. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Memo Title: Patient record [Jack Davis] He has attempted suicide three times in the past for reasons unknown. Although he is normally a model patient who follows doctor's and nurse's orders, he must be watched closely due to his past pattern of sudden and violent suicide attempts. [Joseph Barkin] His illness seems to be rooted in the fact that he believes he is guilty of causing his daughter's death. His symptoms suggest a psychotic break and paranoid delusions. Normally calm, but has a tendency towards violence when excited. [Joshua Lewis] History of hospitalization as well as numerous assault, battery and other violent offenses. He has a strong persecution complex and a tendency to solve things through violence. Extreme caution necessary. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Memo Title: Doctor's journal The potential for this illness exists in all people and, under the right circumstances, any man or woman would be driven, like him, to "the other side." The "other side' perhaps may not be the best way to phrase it. After all, there is no wall between here and there. It lies on the borders where reality and unreality intersect. It is a place both close and distant. Some say it isn't even an illness. I cannot agree with them. I'm a doctor, not a philosopher or even a psychiatrist. But sometimes I have to ask myself this question. It's true that to us his imaginings are nothing but the inventions of a busy mind. But to him, there simply is no other reality. Furthermore he is happy there. So why, I ask myself, why in the name of healing him must we drag him painfully into the world of our own reality? (Something else is written by hand.) I got the key from Joseph. It's probably the key to that box. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Memo Title: Numbers written on the whiteboard 3rd floor patient wing hall - 7335 (1328 on Hard Riddle Mode) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Memo Title: Imprint on carbon paper (randomly selected ending) i know it i know the number of the box #### it cant help him anymore the button key doesnt scare me so nobody can stop who i am i don't know who i am is who i am is who i am is (# - number) (Alternate Endings) me i am and no one can stop me one can stop me no one can stop me can stop can stop no no me i am a genius and no one can stop me and no one can stop me one can stop me no one can stop me can stopcan stop no no ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Memo Title: Tern tern tern the numbers Tern tern tern the numbers better not forget them So i'll right them down here #### The other one, my secret name (# - number) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Memo Title: Diary from roof May 9 Rain. Stared out the window all day. Peaceful here - nothing to do. Still not allowed to go outside. May 10 Still raining. Talked with the doctor a little. Would they have saved me if I didn't have a family to feed? I know I'm pathetic, weak. Not everyone can be strong. May 11 Rain again. The meds made me feel sick today. If I'm only better when I'm drugged, then who am i anyway? May 12 Rain as usual. I don't want to cause any more trouble for anyone, but I'm a bother either way. Can it really be a such a sin to run instead of fight? Some people may say so, but they don't have to live in my shoes. It may be selfish, but it's what I want. It's too hard like this.

The truth usually betrays people. A part of that abyss is in the old society. The key to the society is in the park. At the foot of the praying woman, inside of the ground, inside of a box. To open it, I need a wrench. My patient buried it there. I knew, but I did nothing. It made me uneasy to have such a thing near. I wasn't looking for the truth, I was looking for tranquility.

This clear, beautiful lake has another side as well. It may seem like just a typical ghost story that you might find in any number of old towns across the country. But in this case, the legend is true. On a fog-bound Novmber day in 1918, the Little Baroness, a ship filled with tourists, failed to return to port. A newspaper article from back then simply says "It most likely sunk for some reason". Despite an extensive police search, not a single fragment of the ship nor any of the 14 bodies of passengers or crew has ever been recovered to this day. In 1939, an even stranger incident occurred. (There are many pages torn out) Many corpses rest at the bottom of this lake. Their bony hands reach up towards the boats that pass overhead.

STORYLINE ************************* You are Maria. Maria wakes up in the Heaven's Night Bar and everyone's gone. She thinks she are the only one left in the town and she wants to find someone. So she decides to fight and live over letting those monster get her. ************************* 18. CHARACTERS ************************* ----- Maria ----- Maria worked at the Heaven's Night Bar until disaster struck in the town of Silent Hill. She is all alone after she wakes up and she wants to find someone. She Heaven's Night off on a journey to find someone. -------------- Ernest Baldwin -------------- Although you never see Ernest, he is one of the main characters. You always encounter him behind doors and Maria has talks with him. He is the owner of the Baldwin Mansion. He had a daughter but she died at the age of 7 due to reason that only Ernest knows about. ************************* 19. ENEMIES ************************* -------------- Patient Demons -------------- ------------------------------------ Locations: Throughout the whole game ------------------------------------ This is the first demon Maria encounters. Patient Demons have 2 attacks in different stances. When the demon is standing up, it will attack by spitting a yellow acid-like spray at Maria, which stuns her. When the demon face down on the ground, the attack will be scrambling towards Maria and hitting her, which inflicts mild damage. When you encounter patient demons use the Chinese Cleaver if your ammo is scarce. If not, use the Revolver. Knock the demon down to the ground by hitting it with a melee weapon or shooting it down with the Revolver, and then finish the demon off by kicking it once. If you do not kick the demon when it is on the ground, it will get back up and will have nearly full health, so make sure you always kick the demon when it is on the ground. This goes for all demons, unless they die before you get a chance to kick them, or if you can't kick them at all. If you do not want to fight a patient demon just run away. If you are in a dark area, you can simply walk right by them without them knowing you are there. ------------- Giant Roaches ------------- ------------------------------------ Locations: Throughout the whole game ------------------------------------ You can hear a roach by listening for a buzzing/cricket like sound. A roach has 1 type of attack. It will run towards you and will bite Maria's foot. To deal with a roach, simply run away until it's gone or just run at it so that Maria's heel of her shoe will crush it. But if it is really annoying you use the Revolver, 1 shot. If you in an open area, like the streets, roaches will try to run away, but if you are in a small area, it is very likely that they will try to attack you. ---------- Mannequins ---------- ------------------------------------ Locations: Throughout the whole game ------------------------------------ Mannequins have only one attack. Their attack is at extremely close range, so they are pretty easy to get by. Their attack is whacking Maria with one of its arms/legs. This attack is a powerful so stay away from mannequins. But do not worry about using a melee weapon on them, but don't under- exaggerate them. If you have lots of ammo, use the Revolver to deal with them. ************************* 20. WEAPONS ************************* ============= Melee Weapons ============= These weapons do not require ammunition. Instead, you have to hit the enemy with your melee weapon. If you ever run out of ammunition, or if your ammunition in scarce, equip and use a melee weapon. --------------- Chinese Cleaver --------------- This weapon is found on the bar in Heaven's Night. It is the only Melee weapon in the Born from A Wish Scenario. The Chinese Cleaver has two attacks. Down and across. A good strategy is to run with Maria on the street and run into an enemy while holding the Right Trigger and A. Repeat this strategy until the enemy is one the ground then kick it. ======== Firearms ======== Each gun comes loaded with one clip. You will have to collect ammunition that is lying around, to keep using the gun. Each gun is different in speed and power. -------- Revolver -------- This weapon belongs to Maria and is what you start off with. It can hold 6 bullets in each clip. The Revolver does not have a fast firing rate so try not to stand too close to your enemies. To shoot it, Hold the Right Trigger and press or hold A. ************************* 21. CONTROLS ************************* These controls are the very similar to the Main Scenario of Silent Hill 2, but they are slightly different. Here they are anyway: Control Function D-Pad/Left Thumbstick Movement (2D or 3D style), move in Menu/ Screen cursor Right Thumbstick Press to use health item START Pause game BACK Open Menu, accept, skip scene A Accept, search, attack, stomp or kick Black Button Run, guard White Button Cancel, exit Menu/Puzzle, toggle Y Quick Map B Sidestep right X Sidestep left Right Trigger Ready weapon Left Trigger + Right Thumbstick Look in all forward directions Left Trigger Position camera behind Maria ================= 3D and 2D Control ================= The default setting is 3D Control but you may change it in the Options Menu if you wish. In 3D Control, in order to move, you will need to make the front of James facing the direction you want to travel. In 2D Control you can just run whatever way you want to without changing where James is facing. ============== Secret Options ============== To access this menu you need to go to the Options Menu then press either the Left or Right Trigger. In this Secret Options Menu you can change different things including Noise Filter, which makes the game look all fuzzy if it is on, Walk/Run Control which you can make it so you don't have to hold the black button to run or if you have to. Others are Weapon Control, Map Zoom, Blood Color, and View Control. But in order to change the Noise Filter off you need to beat the game at least once. You will also receive the ammo multiplying option once you beat the game once so you can use normal, x2 or x3 the ammo! ========================== Switching Walk/Run Control ========================== In Silent Hill 2, you will be running for the majority of the game. It is mostly pointless to not run in some cases, even in very small areas. So go in the Secret Options menu and switch the Walk/Run Control so you don't have to hold the Black Button the whole time. This is a lot better for the whole game and esprecialy the streets and larger areas. And On the normal Xbox Controller, you have to move one of your fingers all the way to the Black Button to run with the normal Walk/Run Control. This can be hectic an annoying so it makes the game a lot better if you switch the control. ************************* 22. WALKTHROUGH ************************* ------------------ | Legend | | ======== | | New Area | | ======== | | ------ | | Puzzle | | ------ | ------------------ ========================= West South Vale ========================= After the video exit the room and go through the green door to the left on the opposite side of the wall. In this area take the Chinese Cleaver stabbed into the counter and exit to outside. Once outside, head South down Carroll Street, East on Rendell Street then North on Munson Street. Be sure to stay on the right side of Munson Street and you should see a blocked off entrance to Blue Creek Apartments with a truck in front of it. To a little left of blocked off entrance is a door, go through it. Kill the or just walk past the Mannequin and enter the mansion ========================= Baldwin Mansion ========================= Once inside, find and go through the double doors. Enter the door on the left, go up the stairs and try to go through the door on the right. Ernest Baldwin, the owner of the mansion, is behind the door. After the video go through the door directly in front of the stairs, kill or ignore the Mannequin and enter the door on the right to access the balcony. Pick up the White board, go back through both doors and go down the stairs. On the way down you should hear a thump. Go through the main floor door and you can see that the cover for the fireplace has fallen. Go investigate it to find a ladder, climb up it. Pick up the Black Board and the Red Board and examine the grave which appears to be Ernest's daughter's, Amy. ------------------------- Acacia Key Puzzle ------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- This puzzle is may seem hard at first. But it actually isn't. There is a solution where you can figure the puzzle out without my help. Just copy the squares on the plates to 3 pieces of paper around equally sized. Then cut out the squares and try to find a way that you can put all 3 boards on each other so that there is no blue background (on the grave) by with your 3 own paper of what you can call boards. But if you don't understand what I mean then here is how you solve the puzzle: 1. Put in the White Board as it is 2. Put in the Black Board as it is 3. Put in the Red Board 90 Degrees to the left You may be wondering and no, it doesn't matter which order you put in the boards. As long as the White Board and the Black Board are put in as they are and the Red Board is put in 90 Degrees to the left you will solve the puzzle. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- After the puzzle is solved Maria will get the Acacia Key. Head back down the ladder, go through the door on the right, the door you came out before you went up the ladder, and go up the stairs Up here go through the door in front of you, enter the door at the end of the hallway on the right and enter through the door and Maria will use the Acacia key. Once inside the hallway, go past the Piano Room and enter the Kids Room. Go up to the table beside the bed and take the Matches and leave the room. Now continue down the hallway to find another door, go through it into the attic. Note: There is no map of this area. Go up the sitars and you should hear voices. You might notice that the room is dark and Maria says she can't see anything when you try to examine something. Remembering that you have Matches, find the candle on the table and use the Matches. Now go to the chair with something underneath it to find the Birthday Card. There is no more to do here so go down the stairs and you should hear Amy, she says: "Give it..." ... "To my daddy." Exit the attic, go down the stairs and exit through the door that you used the Acacia Key for. Go through the 2 doors so that you are in the where Ernest was behind the door and go through the door that he was behind. There is no one in here now, well, besides you. Enter through the door on the right, go through the only unlocked door to the stairs and go down the stairs. Once at the bottom enter the east hallway beside the Main Kitchen door. Go down the long hallway. Enter the Service Room and exit through the other door. Go through the door directly in front of you, enter the study and try to open the other door to find that Ernest is behind this door now. After Maria and Ernest are talking for awhile Ernest asks you to get the White Liquid (which is the White Chrism in the Main Scenario) and bring it to him. After the video exit the room, go back through the door that led you to this area, find the stairs and go up them. Exit through the door to lead you outside. Now go to the left and enter Blue Creek Apartments. ========================= Blue Creek Apartments ========================= In here go through the door in front of you and enter Room 105 on the left. Grab the White Liquid (White Chrism) on the desk and exit the room along with Blue Creek Apartments by going back into the stairwell and exiting through the door in front of you. Go back in the Baldwin Mansion. ========================= Return to Baldwin Mansion ========================= Go down the stairs, go through the Service Room and the door after that and enter the Study. Go up to the door and try to go in it. A video will play. Maria and Ernest are talking for awhile then Maria opens the door - There is nothing there. After the camera is looking around the room revealing nothing but the room itself and a table Maria in outside where you see Laura in the Main Scenario. She puts her Revolver to her head and puts it down. Then she throws it away. She starts walking away and she whispers "James..." and the Born From A Wish Scenario is over. ************************* 23.

FROM AMY BALDWIN ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Memo Title: Plant Encyclopedia : Acacia A genus of evergreen trees of the mimosa tribe of the pea family. Its tiny flowers are yellow or white and grow in clusters. Common varieties include the "gum tree". The Acacia Tree is a potent symbol in many religions across the World. In Christianity it represents eternal life and morality. In ancient Egypt it represented purity and rebirth, while in ancient Babylonia it was thought of as the tree of the Godess Ishtar and was a symbol of light. It was also a holy tree to the Ancient Jews who built the sacred Ark of the Covenenant from it and for whom it signified a peaceful death and release from grief. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Memo Title: "Lost Memories" I have the strongest trust - you may even can it faith - in the miracle called "Ressurection of the Dead". Upon the hill where the light descended, the Beast intoned his song. With words of blodd, drops of mist and the vessel of night, the grave became an open field. The people wept in fear and joy at the reunion, but my faith in the salvation of Xuchilpaba did not waver. It is also spoken of in the ancient legends. The original worshippers did not believe that death was the end but that it was simply the path by which the decreased returned to nature. They also believed the process was reversible.
