My summer holiday will end in no time. During these days, I have decided to make a FAQ/Walkthrough before it's over as it's been a long time since the last guide I made. First I did intend to wait for the English version of this game "Silent Hill 4 : The Room" so that I wouldn't get troubles with language problem. But the Language option which includes English has made me buy the game earlier than I thought. Along with playing the game, I decide to make this guide - my first Silent Hill guide. "Silent Hill 4 : The Room" is just the next Silent Hill adventure following the previous games that have been spreading its popularity among the game world, created by the famous Konami. Each game is a horror story about certain characters related to the same location named "Silent Hill", which brought tragedies and happiness to them because of some reasons. "Silent Hill 4 : The Room" is no exception. Although each story seems separated at first, we can find their hidden relations to one another via the nolstagic stories and the mysteries of Silent Hill. Silent Hill has been one of my most favourite game series on Horror Adventure after the classic Resident Evil. But its complicated structures, many puzzling riddles did prevent me from making guides for it. But now "Silent Hill 4 : The Room" has been created to have a pretty different style from the previous games and I found that I can deal with it to write a guide. That's why this FAQ/Walkthrough is born. This guide is made for Japanese version. But all information and items' names in the guide are based on the English, which can be switched to by using the "Options" of the game. So you may find some info in my guide have different name from some other guides dedicating to fresh- Japanese. As this is my first Silent Hill guide, I can't confirm it would be very good, so I hope that you readers can send me your ideas after reading it. See more information about contacting me in Section XII part C. Your ideas will be all appreciate and will make my work better. And another note which is very important : I'm writing this guide to help those people who are stuck in the game. But I'd rather you played the game yourself so that it'll be much more fun, since you discover it by yourself. Just use guides when you are in extreme trouble. As this is a full guide, it undoubtedly contains several spoilers. Notice this before you decide to use my guide, okay ? Thanks for reading.

You can open the "Options" menu by selecting "Options" in the title screen. During the game, press Pause to stop the game, then clicking Triangle button will trigger the same "Options" menu which ALWAYS STAYS IN ENGLISH. Whenever an option is made change, it'll be highlighted in yellow. Then when you exit the "Options" screen, you'll be asked again if you want to make those changes or not. Just answer "Yes" if you agree. Here are some important options you should check. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ LANGUAGE : JAPANESE/ENGLISH ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Default : Japanese This is important for those who don't know Japanese but still get this version to play. It's lucky that Silent Hill 4 has got this option to switch between Japanese and English. Just open this "Options" screen and trigger this option, then use the directional buttons to choose the language that you are more fluent in. But no matter what language you select here, the characters in game always speak English. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SUBTITLES : ON/OFF ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When being switched on, there will be subtitles during all the conversation scenes of the game. The language of the subtitles depends on the choice you made in "Language" option. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ BUTTON CONFIGURATION ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is no doubt important when you begin to play a new game. The game gives you three types of configurations to select. Just pick the one you get used to the most. The default control is Type A. For the contents of these types, read Part B - "Controls" just after this part. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ DEFAULT CONTROL : WALK/RUN ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is for the character's default movement : walking or running. If you choose "Walk" here, it means moving the Left Analog Stick only will make the character walk. He just runs when you move it along with the "Cancel" button (See "Controls" part). Vice versa, if you choose "Run", the character will run as you move the Left Analog Stick only, and then walk if you hold the "Cancel" button along. This is up to you. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ BLOOD COLOUR : RED/GREEN/PURPLE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is for the violence level of the game. The default selection is "Red", that means the highest level of violence. When you attack other ones or receive physical damage, blood will be cast out in red that may look so explicit and "realistic". So if you want to reduce violence, just change the blood colour into "Green" or "Purple", it may make you feel better. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ HEAD MOTION : ON/SLIGHT/OFF ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is to create head motions for the character in First Person Mode. + On (Default) : You can move the view up and down as normally as moving to left or right. + Slight : You can move the view up and down, but they won't be as flexible as "On" selection. + Off : You can't move the view up and down. Just moving to left or right is acceptable. Although the game gives you these choices, I think there's no need to change the default selection which is "On", since it's also necessary. Is it unpleasant when you can't move freely in the annoying First Person Mode ? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ HIDE GAUGE : ON/OFF ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you choose "On" : The lifebar will be ALWAYS shown at the top left of the screen in every situation. If you choose "Off" (default selection) : The lifebar is hidden in most of the time and only shows up on the top left of the screen when you press "Pose" button or when the character gets damaged. Which one to pick is up to you. If you want to keep track of the character's life all the time, get "On". If you don't want the lifegauge to block your screen when it's not necessary, turn it "Off". ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ HIDE ICON : ON/OFF ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Same as thew Hide Gauge option. If you choose "On" : The item inventory always shows up at the bottom of the screen no matter what. If you choose "Off" : The item inventory only appears when you open it by pressing "Select" button. [~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~ ][~] B- CONTROLS [~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~ ][~] Well, in this PAL version you are provided with three types of controls. These are the buttons that have the same functions in all three types : --------------------------- DIRECTIONAL BUTTONS --------------------------- Function : all are used to select items and move the cursor in certain screens. Up button : Move up Down button : Move down Left button : Move to the left Right button : Move to the right --------------------------- BUTTONS OF MOVEMENT --------------------------- - Left Analog Stick : Move the character (Classic style) : + Move up : character goes to the north. + Move down : character goes to the south. + Move left : character goes to the left. + Move right : character goes to the right. + Rotate : character rotates. - Right Analog stick : Move the camera view in First Person mode. + Move up : camera goes up. + Move down : camera goes to the south. + Move left : camera goes to the left. + Move right : camera goes to the right. + Rotate : rotating the camera. --------------------------- OTHERS --------------------------- Start button : Pause Select button : Item Information --------------------------- BASIC CONTROLS --------------------------- Type A (Japanese type) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Triangle button : Open Map/Memo screen. View "Options" during Pause screen. Circle button : Action button Select/Investigate Attack (when Pose button being held) Cross button : Cancel Run (hold along with Left Analog Stick) Square button : Use/Equip item. L1 trigger : Dodge/Evade (during Pose) L2 trigger : Rear Camera R1 trigger : Dodge/Evade (during Pose) R2 trigger : Pose/Prepare weapon Type B : ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Triangle button : Open Map/Memo screen. View "Options" during Pause screen. Circle button : Cancel Run (hold along with Left Analog Stick) Cross button : Action button Select/Investigate Attack (when Pose button being held) Square button : Use/Equip item. L1 trigger : Dodge/Evade (during Pose) L2 trigger : Rear Camera R1 trigger : Dodge/Evade (during Pose) R2 trigger : Pose/Prepare weapon Type C : ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Triangle button : Open Map/Memo screen. View "Options" during Pause screen. Circle button : Use/Equip item. Cross button : Action button Select/Investigate Attack (when Pose button being held) Square button : Cancel Run (hold along with Left Analog Stick) L1 trigger : Dodge/Evade (during Pose) L2 trigger : Rear Camera R1 trigger : Dodge/Evade (during Pose) R2 trigger : Pose/Prepare weapon As this is the Japanese version I'm writing for, Type A is the default control, in which Circle and Cross buttons get exchanged function compared to the American controls. So if you don't get used to it, just select the others for your convenience. [~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~ ][~] C- BATTLE SYSTEM [~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~ ][~] //EQUIP WEAPONS// The Pose button as well as the attack button doesn't work if Henry does not hold anything. So in order to fight, you must equip him with an item that can be used as a weapon. Press the Select button to trigger the Item Bar, then choose the item/weapon you want to equip and press the Action button. Normal items will have green cursor, while the equipable items have red one. When you equip it, there will be a little "E" symbol above the item which is a sign telling you that you are being equipped with it. You can not only equip weapons, but also some other items which I'll notice in the walkthrough. //FIGHTING ENEMIES// Press and hold the Pose button to make your character prepare his weapon. Then when there are enemies around, press the Action button to hit. In this game the enemies are automatically locked on, and Henry will target the nearest one around him. Henry performs different poses for each different weapon he uses. His attacking poses also depend on how much the hit gets charged. //CHARGING ATTACKS// This may be a new thing in Silent Hill 4 : charging your attack. Notice the "C" gauge next to Henry's lifebar. When you perform attacks, the gauge is filled up. The more you keep hitting the attack button, the more it gets filled and it comes to peak, Henry will perform the strongest hit (the power of the hits also depend on the weapon you are using). After that, the gauge returns to the beginning and just keep hitting to charge it during the fights. Just one note : Charging is not very effective with firearms. //FIREARMS// Equipping and using melee weapons are pretty simple. So I don't mention much here. But using firearms is a little confusing here. Just equip the gun and use it as you do with melee weapons. But the ammunitions is a different story. Unlike previous Silent Hill games, all the bullet clips you collect CAN'T BE COMBINED ALTOGETHER in Henry's inventory (but they can in Storage Box). While the inventory has limit, using and relying on a gun as your main weapon is truly inconvenient since they occupy a lot of spaces in the Item Bar. So think carefully if you want to choose gun as your weapon of choice. During the use, Henry will automatically reload the gun when it runs out of bullets. But it takes a lot of his time while you can't be careless with the monsters around. So in order to reload faster, open the Inventory, choose the bullet clip and press the Action button. They'll be loaded to their gun. In case you want to load a DIFFERENT KIND OF BULLETS from the ones you're using, you MUST EMPTY YOUR GUN FIRST. Then choose that type of bullets in the inventory and press the Action button. It's a little tricky, right ? But we must accept it. //GETTING DAMAGE// Well, I think you players all know what this means : You get damaged when the enemies attack you exactly, and your lifebar is absorbed. But here in Silent Hill 4, there are also some unusual damage : 1. First type of damage is the popular conception of most games : Your lifebar is absorbed when you get a direct attack from the enemies : A dog's bite, ghosts' impaling, strike, etc. It's not necessary to discuss more, since it's been easy enough for you to understand. You can completely dodge these hits by normal moving, running or evading. 2. Second type of damage : When Henry touches something that-he- shouldn't- touch. For instance, when a ghost shows up from a wall, he causes sticky black slime around and then floats out with it. If you let Henry touch this slime, he'll surely get hurt. So don't think that it's harmless. If you don't believe, just try. 3. Third type of damage : Headache. The lifebar will be absorbed a little when Henry gets headache, and this happens whenever there are ghosts around. If you are staying in an area that has ghosts, sometimes they will do something to make Henry get headache with these phenomena : fearful noises and the screen going red. Avoid this by not going around with them, and run to another area soon. The ghost can still cause Henry's headache even when you are having him beat them. This becomes more "usual" when Room 302 is invaded by demons later in the game, if you don't exorcise them with special items. [~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~ ][~] D- DIFFICULTY SETTINGS [~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~ ][~] This game has three basic difficulties : Easy, Normal and Hard. Needless to say, choosing the difficulty will affect the whole scenario you'll play next. So let me give you some words before getting one. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ EASY MODE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This mode is the best choice for beginners of this game. You can easily get through the game by the first playthrough and even be able to obtain the best/good ending. Enemies in this mode have fairly bad health and low AI (Artificial Intelligence) that are mostly your pieces of cakes. They won't try to attack you so much, leaving spare time for you to kill them. Moreover, Henry seems strong as their hits grows weaker compared to other modes. Generally, I think if you are a newcomer, trying this mode is better than Normal mode. For the reason, read the next passage about Normal mode. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ NORMAL MODE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Its name "Normal" may let you think that it suits most of players. But in my opinion, it's not. In order to play through this mode, I think you have certain skills and certain knowledge about the ways and the enemies, since they are harder than you expected. The enemies are wiser and they themselves can dodge your hits and counterattack. They bear much stronger vitality and their hits exactly cause more damage on Henry. Since the number of healing items is limited while you need them for later half, you may need to return to Room 302 many times to heal. Most of the enemies in this mode won't let you have time to breathe once you join in the battles. For the Sniffer Dogs, don't think that you can dodge them like you often did with some other enemies. They are faster and more accurate than you thought. Anyway, my best advice for you is that you should play Easy mode before choosing this mode. Then you won't be shocked so much. I also hear that Normal mode in the American version is equal to the Easy mode in Japanese version, while its Easy mode is just more and more easier. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ HARD MODE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Well, what can I say here ? If you want to imagine how this mode, just think of Normal mode, then double its difficulty plus a little harder riddles. This is not a joke anymore. In order to play through this mode, you must have great skills at both evasion and attack. Since dodging doesn't work with most of the enemies, attacking and killing them are always ways to defend if you are a good fighter who can end the battles without receiving so much damage. If you can play through Hard mode under 2 hours, kill a certain amount of enemies on the way and obtain all the files (and a fine ending if you can), you'll surely get 10 big stars. Besides, a few riddles in Hard mode are altered a bit. But they don't matter at all if you have learned by heart the Normal game. ======================================================================= ==== [][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][ ][][ [] [] [] SECTION V : CHARACTERS [] [] [] [][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][ ][][ ======================================================================= ==== There are several characters you need to know about this game. But in order not to spoil your game, here are the most essential ones you must get acquanted with : |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| | HENRY TOWNSHEND | |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~| | A 28-year-old single man. You will take control of him during the game.| | Not much is known about his biography. What we know is that two years | | ago, he moved to live in Room 302 of an apartment in South Ashfield | | Heights, a town which is a few kilometres from Silent Hill. It was | | going happily for him until one day, Henry dreamed of a nightmare. Then| | things happened to him so suddenly : He was confined by his very room | | whose entrance door is locked by a bunch of undestroyable chains ; the | | toilet can't be used ; even the windows are cracked ; all means of | | communication such as TV and telephone don't work. All his screams for | | help from outside were strangely not heard no matter whatever he did. | | He was completely cut off from the outside world by the cursed room and| | it's been five day when his "real" journey to find the Truth begins... | |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~| |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| | EILEEN GALVIN | |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~| | The pretty lady who lives next door to Henry. There's a hole in his | | room that connects to Eileen's which was created by someone staying | | there before Henry came to live. But it's strange that Eileen seems to | | be unaware of the existence of the hole and Henry can do nothing to | | contact her with it but see through it. | |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~| ======================================================================= ==== [][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][ ][][ [] [] [] SECTION VI : WALKTHROUGH [] [] [] [][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][ ][][ ======================================================================= ==== Before entering the game and using the main walkthrough, I advise to read this Part A "General Tips" because they may be necessary, especially when you play this game the first time. [~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~ ][~] A- GENERAL TIPS & NOTES [~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~ ][~] 1) When travelling to the alternate worlds, you will see many strange- designed holes scatterring around. Have Henry enter them, you'll be back to apartment Room 302. This is the ONLY place where you can save during the game, place items in the infinite storage box and where you can heal Henry fully for the first half of the game so then there will be many things needed to be paid attention here : - The Save Point is the orange notebook by the window in the Living Room. As you are playing the game, especially when you are new, it's recommended to save at every little process you have made. The game can grow more challenging than you thought, so ALWAYS save and don't regret about that. - "Silent Hill 4 : The Room" has got rid of characters' infinite inventory. There's no Menu Screen and the items you get will be shown in the bottom of the screen like a pop-up. You can only carry a certain number of items each time (10 items). If the number of items are over 10, you can't hold anymore. Seems difficult, right ? especially when we have got used too much to the three previous games. But you'll be familiar with it soon. As your inventory is limited, the Storage Box in Room 302 is your friend along with the Save Point during the game. Since Henry cannot exchange or leave items on the way (like the characters in Resident Evil Outbreak); when your inventory is over-limit, you must put away some unnecesary items by going back to use the box whose capacity is unlimited. I assure that you'll use it more often than expected, since Henry will be given tons of stuffs in the journey, even including some things you may not need, and later his partner's a few properties. So try to do your best, okay ? + Finally, the healing ability of Room 302. In the first half of the game, this is the only place where Henry can find the best safety. So whenever you get damaged, return here and your lifebar will be automatically healed fully. During this time, try NOT to use healing items to save them as much as you can until this beloved ability is ended. I'll notice you when this comes. That is everything you must know about your home sweet home "The Room". 2) Try to get used to melee weapons. It seems that Silent Hill 4 has been created for you to touch up these simple weapons. First reason : Guns and their ammunition take tons of spaces in your inventory, as you CAN NO MORE combine the bullet clips into one like before. In my opinion, it's good for you to always have at least one melee weapon - your favourite one - in your inventory. If you prefer guns, bring one and a few bullet clips which should be two or three. Bringing more will give you a few troubles later. Secondly, most living enemies in Silent Hill 4 can be dealt by melee weapons without so many difficulties. Just use guns for harder enemies, mini-bosses, and later, to prevent your partner from getting damaged. 3) Well, this is a rule for all Silent Hill players : MAP IS YOUR FRIEND ! I assure that Silent Hill games have been designed for you to stick with map. You can easily get confused by the large environments and sensitive cameras. And one more thing : Unlike previous Silent Hill games, you can't always find maps for each area you come cuz you are supposed to explore them yourself and Henry will help you draw it. If you travel the whole place, you'll have its full map and that will be very necessary for later revisiting trips. 4) In the map, the blue arrow stands for Henry, and the red arrow shows his partner (if there is). 5) When you kill an enemy, make sure that they have died by letting Henry stand close to the body and press the Action button. He will stamp on it as the finishing touch. This works for all enemies, except the undead spirits and the final boss who hangs around the game. I think this has been familiar with you who have spent playing the previous Silent Hill games. 6) One new thing in "Silent Hill 4 : The Room" is the First-person view which is only available in Room 302. Use the Right Analog Stick to move the view as and look around and use the Left Analog Stick to move your character. Once an Eye symbol shows up on the top left of the screen, that means you are seeing an objects that can be checked. Press the Action button then lets you examine them or use them. Besides, Henry can do nothing else in this First-person mode : You can't equip/unequip weapons here, for example. 7) Each time you complete a certain task or move to another world, remember to go back to Room 302. New files can appear for you to take. They can stay either under the entrance door or at the bookshelf by the window in the living room. You should read them for the story, and the number of files you collect can decide your ranks after beating the game. Moreover, not only are new memos and new events behind the peekholes what you get, but you may also find some "interesting" phenomena as well if you keep a good attention.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXX ------------------------- ALTERNATE ROOM 302 ------------------------- You start in the bedroom of Room 302, in First-person mode. Examine the things here if you like : the phone, the bed, the windows, the desk and the paintings. It's not so necessary, but you'll figure out something wrong to the hero. Enter the only door here. This is Living Room and Kitchen stuck to each other. Objects that can be examined here are : the refrigerator, wash-basin, cooker, photos next to the light, the windows and the Storage Box (which the character hasn't figured what it is yet). But please examine the strange image (a man's face) stuck to the wall above the photos. A cutscene is triggered and you end up here. ------------------------- NORMAL ROOM 302 ------------------------- You find yourself in the bedroom again. This time examine the wider- -opened window. If you press the button when the Eye is at the lower full glass pane, Henry will say that it's cracked. If you press at the upper pane which is partly covered, you'll be able to view the outside world. The windows here and the ones in Living Room are the same. In the outside pay attention to a girl in red walking down the Subway. Then press the Cancel button twice to end the view when it's available. You can try touching the phone if you like. Nothing major here, so head to the next door. Proceed a few steps to trigger a cutscene. You'll realize Henry's awful situation now. The first door you see that opposes the bedroom door takes you to Bathroom which has nothing to do now. Walk to the kitchen. The door at the corner is Laundry Room, which has nothing yet either. After the cutscene, you should examine the locked entrance door for the blood text and a small key hole that can help you see the apartment corridor. Then look down to find a File. Press the Action button to take it. You want to know where the Save Point is, right ? It's the orange notebook on the table near the window which is pretty easy to see. Remember it, okay ? Bump the fridge to grab [WINE BOTTLE] and [CHOCOLATE MILK]. You can equip the Wine Bottle as a weapon, but I don't recommend to use such an easy-broken item. Next, you can examine the TV, the bookshelf and turn on/off the cassette above. There is a Book Scrap at the bottom of the bookshelf though. Now it's time to get acquainted with the Storage Box at a corner of the room. You can either leave the items in the fridge or get them and place in the box, as you don't use them now. After doing all the tasks, Henry will hear a strange noise. This time enter the right door to Bathroom. There's a hole caused by some abnormal thingy. Grab the [STEEL PIPE] and equip it. This seems to be a pretty useful weapon for a long time of your game. Have Henry get in it to enter your first alternate world - the Subway World. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXX PART 2 : THE SUBWAY WORLD Objective : Get in the hole in Bathroom to enter The Subway World. Do whatever the new partner asks you til the end. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXX ------------------------- THE SUBWAY ------------------------- Henry will land down after going on a strange escalator. Go straight to the next area. Here the right path has all doors locked, so ignore and approach the lady in red in front of you - Cynthia - who is your first partner. After the cutscene, head to the next area until another cutscene appears. Try to damage the two dogs with the pipe. When they lie, step on them so that they will really die. You should do this for every enemy you fight. That won't be so hard. There's nothing that can be found in Men's Toilet. So enter the Women's Toilet. There's a hole here. You can enter it if you like, but I recommend it's not time now. So exit the toilet and run straight to the next area. Here you find the entrance and exit to Lynch Street Line and King Street Line. But before that, strike the only dog here go ahead. This is a forkroad with two blocked staircases. The gate on the right is cracked too. A giant worm ? Don't worry, it's just harmless. Approach the right way where the worm stays to search for [PISTOL BULLETS]. If you like, you can get some blood from the worm by beating it for fun. But it's just useless. After having taken a look at the whole area, make your way back to the Women's Toilet and get in the hole. There will be a cutscene and you are in Room 302 now. Go to the other room and check the drawer next to the kitchen (where the photos are), Henry will push it aside to reveal a hole to the room next door. Grab the [PISTOL] - one of your beloved weapons and read the text beside the hole if you like. From this time on, you can use this hole to watch your neighbour : Eileen Galvin, who sometimes shows up there. Do your first time by pressing the Action button while placing the Eye symbol at the peekhole. As another cutscene is triggered, go back to the bedroom and pick up the phone to listen to Cynthia's words for a clue. Then when you take control of Henry, head for the Living Room and look through Eileen's room again. Then enter the Bathroom to return to the Subway through the hole. A mannequin that looks like Cynthia appears in your sight. Examine it for [LYNCH STREET LINE COINS]. Then go out. Make your way to the station where you saw gates to Lynch Street Line. Stand at the entrance and use the Lynch Street Line Coins to go in. Get downstairs. You may be attacked by two undead monsters. Don't forget that they are undefeatable. You can use your weapon to stun them for a while and now try to dodge them by moving. On Henry's left (the right side on the screen) ahead is a little room which has nothing but dogs. So don't go there. Instead, go down the next stairs. You meet Cynthia again. She's getting stuck in the train and you must help her out. Keep running to the first compartment of the train (on the south end in the map) and get in it. In the compartment, press the red button on the right. Then go out and take Cynthia. Go along the train to find another opened entrance to enter it. Don't forget to notice the vending machine that has the symbol "1$". Your task now is to overcome the compartments to reach the other side of the station. It's very confusing, just try to get in the ways that you can. If you get blocked, find another way. It looks annoying but there's only one way so just do your best. The undead monsters pursue you tremendously here, so don't get confused and try to dodge them and use your weapons when necessary. You'll be able to reach the other side. On the way remember to notice a locked red box that has "1000$" written on it. Here is the map of the train : You begin at the entrance of the 1st compartment to reach the exit at 6th compartment. Look at this guide map to support your going. *Symbols Explanation : + E : entrance/exit + X : the ways/doors you can go through + "===" or "___" : blocks (you can't pass) + B : the locked red box you need to notice ___ ___ ___ | | | | E X X___| 6 | | X E 1 | | |===| | | |B | |___|___|_X_| _X_|___|___ | | | | | X | | 5 | | | | 2 Where you got down |===| | | | X | | |___|___|_X_| _X_|___|___ | | | | | | X | 4 | X |===| 3 | | X E | | | | |___|___|___| |___|___|___| When you have been in the other side, go upstairs and grab [PISTOL BULLETS] lying on the floor. There are two doors here but only one is openable. Get in it (Cynthia will leave you once you go in). Another hole here ! If you like, enter it to save. After that, climb down the ladder to a hellish area. Go along the path. Just ignore the right way and head straight to another ladder. Climb up. Again, some [PISTOL BULLETS] for you. This is the opposite room of the one that has the hole. So unlock the door because you'll return here later. Go back down the hellish area and take the right path. Some freaking undead are around here, so be careful. Keep running til a staircase. Get down and enter the door. Another freaking area ! Kill all the dogs and go along. Here you can find another train. Get in it and go all the way to first compartment to search for a [9-IRON GOLF]. Leave the train. Keep going to the left, you see the escalators. Take the [NUTRITION DRINK] around and please save it. If you want to save or heal, go to the back of the escalators for another hole and you should place the Nutrition Drink to the Storage Box, since they will be very necessary for you in the later chapters of the game. Go on the escalators. Welcome to the home of wall monsters. As Henry is being taken up, these babes rise from the wall to joke him. If you don't want to beat them, try to pass them when they stop attacking. A strike of them can throw Henry a long way down and takes a little of your lifebar. If you want to give them some hits, use whatever weapon you like. Both long-ranged and melee weapons can end each of them within about 2 hits. When reaching the peak, run left to the little room for [PISTOL BULLETS]. Then go upstairs to the turnstile. Examine the left door for [PLACARD OF "TEMPTATION"]. Enter it to see a cutscene. This is the end of your first journey as well as your first partner... If you forget to write down the number shown during the cutscene, don't worry, cuz it's not necessary. ------------------------- ROOM 302 ------------------------- After the cutscene, head to the other room. This time take the [CHOCOLATE MILK] with you. From now on, please PRACTICE this habit every time you return here : Look through the peekhole to Eileen's room ; examine the peekhole on the entrance door ; look around for new scraps and files. The reason is that some of them will trigger cutscenes to continue the story and you can't refuse to do that. Besides, the files provide you with the story information, too. Collecting all the files will give you more points in the ranking. This time the new file under tne entrance door is "Red Diary - April 8". When you have finished, enter the Bathroom. The hole has grown a bit bigger. Get in it. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXX PART 3 : THE FOREST WORLD Objective : Enter The Forest World. Examine everything and follow the guides you receive til the end. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXX --------------------- THE FOREST --------------------- Henry finds himself sitting in a forest ground. Notice the well here, then enter the only door here. **During this Forest chapter, please try to notice and remember the locations of the wells cuz you'll need them later. But if you don't remember, it's okay as I'll let you know then. Besides, you'll find Henry keeps paying attention to any objects that have weird carvings on them. He can't read them, but it's alright, since they are no use. You'll be able to read them later. Now I have copied the Forest map to make it easier for you to keep track of my walkthrough. *Symbol explanations : + S : Holes to return to Room 302 + B : where you start + C : Jasper's car + T : Strange tree root + M : [MEDICAL KIT] + G : [GOLF CLUB] ____ ___ _________| | | | ___| | | C | ______ _____ | | | | | |____|_|S | M| |---| ___| |----|----| | | | S| | | | | | | | | B |___| |__S___| | | |____|------| | | | |___| | |___|Wish |---| |_____ __|House |___ | | | | | |______| | | | | |---| _______| | | | | | | | |---| |---|---| |__S____|__| | | T | GS| | | |---|___|___| | | |___| The next area has a hole. Use it if you need. Strike the flying bugs and search the area for [PISTOL BULLETS]. Proceed to the next one. This is a similar area to the previous one, and the jerks are still bugs. Kill them and go ahead. You have reached a forest place. Examine the car that you see and obtain Jasper's Memo and another file. Head to the next area. This area has a guy (Jasper Gein?) mumbling something. If you like, stay there for a while to listen to his speech. It's not useless, yet not very necessary. Enter the next place. The two next areas both have dogs or sometimes flying bugs, and I recommend you to kill them all since you can do that. There's nothing major. So keep running til you reach the centre of the first - the Wish House. Get in the hole here if you like. The door to the house is locked and your target in this chapter is to open it. This area has many doors taking you to different places around here. So follow the steps I'm writing below. Look at the map and take the south-west door. There's nothing around but dogs and bugs. Clean them with your skill and go straight to the final enterable area - the cemetary. A cutscene appears and Henry has a talk with a strange kid and Jasper. Afterwards, you can examine the tombstones and the weird carvings if you like. There's a door carved with the familiar symbol in Silent Hill 3, but it's locked. Not only this place, but you'll see these doors in every world you come later and all are locked. Now just ignore it and make all the way back to the Wish House. You'll see Jasper standing at the door after that cutscene. But don't talk to him now. Take the north-west door. As usual, this area is full of enemies, especially the second room that has a bunch of bats. Simply wipe them all. You can make all the way to outside (Toluca Lake) if you like and search for a [MEDICAL KIT] on the ground. There is a hole here. Finally, return to the Wish House. It's time to travel the south-east area if-you-like. There may be some enemies around. Notice the strange tree root whose shape resembles a hand (look at my map). Besides, there's a hole and a well in the last room though and you can grab a [6-IRON GOLF CLUB] nearby. Get back to the orphanage (Wish House). This time talk to Jasper. You are asked to give him some food if you want to get any clue from him. If you have had the [CHOCOLATE MILK] in your inventory, use it on him. If not, use the hole nearby to return to Room 302 and take it for him. Then Jasper will give you the [BLOOD-INSCRIBED SPADE]. Now make your way to the area that has the strange tree root. Stand at the root and use the Spade to dig up for the [RUSTED BLOODY KEY]. Examining it lets you know that its holder will walk in eternity. What does that mean ? If you want to know, try making your way back to the Wish House. Fog covers your sight and you'll find out that you'll never be able to return; Instead, walk in the same place again and again. So now head straight to the last room of this area (which has the hole and the well). Enter the hole. --------------------- ROOM 302 --------------------- Go to the Living Room and put the Rusted Bloody Key into the Storage Box. As you hear the bell ringing, examine the peekhole on the entrance door. Then get in the hole in the Bathroom to return to the Forest. --------------------- THE FOREST --------------------- Now you can freely go back to the orphanage without any difficulty. As you reach the destination, it's time to use the hole here. --------------------- ROOM 302 --------------------- In the Living Room, grab the key from the Storage Box and enter the hole again. --------------------- THE FOREST --------------------- You finally made it ! Use the key on the door to the Wish House and enter it along with Jasper. --------------------- WISH HOUSE --------------------- Check around the hall for whatever stuffs you can find. There's a locked door. Examine the scroll in front of the door to get "Holy Scripture Book". Jasper will be able to enter the door and then get troubles. As the door he's just got in is open, take out the [PLACARD OF "SOURCE"] and enter it. You'll end the Forest World trip here. --------------------- ROOM 302 --------------------- Listen to the radio for hot news about your "new" friend. Then do your usual task : examine the peekhole at the entrance door and the one to Eileen's room. Then search around for new files if there is. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXX PART 4 : THE WATER PRISON WORLD Objective : Examine all the areas and follow the guidance given in the scattering memos. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXX Save and prepare yourself carefully. Bring your favourite weapons and then enter the hole in the Bathroom which has grown larger... ----------------------- THE WATER PRISON ----------------------- Henry starts the journey on 1st floor of Water Prison. As you hear the scream, go along the cells to find one in which a man is confined. He'll be helped later, so just ignore him now. First, go along the circular hallway and find "Exploration Memo" on the floor. Second, I recommend you to explore all the cells here. Some are locked and just ignore them. In order to help you explore the cells more easily, I'll base on maps of them and number the cells following this order : 8 1 7 2 6 3 5 4 Look at the maps Henry draws and you'll get it. These are the cells of 1st floor : Cell 1 : locked Cell 2 : There are [PISTOL BULLETS] and a graphiti on the wall. Cell 3 : locked Cell 4 : a man is confined here, locked. Cell 5 : nothing here Cell 6 : locked Cell 7 : there's a file. Cell 8 : monsters When you have finished, exit through the big double door. This room has two other single doors and a hole to Room 302. Grab the paper stuck to the wall by the hole for "Guard's Diary". The left door is locked, so enter the right one. You are in a long spiral with bunches of wall monsters on the wall. If you don't want to get troubles in later visits, walk along the staircase yourself and wipe the monsters. If you prefer a quick shortcut, use the ladders that take you down. There's a [SAINT MEDALLION] - an anti- spirit item which you shouldn't miss lying on the staircase. So you'd better go along if you want to get it. It's an equipped item but don't use it right now, since you'll need it badly in the second half of the game. Also, don't forget to notice a locked double door on the way. Just head to the end of the staircase and get in the single door here. This looks like a water-disposal room. Kill the bats and get downstairs. Approach the bulletin to find the [WATER PRISON EXIT KEY] hanging there. Then reading the message on the bulletin will add a new file in Henry's Scrapbook list : "Waterwheel Room Message". Now make all the way back to the large room that has the hole. This time you can use the ladders around the spiral staircase to reach it faster. Use the key to unlock the other door to outside. Another spiral staircase, but much longer. This time if you explore the whole staircase by yourself, what you get is just plenty of bats. So now climb up the ladders nearby to reach the double-door on 2nd floor. Enter it. This is similar to the cell area on 1st floor. Just like the last time, check all the cells for stuffs. Here they are : Cell 1 : A lot of strange bottles here. Cell 2 : locked, there's a hole inside. Cell 3 : locked, there are a hole and a [STUN GUN] on the left table. Cell 4 : A note and hanging clothes. Cell 5 : locked, there's a hole inside. Cell 6 : locked, there's a hole inside. Cell 7 : locked, there's a hole inside. Cell 8 : There's a diary. Then exit. Use the nearby ladder to reach 3rd floor, enter the double door for another similar area if-you-like. This time go along the hallway to get used to another new baby : double-head. You can use melee weapon on him and keep hitting til he falls. Then stamp on to end his life. In fact he's very dangerous with long-ranged attacks (long arms, jumping attack) and especially when you encounter bunch of them. There are two double- head monsters and tons of slugs around here. After that, just do whatever you did in the previous areas : examine each of the cell. Cell 1 : Two wall monsters and [PISTOL BULLETS] on the chair. Cell 2 : There's a hole. Cell 3 : Toadstools and "Prison Diary". Cell 4 : a clothe lying on the floor Cell 5 : useless books Cell 6 : There's a hole. Cell 7 : A hole and a bloody bed (IMPORTANT) Cell 8 : Clothes lying on the bed and a diary After the exploration, exit for outside and climb up the final ladder for the peak of the prison. Enter the double door here. As usual, the emblem door you first see here is locked. Run to its back and find a valve handle. Rotate it to dispose the water and to light up the 3rd floor area. Go back to 3rd floor cell area. You may wonder where to go, right ? Now stand on 3rd floor and examine the maps of the three cell areas and find a room which has a hole taking you down to explored rooms of the below cells (which were found locked). In my game, it's the Cell 6 : it is unlocked and has a hole, while the Cells 6 of 1st and 2nd floors are all locked. Find that cell and enter the hole in it. If you choose the right one, the same room in 2nd floor also has a hole. Jump down it to 1st floor. Again, another hole right here. Get down it to the new area. Welcome to... two double-headed babies. This is the Shower Room and if I'm right, there's nothing to get here, so don't waste time joking with the monsters. Just unlock the double door and go out. One thing for sure is that you don't have to return to this room anymore later. In this hallway, the opposite door of the one where you've just got out is locked from other side. Just unlock the south door but don't enter it (It takes you back to the spiral staircase which has wall monsters). Instead, climb up the ladder nearby. This may be the central surveyor's room of 1st floor. Take the file "1F Surveillance Room Report" on the desk. Now you look through the 8 holes on the wall to have a view of the 8 cells. Use the Right Analog Stick to move the view to see more spaces. Try to find the cell THAT HAS A BLOODY BED AND A HOLE. In my game, it's always the locked Cell 1. After that, climb up the ladder to 2F. Again, grab the "2F Surveillance Room Report" on the desk. This room has a valve handle. Do the same task as you did on 1st floor : Look through the holes until you find a cell with bloody bed and a hole. In my game it's Cell 5. Turning the valve will rotate the whole cell area of 2nd floor. Your task is to turn the room with bloody bed here to coincide the room with bloody bed on 1st floor. Mark it on the map and turn until it coincides. If your cells are the same as mine, just turn right until they are settled. When you have finished, get on 3rd floor. Read the paper on the wall for "Secret Number Memo". Then do the same thing. In my game, the cell that has bloody bed is number 7. Turn the valve here to line it with the other two. There will be a cutscene showing the confined man managing to get out of his cell. Just keep turning until your task is complete. ------EXTRA : GETTING THE [STUN GUN]----------------------------------- ---- As I said above in the 2F cells information, there's a locked cell in which there's a hole and a [STUN GUN]. It's Cell 3 (if you haven't turned the 2nd floor yet). Since all rooms on 3rd floor are unlocked, if you want to get this Stun Gun, simply try to make a room with hole on 3rd floor coincide the room that has Stun Gun on 2nd floor. Then jump down the hole on 3rd floor and search for it. It's on the left table near the hole. This is a pretty cool weapon. One touch can knock out a double-headed monster and what you do next is just stamping on it. The disadvantage of this weapon is rather low speed. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- When you have finished, get down the ladder to B3 floor to see a cutscene with the man - Andrew DeSalvo and the familiar child you met in the Forest World. After that, use the south double door to leave. From the spiral staircase, make all the way to outside, then enter the 3rd floor cell area. Enter the cell with bloody bed that you have just lined up. Jump down the hole. Keep jumping to 2nd, then 1st, then the final basement. Congratulations ! You have reached the kitchen which has been lit. There's nothing here beside the Whitestools - a new type of monsters that is similar to Toadstools. Strike them. There are two doors here. One of them takes you to the Dining Hall, which currently has nothing to get. Find a door locked by a code. Take out the [PLACARD OF "WATCHFULNESS"] on it. Then input the code that you read in "Secret Number Memo" file (In my game it's always "0302"). Get in the door and this chapter ends. ----------------------- ROOM 302 ----------------------- Wake up and you'll hear a familiar news. Go out to Living Room and check the bottom of the entrance door for new scraps. Besides, take a look at the peekhole there and the one to Eileen's room too. Save here if you like. Settle your items in the storage box, especially place the new Placard here also. Finally, the hole in the Bathroom has grown larger. Enter it for a new exploration. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXX PART 5 : THE BUILDING WORLD Objective : Search around the place til the end. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXX ----------------------- THE BUILDING ----------------------- Henry starts in an alley somewhere in South Ashfield. There's a hole in the end of the path. Just go along the alley to the next area. Go downstairs. Either fight or dodge the money monsters if you like. Every door is broken, so don't mind. Go down another staircase for a cutscene with Richard Braintree - who lives in the same apartment as Henry. Once he has gone, the monsters will invade the area soon. Try to kill them, especially the one that guards the door. Enter it. The first two white door are locked, so just get in the main portion. Examine the spirit that is nailed by the [SWORD OF OBEDIENCE] to grab the [GHOST'S KEY]. Use it to unlock the next door. The Sword of Obedience is used to seal these spirits which are impossible for you to defeat. So if you need it for more fearful ghosts later, take it out. But that will make that spirit get up. Quickly enter the next door. This room has some more spirits. Just go down all the stairs and get in the final door. In the next little hallway, get in the second door to Albert's Sports Shop. There's a red hole here by your side. First, search the place for [5-IRON GOLF CLUB] and [ALUMINUM BAT]. There are two more doors here. One is locked, so enter the other. Go all the way down to another door. It's a Pet Store. There are several dogs and bats here. Be careful with them. Search all the shelves for [ALBERT'S SPORTS SHOP KEY] (Food & Accessories shelf). The other door here is also available, but you don't have to enter it now. Just go back to the Sports Shop and unlock the other door with the key. Take all the stairs down. There are tons of monkey monsters on the way. Reach the ground and run right to the next area. You are on an airborne alcove. The first elevator doesn't work, so take the second one. You'll see a cutscene. After that, examine the buttons and choose the Top bottom to go up. Then enter the opposite door. When you are out, go all the long way to the end and search around for a [SPADE] - a pretty cool weapon and the [SWORD OF OBEDIENCE]. Then make your way to the elevator and choose to reach bottom floor. Go out by the door. This is just a small yard, run to the fence for [PISTOL BULLETS]. Be ware of the dogs here. Enter back to the elevator and climb down the ladder. This looks like a Shower Room. The opposite ladder you see just takes you to the empty room of the elevator that Richard has got. So search around the portion for a [NUTRITION DRINK]. Then go in the small path. Kill the whitestools and get on the ladder here. You've come to another alley. There are at least two monkeys here. The door opposing the ladder is locked from other side. All the others are broken. So just run along this alley to the next place. Tons of monkeys are waiting here. It's tough now so do your best. Search around the door for a [PITCHING WEDGE] that one of the enemies held (You must defeat them in order to obtain their weapons). Then enter. Go all the way down and get in the next door. Another place to go down. Currently there's nothing here. Reach the below ground. The first two doors are locked, so enter the third one. Many leeches are around here. Examine the chair for an [RUSTY AXE]. Then check the bar for "Bartender's Memo". It tells you about the code used to unlock the next door consists of 4 last digits of their telephone numbers that can be seen on their sign. If you have paid attention to this code before and remember it, type the code at the panel now. If not, enter the red hole here to return to Room 302. ----------------------- ROOM 302 ----------------------- Examine the window and look at the outside. Move the Right Analog Stick to the left til you see the big sign with the image of wine cups. The phone number is written at the bottom, so memorize the last 4 digits. Make your way back to the bar. **In the previous times if you frequently looked through the peekhole on the door, there would be a scene in which the superintendent told Eileen that he would put a piece of paper under the door to contact Henry. If you have seen that scene, now examine the bottom of the door. You'll get the "Superintendent's Memo". In fact the content of this memo has been stained. But getting it as well as collecting all 52 memos in the scenario will help your rank in the end be better.** ----------------------- THE BUILDING ----------------------- Enter the code you've just memorized at the panel to get in the door. There's a very long staircase in front of you. The stairs down have collapsed. So your only choice is to run up. It's pretty long so do your best. Some spirits may annoy you, too. Reach the final door here and end this chapter. If you pay attention carefully to this cutscene, you'll figure out that Richard has revealed a pretty interesting info about the kid... ----------------------- ROOM 302 ----------------------- Do your usual task : examine the entrance door bottom if there's any new file. Try looking through the peekholes to the hallway and Eileen's room. Rearrange your items with the Storage Box. Then enter the bigger hole in the Bathroom. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXX PART 6 : THE APARTMENT WORLD Objective : Find a way to enter Eileen Galvin's room - Room 303. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXX Wow, this is the first time the journey takes place at your home sweet home. Are you ready ? Let's go. ----------------------- THE APARTMENT ----------------------- See a cutscene. You'll find that Room 302 and Room 303 can't be entered. So get in Room 301 (Mike's room) nearby. Approach the table to get "Mike's Diary" and a [RED PAPER]. Go to the only small segment of the room and grab "Joseph's Article". Examine the two red stuffs to take the [SUPERINTENDENT'S KEY] and the [LOCKER #106 KEY] (optional). When you've done, a spirit will appear and he always stays in this room. That means you'll meet him whenever you come here. Leave this room. In fact you can end this chapter very quickly just by entering necessary doors. I'll show that way, but then will guide you to other rooms also if you want to get some more stuffs. Your objective in this world now is to find a way to enter Eileen's room - Room 303. Currently, all other rooms in the apartment are locked. First, stand at your room - Room 302 and place the Red Paper under the door. You'll find several Red Papers like that around the apartment, and just bring all of them to place under the Room 302 door. One of them will reveal a very important hint for you to continue the story. So now get out of this hallway by the double-door. This is the hallway. Get downstairs, you'll see a man sitting here. If you stop and talk to him, after some words he'll give you the [SHABBY DOLL]. Taking this item or not will affect your later chapter. So make your choice. After that, just go down to 1st floor. If you have got the Locker #106 Key, use it to unlock the mailbox in the hallway. It's nothing but useless letters <:). Then enter the left hallway. Use the Superintendent's Key to unlock Room 105. Obtain the pile of boxes to search for a [RED PAPER], a [TORN RED PAPER] and the [APARTMENT KEYS] hanged nearby. Then check the segmented room here for "Superintendent's Diary (Umbilical Cord)". As usual, go out and place both of red papers at Room 302. And with the Apartment Keys, you can enter any room in this apartment, except Room 302 which is locked inside and Room 303 whose key is lost. The other rooms in this hallway are not necessary to enter. If you don't like to waste time, just ignore these below optional passages about them. But if you like, here they are : OPTIONAL~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - Room 106 : I guess this is Rachael's room. You can find a [MEDICAL KIT] in the bedroom. Here there's a telephone which you can try inputting the number. But it's just a useless joke and you shouldn't waste your time with it. In case you like, just say "Yes" to input the number, then you'll hear the ringing somewhere. Want to know ? It's the phone in Room 202. Besides, nothing else can be found here. - Room 107 : Nothing, just garbage. - Room 108 : Nothing major, either. END OF OPTIONAL~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The next room you MUST enter is ROOM 102. Get out of the current hallway and enter the opposite double-door. Then get in Room 102. Step ALL the leeches here, until you find that you can open the refrigerator. Grab the [TORN RED PAPER] inside. Many people have forgotten this paper because they thought they couldn't open the fridge, while the reason was tons of leeches blocking Henry. This is the most important piece, so put it under Room 302 door. Again, let me tell you about the other rooms in this area which are not necessary : OPTIONAL~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - Room 101 : Tons of guns here... Cool... but... they are just models (^_^). Take [PISTOL BULLETS] on the bar. If you like, go to the small segmented room which is a mini-library. Check the bookshelf for some fun facts about Richard if you like. - Room 103 : nothing. - Room 104 : Nothing, just annoying bats. END OF OPTIONAL~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It's time to leave. Get on 2nd floor if-you-like, since all rooms are optional, but have some files you should get. These are rooms on 2nd floor (both hallways) : OPTIONAL~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - Room 201 : nothing. - Room 202 : This is an art gallery. Looking at the paintings will let you know some fun facts about people in the apartment. Besides, nothing to get here. - Room 203 : There's a [BUG SPRAY] in the mess. I think it's a actually useless weapon. Besides, go to the bedroom, examine the bloody clothes for another [RED PAPER]. Place it under Room 302 if you want to know its content. But it's not very necessary for the events of the game. - Room 204 : nothing. - Room 205 : Approach the book mess to obtain [SKINNED MIKE CASSETTE]. You can use the radio in your present Room 302 to play it. - Room 206 : nothing. - Room 207 : As you have known, this is Richard's room. There's a [PUTTER] in the segmented bedroom and [RICHARD'S REVOLVER] on the bloody chair. This gun is more powerful than your pistol, but has lower capacity. You can get in the segmented room to examine a window here. There you can see someone pointing at Eileen's room. The remaining room you haven't visited should be Room 304 on 3rd floor : - Room 304 : In a small segmented room you can find [PISTOL BULLETS]. END OF OPTIONAL~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It's time to stick all the red papers to the locked Room 302. Then use a hole to go back to your true room to get them all. You can use the hole at either Room 301 or the 1F Hall. ----------------------- ROOM 302 ----------------------- Approach the entrance door and read all the red notes. You'll find that one of them mentions the Room 303 key "under 302's bed". So what's up ? Get in your own bedroom and find it : the [DOLL KEY] is between the bed and the windows. Take it, then use the hole in the Bathroom to return. Remember that this key CAN ONLY appear here after you read that Red Scrap volume, which is the Red Paper found in Room 102 that most people often forgot. ----------------------- THE APARTMENT ----------------------- Make all the way to Room 303 and unlock it with the key. A cutscene is triggered and you end up here. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXX PART 7 : THE HOSPITAL WORLD Objective : Find Eileen Galvin and do whatever she tells you. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXX ----------------------- ROOM 302 ----------------------- The room has grown darker now. If you get in the Bathroom, you'll see that the hole to other worlds have been closed. Where do I go now ? Go out to the entrance door and take the [SUCCUBUS TALISMAN] and another Red Diary under it. Do you see a mark above the light in Living Room ? It's a sign, but not what you need now. Enter the Laundry Room. Whoa, a bigger mark ! Examine it and Henry will say it looks like a demon. Use the Succubus Talisman on it. There appear four holes to insert something and a text. Checking the holes will let you know what to do next. Go to the Storage Box and take out all four Placards you got from previous chapters. Place the "Temptation" Placard on the left hole, the "Source" Placard on the right, "Watchfulness" on the top and "Chaos" at the bottom. Another black hole is opened. Get in it to reach your destination : The Hospital World. ------------------------------- THE HOSPITAL - 1ST FLOOR ------------------------------- A cutscene is trigger, and Henry is annoyed by a mad killer. After it, you see him get out of the room. In fact you can return to that room, but you'll find nothing besides a nurse mons... no, a mutant Patient. There are many other "awful" things to examine also if you like. But generally there's nothing to do in this room - the first Emergency Room. Try to get used to this Patient monster cuz you'll need-to-encounter-them several times later. Let me copy the Hospital map for your ease, so you'll know which room I mention during the walkthrough : *Symbol explanations : + D : usable doors + C : broken door (can't be entered) + E : Elevator + I : [EILEEN'S BAG] _____________C________________ | | | | | Emergency | | Office | | Room 1 | | | | (where | | | | you D |___D______D___| | start) | | | |___________| | | | | |Reception C D |Room | | | | |______| |___________ | | | | D |Washroom | Emergency | | | | Room 2 D |______| | | | | | | | | |___________|_____ | |Doctor's Lounge | | | | | | D | | Supply Room D I |______| | | | | | | DStairs| |_________________|__E__|______| There are a bunch of bats in the hall. Just get rid of them. Enter the Emergency Room 2 and search for [NUTRITION DRINK]. Then the Supply Room : You'll be welcomed by two "Patients". Defeat them, go in and examine the shelves for an [AMPOULE] - the best healing item. Leave this room. Enter the Office and examine the desk for a [PAPER-CUTTING KNIFE]. This is a weapon, but I don't think it's really good to use. Go into the next door to Reception Room. Here you can find a "Nurse's Memo" saying about the key to Eileen's hospital room. Examine the white blackboard with a lot of photos for a cutscene (This is the first time I see the emotionless Henry get moved). After that, go out for the hall. In the Washroom there's a hole to return. Use it if you like. In the Doctor's Lounge you can find a [MEDICAL KIT]. I wonder why Henry keeps looking at the files on the desk nearby, but you can't get it. Just exit. Try approaching the elevator. A cutscene will be shown and you find something on the floor : [EILEEN'S BAG]. Grab it if you like. The elevator doesn't work now. So finally, enter the stairway. Run up to 2nd floor. ------------------------------- THE HOSPITAL - 2ND FLOOR ------------------------------- In front of you is a long hallway with 22 rooms (11 on each side). Tons of wheelchairs run around. Hey, don't despise them. They are invisible spirits and can crash you anytime. Your weapons don't work with them, so just try to dodge. You can only stun them by hitting them. Here I'll let you know what's in the 22 rooms. But this is an IMPORTANT note : THESE 22 ROOMS ARE SWITCHED RANDOMLY EACH TIME YOU PLAY THE GAME. When you replay the game and reach this place, you'll find that the rooms don't stay the same as your previous game. Here I'll list the rooms following the order of my game, so please remember that they are random and may be different in your game, okay ? There's always a locked room and a room that has Hospital Room Key among them. In my game, the locked room is number 5 on the left and the room with key is number 6 on the left. In my previous game, the locked room is the 10th one on the right and the 6th room also on the right has key. Your task is to find the room that has key to get the key. Then find the locked room and open it with the key you've just achieved. Try to search each of the room til you discover them. Here they are : *The room that has key : The first thing you see is a snake statue. Examine it to grab the [HOSPITAL ROOM KEY]. Then you'll realize this is a trap. Don't worry, use the key you've just got to unlock the cage. Then go out. *The locked room : Use [HOSPITAL ROOM KEY] to unlock it. Then talk to Eileen. She'll go with Henry. Equip her with [Eileen's Bag] if you have got it. Once you obtain Eileen, the mad wheelchairs in the hallway will be no more. Instead, two Patients are waiting for you there. -----NOTES------------------------------------------------------------- ---- It seems that Eileen will follow you during the rest of the game. So try to "update" her weapons so that she can defend and help you better. But remember that she can also get damaged like you do. The more damage she gets, the more red marks appear on her body. I won't spoil so much, but it's better for you to protect her as much as you can, since the fact how much damage Eileen gets will affect the final battle which decides partly your ending. During the game, you should lower your speed (by walking more than running) so that Eileen can follow you. If you want to leave her alone in a certain place, just simply run as fast as you can to other room so that she won't be able to catch up with you. Then she'll stay there. But there will be some cases in which you can't leave her, which Henry will notice you when you have him enter a door. If you leave Eileen in an area that has enemies around, she can alone deal with them. But there are chances that she will get damaged. ------------------------------------END OF NOTES----------------------- ---- Kill the Patients. Then approach the elevator on the south. Press the button on the right to call it. Once you enter inside, you'll encounter another Patient. Kill him, then leave. That's all for 2nd floor. If you want to explore the remaining 20 rooms in this area, here they are (I repeat, this is RANDOM order) : OPTIONAL~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * Room 1 : There's some dried up flowers in the centre. Grab the [HOLY CANDLE] nearby. * Room 2 : This is a patient wing that has sticky floor. You can find [PISTOL BULLETS] here. * Room 3 : There are two monstrous Patients and a hanging human skin. * Room 4 : Another patient wing. You can find a [SAINT MEDALLION] here. * Room 5 : Just a monstrous Patient. * Room 6 : Another patient wing. There are [PISTOL BULLETS] near the bed. * Room 7 : This room has bloody floor. If you examine it BEFORE getting Eileen, here you'll find a "big version" of Eileen's face here : An injured face whose eyes keep glaring at Henry. If you examine this room AFTER getting Eileen, it will either still exist or even disappear (according to a bunch of different players). * Room 8 : nothing. * Room 9 : A room full of umbilical cords, but nothing major. * Room 10 : You see some X-ray images of Eileen's injury. * Room 11 : Nothing, but a joking Spike Ceiling. * Room 12 : A collapsed bed on which there's a [NUTRITION DRINK]. * Room 13 : nothing. * Room 14 : nothing. * Room 15 : A room with some smelly dead bodies. You can obtain a [4- IRON GOLF CLUB] on the floor. * Room 16 : This room has an iron net floor below which there are tons of bats. * Room 17 : A rainy room ?!! Nothing besides a bunch of Toadstools. * Room 18 : A dead body plus humid Toadstools. * Room 19 : A wheelchair and [REVOLVER BULLETS] behind the curtain. * Room 20 : A sterile room and a [NUTRITION DRINK] on the floor. END OF OPTIONAL~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Finally, are you finish ? Take Eileen with you and go down to 1st floor hall. There are about two Patients around. Get rid of them. You'll see that the elevator here has been available. But the next door is still locked and you can't proceed. Take Eileen to Washroom and have Henry get in the hole. ----------------------- ROOM 302 ----------------------- You may hear a sound of something breaking. It's time to equip the Saint Medallion. I'll explain later. Check the bottom of the entrance door for Joseph's Red Diary and a [SMALL KEY]. There are also three new files below the bookshelf. Take them all. You'll figure out that the ceiling fan has just broken down, as Henry can feel the heavy air around. Then save if you need. ***OPTIONAL BUT SHOULD BE READ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Before entering the hole in Laundry Room to go back to the Hospital, let me tell you about what is happening : Your room is going to be invaded by evil spirits soon and YOU CAN'T RECOVER YOUR HEALTH HERE ANYMORE. What you can do is to dispel them by using either the Saint Medallion or Holy Candles. It also means that you have to rely on healing items to survive the remaining chapters from now. That's why I told you to save them from the beginning. The sign of spirits coming to your room is the fearful noise and the screen turning red. If you want to clean ALL the spirits, you should wipe them as soon as they come when the above phenomena appear. The spirits can be either invisible or appear in front of you, leaving an infested areas. Here are how to wipe them : *Using Saint Medallions : Just equip it when you are in the room. When spirits come, you'll hear the noise, but the screen doesn't go red. Instead, the equipped medallion is sounding in your inventory. It means there are spirits around and your medallion is weakening it. You can keep using the Saint Medallions as much as you can until they are all broken. *Using Holy Candles : From this point to the end, you'll frequently be given these candles. When your room has demons coming, try to find the infested areas or where the demons come from, then move your view DOWN to the floor nearby and light the candle. Demons will be dispelled as the candle gradually runs out. You SHOULD STAND THERE WAITING UNTIL THE CANDLE COMPLETELY RUNS OUT. Then that demon fades away. If you go away when the Candle is still burning, there are chances that the evil forces haven't gone as you expected. In case you see the screen goes red and noises are sounded but don't see the demons or infested areas, equip the Saint Medallion instead. If you run out of Saint Medallions, your last choice is to burn the candle at any position on the floor. Most of the times it may also work. NOTES : You can use ONE Holy Candle for MULTIPLE demons that are invading your room at the same time. Now it's time to tell you about the [SHABBY DOLL] that you got from the man in coat in The Apartment World. If you didn't take the doll or if you don't put it in the storage box, there'll be nothing major. But if you place the doll in the storage box, there will be new demons appearing above the box : Crying Children, at a certain moment. They may appear once or twice. You can also clean them up by using Holy Candles. As I told you, some ghosts are invisible in the red screen and the fearful noise, some show exact phenomena. These are the ones that have exact actions that I spotted in my game. Just use the Holy Candles when the screen turns red then (Thanks to Roger Ocelot for a bunch of important phenomena) : - A ghost infesting the wall in the living room, above the peekhole to Eileen's room. Use the Holy Candle just under him. - A ghost infesting the wall above the bed in the bedroom. - The banging windows. You'll hear big rattles when you return to the bedroom from alternate worlds. Then going out to the living room, you'll see the windows slapping. If you approach them, you'll spot the demons nearby that cause the windows to bang. Just light a Holy Candle close to them to exorcise the demons. - The wall in the bedroom gets black infestation. Light the Candle under it. - A crying child's shadow in the wardrobe next to the bed in the bedroom. You'll hear his cry first. Move your view to the watdrobe to find the shadow, then use the Candle at him. - The crying children above the Storage Box (if the Shabby Doll is placed in it). Light the Candle under them, next to the Storage Box. - In the bedroom there's a photo of a church in Silent Hill. When Room 302 gets invaded, there will be a certain time when it turns into an image of Walter Sullivan. If the screen turns red, use a Holy Candle here. - In the bedroom, someone keeps saying through phone "I'm always watching you !". - The tap in the kitchen begins dripping blood. Another ghost needed to be exorcised is there. - The shoes of Henry, which are next to the door, take a walk to the kitchen, leaving blood where they stepped. Be careful ! - You may hear a cat's cry in a certain time. Well, that cat is in the refrigerator in the kitchen. - The sofa in the Living Room are soaked with blood or something like that. - The radio is turned on in the Living Room. - The TV is turned on, showing an image of Walter Sullivan. - The clock in the Living Room begins to run with a very high speed, as you can hear its strange noise. - The peekhole on the entrance door drips blood. If you look through it, you can see an image of blood-stained half-dead Henry. It can hurt you when you try to get notes under the entrance door. Finally, cleansing up demons in Room 302 is a task that affects your ending as well. The harder the difficulty you chose (Easy, Normal, Hard) is, the more possible ghosts/phenomena may show up. Refer to "Ending Information" section for more info about its effects toward the endings of the game. ***END OF OPTIONAL~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Now go back to Hospital world. ------------------------------- THE HOSPITAL - 1ST FLOOR ------------------------------- There's another conversation between Henry and Eileen, and she still follows you, okay ? Approach the elevator. Use the Small Key to unlock the door to a staircase. Wow, it's pretty tough here. Three Patients are coming, while you have to protect Eileen. There's a pretty easy method if you are good at fighting them : It will take them a long time to reach the top of the staircase where you are standing. So have Henry run fast to them and end them directly with a strong melee weapon before Eileen approaches. Don't forget to stamp them to make sure that they are really dead. If you can kill each of the Patient quickly enough, there will be no chance for Eileen to join in the mess so that she'll be safe. The Stun Gun may work well in this case. After that, enter the next door. ------------------------------- UNKNOWN SPIRAL STAIRCASE ------------------------------- From this chapter on you'll see this spiral staircase in every of the later chapters. There are many terrible things on the way and there's always a split staircase that takes you to the hole to Room 302. Get in it if you want to save and prepare items. Reach the end of the staircase and enter the door there. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXX PART 8 : THE SUBWAY WORLD - 2ND TIME Objective : Examine the room where Cynthia was murdered to find the key. Take Eileen with you and use it on the King Street Line train to open a new way. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXX ----------------------- THE SUBWAY ----------------------- You find yourself having just got out from a locked door in the hallway. Continue through the hall and pick the [HOLY CANDLE] at the left door. This door is locked, so unlock the right door to return to the familiar hallway. Dogs are no more here. Instead, MONKEYS !!! Try to kick them away, then continue your trip. Head to the Women's Toilet and use the hole here. Back to Room 302. ----------------------- ROOM 302 ----------------------- Here just use the Holy Candle you've got if there's any demon around. There are new things under the entrance door : the "Kid's Letter" and a [TOY KEY]. Then open the Storage Box to take the [LYNCH STREET LINE COINS] for a temporary use and a Sword of Obedience if you like. When you have finished, go back to The Subway through the Laundry Room hole. ----------------------- THE SUBWAY ----------------------- Leave the toilet. Make your way straight to the station (where there are the entrances and exits of and Lynch Street Line and King Street Line). A cutscene is triggered. And you encounter a long-haired female spirit - one of the most dangerous ghosts. She can attack you from distance with her evil long hair, and she has the ability to crawl on the floor, which the other ghosts don't have. This lady does not only threaten you here, but also will pursue you DURING ALL LATER CHAPTERS. So it's better for you to beat her down and "gift" her with the Sword of Obedience. Okay ? Before getting in the station, go straight forward to the forkroad where you saw the big "worm". Approach the stairs nearby for another [SILVER BULLET]. Use the Lynch Street Coins to enter Lynch Street Line. Go downstairs. When you reach the ground, run to the right room segment and kill the two dogs here. Grab the [NUTRITION DRINK] nearby. Then examine the corpses for [RIDING CROP] - a better weapon for Eileen. Then leave and go down the next stairs to the train station. Enter the trains and search for the red box. Use my maps to help your searching if you like. Then use the Toy Key to open it to get a [FILTHY COIN]. Here I show you the map of the trains again with a new item updated : *Symbols Explanation : + E : entrance/exit + X : the ways/doors you can go through + "===" or "___" : blocks (you can't pass) + B : the red box + C : the new [HOLY CANDLE] ___ ___ ___ | | | C | E X X___| 6 | | X E 1 | | |===| | | |B | |___|___|_X_| _X_|___|___ | | | | | X | | 5 | | | | 2 |===| | | where you start | X | | |___|___|_X_| _X_|___|___ | | | | | | X | 4 | X |===| 3 | | X E | | | | |___|___|___| |___|___|___| Now, there used to be a locked door in the end of Lynch Street Line pavement. If you are in Lynch Street and have unlocked it in the last trip here, so now enter it. Grab the [HOLY CANDLE] and go down the ladder to the hellish area (Eileen can't follow you, okay ?). Then climb up the opposite ladder to get to the room the has a hole which you should get in now. If you haven't unlocked that door yet, pass the trains to the other side, enter the room that has the hole and use it. But if you want to grab the Holy Candle, descend the ladder and get on the next one to reach the room. You're back to Room 302 again. ----------------------- ROOM 302 ----------------------- Equip a Saint Medallion or use the Holy Candle if there's something wrong. Reach the kitchen and wash the Filthy Coin in the sink to have the true [1$ COIN]. Keep it and return to the Subway. ----------------------- THE SUBWAY ----------------------- Now get back to the vending machine that has the strange symbol and use the coin on it to get [MURDER SCENE KEY]. Go up the blocked staircase for a [MEDICAL KIT]. As the key's name implies, you'll use it to unlock the room where Cynthia got killed. Go to the room that has the hole and climb down the ladder (yeah, only Henry). In the hellish area, take the other path and keep running straight to the door at the end. Be ware of the freaking ghosts around. Reach the going-up escalator and use it. The wall monsters will welcome you again. So be careful. In the next area, before going upstairs, search around for a dog and a [NUTRITION DRINK]. In the next place where you see Cynthia's dropped items, search for [CYNTHIA'S COMMUTER TICKETS]. With this item, you can either enter Lynch Street or King Street Line unlimited times. This helps you to take Eileen with you without passing the damn ladders. Now approach the left door and use the Murder Scene Key to unlock. Examine the mess for [TRAIN HANDLE]. Your next objective is to use the Train Handle on the train in King Street Line station which have the giant worm and the escalators. But before that, you must have Eileen with you. Use Cynthia's Commuter Ticket to get out of King Street Line. Again, use it to enter Lynch Street Line and reach the train station. Get into the red room to take Eileen with you. Then make your way back to the turnstile area. Insert the Commuter Ticket for King Street Line entrance and go downstairs. Then head for the escalator. It's tough now, since you not only deal with the wall monsters, but protect Eileen as well. The best way is that you must proceed further than her and kill the monsters quickly before she reaches you. It's not easy, I guess. It's a better idea to use gun if you are good enough. You'll be okay soon. Now get in the train of this place. Be careful with the ghosts if there's any of them around. Head to the driver's compartment (the first car) and use the Train Handle to open a new way. Go back and enter it. It's a staircase leading down to a door. On the right of the door, take the [SWORD OF OBEDIENCE] lying against the wall (Thanks to a member and reader whose email name is Kevin Ayton for reminding this Sword of Obedience). There'll be a cutscene and you'll find yourself chased by the man with coat. Just quickly enter the door that appears if you don't want to get troubles. **Just one more note : From now the man in coat will pursue you during the rest of the game. Always stay alert ! He's equipped with a handgun (mostly) and a melee weapon (pipe, chainsaw, or something like that). When you see him around, there are two choices : One is to run away to other places, since he just wanders in certain areas ; One is to fight him. Just damage him by whatever you have, and Eileen will help you if she's with you. Normally he doesn't attack Eileen, but if she beats him or passes by his attack, she still can get damaged. Once he gets enough hits, he'll fall down, staying unconscious. So you have time to examine the area and escape.** ------------------------------- UNKNOWN SPIRAL STAIRCASE ------------------------------- You'll enter this place again. It's the same as the previous one, but a little darker. Use the hole on the split staircase to go back to Room 302. Just do your usual tasks which this time are : Search for new files and dispel demons if there is. Then back to the staircase and proceed to the end. Enter the door. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXX PART 9 : THE FOREST WORLD - 2ND TIME Objective : Get the torch in the Cemetary and burn it up. Search for the body parts under the 5 dark wells and attach them to the destroyed doll in Wish House. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXX ------------------------- THE FOREST ------------------------- You find yourself in the Cemetary of The Forest World. Wow, Eileen can read the strange writings on the objects. So now if you want to read any strange texts in this forest, just take her with you and leave her standing at the object for a while, she'll read them for you. This is optional and I won't say much about this, okay ? Check one of the corners of the cemetary for a [TORCH]. Have Henry equip it. Then press the Action button to burn the torch. After that, exit this place. In the next area, I'm assure that you'll meet the man in coat and a bunch of enemies here. To beat him or not is your choice. In this Forest World, the man will appear in some certain dark tree areas. First, please run straight to the well here. As the burning torch lights the way, Henry will be able to find a [DOLL'S HEAD] in the well. Don't forget to grab the [NUTRITION DRINK] around. Get in the next door. There are some dogs here. Kill them and go straight to Wish House. Here you see the house has already burnt down. First, check around the remains for a [HOLY CANDLE] and some memos. Then approach the top to find a doll on wheelchair. Examine this doll, you'll receive a message telling you to find his five scaterred body parts around the forest. Well, have you known your objectives ? The 5 body parts are hidden in the 5 wells which you've been asked to notice in the last trip. Let me remind you : *Symbol explanations : + S : Holes to Room 302 + X : the positions of the wells X1 - [DOLL'S HEAD] X2 - [DOLL'S RIGHT LEG] X3 - [DOLL'S LEFT ARM] X4 - [DOLL'S RIGHT ARM] X5 - [DOLL'S LEFT LEG] + B : rare item - a [SILVER BULLET] + T : Torches with burning Holy Flame (where you can light your own torch) + P : [PICKAXE OF DESPAIR] + N : Nutrition Drinks ____ ___ _________| | | | ___| N | | N | ______ _____ T| | | | T | |____|_|S | | |---| ___| |----|----| |T | | S|NP | | | | X3| | | | X4 |___| X2|__S___| | | |____|------| | | | |___| | |___|Wish |---| |_____ __|House |___ | | | | | |______| | | | | |---| _______| | | | | | X1 N | | |---| |---|---| |__S____|__| | | B|T S| | | |---|___|_X5| | T| |___| The well where you got the [DOLL'S HEAD] was X1. Now attach the head to the doll. Get down the pile of remains and head to the toy basket on the east to search for [CHAINS] - a new weapon for Eileen. Make choice here : You can either leave Eileen here for convenience or take her with you on the trip to find the other 4 body parts. But I can't make sure that this Wish House area is as safe as it seems. And don't forget that the man in coat is still in charge and he can get you any time. First, make your way to the well of the northwest area on the map. If your torch has been lit, use it on the well to get [DOLL'S RIGHT LEG]. If not, keep going to the next area and then Toluca Lake. Some Double- heads have invaded the forest areas. In the cave just before the lake, there are [NUTRITION DRINK] and a [PICKAXE OF DESPAIR] on the ground. When you reach the lake, grab [REVOLVER BULLETS] on Henry's right. Then go south and have a talk with the kid. After the cutscene, examine the goddess' statue nearby for [CRESTED MEDALLION]. Then use the burning torch here to light your torch. Make your way back to grab the Doll's Right Leg (if you haven't got it) from the well and then attach it to the doll at Wish House. **You can make the fire last longer on your torch by returning to Room 302. Enter the Laundry Room and examine the oil tank on the floor. Soak up the torch with oil.** The next area should be the south-east area. There may be double-head freaks and some other spirits around. Don't forget to obtain the [SILVER BULLET] that is a very rare and powerful item (See my map). Then go to the end of this room. Light up your torch and examine the well for [DOLL'S LEFT LEG]. As usual, return this part to the doll in Wish House and head for the remaining two. From Wish House, it's time to enter the north-east area. The first place has a double-head. The second place has a well which has [DOLL'S LEFT ARM] if you have had your torch lit. If not, go to the third place for a Holy Flame torch. But before that, you'll encounter a burning spirit in this place. I think you should try to dodge him and save your Sword of Obediences. But if you have got three of them until now, feel free to use it on him. There's a [NUTRITION DRINK] by the fence behind a big rock. After that, head to fourth place which just has enemies and enemies. In the fifth area, well, search the bottom ground for a [NUTRITION DRINK]. There may be ghosts encountering you here. Run to the next room and there's a Holy Flame. Light your torch if it has run out, then continue. You'll be rewarded with a [HOLY CANDLE], [NUTRITION DRINK] and finally, the well in the last place gives you the [DOLL'S RIGHT ARM]. Just be ware of some Mr. Monkey around. Now take these final body parts to the doll in Wish House. He will move aside, leaving a secret hideout. Get in it. This room looks familiar, right ? On the altar there is the "Descent of the Holy Mother -- 21 Sacraments" memo for you to grab. Then examine the right exit door and insert the Crest Medallion to enter it. Phew, it's over for this world now. ------------------------------- UNKNOWN SPIRAL STAIRCASE ------------------------------- As usual, take Eileen down the long staircase and enter the door at the end. Use the hole to Room 302 if you need and don't forget to do your usual tasks : get rid of demons and check for new memos. In the next area, proceed to the elevator to be taken down to... XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXX PART 10 : THE WATER PRISON WORLD - 2ND TIME Objective : Enter the death chamber to find a hint. Follow it to reach the destination. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXX --------------------------- THE WATER PRISON --------------------------- ...yeah, the sweet prison home ! You start in the terrace of the tower. Just leave the elevator, you'll soon meet your old close friend : the man in coat. Defeat him or run through the double doors. Well, the spiral staircase ! As Eileen is with you, you can't leave her here by using the ladders, cuz there are 90% that the man in coat will chase you here again, no matter if you have beaten him or not in the terrace. And there are 70% that he sticks around here during the Water Prison chapter. So defeat him now if you like, and be ware of the bats too. Enter the 3rd floor double-door. Two or three double-head monsters are staying in the circular hallway. So kill them all before you have the right to walk freely. Explore all the cells for stuffs : Cell 1 : There's a hole and bloody bed (which you have settled before). Cell 2 : There's a [HOLY CANDLE] Cell 3 : Humid Toadstools. Cell 4 : Just a hole and nothing else. Cell 5 : Wall monsters and a [NUTRITION DRINK]. Cell 6 : Geez, [PISTOL BULLETS] Cell 7 : Tons of useless books. Cell 8 : Nothing. Remember the secret way to the kitchen that you have made before ? It's the 1st cell. Enter it and jump down (Eileen will be safe here (^_^)). Keep jumping down to 2nd, 1st floor, then the basement kitchen. Enter the room where you found Andrew DeSalvo's body. Now there's a [BLOODY SHIRT] instead. Take it. Then back to the kitchen. In the Dining Hall there are a [NUTRITION DRINK] and a [SAINT MEDALLION]. Enter the door to the hall with a ladder. Next, enter the next double- door for the Shower Room. Grab the [PISTOL BULLETS]. Use the ladder to go up to 3rd floor and find the [NIGHTSTICK] for Eileen. Then climb down all the way to the basement. Get in the south double-door to the spiral staircase. Run up to the door with the hole to Room 302. Enter it to return to your room. ---------------------- ROOM 302 ---------------------- Leave the bedroom and get in the Bathroom. Examine the blood-sprayed bathtub and soak the Bloody Shirt to see its writings. Go through the hole in the Laundry Room to get back. --------------------------- THE WATER PRISON --------------------------- If you like to explore 2F cell area. Read the below passages. Here take the door to outside. Use the two left ladders to reach 2F cell area. There may be two double-head monsters and some slugs. Then enjoy yourself in the cells : Cell 1 : locked. Cell 2 : locked. Cell 3 : locked. Cell 4 : There are [PISTOL BULLETS], a diary and... monsters. Cell 5 : Examine the room to find another [SWORD OF OBEDIENCE]. Don't place it in the storage box, cuz you'll use it soon. Cell 6 : locked. Cell 7 : locked. Cell 8 : Prepare for the double-head here, then examine the floor for a [HOLY CANDLE]. Then make your way back to 1st floor. Enter the other door for 1F cell area. Cell 1 : locked. Cell 2 : Nothing. Cell 3 : locked. Cell 4 : Just some [PISTOL BULLETS]. Cell 5 : Look for a [NUTRITION DRINK] here. Cell 6 : locked. Cell 7 : There's a [HOLY CANDLE]. Cell 8 : Nothing. After all the free trip, now remember what you have read from the bloody shirt. Make sure you have a Sword of Obedience. I suggest using firearms (Pistol or Revolver) in this battle. Leave the cell area and get in the right door. There'll be a cutscene showing your new enemy : ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~ MINI-BOSS FIGHT : ANDREW DESALVO ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Difficulty : Medium Strategy : First, have Henry walk along the spiral staircase. There will be tons of humid Whitestools on the way, so strike them. When you see the screen goes fizzy, it's the ghost approaching you. He spends most time floating around more than fighting you. So when he's on screen, take up your gun and give him some bullets. Keep shooting until he floats out of screen and disappears. Then just have Henry walk around waiting for him. Repeat the attacks. The ghost really attacks you when you see he bends down into a ball. If you don't interfere soon, the "ball" will spin to you in great speed, stealing a deal of your lifebar. So when he is seen to spin, quickly hurt him so that he will stop spinning and return to normal, then float away. Repeat the strategy until he falls down, lying on the ground. This time, QUICKLY approach him and use the Sword Of Obedience as soon as possible. Otherwise, he'll get up and you must redo everything, cuz he's a spirit. Just nail him like you did with any normal ghost, okay ? When you succeed, he'll drop the [WATER PRISON GENERATOR ROOM KEY] for you to get. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~ Well, know what to do ? Get back all the way to 3rd floor to take Miss Galvin. Then again, go all the way down to this staircase. Sorry, you can't use the ladders anymore, so be more patient and deal with the brats around. Reach the staircase where you fought the fat ghost. Then go a long way to reach the final door at the end (I assure that the Whitestools will grow again here). Enter the door. It's the waterwheel room. Now use your new key to unlock the other door. Don't forget to grab the [MEDICAL KIT] near the hole. Get in the new area. You're close to the end now. But... do you see something far away ?... Aaaaaahhhhhhh !!! A bunch of double-heads. More correctly, there are six of them waiting for you. I'm afraid that you'll have to deal with them all, unless you are good enough to dodge, suffer damage along with your clumsy partner and reach the door at the end to escape. Okay, I suggest using guns or the Stun Gun here. And if it's so tough, reload the Silver Bullet. If you have equipped Eileen with the latest weapon, she will be a pretty good fighter, but you'd rather save her than let her solve things by herself. After finishing, get in the next door to end the nightmare here. ------------------------------- UNKNOWN SPIRAL STAIRCASE ------------------------------- Well, do I have to tell you again ? Use the hole here and don't forget to "clean" Room 302 frequently. I recommend you to rearrange things in your inventory now, since the next chapter will begin with a mini-boss battle. Bring your most favourite weapon, but I suggest guns for this boss too. If you still have a Sword of Obedience left, you should have it in your inventory now. Reach the door at the end of staircase to continue to the following world. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXX PART 11 : THE BUILDING WORLD - 2ND TIME Objective : Grab the "Reminisces" memo in the beginning area. Do all the requests in this memo to reach the destination with Eileen Galvin. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXX *******NOTES*********************************************************** **** What I'm writing soon is the official walkthrough of this part, showing you how to end this chapter following the right order. But if you want to complete it faster without solving any puzzles but still can bring Eileen with you. If you want, ignore the below passage and check it out AT THE END of this part. *****************************************END OF NOTES********************** --------------------------- THE BUILDING --------------------------- Hey, someone welcomes you. Is that fun ? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~ MINI-BOSS FIGHT : RICHARD BRAINTREE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Difficulty : Fairly Hard Strategy : This guy gets in charge soon after the cutscene, and will strike you with the club on his hand. If you feel you are good enough, beat him with a melee weapon. But he can become really dangerous with teleporting. Henry is slow compared to him and he often fades away when you damage him, then re-appears at your back. That's why I suggested using guns, cuz you'll be able to attack as well as rotate faster than melee weapon. Just knock him down. This is one of the dangerous ghosts who will encounter you during the rest of the game, along with the long- haired lady and Andrew DeSalvo, so I recommend a Sword of Obedience on him. Besides, once you wipe him here, this will become a safe place for Eileen while you explore the area. Isn't it better than taking her along ? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~ After the battle, search around for an important scrapbook (The "Reminisces"). There's a hole nearby and you can use if you like. If you have nailed the ghost, leave Eileen here and run to the elevator. In the elevator, choose the Top button to get on the top floor - where you have explored in the first trip. First, take the long alley path for three monkey freaks and at the end, the [REVOLVER BULLETS]. Then go back and take the other door. There are two dogs. Just wipe them. You've got used to them too much now, right ? Take the [NUTRITION DRINK] by the broken door. Go up all the stairs to Albert's Sports Shop. There's a new weapon [3-WOOD]. Examine the basket of volley balls if you like. Then examine the bar for [CAKE CANDLES]. Exit through the door near the hole. In the collapsed area, grab the [HOLY CANDLE]. Leave this place through the other door. Pass the empty alley and then go all the way upstairs until you reach a dormitory where you first saw a ghost nailed by the Sword of Obedience (Well, if you did take out the sword last time, you'll meet that "baby" who still wanders around here and is haunting you now). In this room there's a table on which lies a cake. Place the Cake Candles on the cake. Get the [STUFFED CAT] nearby and leave this room through the other door (the entrance). Get rid of the dogs, then go upstairs. Some other dogs need to be dealt with. Examine around the fan thingies for a [NUTRITION DRINK]. Then go up the next staircase. The next floor has a car in which you can find [REVOLVER BULLETS], a [HOLY CANDLE] is on the floor. Finally, the place beyond is a long alley with two dogs, a [DRIVER] (new weapon) and a hole at the end. That's all. It was a long way, right ? Sorry to tell you : Make your way back to the Sports Shop now. From here take the door that leads you to Pet Store via a staircase area. When you reach the store, your task is to find an empty cage to put the Stuffed Cat in. It's on the cashier bar. But before that, do your best to dodge the undead spirits here. If you have nailed the long-haired woman's ghost in Subway, she won't be here and there are only two who are not very cunning. But if not, she'll be the one whom you must notice first along with her two "companions". After putting the Stuffed Cat, head to the next door. It's another staircase. Thanks to Reneisdead for this tiny event : There are newspapers lying at the door you have just got in. They are about one Walter's victims whom you don't see in this game. Try examining it, then you'll hear some gunshots (just a joke). Go downstairs and enter the way here. Hey, what the hell is going on ?!! Nothing, just an upside-down room. The bats will welcome you first, so be careful. I know it's hard for you, but please try proceed a "few" steps for [PISTOL BULLETS]. You don't need to search around too far, since the next door has been locked with a dead clock. If you have got the "Reminisces" memo but haven't checked it carefully, read it now. You'll understand what is going on. Go back to the Sports Shop, then return to the elevator. This time press the Bottom button to get down. The area outside has [PISTOL BULLETS] by the fence and a [HOLY CANDLE] at the opposite corner for you to get. Then go in again and climb down the ladder. Here is the underground Shower Room. The opposite ladder just leads you to nowhere, so just search around room. Get into the path and kick away all the "obstacles". Then collect the [BILLIARD BALL] on the floor. Then climb up the third ladder. You are in a familiar alley. The opposite door is locked from the other side. Besides, all the other doors are broken. Remember it if you can. Then go along, getting rid of the bats. When you reach a window booths, a cutscene is triggered. After that, take the [MEDICAL KIT] next to the fence. Then keep going to the next area. Here you must obtain a [VOLLEY BALL] among the boxes, then a [SAINT MEDALLION] by the capsule in front of the door. Enter the door. Go downstairs. Don't mind going to the portion of the room : there's nothing to get but mad wheelchairs. Get in the door down here. In the next room, before running downstairs, run to the left end for a [HOLY CANDLE]. Get down to the ground. The first two doors are cracked. So enter the remaining one. This is the familiar bar. Check the "Later Bartender's Memo", you'll know that the code for the next door has been changed. It's still the last 4 digits of their phone number written on the sign, but the sign hasn't been changed yet. Before solving this, place the [BILLIARD BALL] on the billiard pool. Then enter the hole to go back to your room. --------------------------- ROOM 302 --------------------------- Do your usual tasks first : check for new scraps and get rid of demons if they come. Then go back to the bedroom. If you don't remember the old phone number of the restaurant, just look through the window (In my game it is always 555-3750). Then use the telephone : input the number to call them. You'll receive a message saying that this number is not available anymore. Instead, they'll read the new number for you. Write down or memorize it. Then enter the Laundry Room and go back to the bar. --------------------------- THE BUILDING --------------------------- Just access the new code to the panel. The door will be unlocked, but don't enter it now, since you still have to take Eileen, right ? Make all the way back to the elevator. Then go to the place where Eileen stayed and take her with you. Choose the Top button to go up. Go all the ways to Albert's Sports Shop. Remember to place the Volley Ball into the basket. You'll hear a sound informing your completion. After that, enter the Pet Store and head straight to the upside-down room. It's no longer upside-down and the clock has worked again. Enter the door that has the clock. You'll come to a new path, which is ruled by four monkeys and a dog. It's very tough now, so be careful. Use the gun if it turns to be so dangerous. If you kill all the monkeys, you can obtain their weapons. All doors here are broken, except the last one. Get in it. You have returned to the alley where you saw the cutscene between the man in coat and the kid. Get in the door just next to the ladder. I think you remember the way, right ? Some new monsters may have invaded the remaining areas, so watch out. The bar also has a new monkey. Head back there and kill him. Now enter the code door to the last area. Last time you went up here, right ? Now the going-up way has been blocked. Instead, go all the way down to the bottom. It's pretty long, and look out for the random spirits. Waiting for you at the bottom is a door. You think that you have come to the end of this chapter, don't you ? Sorry, it's not over yet. What behind the door is... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~ MINI-BOSS FIGHT : GRAND WALL MONSTERS (THE DUMMY) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Difficulty : Fairly Hard Strategy : This battle won't be so tough if you have carried at least a healing item, and if-you-don't-mind-about-your-partner's-damage. Things will go wrong if you try to protect her so much. Several grand monsters periodically drop down in groups to hurt you. What should we do ? Kill each of them. No ! That's just silly. It's better to have a gun. But if you don't have, melee weapon is still alright. They are crowded, but all of them live dependently on an elite monster (The DUMMY). If you find and damage this dummy, the others will get hurt simultaneously. What you have to do is to try to approach EACH OF THEM and give them some hits. If the monster gets hurt and the others who don't receive damage get hurt too, it's the Dummy and then just keep on hitting it until it dies. And the battle will be ended quickly. The difficult here is just to dodge their attacks and try each one until the right one appears. If you have some healing items carried, things won't be so hard. And your partner can give you a hand, too. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~ Now it's really the end. Enter the next door. ------------------------------- UNKNOWN SPIRAL STAIRCASE ------------------------------- Geez, just the same staircase as usual. But it's dark and fearful now. Go all the way down to the bottom. It's not only a single door, but the collapsed version of your apartment as well. Take "Superintendent's Diary" on the floor. Then enter that door to another version of Room 302. ***** QUICK WALKTHROUGH TO COMPLETE "THE BUILDING WORLD - 2ND TIME" ******* With this walkthrough, you can take Eileen alongside with you without solving the stupid "Reminisces" puzzle. Let's begin from the start of the chapter. This is submitted by Merciless101 and has been fixed and rearranged. I have tested it and it does work. Another note here is that once you take this walkthrough, you have to accept abandoning some items in the places where you won't have to come, okay ? Here it is : 1. In the beginning, read the "Reminiscese" scrap on the floor. You can fight Richard Braintree if you like. If you want to beat the game under 2:00 to get 10 big stars, you can ignore him. Enter the elevator with Eileen. 2. Inside the elevator, choose the Bottom button. 3. Leave through the door. 4. Grab [PISTOL BULLETS] near the fence. Then get the [HOLY CANDLE] at the opposite farther corner. This is where you leave Eileen. Place her at the farthest corner, then run FAST to the elevator and enter it. It may take you a few times to succeed this. Just try again until Henry appears ALONE inside the elevator. 5. Go down the opposite ladder. You'll be back in the underground sewer. 6. Kill the Whitestools and go up the ladder at their place. IGNORE THE [BILLIARD BALL]. 7. Go along the path and skip the cutscene. 8. Take the [MEDICAL KIT] that is by the fence and just continue along the path. 9. When you've come to the next area, you'll hear some footsteps. IT'S EILEEN. Wait for her, she'll be able to join you. 10. Enter the door nearby. IGNORE THE [VOLLEY BALL]. 11. Go down the stairs, ignoring the Wheelchairs. Enter the door at the end. 12. Before going down the stairs, run to the left end for another [HOLY CANDLE]. Then run down and get in the third door which is the only available one. 13. Read the "Later Bartenter's Memo" and head for the door and just do whatever I showed you in the official walkthrough. The code is always 4890. 14. Input 4890 at the panel and enter the door. 15. Go down all the way. Kill the bats that come in your way. 16. Enter the door at the end and fight The Dummy. 17. Enter the next door and go along the unknown spiral staircase. And of course, this quick walkthrough can be done in any difficulty. *********************************************************************** **** XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXX PART 12 : ROOM 302 OF THE PAST Objective : Take all the memos scattering around the room. Trigger Joseph Schreiber who will give you the next hints. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXX ------------------------------- ROOM 302 OF THE PAST ------------------------------- Here you'll find ALL the remaining volumes of Joseph's Red Diary and some other files, too, in the living room and in the bedroom, showing the final days of his life. The Bathroom has a hole for you to return to your true Room 302. The Laundry Room has been broken. When you have finished and obtained all the memos, go back to the living room and you'll meet him : Joseph Schreiber. Talk to him and listen carefully to what he says. After the cutscene, go to the end of the path between the bedroom and the bathroom to grab the [PICKAXE OF HOPE]. Get through the hole in the bathroom to return to the present. ------------------------------- "NORMAL" ROOM 302 ------------------------------- Use the Holy Candle to exorcise demons if they come. Then go out. Approach the wall where you got the Pickaxe of Hope in the past room. Use it here, Henry will be able to open a secret hideout behind the room which he has never noticed. Examine the body. Just say "Yes" until Henry manages to take the [KEYS OF LIBERATION], used to unchain the entrance door. Then leave the hideout. Well, is it over ? Sorry, not yet. After unchaining the door, you'll know what I mean. Let's go to the semi-final walkthrough part below... XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXX PART 13 : OUTSIDE OF ROOM 302 Objective : It'll be over soon. Reach the superintendent's room (Room 105) to take the [UMBILICAL CORD]. When the bell tolls, return to the secret hideout of Room 302 for the battle of destiny. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXX ------------------------------- THE APARTMENT ------------------------------- Try on, this is your final chapter in the game. This time the apartment has got blocked at several positions, so it'll take you a long time to reach the "flesh" - Superintendent's Room aka Room 105. The first block is between your room and Eileen's, that you see first. There will be tons of them scattering later. And whenever you want to save, you must go the long way back to Room 302 to touch the only Save Point. That sucks. First, take Eileen with you and enter Room 301. *Room 301 : There are two cloaked double-heads and a naked double- head downstairs (Room 201). So watch out. Go to the small path and search around the cage for another [SAINT MEDALLION]. Then go downstairs. *Room 201 : Grab the [NUTRITION DRINK] nearby. Then go out for 2F hallway. The man in coat surely appears around this time, so quickly take Eileen to the next destination : Room 202. The other rooms have been separated, you see. *Room 202 : There's a hole next to the paintings. Find the [SWORD OF OBEDIENCE] in a segmented room. Then enter the hole. *Room 203 : If you haven't got the [BUG SPRAY], it's still here in the mess, in case you want to have it. If you haven't nailed the long- haired female ghost, she may show up here. If so, it's time to use the last Sword of Obedience you've just got to fix her here forever. Reach the segmented room and enter the hole nearby. *Room 204 : There's a [NUTRITION DRINK]. Exit through the entrance door. Make your way out to the hall. Oh hoh ! A bunch of "big" Patients. Pretty tough now. Just try to strike them as much as you can and stamp them soon before you are annoyed by the others. Eileen will help you damage the others. Your next destination is remaining rooms on 2nd floor, since the way down the 1F has been blocked. But if you need Revolver Bullets, get on 3rd floor and enter Eileen's room. *Room 303 : Search around for [REVOLVER BULLETS]. You'll have to deal with a Patient here. That's all. Enter the other hallway of 2F. Get in the rooms here. *Room 205 : Reach the bedroom for [NUTRITION DRINK]. Then leave. *Room 206 : Guess who welcomes you ? It's the man in coat. From now on, he will stay here til the end. Whenever you want to save, you must pass this place and meet him. In the bedroom there's a [HOLY CANDLE]. Enter the hole in this room. *Room 207 : Grab the [PISTOL BULLETS]. Then exit through the other door. Well, one of two double-head monsters will visit you. Go downstairs to 1st floor. Then explore all the rooms here : *Room 107 : There's a [NUTRITION DRINK] to grab. *Room 106 : There are a [HOLY CANDLE], an [AMPOULE] and a [MEDICAL KIT]. *Room 105 : Your destination here. But sorry again. Konami won't let you enter it that soon. There are six chains locking this door. Leave it now and enter the double door to 1F Hall. Read the sketchbook in the centre of the hall. Then go to the other hallway. The first thing you see is the ghost of a hanged figure. Approach it and press the Action button to trigger a conversation. It's the key to unlock Room 105 : The triggered talk has unlocked one of the chains, which means you must obtain 6 of them to unlock the door completely. Now go to the end of the hallway. It's there again, so trigger another line. Two chains have been unlocked. Now enter the rooms here. *Room 104 : Grab the [MEDICAL KIT] in the covered area. There may be two wall monsters falling down to joke you. Ending them or not is your choice. Go to the small path and enter one of the cage that has the hanged figure. Trigger the conversation. Three chains have been opened now. *Room 103 : Kill all the double-heads here. Take the [NUTRITION DRINK] here. Then trigger the hanged figure just right at the freaks. Four chains now. *Room 102 : Another [NUTRITION DRINK] for you. The hanged figure is around here, too. Five chained unlocked. *Room 101 : Here's for the last chain : the hanged freak stays in one of the cages. Check around for [PISTOL BULLETS], too. Six chains have been solved. Know where to go now ? Room 105. BUT... before that, you have to encounter a cutscene in 1F Hall. After the cutscene, I suggest some task : ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~ TRICK TO HEAL EILEEN ! Doing this or not is up to you, cuz she will leave Henry soon. This trick works for me and some other players. Push Eileen to the centre of the hall. Then light a Holy Candle close to her. Try to push her to the candle. As the candle is fading, you'll see Eileen's red marks gradually disappear. When she recovers enough, DO NOT wait until the Holy Candle completely fades. Just run to Room 105 soon. As the cutscene takes place when her red marks are gone, she'll be kept healthy for the final battle. In case if you wait til the candle is put off, the blood marks may re- appear and Eileen returns to her original status. You can see more details about this trick in "Secrets" section. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~ Get in Room 105 to see a cutscene. Henry will take the [UMBILICAL CORD]. After the cutscene, leave this room. You'll hear the bell toll, it's time to go back to Room 302. Well, things are a little different. Some of the rooms and all the hallways have been ruled by coming monsters, especially double-heads. Room 206 has no more man in coat, but dogs instead. Room 207 has wall monsters. Even the hallway of your room has been invaded, too. When you are in Room 302, read the next part. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXX PART 14 : FINAL BATTLE Objective : Follow the guidance in the "Crimson Tome". Defeat Walter Sullivan before Eileen Galvin is sacrificed, or you'll get the worst fate ever. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXX ---------------------------------------- PREPARATION FOR FINAL BATTLE ---------------------------------------- First, read the "Crimson Tome" to know some facts. The most important thing you must have is the UMBILICAL CORD. Then in the battle you'll have to touch something like the eight spears, which means you should leave some spaces in the inventory to carry the spears as fast as possible. I suggest you two choices : *Leave AT LEAST 7 spaces in the inventory : .............................................. So these are the three items I suggest you should carry : Your favourite UNBREAKABLE melee weapon, a healing item (Ampoule), the Umbilical Cord (OBLIGED). So after using the cord, you'll have totally 8 spaces so that you can carry the spears in only one turn. This will make the battle go faster, that can affect the ending. But warning : You MUST BE EXTREMELY GOOD AT FIGHTING IF YOU CHOOSE THIS PREPARATION. One healing item for such a battle is truly desperate even in Easy mode, ya know. *Leave AT LEAST 3 spaces in the inventory : .............................................. Except the Umbilical Cord which is OBLIGED, I let you decide your 6 carried items. This choice gives you chance to use gun. If you still have some Silver Bullets left, you can load it now. Anyway, it's always good to have at least an unbreakable melee weapon along. Finally, bring at least two healing items, which should be either Ampoules or Medical Kits. With this inventory, after using the Umbilical Cord, you'll have 4 spaces so that you can grab the spears within two turns. If you choose melee weapon, I suggest not using the clubs, since all of them can possibly break on the way. Here are my comments about the unbreakable ones you can use : + Spade : This weapon not only has pretty strong power but moderate speed as well. This is the best choice if you have got used to it. + Pickaxe of Despair : This may be the strongest weapon of all. But its speed is awful. You must exactly master using this weapon if you still want to have it for the final battle. If not, I'm afraid you can get hurt before Henry manages to strike down the pickaxe on Walter. + Chainsaw (Brand New Fear game): I'm not sure of its power compared to Spade and Pickaxe of Despair, but can be considered one of the strongest. But it's pretty slow and not very convenient for Henry to handle it in such a fight. + Rusty Axe : Like the Spade, this weapon is a good choice since it has all acceptable power, range and speed. + Aluminum Bat : Well, I chose this one in my first time playing through and was able to save Eileen just in time (Easy mode) cuz I had forgotten to get the Spade and Pickaxe of Despair. It's faster than the above two, but has weaker power. With this weapon equipped, do your best to strike as much as you can. + Steel Pipe : Its advantages are justified range and that it's unbreakable. But I advise you not to take this because of its awfully bad power. Those are just my suggestions. You can decide whatever items to carry and how many spaces to leave. It's your choice. Use the Nutrition Drinks to heal Henry fully. Then save. Finally, get in Walter's secret hideout. You'll see that his body has gone. Enter the hole. An empty red dimension ? Yeah, but this is your last time to reselect the weapon you are equipped. Make choice now. When you have been ready, enter the next hole. If you are a newbie, you should watch the cutscene carefully to notice these objects : a giant monster (The Conjurer ?), the eight bodies around the battlefield impaled by the eight spears, Eileen Galvin and the strange ball that she is reaching. After that, the true battle begins : ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~ FINAL BATTLE : WALTER SULLIVAN ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Difficulty : Hard Strategy : In the beginning of the fight, Walter is invincible so you can't hurt him. Quickly use the UMBILICAL CORD on the giant monster. Walter will be downed for a while, but not vulnerable yet. There'll be a period camera angle showing Eileen's process to reach the magical ball within the battle. If you can end this battle quickly BEFORE SHE TOUCHES THE BALL, Eileen will be saved and the ending will be better. One more "fun" fact : The lesser damage she got from the main game, the slower she walks now. That's why I kept telling you to save her and even suggested you heal her, unless you want to see how the bad endings are. Now it's time to grab all the spears on the eight bodies. Four of them are on the left side, other four are on the right. Try to fill up your inventory with the spears, then approach the giant monster and pierce him with all of them. The more empty spaces you have in your inventory, the less turns it takes you to take out the spears and impale the monster. When all spears have been settled, the monster will be hurt heavily and Walter becomes mortal. It's time to defeat the main boss now. As usual, he is equipped with a melee weapon and a gun, which means he can hurt you at both close and far distance. Give him the Silver Bullet first if you have. Then take up your favourite weapon and end him gradually. Walter grows dangerous with his spinning attack, which not only takes out a great deal of your lifebar, but throws you away and wastes your time approaching him again as well. He plays that attack when getting enough continuous damage from you. Try to keep this up and beat him as quickly as you can. Using firearms is better for Walter, in the situation you are required to end the battle fast. Firearms not only help you attack Walter from distance, but also don't waste your time approaching him like melee weapons. You can really use Richard's Revolvers with about totally 24 bullets to defeat Walter if you are playing in Easy or Normal mode (submitted by badtaiwanese69). But don't forget that firearms are not very powerful, okay ? Just switch to the melee weapon when you run out of ammunitions. Keep this up till it's over. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~ If you have defeated Walter, so CONGRATULATIONS ! No matter which ending you get, just sit back and watch it. ======================================================================= ==== [][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][ ][][ [] [] [] SECTION VII : ENDING INFORMATION (CONTAINS SPOILERS) [] [] [] [][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][ ][][ ======================================================================= ==== There are two main elements that decide the ending of "Silent Hill 4 : The Room" : - The status of Room 302 - Eileen's ending after the final battle ("dead or alive"). You'll get one of these 4 endings : ============================================== THE WORST ENDING : "21 SACRAMENTS" ============================================== - Requirements : + Room 302 is not clean of demons. + Eileen is not saved in final battle. - Description : As Room 302 has been fully invaded and Eileen Galvin has been sacrificed to succeed the Descent of Holy Mother, or the Descent of the Devil, Walter Sullivan is finally the winner at all cost. Henry gets the heaviest headache he has ever suffered, getting possessed gradually. He has become the 21st Sacrament as Walter wanted. Young Walter finally managed to get in the cursed Room 302 - his "mother", whom he has always been waiting for. "I won't let anyone get in my way... I'm gonna stay with you, forever..." - he says in satisfaction. The following moment, the news said that the police had found five dead bodies killed by the same way, and a sixth body who was identified as Miss Eileen Galvin, who was rushed to St. Jerome Hospital and died short after that. One of the dead bodies, who was male and disfigured, was discovered in Room 302 of the same apartment... ============================================== THE BAD ENDING : "EILEEN'S DEATH" ============================================== - Requirements : + Room 302 is completely clean of demons. + Eileen is not saved in final battle. - Description : Walter falls down, breathing his last breath. "Mom..." - that is his last word. Before that, the curse ruling Room 302 had been completely exorcised. As mature Walter was defeated, Young Walter , who was knocking at the door, falls down and disappears... Henry found himself get up safely in his true bedroom. Finally he was the only one alive. Then he goes outside. The newscaster reports about five dead bodies discovered scattering in South Ashfield Heights, one of them was identified to be Eileen Galvin. She had been transported to St. Jerome Hospital in dangerous status, and died short after that. Henry falls down on the floor... "Eileen..." - he mourns. ============================================== THE GOOD ENDING : "MOTHER" ============================================== - Requirements : + Room 302 is not clean of demons. + Eileen is saved in final battle. - Description : Walter falls down, breathing his last breath. "Mom..." - that is his last word. Everything was getting in chaos. Eileen was saved from being sacrificed as the Descent of the Holy Mother. "Eileen !" - Henry calls out. Young Walter, who was knocking at Room 302, falls down and disappears, as the failure of the sacrament... Henry, walking out slowly, holding onto his arm, takes a look back at South Ashfield Heights apartment... The day after, Henry visits Eileen, who has recovered in the hospital, with a bouquet. "Well, I guess I can go back to South Ashfield Heights now." - says Eileen. In another cutscene, Room 302 is shown fully invaded by demons. **Comments** As this is just the alright ending, I guess it's incomplete. Eileen says that she will come back to the apartment room maybe because she hasn't known the damns invading her neighbour's - Room 302. The scene gets switched just after Eileen's line and we don't know Henry's reaction then. There's also an unknown information which I'm not sure of. It said that in this ending, Eileen gets pregnant with Walter's new life after the event. If this is true, it may explain the incompletion of "Mother" ending that I said above. Walter himself may have been defeated by Henry, but he has been able to possess Room 302. And since Eileen was chosen as the "Mother Reborn" (Read my analysis in "Miscellany" section - "Interesting/ Plot Facts in SH4"), Walter reincarnated as a child of Eileen as he used to wish. This case is possible, just like Alessa Gillespie has reincarnated into Heather Mason in Silent Hill 1 and 3. ============================================== THE BEST ENDING : "ESCAPE" ============================================== - Requirements : + Room 302 is completely clean of demons. + Eileen is saved in final battle. - Description : Walter falls down, breathing his last breath. "Mom..." - that is his last word. Everything was getting in chaos. Eileen was saved from being sacrificed as the Descent of the Holy Mother. "Eileen !" - Henry calls out. Young Walter, who was knocking at Room 302, falls down and disappears, as the failure of the sacraments... Henry, walking out slowly, holding onto his arm, takes a look back at South Ashfield Heights apartment... The day after, Henry visits Eileen, who has recovered in the hospital, with a bouquet. "Guess I'll have to find a new place to live, huh ?" - says Eileen with a bright smile. Henry nods in satisfaction. Those are the endings I know. I hear several rumours about more endings or some kind of UFO ending. But they haven't been confirmed yet. I'll update this guide if there's any major changes, especially in the NA and EU version. ======================================================================= ==== [][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][ ][][ [] [] [] SECTION VIII : SECRETS [] [] [] [][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][ ][][ ======================================================================= ==== ---------------------------------- HENRY'S FUNNY ANIMATION ---------------------------------- In Third Person view, leave Henry stand without pressing any buttons on the control pad for a pretty long moment. See what he does then. Besides, if you equip Henry with a Chainsaw, he will have a different funny animation. (Thanks to Markscrider for this info on his website). ---------------------------- THE TELEPHONE... ---------------------------- Thanks to a lot of readers for having reminded me of this little secret. When you look over the window, you'll see a sign with a telephone number that will be used in The Building World. But now try accessing that number in your telephone when it's not needed. You'll hear something fun. --------------------------- JUST A JOKE ! --------------------------- Thanks to many readers for having informed me about this. During the Building World, have Henry look through the window for a long while. Expect what you see then... ------------------------------------------- THE SHABBY DOLL (ABOUT ITS FUNCTION) ------------------------------------------- I have placed separated parts telling you about the Shabby Doll in the walkthrough when you get it and even in the "Key Item List", but since many people don't notice it. Let me repeat a few important things here : [SHABBY DOLL] is an item you can take from the man sitting on the stairway in The Apartment World. In fact you don't have to take it since it's useless in the process of the game. So these are the cases that will happen to you related to that doll : - If you don't take it : No need to worry, there will be nothing wrong in the game later. Just play as usual. - If you take the doll, but NEVER place it in the Storage Box when Room 302 is invaded : Same as above, nothing wrong either. - If you take the doll and leave it in the Storage Box when Room 302 is invaded : there will be a certain time in which a new demon showing up on the wall above the box : Crying Children. They may appear once or twice. You can also wipe them by using Holy Candles if you want to clean up the room for a certain ending. I also hear rumours that taking the Shabby Doll can even affect Walter's lifebar in the final battle. But I'm not sure of this. ------------------------------------- EILEEN'S DIFFERENT BEHAVIOURS ------------------------------------- Near the end of the game before the final battle, there is a cutscene in 1F Hall (The Apartment World) in which Eileen gets possessed and mumbling about Young Walter towards Henry. During the scene, the quotes are always the same, but she can express either slightly or angrily, depending on how much damage she has got during the main game before that. If she doesn't get damage or just a little of them, she will act gently. If you let her take so much damage and her body is full of blood marks, she will mumble angrily, behaving toughly as if she were blaming Henry. ---------------------- HEALING EILEEN ---------------------- There's a little trick to heal Eileen if you want a better ending. You can do this AFTER travelling the 1F Hallway that has the hanged figure (The Apartment World - 2nd time) and BEFORE entering Room 105 which has just been unlocked. It's better to do this trick in the large 1F central hall. I have written this trick in the walkthrough when it can be done. By the way, a few players have also noticed me that THIS GLITCH MIGHT HAVE BEEN FIXED IN THE NORTH AMERICA & LATER VERSIONS. So PLEASE DO NOT surprise if it doesn't work in your game. A glitch is still a glitch. Here I repeat the tasks : - Push Eileen to the centre of the hall. Then light a Holy Candle close to her. Try to push her to the candle. As the candle is fading, you'll see Eileen's red marks gradually disappear. When she recovers enough, DO NOT wait until the Holy Candle completely fades. Just run to Room 105 soon. As the cutscene takes place when her red marks are gone, she'll be kept "healthy" for the final battle also. In case if you wait til the candle is put off, the blood marks may re- appear and Eileen returns to her original status. In fact you can do this trick in anywhere if you can satisfy these standards (my own experience) : - Choose a safe and large place which has no enemy (of course). - Try to push Eileen close to the candle as much as you can. - DO NOT wait until the candle runs out. Leave before it fades away. - Trigger a cutscene SOON AFTER THAT. The cutscene may be the key "glitch" that makes Eileen's recovered status is preserved. But since this is just my own experience and I have just tried a few places which are not very effective, don't waste the candles then. Just wait til the final chapter, just before the Room 105 cutscene and heal her in 1F Hall, as I've shown you here and in the walkthrough when it's needed. And one final note : This trick is JUST A GLITCH ! And we abuse it to heal Eileen. I don't guarantee about its true effect or if you are able to do it or not. So then if you still can't do it although you have tried step-by-step or if the effect is not as good as you expected, don't feel strange. ------------------------------------- UNLOCK "BRAND NEW FEAR" GAME ------------------------------------- Finish the game once in any mode. Then save the game after the credits. -------------------------------------- UNLOCK SECRET WEAPON : CHAINSAW -------------------------------------- Well, the familiar secret weapon of Silent Hill is here, too. Finish the game once in any mode, then save as "Brand New Fear" file. Then load this file to continue the game. When you reach Forest World the first time, go to the area with Jasper's car. Find a cut trunk and examine around it. The [CHAINSAW] is by its side. This is a very powerful weapon, but rather slow. -------------------------------- EILEEN'S NURSE COSTUME -------------------------------- Like the Chainsaw, this stuff can be obtained in Brand New Fear game. When you are in "Outside of Room 302", find a way to enter Room 303. Search the segmented room for a nurse costume. KEEP IT WITH YOU (don't place it in the Storage Box) til the end of the game and try to get either the "Mother" or "Escape" ending in which Eileen is still alive. Then you'll be able to select this costume in the third playthrough. ----------------------------------- CYNTHIA'S ALTERNATE COSTUME ----------------------------------- First, obtain all 4 endings in THE SAME memory card slot. In the final playthrough, remember to get Eileen's nurse costume and choose it for the next fifth playthrough. So then when you meet Cynthia, she will automatically has the alternate costume. --------------------------------------------- UNLOCK SECRET WEAPON : SUBMACHINE GUN --------------------------------------------- In order to obtain this weapon, you must beat the game and get 9 big stars or more in the ranking screen. So in the next playthrough, you'll find the Submachine Gun in Room 102 - the Apartment World. This weapon is used by Eileen only. By the way, a big star stands for 10%, a tiny star stands for 1%. The maximum you can obtain is 10 big stars (=100%). ---------------------------------- UNLOCK ONE WEAPON MODE ---------------------------------- Beat the game and get 10 big stars for that scenario. In the next playthrough, press the Right directional button when selecting the difficulty to find this mode. In this mode, when you first come to the Subway, a lot of weapons of the game will be shown for you : Steel Pipe, Wine Bottle, Stun Gun, Aluminum Bat, Shovel, Rusty Axe, Bug Spray, Richard's Revolver, Paper-cutting Knife, Pickaxe of Despair and Chainsaw. Pick your most favourite one and then all the others will disappear. Your task is to get through the game with that weapon only. ---------------------------------- UNLOCK ALL WEAPON MODE ---------------------------------- Beat One Weapon Mode to unlock this super-easy mode. In the next playthrough, press the Left directional button when selecting the difficulty to find this mode. When you visit the Subway, you are allowed to pick all the weapons given : Stun Gun, Aluminum Bat, Shovel, Rusty Axe, Bug Spray, Richard's Revolver, Paper-cutting Knife, Pickaxe of Despair and Chainsaw. Whenever you return to Room 302, there are always 10 Nutrition Drinks in the fridge and 6 clips of Pistol Bullets in the storage room. **submitted by Angie Pants. C** **Well well, you'll see that I have marked this section "Complete". It means it's complete due to my playing. In fact, I'm not a very good Silent Hill player so digging up for its secrets is not what I can do easily. Above are the secrets that I've found. If you find the list missing, just email me. I really need your help here ! Thanks a lot ! ** --------------------- **RUMOURS** --------------------- Recently I have heard people rumouring that there is a fifth ending (which may be the joke ending) of Silent Hill 4 existing in the Xbox version by having Eileen's alternate costume and press some buttons right after you beat the game. Anyone please help me to confirm this ? I won't believe any more confirmation unless you can describe exactly what happens in this ending. ======================================================================= ==== [][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][ ][][ [] [] [] SECTION IX : FILE TRANSCRIPTS [] [] [] [][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][ ][][ ======================================================================= ==== [~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~ ][~] A- THE 52 MEMO FILES [~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~ ][~] These are the files that you can obtain to Henry's memo inventory.

FIRST LETTER --------------------------- Location : Room 302, under entrance door. Contents : "Mom, Why doesn't u Wake up ?" --------------------------- 2. BOOK SCRAP --------------------------- Location : Room 302, under the bookshelf. Contents : "Through the Ritual of the Holy Assumption, he built a world. It exists in a space separate from the world of our Lord. More accurately, it is within, yet without the Lord's world. Unlike the world of our Lord, it is a world in extreme flux. Unexpected doors or walls, moving floors, odd creatures, a world only he can control... Anyone swallowed up by that world will live there for eternity, undying. They will haunt that realm as a spirit. How can our Lord forgive such an abomination... ? (This part of the book is too damaged to read.) It is important to travel lightly in that world. He who carries too heavy a burden will regret it... (The book is too damaged to read any more.)" --------------------------- 3. JASPER'S MEMO PAD --------------------------- Location : The Forest World, in Jasper's car (You must read his quick notes first before getting this memo). Contents : "I'm not sure what that nosy guy meant when he said : "His home is the orphanage in the middle. The lake is northwest. So the opposite is southeast." The nosy guy said one other thing I don't understand : "If you bring the dug-up key, you can't go back. Put it away somewhere before you return there."" ------------------------------- 4. HOLY SCRIPTURE SCRAP ------------------------------- Location : The Forest World, in Wish House. Contents : "The Second Sign And God said, Offer the Blood of the Ten Sinners and the White Oil. Be then released from the bonds of the flesh, and again the Power of Heaven. From the Darkness and Void, bring forth Gloom, and gird thyself with Despair for the Giver of Wisdom. The Third Sign And God said, Return to the Source through sin's Temptation. Under the Watchful eye of the demon, wander alone in the formless Chaos. Only then will the Four Atonements be in alignment." --------------------------- 5. EXPLORATION MEMO --------------------------- Location : The Water Prison World, the 1F cell hallway, just in front of Cell 3. Contents : "Lucky ! I finally escaped from the cell. I decided to take a careful look around this building. The scariest place was the 1st floor basement. There's a kitchen in the northeast, but next door in the northwest is a death chamber. To get in there, you have to punch in the right numbers. I don't know the numbers, and it was too dark to even see the panel, so I didn't go in." --------------------------- 6. GUARD'S DIARY --------------------------- Location : The Water Prison World, on the wall next to the returning hole on 1st floor. Contents : "To get to the surveillance rooms in the middle of this complex, you have to use the corpse disposal chutes in the cells. However, on the 1st and 2nd floors, these cells are locked. That's so the kids wouldn't discover them. So you have to get to the 1st floor from one of the cells on the 3rd floor. I know how to do it, but it's really a pain. Also, the lights only work on the 3rd floor." ------------------------------------- 7. WATERWHEEL ROOM PLATE MESSAGE ------------------------------------- Location : The Water Prison World, Waterwheel Room. Contents : "To turn on the lights in the 3rd floor cells, turn this waterwheel. Remember that the water must flow in the direction of the waterwheel. Of course, you also have to open the sluice gate on the roof." --------------------------- 8. PRISON DIARY --------------------------- Location : The Water Prison World, 3rd floor, Cell 3. Contents : "We had beef stew yesterday. In the cafeteria, I heard there's a death chamber behind the kitchen, and they take meat straight from the dead people and cook it. That really scared me." -------------------------------------- 9. 1F SURVEILLANCE ROOM REPORT -------------------------------------- Location : The Water Prison World, 1F Surveyor's Room. Contents : "This place continues to deteriorate. The doors to a number of cells no longer open. As a result, the kids inside can no longer go outside. But the less they know about that, the better. I can't open the doors, but from this room, I can watch them get more and more emaciated each day. With no food and never showering themselves, they turn into smelly little grey lumps in there. Following the suggestion of an engineer, we've disposed of the corpses by digging a hole below the cells. Since each floor of this building can be rotated independently, we can dispose of the bodies without the others noticing by aligning each cell with a body in it vertically. P.S. Chief, I bet you're dying to see the interrogation room behind the kitchen. I understand your feelings, but have you noticed ? There are three rooms with bloody beds. One is on the 1st floor, one is on the 2nd floor, and one is on the 3rd floor. If you line those three rooms up, then it's "bingo"." --------------------------------------- 10. 2F SURVEILLANCE ROOM REPORT --------------------------------------- Location : The Water Prison World, 2F Surveyor's Room. Contents : "To keep a close eye on the kids, it's important to keep the cells well lit. The lights on the 3rd floor were originally bought as searchlights. As a precaution against the blackout, they were set up to run on a private generator. There's a hydroelectric generator in the basement. To light up the 1st and 2nd floor, use the corpse disposal chutes. Since each floor of this building can be rotated, you can light up any of the cells by matching up the holes. Repeating this periodically is an effective way to keep the kids fearful and well-behaved. P.S. Chief, if you turn the handle in the middle of this room, you can easily rotate the cells. You can't rotate the 1st floor, so align the 2nd and 3rd floors with the 1st floor cell that has the blood-stained bed. By the way, if you use the peekhole in this room, it's easy to make sure you're doing right. Give it a try. Also, please don't forget to open the sluice gate on the roof. Much appreciated, Chief." -------------------------------- 11. SECRET NUMBER MEMO -------------------------------- Location : The Water Prison World, 3F Surveyor's Room. Contents : "The Secret Number for getting through the door in back of the kitchen this month is "0302". Thanks for your cooperation." ---------------------------------- 12. SUPERINTENDENT'S MEMO ---------------------------------- Location : Room 302, under the entrance door, after returning from the Building World (1st time). Examine the peekhole to activate it. Contents : (It's stained with blood, and I can't read it...) ----------------------------- 13. BARTENDER'S MEMO ----------------------------- Location : The Building World, in the bar. Contents : "The boss said that the number this time is the last 4 digits of this store's phone number. But the phone number is written right there on the sign on the roof.

He said if he found another rare one, he'd give it to me but he hasn't shown his face around much lately. He said he was a journalist and he is always investigating stuff. But I think something strange is going on with him. He's been shut in his apartment and I can hear all these weird noises coming from there. July 1 - Mike Oh my beautiful Rachael, What's with the note on the red paper ? I thought you'd written a note back to me... But I guess maybe it was somewhere else...

That young couple was living in the apartment, but one day they just suddenly disappeared. Ran off just like thieves in the night. I don't know why. It must have been money troubles, or maybe they got themselves into some kind of danger. The problem came after that. They left their newborn baby when they took off. I even found the umbilical cord. I called the ambulance right away and I heard the baby survived, but I don't know what happened to him. Although a few years later, I often saw a young kid hanging around the apartment. One day he just stopped coming by. But now that I think of it, I'll bet he was that abandoned baby. It's a horrible story. Abandoning a newborn baby... That all happened in Room 302... And the umbilical cord I found there... Well, I still can't get myself to throw it away." ------------------------------ 16.

The one with the man with long hair and coat. He was crying and looking for his mother again. I saw that man with the coat 10 years ago at this apartment. He was going up the stairs, carrying a heavy tool, an old-looking bowl and a bag that was dripping blood. I never saw him again after that. But a few days later, the neighbours complained that they heard strange noises coming from the supposedly empty Room 302. So I took a look around Room 302 and found signs that someone had been in there, but nothing odd other than that. But that's when it all started. I still hear strange noises coming from the window of Room 302. Sunderland" --------------------------- 26. CRIMSON TOME --------------------------- Location : Room 302 of the Past. Contents : ""Crimson Tome" She who is called the "Holy Mother" be not holy one whit. The "Descent of the Holy Mother" is naught but the Descent of the Devil. Those that be called the "21 Sacraments" be not sacramental one whit. The "21 Sacrements" be naught but the 21 Heresies. To give birth to a realm of wickedness within the blessed realm of our Lord be blasphemy and the work of Devil. If thou would stop the Descent of the Devil, you must bury part of the Conjurer's mother's flesh within the Conjurer's true body. Thou must also pierce the Conjurer's flesh with the 8 spears of "Void", "Darkness", "Gloom", "Despair", "Temptation", "Source", "Watchfulness" and "Chaos". Do so and the Conjurer's unholy flesh will become that which once it was, by the grace of our Lord." ---------------------------- 27. OLD PICTURE BOOK ---------------------------- There once was a baby and a mother who were connected by a magical cord. But one day the cord was cut, and the mother went to sleep. The baby was left all alone. But the baby made lots of friends at Wish House, and everyone was very nice to him. The baby was happy. His friends told him how to wake up his mother. So the baby went right away to go and wake her up. But the mother wouldn't wake up. No matter how he tried, she wouldn't wake up. Because the one that he was trying to wake up was actually the Devil. The baby had been deceived. Poor baby. The baby cried and cried and cried. When he thought of the mother, he remembered the feeling of being connected to her through the magical cord. Just then, a ray of light came down from the sky. The light was very warm and made the baby feel good. When the baby looked into his hand, he saw that the magical cord was lying there. With the cord clutched in his hand, the baby went happily to sleep. ------------------------------ 28. RED DIARY - APRIL 4 ------------------------------ Lately I've been feeling like my life is in serious danger. I've been throught a lot in my life, but I've never felt this kind of pure animal fear. In case something happens to me, I've decided to write down what I've learned for whoever you are that's living in the apartment now. I've been investigating the mass murder that took place 7 years ago in which 10 people were killed in 10 days. They were killed in a variety of ways, but the one thing they had in common was that each corpse has the following numbers, in order of their deaths, carved into them : 01121, 02121, 03121, 04121, 05121, 06121, 07121, 08121, 09121, 10121,... The name of their killer... it was carved in as well... His name was... Walter Sullivan. April 4 ------------------------------ 29. RED DIARY - APRIL 8 ------------------------------ Although the cult itself is gone, I'm sure the spirit of it is still alive. There are too many strange things happening in that town. I'm investigating two people. Or maybe I should say just one. I've just about discovered what's going on. April 8 ----------------------------- 30. RED DIARY - MAY 2 ----------------------------- I figured out the riddle behind the numbers. "01121" is actually "01/21". In the other words, 1 out of 21. So Walter was planning on killing 21 people...? But he never finished the job. He was convicted for the murders of Billy and Miriam Locane, the 7th and 8th victims. Afterwards, he committed suicide in his jail cell. The grisly mass murder of 10 people shocked the world and came to be known as the "Walter Sullivan Case". There are two big puzzles here. The first is : What was the motive for the murder ? The second is : Why did he kill himself before completing his task ? Was he simply insane...? May 2 ----------------------------- 31. RED DIARY - MAY 14 ----------------------------- It was four years ago that they discovered the body with "12/21" carved into it. Right away I had this terrible feeling and couldn't stop shaking. The victim had been murdered six months earlier, but Walter had been dead for seven years, having committed suicide three years before the murder. The police think it's a copycat crime and are calling it the Sullivan Case Round Two. But something about it bothered me... May 14 ------------------------------ 32. RED DIARY - MAY 20 ------------------------------ I picked up the key that Eileen from Room 303 must have dropped. I thought I'd return it but she wasn't home. I guess I'll give it to the super. May 20 ---------------------------- 33. RED DIARY SCRAP ---------------------------- I lost they key to Eileen Galvin's room. I've gotta find it and bring it back. Let me think... The last place I saw it was... (It's ripped here and I can't read the rest...) --------------------------------------- 34. RED DIARY SCRAP (CONTINUE) --------------------------------------- Oh yeah, I had a really wicked headache that day and just collapsed on the bed. Maybe if I look near the bed in my room - 302's bedroom - I'll find it. I get headaches everyday now. It's terrible. What am I going to do ? May 22 ------------------------------- 35. RED DIARY - JUNE 11 ------------------------------- Walter Sullivan did kill himself. He died in his prison cell of blood loss after he stabbed himself in the neck with his spoon. His body was buried in a cemetary just outside his hometown of Silent Hill in an unmarked grave. After that, his name became famous all over the world and it looked like his string of mass murders was finished at 10 out of 21. But 3 years later, they found a corpse that had "12/21" carved into it. The corpse was from 6 months earlier. In other words, the person was killed two and a half years after Sullivan committed suicide. The MO was exactly the same as Sullivan's. Except for one thing. All 10 of Sullivan's victims were found with their hearts cut out and their chest wounds sewn together expertly with thread. On the other hand, the "12/21" victim still had their heart. Naturally the police think it's a copycat and are proceeding on that basis. But they haven't made any progress and recently discovered victim number 13. This corpse also had their heart intact. The police still haven't identified a suspect. I've got a working hypothesis. Very few people knew the details of the original crimes and would be able to copy Sullivan's MO so precisely. First I'll head to Silent Hill... To the Graveyard near that beautiful little lake. Maybe I'll find the answer there. June 11 ------------------------------ 36. RED DIARY - JUNE 14 ------------------------------ The weather that day was very strange. Even though I avoided the earlier storm, there was still a thick fog clinging to everything. Fortunately, that allowed me to avoid being seen and get right to work. The police are still stubbornly acting as if it's just a copycat case. So I figured things probably hadn't been touched here. But I was wrong. I should have come sooner. The cemetary was in such bad condition that it was almost sad. The storm must have raised the sea level. Anyway, that's how it was when I found Walter Sullivan's grave. (This diary is pretty damaged around this point and I can't read anymore...) I'm still in shock... There was no body in the grave... And on top of that, written on the coffin were the numbers "11/21". June 14 ------------------------------- 37. RED DIARY - JULY 13 ------------------------------- I don't think I can protect myself. He's truly insane. I can't hold on any longer. His power can't be measured. I was so scared today that I sealed off the back of the storage room. I wonder if Eileen Galvin is okay. She has no idea what's going on... But she's in danger nevertheless. July 13 ------------------------------- 38. RED DIARY - JULY 17 ------------------------------- A few days after Walter killed himself in his cell, several residents witnessed a long-haired man with a coat here. Through his window, Richard Braintree in 207 saw the man moving something heavy and doing something in Room 302. Even Sunderland, the superintendent, saw the man with the coat hanging around Room 302, and confirmed there were signs of someone having been in there. July 17 ------------------------------- 39. RED DIARY - JULY 18 ------------------------------- My theory is that Walter never died at the prison. It may have been someone else who committed suicide. Either that, or the person the police arrested was not the real Walter Sullivan. I'm in no position to investigate what really happened at the prison, but in any case, Walter didn't die at the prison. The man with the coat that showed up here was the real Walter. 7 years ago, he did something in that apartment. I'm certain there's a link between that and the bizarre things that have been happening here. Just a little bit more and I'll have this whole thing figured out. I may even find that the real Walter is somewhere nearby. July 18 ------------------------------ 40. RED DIARY - JULY 20 ------------------------------ You've seen that world as well... That horrible nightmare. But if you get sucked into it, it's not just a nightmare. Don't get lost in there. If you get pulled in, you'll be killed. But there's still hope. Maybe this "small key" will guide you. If you've seen the door with the placard set in it, look on the other side of the door. Then keep going down. To the deepest part of him. And look for the ultimate Truth. July 20 - Joseph ------------------------------ 41. RED DIARY - JULY 23 ------------------------------ I've found something that's extremely effective against the ghosts. It saved my life. It was stuck into the huge rock in the woods near the orphanage. It's a sword blade with a hand-made, triangle-shaped wooden handle that has some kind of spell written on it. As a weapon, it's heavy and hard to carry. But somehow it seems to change in response to the ghost-victim's power. Strike when the sword is energized ! If you don't reduce their power, your attacks will be repelled. As far as I know, there are only 5 swords in existence with that kind of power. It's extremely valuable. July 23 ------------------------------ 42. RED DIARY - JULY 25 ------------------------------ I've found two mysterious and powerful artifacts that seem to be very effective for evading the ghost-victims : the Holy Candle and the Saint Medallion. Not only are they effective against the ghost-victims in the Other World, they also seem to prevent them from invading my room. Just light the candle near where they're coming in and its holy power is activated. The Saint Medallion seems to repel unholy energy when it's worn (equipped). I'm starting to gain some hope. July 25 ------------------------------- 43. RED DIARY - JULY 28 ------------------------------- I'm going to summarize everything that I've learned about Walter Sullivan so far. He was born right here in Room 302 of "South Ashfield Heights". His parents abandoned him soon afterwards and disappeared somewhere, leaving the baby alone. He was discovered and sent to St. Jerome's hospital. He was "adopted" by "Wish House", an orphanage in the forest near Silent Hill that's run by the secret Silent Hill religious cult. When he was six years old, someone from the cult showed him where he was born. Since then, he started to believe that Room 302 itself -- in other words, this room -- was his mother. Every week, he travelled from the orphanage to South Ashfield Heights, a pretty long trip for a kid his age. Sometimes he took the subway, and sometimes the bus. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm tired... My headache is already killing me. I'll write more tomorrow. July 28 ------------------------------- 44. RED DIARY - JULY 29 ------------------------------- Continuing from yesterday, I'm going to summarize everything that I've learned about Walter Sullivan so far. Naturally, it was a long way for a kid his age to travel, but he made the trip every week by subway or bus. Unfortunately, someone else was living in this apartment and so he couldn't be reunited with his mother (Room 302). For years, he continued to come here, almost like he was possessed, just to peek into the apartment. Eventually, the tenants began to complain and treat him badly when they saw him hanging around. Walter began to fear the tenants and see them as obstacles preventing him from seeing his mother. As the years passed and Walter matured, he began to be more and more influenced by the teachings of the cult. Furthermore, his obsession with his mother and his feelings of resentment towards the outer world became even deeper. Walter became preoccupied with one particular tract from the cult's "Bible." "The Descent of the Holy Mother -- The 21 Sacraments". "By the 21 Sacraments, the Holy Mother shall appear in the countries of the world and shall bring salvation to the sinful ones." After Walter left Wish House, he moved to Pleasant River, a town neighbouring Silent Hill. For a while, he lived the life of a normal student, but he was still filled with bitterness and resentment towards the rest of the world. Several years later, he launched his plan there.

I've been having hallucinations lately. I think I'm losing my mind. (No date witten.) ---------------------------- 51. JOSEPH'S LETTER ---------------------------- Location : Room 302, Laundry Room, just before the final battle. Contents : "He used this place as the locus for the creation of his world. I'm certain he must have performed the "Ritual of the Holy Assumption" near here. But I'm just not strong enough to stop him anymore... He locked me up in this room and played with me just like a toy... My eyes are starting to go blind... The pain... I can feel my body starting to die... But... things are taken care of... Whoever lives here after me... You'll be the 21st, the last of the sacrifices... I leave it up to you... When the bell tolls, the ritual begins. Eileen = mother's body, blood. Part of the mother's flesh = the super's room. This is all that I've been able to figure out. I hope this letter gets to you in time... Joseph Schreiber ---------------------------- 52. JOSEPH'S ARTICLE ---------------------------- Location : The Apartment World, Room 301. Contents : "Teaching Despair : "Wish House" "Wish House", an orphanage on the outskirts of Silent Hill. But behind its false image is a place where children are kidnapped and brainwashed. Wish House is managed by the "Silent Hill Smile Support Society", a charity organization sometimes called "4S". It's true that 4S is a well-respected charity that "takes in poor children without homes and raises them with hope." But at its heart, it is a heathen organization that teaches its own warped dogma in lieu of good religious values. Mr. Smith (tempt), who lives near "Wish House", had this to say : "Sometimes at night I can hear their weird prayers and the sounds of [children] crying. I went there to complain one time, but they ran me right out. Since then, it hasn't changed a bit." In fact, this reporter was refused admission when he attempted to take photographs in the facility. What exactly do the folks at "Wish House" have to hide ? During my investigation, I was able to discover, however, a suspicious- -looking round concrete tower which appears to be part of their facilities. Unfortunately no one was willing to tell us what the tower was used for. But it seems unlikely that it has anything to do with the business of raising orphans. It may in fact be a prison, or a secret place of worship. The cult religion that operates "Wish House" is known by the locals simply as "The Order". It's a religion that is deeply interwoven with Silent Hill's history. But it's worshippers' fervent belief that they are among the elite "chosen people" has a dark and dangerous side. I intend to continue my investigation of "Wish House" and the cult behind it. I've always believed that "telling the whole truth" and showing the children the true path, is our most important duty.

You can have Eileen read them for you when you have her along. These writings are full of spelling mistakes and the words are pretty simple and kidding. I believe this is very Young Walter's diary when he was living in Wish House. This is the content : "October 1st He told me to write whatever Nobody will see it anyhow I like to write. Teacher told me how. October 2nd I played with Bob. It was fun, but I went too far and HE got really mad. October 3rd I played with Bob again. I went even further this time. There was a huge rock. It was really cool. He beat me up after it. October 4th My cheek hurts. I hate him. October 5th I got hit again. I didn't do anything wrong. I wish he was dead. October 6th Tomorrow is Book study in the chapel If I can't read good I'll wind up like John. I am really scared. October 13th I finally got outside. John is still stuck in the round cell. I hope I can read good tomorrow. October 14th I did good reading today. I was so happy. But the 21 sacraments for the descent of the holy mother was hard. October 15th Bob is gone. Nobody will tell me what happened. I bet HE did it -- Andrew! October 16th Some important people came today One of them was a lady named Dahlia... October 17th The important lady told me mommy was asleep in Ashfields. I got a mommy too ! I'm really happy ! I wanna see her. Where is Ashfield anyhow ? October 18th I have to stay in the round cell tomorrow even if I read good. If I do it God wil be happy so I wil do it. HE comes into the round cell a lot to visit but its okay I guess. October 21st I only leave the round cell on Sunday Then I go and read the Book. I read realy good today too ! If I can keep reading the 21 sacraments for the descent of the holy mother good, I can see mommy. That's what the important lady said But tomorrow I'm going to the round cell again. October 28th I have to take a train or something to go to Ashfield. Everybody says Ashfield is a realy scary place but I realy wanna see my mommy. February 10th I went to Ashfield again Again I couldn't find mommy. Some mean girls in the train said mean stuff to me and I got scared. He beat me again too. March 17th I went to Ashfield again It was my forth time Just like before I didn't see mommy. This city is scary and the apartment where mommy is has a scary guy in it. If I can just read the 21 sacraments for the holy mother thing I can be with her." ======================================================================= ==== [][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][ ][][ [] [] [] SECTION X : ITEM LIST [] [] [] [][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][ ][][ ======================================================================= ==== [~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~ ][~] [~] A- SUPPORT ITEMS [~] [~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~ ][~] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ NUTRITION DRINK ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Location : Scattering Description : Heals your body with supplement nutrition.

Difficulty : Medium Strategy : As its name implies, it has two faces stuck to each other. The old type is cloaked with a black coat and move by arms. Their long arms can reach you from distance with a dashing attack. So watch out. In fact, they are not very hard to fight if you get on first, then keep hitting until they die (Of course STAMP ON THEM when they lie after that). But sometimes they can stay away when getting enough hits from you. Then if you move forward, they will suddenly turn back and give you a heavy strike. Just always have your weapon prepared up and don't let them have a chance to attack you. Stun Gun works well against them. In case you fight a group of them... Hm... what can I say here ? FIGHT LIKE HELL !!! Try to attempt on a monster until it dies. Don't let yourself annoyed by the others. Using handguns will help you damage them from distance, and one shot can damage more than one Gun Head if they are close to one another. As usual, don't forget to stamp on the lying ones no matter what you do. ------------------------------ DOUBLE HEAD (NEW TYPE) ------------------------------ Locations : * Outside of Room 302. Difficulty : Medium Strategy : I called them "naked double head" in the walkthrough. They belong to the same type of normal Gun Heads, but have no black coats and the arrangement of their two faces is different, too. Just apply the same strategy as beating old type Gum Heads. ***SUBMITTED BY PEACE SPARROW*** ...................................... In Japanese SH4 website, the cloaked double-headed monster is called "Victim 7 & 8" that are exactly Billy Locane and Miriam Locane. So why do they turn into such regular monsters instead of evil spirits like the others in Walter's twisted world ? Refer to "Miscellany" section Part A for the answer. Finally, a lot of thanks to Peace Sparrow for this info. ----------------- DUMMY ----------------- Locations : * At the end of The Building World - 2nd times. Difficulty : Medium/Hard Strategy : This is one of the wall monsters which you are forced to fight at the end of The Building World - 2nd time. Just like normal wall monsters, it strikes you with its long arms. In this battle, the Dummy is the elite monster that the other ones must depend on. Once the Dummy dies, the other wall monsters will, too. So your task is to recognize and defeat this monster. When you damage a wall monster, if the others get hurt, too, it's the Dummy. Then just keep hitting this one until it dies. You will kill all the others, too. ------------------------------ GUM HEAD (OLD TYPE) ------------------------------ Locations : * The Building World (two times) * The Forest World - 2nd times. Difficulty : Medium Strategy : These must be the monkeys which you encounter mostly in the Building World. They also have two heads (a main head a spare one rising on its body). They seem pretty stupid and like joking around more than attempting to fight you. When you hit them enough, they may either pretend to stay away or get angry and then inflict you with a heavy strike. Just beat them til they are knocked out, then STAMP on them. Groups of these monsters are dangerous too, and just apply the same strategy as you defeat groups of Double Heads if you use normal melee weapons. Although one hit of Stun Gun can knock down Gum Head like it could with Double Head, I don't recommend using this weapon here, since Gum Head is wiser and more active as it takes Henry an unsafe moment to draw the Stun Gun. ------------------------------ GUM HEAD (NEW TYPE) ------------------------------ Locations : * The Building World (two times) * The Forest World - 2nd times. Difficulty : Medium Strategy : They are the same as original Gum Heads, but have darker colours and are equipped with melee weapons. They are a bit wiser and don't joke you as much as the old ones. Instead, they really beat you, especially when you make them angry. Just apply the same strategy to beat old Gum Heads with them. But be more careful. --------------------------- PATIENTS --------------------------- Locations : * The Hospital World. * The Apartment World - 2nd time. Difficulty : Medium/Hard Strategy : These are the mutant patients that you first meet in the Hospital World. They are bigger than you and each one is equipped with a melee weapon. Their striking attacks are heavy to Henry's lifebar, too. Fortunately, they are very slow in moving and posing, so you can completely get enough time to make Henry inflict a Patient before he can damage you, unless you equip your character with a heavy weapon that causes slow reactions. It takes you several hits to kill a Patient with a normal flexible melee weapon (golf clubs, pipe, bat, etc). You can knock out a Patient quickly be using Stun Gun, then step on them. There are some times in the game when you encounter groups of Patients. It's really dangerous since you can get damaged from a Patient while targetting to attack another. If they are not very crowded and scatter, have Henry proceed fast and end the one that is coming first, then the next one, until they are all killed. If they come in group simultaneously, just attack like hell. Firearms can help you avoid some troubles, since you can attack from distance and have time to run away. But no matter what weapon you are using, DON'T FORGET TO STAMP ON THE LYING PATIENT to kill him completely. If not, he'll soon recover and you have to begin again with the same quantity of them. -------------------- SNIFFER DOGS -------------------- Locations : Everywhere Difficulty : Medium Strategy : This is the most popular type of enemies in this game. You encounter in most of the locations. The male one is yellow, the female is pink. They all have the same popular attack : dashing into you and grind your foot. It takes them a long moment to prepare before dashing, so you interfere them with a hit then. Dodging their attack is not hard either. Just move aside by normal movements or using Evade button. Use a good melee weapon to strike them. A few hits can kill one dog. When they get hurt enough, they will lie on the ground, roaring around. Then DON'T FORGET TO STAMP ON THEM. The dogs just really die after getting stamped. --------------------------- TOADSTOOLS --------------------------- Locations : * The Water Prison World. * The Hospital World. Difficulty : Easy Strategy : These creatures grow up in humid areas. They look like long thin worms with a big bloody head and grows like plants. You can kill them with only one strike of any weapons. If you touch them, they die, but Henry gets damaged, too. ------------------------------ VICTIMS/EVIL SPIRITS ------------------------------ Locations : Everywhere. Difficult : Medium Strategy : They are the people who were pulled to the same alternate worlds with Henry, then got killed by Walter Sullivan and became undead spirits haunting the place forever. Plus the new victims whose deaths Henry witnesses during the game, there are totally 16 spirits in the game (Number 15 is missing ; Number 7 & 8 are manifested into monsters instead - Refer to section "Miscellany" Part A for more info). All the spirits have the same manners and attacks : - They are undefeatable by normal weapons. But you can make them lie on the ground temporarily by keeping striking them like hell. Then stamp on them. - They can wander everywhere. - They get out from a wall with some kind of sticky black slime that can hurt Henry if you let him touch it. - They can cause Henry's headaches if you let him go around with them. lifebar. Just never let them touch you. - All of them can be nailed by Swords of Obedience. Impale them with the swords when they have laid on the ground. Use any melee weapon to knock them down. If you are equipped with a Saint Medallion or light up a Holy Candle nearby, you'll be able to beat up the ghost more easily. It'll be too late if they get up. Then you must beat them again til they are down. These are the general terms about the spirits. Among them are some certain spirits whom you must watch out for. They have some special moves and will chase you DURING THE REST OF THE GAME since you finished the Hospital World. All these "VIPs" deserve to receive a Sword of Obedience for each one. ......................................... Victim No. 16 : Cynthia Velasquez ......................................... She first returned in the Subway World - 2nd time as the most flexible ghost, also the ghost who is shown the most in the game trailer. Her long hair is a dangerous weapon that can reach you from distance to strangle Henry, absorbing his life. When getting enough damage and lying on the ground, she can still follow you quickly by crawling and then suddenly rise up to continue the jokes. She is fast and very hard to be knocked down, I think. So you should use a Saint Medallion or a Holy Candle to support you, then a Sword of Obedience is recommended for her. .................................... Victim No. 17 : Jasper Gein .................................... First showing up in The Forest World - 2nd time, this guy doesn't have any remarkable attack, but look at him : His ghost is always covered by burning flame, just as his death. You can get heavy damage by touching the flame or getting his strike. What to do now ? You can still strike him as normal spirits, but pick a weapon that has a good range to avoid the flame. Another Sword of Obedience for him, I think. ...................................... Victim No. 18 : Andrew DeSalvo ...................................... The Water Prison was where he died and where he is born again as an undead ghost. There has been an own strategy for him written in the walkthrough cuz you are forced to defeat him with the Sword of Obedience in the main game. Here I just insist on the main points : He loves floating around more than fighting you. When he has played around enough, he will cast his true attack : bending into a ball and spin towards you like a wheel, giving you a lovely damage. Just knock him down and give him the Sword of Obedience. ........................................... Victim No. 19 : Richard Braintree ........................................... He welcomed you in the beginning of The Building World - 2nd time. Unlike most of the ghosts, Richard can move on the ground along with floating. With a club equipped on his hand, Richard approaches you, seeking chances to hit you. His special move is teleporting. He can suddenly disappear after getting damaged, then suddenly showed up behind you or somewhere else in the field. Just beat him like hell when you have been able to touch him. Then quickly nail him with the Sword of Obedience. So why are there 19 spirits ? Well, they are the very Walter's "21 Sacraments". The 20th and 21th spirits will be Eileen Galvin and Henry Townshend if they die. And saving these two is your main objective in this game, okay ? --------------------------- WALL MAN (OLD TYPE) --------------------------- Locations : * The Subway World - King Street Line escalators. * The Water Prison World Difficulty : Easy/Medium Strategy : These yellow babies suddenly rise up from the walls, striking you with their long arms. With this old type, a few melee weapon strikes or shots from handgun can kill them quickly. Just be careful with their hits which hurt a lot and even throws Henry away. If you use guns, you can damage them from any distance. But if you use melee weapons, try to wait until they stop hitting and take a moment of rest, approach and give them the finishing touches. --------------------------- WALL MAN (NEW TYPE) --------------------------- Locations : * The Water Prison World. * The Apartment World. Difficulty : Easy/Medium Strategy : They are the same as old-type wall monsters, but grey and have better stamina. It means you have to give them more hits to end their lives. Just apply the same strategy as beating the yellow ones. --------------------------- WHEELCHAIRS --------------------------- Locations : * The Hospital World. * The Building World - 2nd time. Difficulty : N/A Strategy : They are undefeatable ? Yeah, somehow. These Wheelchairs run around and then turn up, suddenly strike you with a heavy damage that can cause Henry to be thrown away. You can't kill them, but you can stun them by giving a hit, then find chances to dodge and run away. --------------------------- WHITESTOOLS --------------------------- Locations : * The Water Prison World. * The Building World, Shower Room. Difficulty : Easy Strategy : May belong to the same type of Toadstools. They are white plants growing in humid areas. When they are still growing in small size, you can pass them without any difficulty. But when they have been long enough and develop their heads (that are a little bigger than the bodies), you have to get rid of them in order to pass safely. Just like the Toadstools, one hit of any weapon can kill a Whitestool. But you'll also get damaged if you touch them, and then they die, too.

But be ware, it also contains BIG SPOILERS, too. So newbies shouldn't read this section until you complete the game AT LEAST ONCE. It also contains spoilers about previous Silent Hill games, if you haven't played them. Although this section may contain some plot facts, remember that it's just considered in "Miscellany", which mean I won't go in analyzing too much these events. If you want to know more, you should look for a Plot Guide that specializes in them. I'm also planning to make a Plot Guide, but don't know where to start. Just forget it, what I need now is that : "If you can find more interesting facts in this game that seem to make big sense or are related to other Silent Hill games or anything like that, or if you can find the answers or explanations for some questions I wonder within the text and want to contribute to this section, just email me and I'll add to this section. All your helps will be appreciate and credited." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1. HENRY'S PHOTO ? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In the beginning of the game when you are in the Alternate Room 302, examine the Living Room and you can obviously see a photo of Henry on the right of the Silent Hill landscape photo above the sofa. If you examine the photo of Henry, your character will say that he doesn't know who that guy is (???). When you return to the normal Room 302, that photo has been replaced by another one of the South Ashfield Heights apartment. Geez, what does that mean ? A photo of Henry appears in the Alternate Room, but then he doesn't even recognize himself there. |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| | *** Theory submitted by Nielle from address | | NasuAngel6541@cs.com *** | |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| | I think the reason why Henry doesn't recognize himself | | is because the character you are controlling is not | | Henry. I believe the person you first play as in the | | intro is Joseph Schreiber. The reason why I believe it is| | him is because when you first start the intro to the game| | and check the TV. The person you are playing as says | | something along the lines of, "What's this ? I thought I | | had a record player here." If you look around at the | | furniture layout in "Room 302 of the Past", you'll notice| | a record player in place of the TV. | | | | So I guess you start out as Joseph and then get killed | | by the ghost, turning the stage over to Henry. | |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Well, Nielle's theory seems acceptable due to the events we see in the game. But after thinking of this theory for a while, I suddenly think of some other problems, too. Your theory seems right due to the events in the game. So is there any suggestion for the appearance of Henry's photo in Joseph's room ? Then, also following this theory, besides Henry's photo, all the other photos about Silent Hill scenery which are claimed to be taken by Henry in present Room 302, appeared in the intro when Joseph was still living there. Is that okay ? After all the intro is that Henry wakes up from that nightmare. I thought it was Henry's own dream. So is it possible if he dreams of being Joseph, but couldn't recognize the photo of himself there ? Then I'm glad to receive another reader's idea that agrees with Nielle's and confirms some of my new questions. |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| | *** Theory submitted by Hima *** | |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| | At the beginning of the game, it wasn't Henry. It was | | Joseph Schreiber. According to "Red Diary - August 2", it| | is exactly what the character in the beginning of the | | game said when you explore things around the room. Henry | | cannot be the person who type this for sure, and Joseph | | won't know what Henry said in his dream either. So the | | only explanation is that the person at the beginning is | | Joseph, not Henry. That's why he doesn't recognize the | | face in the photo. It was Henry's dream, but it wasn't | | Henry in his dream. | |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2. THE HANDPRINTS OPPOSING ROOM 302 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When you look through the peekhole on Room 302's door, you always notice there is a bunch of handprints on the opposite wall, right ? When you first see them, there are 15 handprints. But following the process of the game, you'll see more and more new handprints (with fresh red colour) show up there, until they reach the number of 19... You have understood, right ? Each time a victim gets killed by Walter Sullivan, a new handprint appears, including the Holy Assumption of himself as well. At first you saw 15 of them because there had been 15 victims til that time, with Joseph Schreiber - the Despair, as the last one. Then during the main game, the next four victims are Cynthia Velasquez, Jasper Gein, Andrew DeSalvo and Richard Braintree that adds four more handprints on the wall. Anyway, I don't really know the way how those handprints show up ? What a "Silent-Hill-style" mystery ! What do you think about them ? **Submited by a reader** You may wonder why other people in the apartment never seem to care about such bloody handprints on the wall. It's because they-do-not-see- them. The peekhole in Room 302 door may be also haunted like the room itself. So when Henry looks through it, he sees them, while in fact they don't exist in normal people's view. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 3. "WISH HOUSE" or "HOPE HOUSE" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is a location you can visit in Silent Hill 4. But this is not the first time you see Wish House. A view of this orphanage was clearly shown fast in the opening movie of Silent Hill 1. You see that the "Joseph's Article" memo in this game completely matches the "Hope House Article" found in Brookhaven Hospital in Silent Hill 3. After reading it, Heather Mason said that it got very familiar to her. In this Japanese version of this game Silent Hill 4, in The Forest World, when Henry and Jasper enter the Wish House, you can find a strange note near the staircase. Something like : "Have you found Alessa yet ? How is Walter's process coming along? Send me a report." According to the red writings, maybe the author of this note was Dahlia Gillespie. Also according to the red writings, it was very Dahlia who gave Walter the impression of his mother being in Room 302 of South Ashfields Apartment. Maybe Dahlia was also responsible for teaching Walter and it was her duty to take such a reason, in fact, to teach the religious cult to Walter Sullivan so that he will grow up as a cult member and do the 21 sacraments he was studying. Besides, the first sentence of the notes also proved that Alessa Gillespie used to live in the Wish House, too. Perhaps Dahlia sent her there to have her taught with the Silent Hill cult. But then she ran away all out of her expectation. All the events after that, as we have known, took place in Silent Hill 1 and 3. Alessa is still alive, but in the form of Heather/Cherryl Mason who is now no more a god and no more related to Silent Hill cult. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 4. THE SUNDERLAND FAMILY ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The superintendent of South Ashfield Heights apartment is Mr. Frank Sunderland. If you examine the photo of the superintendent in Henry's living room and in Room 202 of the apartment in certain time, you'll find out that Mr. Frank Sunderland was described to be a kind man, who got a son and a daughter-in-law that had gone missing. Well, could they be James Sunderland and Mary Shepherd-Sunderland who caused the events in Silent Hill 2 ? The answer is probably "Yes". By the way, which event does "had gone missing" imply ? It can't be called "missing" if James and Mary wanted to live independently. Does Frank know that Mary has died ? Mary might have already died when Silent Hill 4 took place. But what about James ? Remember Douglas Cartland in Silent Hill 3. He is an experienced detective who has worked in many interesting missions, but he said that there was one missing affair which he couldn't solve. Could that be James' case ? There's also another theory coming around : Silent Hill 2 was really ended with one of the bad endings : "In Water", "Maria" or even "Rebirth" ending (Thanks to President Evil for his plot analysis that explained the meaning of these endings). + "In Water" ending : James surely committed suicide because he couldn't suffer being tormented by his crime of killing his wife Mary. That completely agrees with his "missing". + "Maria" ending : James did not die in this ending. But instead, he would have to witness Maria's death as a reflection of his crime to Mary again after that. Who knows if he could survive then ? He could also commit suicide, or run away again ? + "Rebirth" ending : This is also a possible ending, since we all can't be sure of the result of his reviving Mary ceremony. But in my own opinion, such kind of ceremonies never brings good result. + "Leave" ending : I don't think James could go missing in this case. He has decided to forget his guilty past and continued to live happily with Laura along. When you are happy, you don't have to isolate yourself like a missing case. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 5. SOMETHING IN THE TOILET ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ First, thanks to Hima for informing me about this little circumstance. After you finish the Building World (1st time), enter the bathroom and examine the toilet. Henry will say there's something in the toilet and ask if you want to get it. No matter which you choose "Yes" or "No", Henry will all refuse to do that. Then if you come back here and examine the toilet after finishing the Apartment World, Henry just says "I don't need to use it now." Well, so what is the "thingy" in the toilet there ? Most gamers, including me, agree on the idea that this is just a familiar joke of Konami. In Silent Hill 2, there's a scene in which James has his hand in the toilet to get a wallet. And then in Silent Hill 3, if you have SH2 saved file, you can make Heather do the same thing in the Men's Toilet in Shopping Mall. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 6. THE MISSING PAINTINGS ? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As you knew, Room 202 is a mini gallery of the owner. Here his found masterpieces are about all the people living in South Ashfield Heights apartment, EXCEPT the owners of Room 302 and 303, as we could find some blank canvases that have nothing painted yet. Why so ? If I'm right, as we don't count the wrapped blank canvases in the segmented room, there are three blank canvases in the main portion of the room that may be for the three Joseph, Henry and Eileen. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 7. THE BABY'S CHART IN HOSPITAL ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I'm playing the Japanese version and I wonder if the other versions have this strange episode, too. In Hospital World, the Doctor's Lounge, you see that Henry keeps looking at the files on the desk although there's no item to get there. If you examine it, he says that it's a baby patient's chart. But does it have anything strange more than that which attracts his attention ? Or is this just a glitch ? |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| | *** Theory contributed by Winniemoo *** | |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| | I believe the baby's chart was there to suggest that | | Walter Sullivan may have been to the hospital as a baby. | | It's logical following the events in the game : He was | | born in Room 302, and then abandoned by his parents. The | | superintendent - Frank Sunderland - probably found him, | | and took him to St. Jerome Hospital to check if the baby | | was okay. | |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 8. "PICKAXE OF DESPAIR" ? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This weapon makes me wonder a lot. When you have Henry take it up, he says that it gives him some creeps. So what's the truth behind this Pickaxe ? Its name "Pickaxe of Despair" first reminds me of Joseph Schreiber - the dead journalist who was considered the "Despair" in Walter Sullivan's "21 Sacraments" list. Joseph is also the one who gives you the later "Pickaxe of Hope", which Henry used to break the Room 302 wall to reveal Walter's true hideout. Why was there such a "Pickaxe of Despair" and does it have anything related to Joseph ? I guess Joseph used to use this weapon and dropped it in the Forest World. But it just sounds so simple. What about you ? What's your idea ? |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| | *** Theory contributed by Hima *** | |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| | For my idea of the Pickaxe of Despair, I think it's | | because of Joseph's despair from trying to break the wall| | in his room, but he couldn't. And he probably used it as | | weapon instead while he was traveling in Walter's sick | | world, and dropped it in the Forest World just like you | | guess. Maybe that's why the new Pickaxe is called the | | Pickaxe of Hope. Since Henry and Eileen are the only two | | that can stop Walter, or they are the only 'hope', this | | Pickaxe will breakdown the wall that Joseph tried before.| | (And it can really breakdown that wall!). | |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 9. WALTER SULLIVAN AND HIS VICTIMS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This part has been featured following Hima's ideas wondering about Walter Sullivan's "21 Sacraments" list. Most of Walter's victims are related to his life and the Silent Hill cult. - STEVE GARLAND - VICTIM NO.4 According to a newspaper, this guy must have been the owner of the Pet Store in the Building World. We don't really know anything about him, beside the fact that Joseph has mentioned his name incompletely in the victim list and that he got killed after a gun fight. After you examine the this newspaper, Henry will hear some gunshots coming from the Pet Store. And then if you enter back, the Pet Store gets changed into a murder scene. There was also an info saying that many years ago, a boy came to his shop and injured a pet there. Now Steve has also been murdered in this very shop. Could that boy be Walter Sullivan ? Besides, many people have wondered if there's any relation between Steve and Lisa Garland - the dead nurse who Alessa Gillespie rebuilt as a demon in Silent Hill 1 ? - BILLY LOCANE & MIRIAM LOCANE - VICTIM 7 & 8 (A.K.A. DOUBLE HEAD MONSTERS) No information is known about these two. Many people have emailed me that they were really mentioned in Silent Hill 2 in a newspaper. I had known that, but didn't mention here. Because what we learned was only that Billy and Miriam were two local pupils in Silent Hill who got murdered with their hearts taken away. Walter Sullivan was said to have killed them with unknown reason, while he didn't look like the type of killer. Unlike other victims who became evil ghosts in Walter's twisted world, Billy and Miriam are manifested into the Double-headed - a regular monster during the trip. Why is this ? In fact I don't have an exact answer for this question. But we can theorize that they are too young to go to Hell that they couldn't become ghosts. So Walter manifested them into the haunting monsters instead. This has explained the reason for their weird forms : two similar heads are stuck to each other, as Billy and Miriam are brother and sister. And they always appear along with children's cry. By the way, there's anothing I notice here : Except the final Apartment chapter where all monsters are summoned to stand on Henry's way, these Victim 7&8 monsters only show up in The Water Prison World. I'm not sure of the reason. But since it's the place where Walter spent a period of his bitter childhood, he might want these kids to suffer the same thing. - JOSEPH SCHREIBER : Victim no. 15. He was a journalist who has written the article about Hope/Wish House located in Silent Hill. And according to his diary, it's clear that he has been to Silent Hill to for several investigations, some of which are about Walter. According to "Mike's Diary" and all volumes of Red Diary, Joseph also got locked in Room 302 for his final days like Henry now, suffering more and more despair with time (as Walter named him the "Despair" in his list). Most theories claim that he has got killed by a ghost invading Room 302 as what we have seen in the beginning of the game. And if you pay careful attention, Walter has killed 19 victims, but there are only 18 evil spirits wandering around ? More interestingly, the missing one is number 15 - Joseph, at least until he disappeared after telling Henry the truth. Thanks to O Totoro for his theories : Among all Walter's killed victims, Joseph might be the only one who first realized the cause of his situation and his coming death (then Henry and Eileen). He knew so much about Walter, but couldn't help. That was his "Despair" : He knew that other victims, including his neighbour Eileen, were in danger. But what he could only do was standing helplessly. Perhaps he was also the one who created the hole to Eileen's room and wrote the text nearby. He might have tried to contact her for help, but then she wasn't even aware of the hole. After his own death, he may have been being corrupted in Walter's twisted world. His strong will to stop such a crime has helped him race with Walter's power to meet Henry and tell the truth before he himself becomes evil. If you hear the conversation between Joseph and Henry in "Room 302 of the Past", his final lines have grown stranger as he keeps repeating "kill him... kill... kill..." as though he were unaware of his own speech and becoming possessed. There is also another theory that it was Walter who had Joseph exist in his world as a puppet to help Henry fulfill his role as the Receiver of Wisdom. Henry must know everything cuz he is supposed to do. For Walter, he may be just another toy he is playing with, just like the Cynthia mannequin or Eileen's Shabby Doll. One more question remained about this interesting hidden character : How could dead Joseph link to Henry to do such tasks as pushing the drawer (revealing the Pistol and the peekhole to Eileen's room) and delivering the pages of his Red Diary and some other stuffs via the entrance door ? **Found and submitted by Charles Lai : The voice saying "I'm always watching you !" that sometimes showed up when Room 302 is invaded can be Joseph's. And if it's true, there's an agreement with the above analysis that Joseph has never really left the "real" world. - CYNTHIA VELASQUEZ This woman gives me some doubts. She may be one of the mean girls mentioned in the red writings aka Young Walter's diary. She has a lot of tokens to bypass the stations and especially the special Commuter Ticket which Henry received in the game. So she could be someone working in the Subway, or a familiar passenger there. Walter used to pass this Subway to reach South Ashfield Heights apartment to meet his "mother" Room 302 and might have known Cynthia. Just look at the way how Cynthia acts towards Henry, we can conclude she loves acting foxily to the men, among whom Henry is not the only one. Maybe her fascinating "temptation" has made her become the "Temptation" victim in Walter's view. (Thanks to Vertigo200 for having added this info). According to justkeepwalking from the message board (thanks to him), the Cynthia mannequin that gave Henry the tokens was created by Walter in his twisted world. Walter spent a childhood which could be considered "unhappy" without parents, no gifts and toys. All his victims were his playing toys. In "Joseph's Letter", Joseph has described that Walter "locked me up in this room and played with me just like a toy" that led the journalist to the end of his "Despair". The Shabby Doll (which could be a toy of Eileen) and Cynthia mannequin may have the same meaning. - JASPER GEIN This guy used to walk around Wish House and knows someone in the orphanage. He was the one hiding the Rusted Bloody Key and showed it to Henry after receiving the Chocolate Milk from him. Currently I don't figure out why he was chosen as the "Source" victim. The word "Source" just reminds us of the Wish House - where Walter grew up and spent his childhood. But why Jasper ? (More info has been added by Vertigo200). Well, there are some little stuffs spotted by Charles Lai : Jasper wears a "Samael" T-shirt and keeps muttering about seeing the Devil. Maybe he is a fanboy of Silent Hill cult ? Besides, his surname is Gein - sounds related to Eric Gein who spoke in the radio trivia show in Silent Hill 2. Remember, James got on the elevator in Brookhaven Hospital and got stalked by this radio show. Finally, the big puzzle about Jasper is : Who was the "nosy guy" he mentioned in his memo ? There are many ideas about this guy's identity. Some say it's Walter Sullivan, who might have taken him around Wish House; others claim it's Joseph who was investigating the Wish House when he was still alive. - ANDREW DESALVO His identity is still pretty vague. But according to the text on the bloody shirt, he may be the warden of the Water Prison, also where Walter spent his childhood, located in Silent Hill. And in Young Walter's diary, Andrew was proved to be an evil guy who tortured the children in the prison and killed them by the fact that Walter claimed he had killed his friend Bob. He loved watching the kids through the peekholes in the Surveillance Room and mocked them. He controlled the disposal system throughout the Water Prison and did many bad things. Maybe that's why Walter called him the "Watchful Eye" (or "Watchfulness") and he became Walter's victim no. 18. - RICHARD BRAINTREE The "Chaos" victim. This may be the "scary guy" Walter mentioned in the red writings. We can relatively understand "Chaos" implies something disorder and rough. The artist in Room 202 described Richard to be an evil guy who is tough to children, as he had done to "the one that hangs around" - who is very young Walter Sullivan. Also according to the artist, he used to hook up other people in the apartment and made them become his slaves, or he would use violence against them (Mike is the best example as a victim of this guy). This was indeed an evil guy, just like a side reflection of Walter himself. Thanks to Charles Lai for his contribution. It's possible that Young Walter must have witnessed Richard's crime of skinning Mike. Walter did say that he would cleanse Room 302 - his "mother" from all dirts and evil and then he killed a neighbour Richard by electrocuting him to wash this evil. - EILEEN GALVIN When giving Henry the Shabby Doll, Walter was talking about Eileen. His speech may contain a deep jealousy when he spoke of seeing Eileen going happily with her mother. Walter didn't have a flesh-and-blood mother and his desire is all to meet "her". He envied Eileen of her happiness. Maybe that's the reason why he wants to kill Eileen by choosing her as the Mother Reborn. If you look at the Room 303 key of Eileen, it's attached with a doll that looks like the Shabby Doll which Walter gave you. So we can suspect the Shabby Doll is Eileen's, too. ***Another different idea submitted by Vertigo200 : The designation of Mother make perfect sense of Eileen that she acts in a motherly manner in Walter's view. Try to remember all events related to Eileen : She may be the kindest (along with Henry) of all Walter's victims. I'm not sure of Joseph's and other victims' characteristics, but since all Cynthia, Andrew and Richard were punished for their own evil, Eileen just seems to have no evil but her idealistic behaviours : She may be the only one who cares about Henry being shut in his room and asks Richard and the superintendent for help. One more event is that when you see Eileen get injured in her apartment, she said that Young Walter had tried to save her and told him to run away. During her journey with Henry, sometimes you also hear her muttering about poor Walter. Well, Mature Walter might have wanted to kill her, but the young one stopped him. In Young Walter's view, she would be a perfect mother whom he used to wish for. Maybe because of this, Mature Walter did not kill her directly but had a machine do it instead. - HENRY TOWNSHEND Despite being the protagonist of Silent Hill 4, Henry is the one whose profile is revealed the least. We really don't know anything about him but the fact that he has moved to this apartment Room 302 for two years. What I found making sense is that Henry has ever travelled to Silent Hill, proved by the fact that there are Silent Hill photographs that he took hanging around in his room. As the 21st victim - the Receiver of Wisdom, Henry was chosen for Walter to share his childhood and his "inner side" by taking him to the twisted world so that Henry "must" witness his bitterness via the deaths of the other victims before his own death. According to "Joseph's Letter", whoever lives in Room 302 after him will be the final victim no matter what. And maybe this is why Henry was chosen. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 10. WHAT HAPPENED TO MIKE ? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A bunch of people, including me, are wondering about this hidden character Mike. All the info in the game has claimed to us that Mike was skinned by Richard that sounded really terrible. You can figure out this event by examining all the paintings in Room 202 in the first trip to the Apartment World. Let me summarize this. First, I'll analyze the characters due to the proofs we have found in the game : MIKE A guy who lived in Room 301 and was extremely interested in porns. He claimed to everybody that he loved Rachael via his diary and tons of his love letters to her. The superintendent, Sunderland, is one of those who believe in this love. "That perverted stalker... He got what he deserved !" - the artist wrote about him. RACHAEL She was a nurse and lived in Room 106. According to the artist, she is his lover - "My beautiful darling. Lately she's been bothered by a stalker." This may be true. Since if you try accessing her lover's number in the phone in Room 106, it will link to the phone in Room 202. THE ARTIST There are not many info given about him. He was the owner of Room 202 and made a lot of paintings about other people in South Ashfields Heights apartment. RICHARD BRAINTREE This is one of Walter's victims. And according to his attitudes, he doesn't seem like a good person. What the artist wrote about him was : " Braintree, that prick. He's always yelling at kids. Especially that weird one that hangs around. But he took Mike into his apartment and peeled his skin off, so he's my hero." THE OWNER OF ROOM 205 He must be the one who recorded the "Skinned Mike Cassette" and you found this item in very Room 205. He may be also the second guy talking in the cassette beside Richard. According to the artist, "He's always shut in his room. It looks like he has lots of weird interests. I heard he tape- -recorded Mike getting beaten up by Richard". a) Here is my first theorized story : Rachael was the artist's lover. But recently she was stalked by Mike - the porn addict. He placed tons of love letters to her mailbox and even sent the superintendent a torn red paper with his loving words to her. The artist hated him because of that and wanted to give him a lesson. But later Richard has helped him do that by peeling off Mike's skin, with the witness of the guy from Room 205, who was tape-recording the scene. So the artist admired Richard and felt satisfied as he wrote. So the questions here are : - Is it really true that Mike was skinned alive by Richard ? How could such an action be accepted ? We must find out the true meaning of "skinning". In Mike's diary, he mentioned about his clothes taken away by someone. And in the "Skinned Mike Cassette", Richard and the other guy were also talking about some clothes. So we can understand that "skinning" here just means taking out Mike's clothes. And it has nothing to be worried. But in the next part of the cassette, the tape-recorder has mentioned a body. Again, this makes things grow more complicated. - If it's true that Mike was really "skinned" with its exact meaning, where is his body then ? This is not answered in the cassette. What we could hear is Richard's bad temper and the Room 205 guy's joking suggestion about wrapping some body. - Why did Richard beat up Mike ? Was there a private argument between them, or did Richard do this following the artist's request ? - Finally, did Mike really love Rachael ? Or did he just want to stalk her to satisfy his ridiculous interest ? **Comments** More than half of the players I know agree on this story if we understand the facts following their exact presentation. By the way, this theory seems to be so incomplete, as the above questions I wrote proved its disagreement with some other events. So read my second theory collected from a survey. b) Mike wasn't killed at all. "Skinning" just means that Richard beat him up and took away his bloody clothes and felt disgusted. Then the tape- -recording guy suggested they should use them to wrap a "body". The "body" here may imply the dead cat of the lady living in Room 102. According to her painting found in Room 202, she is a cat's lover and was very sad when her cat was away. The fact is that Henry has found the cat dead in the refridgerator when you examined it for a Torn Red Paper. And then maybe Richard bumped into this cat and got disgusted... **Comments** Unlike the first theory, this story seems a bit better since we don't have to face such unexplicable question about Mike getting "skinned alive" by Richard. It was just simply an argument between them and Mike lost his clothes to Richard. One question remained about this theory : Why all those stupid things appear in Walter's twisted world ? As I said above, Walter must have known people in the apartment via his trips, one of whom was Richard who caused a bad impression on him. I have also suggested a little theory that Walter might have witnessed what Richard did to other people, including Mike. So all those things that existed in his memory were rebuilt in the twisted world, too. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 11. THE HANGED PERSON & THE SKETCH ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In the final chapter of the game, you must trigger this hanged body in order to unchain Room 105 - your destination. So who is this hanged figure anyway ? Whenever you trigger the body, there shows a piece of a conversation (or an argument) between a man and a woman - whom I think to be Walter's parents. The argument was all about the two people's own prolems and about keeping the baby or not. I guessed the hanged person may be his parent, or may be his mother. When I first look at the body, I mistook it for Eileen Galvin, and I wonder if any other people feel the same way. Vertigo200 thought it was Walter's father cuz the arguing voice we heard was male and maybe it's the hanged one's. Besides, remember that before seeing the hanged one, you have had Henry examine the strange sketch in the 1F Hall which is supposed to be Walter's father. But in fact, it looks like a Pyramid Head that we saw in Silent Hill 2. Don't forget that we are in Walter's handy world. So maybe what Walter figures out about his father is that he was an evil one, too. There is also a theory that it was him who killed the mother and abandoned little Walter in Room 302. The meaning of the sketch may be that Walter's father was nothing but another sinner, just like James Sunderland who had been metaphorized into the Pyramid Head in Silent Hill. The twisted world must be a revision of Walter's childhood, so why could this hanged body appear as a part in his memory ? Beth Green thought that could be Walter himself via the long brown hair, wrapped in a blanket like a baby. Maybe Walter did realize his parents' harsh words even when he was still a baby. And they impressed his heart. Well, somebody may not believe. But I myself think Beth's idea can be right. It's in Walter's handy world and it's logical if we see his baby form there (like we have seen the Young Walter). About how a baby can hear sounds and understand them, that can exist, too. Anyone who loves detective films and may have seen the Italian movie "Mozart Assasino" will know an interesting fact that even a fetus can hear the sounds and react with them. In that film, a pregnant woman was killed by her husband with a shot. The baby in the fetus was somehow saved, but later grew up as a psychedelic serial killer because that sound of gunshot had influenced her life. Why can't we think that Walter is in the same case ? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 12. "RACHEL" or "RACHAEL" ? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thanks to Winniemoo for reminding me of this episode. In Silent Hill 2, when James encounters Laura in "Venus' Tears" bar, she told him about a "Nurse Rachel" who had given her the letter from Mary. Now in Silent Hill 4, you hear of a nurse named Rachael in Room 106 - South Ashfield Heights apartment. The two names just have a little typo. Could they be the same ? We don't have any clue about James and Mary living in the apartment. But since his father, Frank Sunderland, is the superintendent there, we can relatively accept the fact that Rachael might have some relation with Mary and had her letter, consuming that the two names implied the same person. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 13. THE GIANT WORM or... ? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thanks to all the members for all analysis on this "giant worm" because of this stupid question of mine. It's NOT a worm, it's a version of Walter's UMBILICAL CORD. Walter created the dark world in order to execute the 21 Sacraments to reunite with his "mother". As all people know, the umbilical cord is something standing for the bound relation between the mother and her baby. One of the memos - "Old Picture Book" also mentions this via a little story. We can relatively understand that this umbilical cord works like a path leading Walter to his mother throughout his crimes on the way, as we could see it connecting the worlds in his twisted dimension, metaphorically displayed as the unknown long spiral staircases which Henry and Eileen had to pass to reach the "flesh" - Room 105, where the true Umbilical Cord was kept. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 14. CURSED BUNNY ? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thanks to a lot of readers for having reminded me of this. As you know, Eileen has a stuffed Robbie bunny figure which can be seen through the peephole. After Eileen gets injured, there will be a certain time when you look through the hole, you'll see the bunny turn back his face and point his finger at you. Geez, scary, Eileen is not in the room, so how could the bunny turn back ? Now temporarily stop discussing about how the bunny turns back by himself, what does he mean by pointing at the peephole ? I think he may point at it to imply Henry and to inform him that the existence of the peephole is known. And the bunny may be controlled by some unknown force. Vertigo200 thinks that the bunny is in fact pointing at the back wall of Room 302, where you will figure out Walter's secret hideout later. Grublord and a few other people think that the bunny is pointing at you - Henry Townshend - the next victim right after Eileen. At this time Henry may not have realized his being the 21st sacrament yet (until reading Joseph's diary which lists the victims' names). And this is just a notification, just like the cases of Richard Braintree and Eileen Galvin. Remember, during the scenario in The Building World 1st time, if you look through the peekhole on the entrance door, you'll see a note telling you to check up Richard. And then you end up in The Building World by seeing Richard getting electrocuted. In the Apartment World, when you examine the window near the bookcase in the segmented room of Room 207, you'll see someone pointing at Eileen, and she indeed gets troubled after that. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 16. THE HOLE ? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Recently I have received a bunch of emails asking about this "hole" in Silent Hill 2 and they all wonder if it relates to the holes leading Henry to dark worlds in Silent Hill 4. In Silent Hill 2, when you have James examine the graphiti in Neely's Bar, it is said that there used to be a HOLE there. And you just can never do anything else with that hole in the game. Does it have any relation with Silent Hill 4 ? [~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~ ][~] B- FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs) [~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~][~ ][~] ....................................................................... .... * QUESTION : How do I save in this game ? ANSWER : Wow, it's true that a number of players can't figure out how to save in this game as this Silent Hill game is pretty deviant from its predecessors. I have also written this in the "General Tips" part before the main walkthrough. The orange notebook in the Living Room of Room 302, located near the sofa by the window, is the ONLY SAVE POINT throughout this game. Whenever you want to save, get in the returning holes to go back and use it to save. ....................................................................... .... * QUESTION : How can I use the Sword of Obedience ? ANSWER : Geez, I can't believe that a bunch of people haven't figured out how to use this item. So I'll answer EVERYTHING ABOUT IT here and I won't reply any more emails asking about this in the future. As you see, I have listed Sword of Obedience the "Key Items" section instead of the "Weapons" where it seems to belong. In fact, you use the Sword of Obedience just like you use other key item : Select it in the inventory and press the Action button when it's needed. The Sword of Obedience can be used when a ghost is COMPLETELY knocked down, lying on the ground. Many people have also complained to me that they can't use the sword even when the ghost has been knocked down (especially Cynthia Velasque ghost). You can use any melee weapon to defeat the ghost. If it's too hard, equip a SAINT MEDALLION or light up a HOLY CANDLE nearby to weaken them along. These are the possible reasons : - Henry wasn't standing really close to the body. - The ghost was not COMPLETELY knocked down. A completely unconscious ghost will lie on the ground pretty long and won't wake up soon after that and you can have Henry stamp on him/her. Besides, you won't hear the fearful music background anymore then. When you fail, think of those reasons. About Cynthia, I agree with you she is the most sucking ghost in the game. But that's why you must try to nail her as soon as possible. Use the Saint Medallion or the Holy Candle with you. Just be patient and do it more accurately, you'll succeed eventually. ....................................................................... .... * QUESTION : Where can I find the Stun Gun ? ANSWER : Well, it took me a very long time to figure it out, too. It's in the DEFAULT Cell 3 of 2nd floor (when you haven't turned this floor yet) - The Water Prison World (1st time). You must turn the floors in order to get into this room by using the hole. Check walkthrough Part 4 for how to get it and "Item List" for its info. ....................................................................... .... * QUESTION : The Rusted Bloody Key (or some item) was lost when I placed it in the Storage Box. ANSWER : At first, I thought you guys were doing something wrong. But these questions have come to me more frequently, I begin to think that this could be a popular glitch existing in some SH4 disc. First, you should restart from the nearest point where you have saved. If it still happens, exchange the disc to the game shop. ....................................................................... .... * QUESTION : I can't input the code at the panel in the Kitchen (Water Prison World) because Henry says it's too dark to see anything. Is there anything wrong ? ANSWER : Tons of people have taken this. Either of these reasons can cause the problem you mentioned : - You haven't turned the valve on the roof top yet. - Either of the cells you lined up doesn't have bloody bed. - You haven't watched the cutscene between Andrew DeSalvo and the kid. If you still don't understand or don't know what you were wrong at, check the whole walkthrough of mine at "Part 4 : The Water Prison World" in which I've told you to do the tasks following an acceptable order. ....................................................................... .... * QUESTION : The order of the rooms on Hospital 2F are written so confusingly. It's different from mine. ANSWER : I have told you in the walkthrough : The order of those rooms is RANDOM. You may have looked at other walkthroughs or guide images, right ? And you saw that most of their authors list the rooms in a fixed order. If you pay attention carefully, each of their guides has a different order, simply because it's supposed to be RANDOM. In the walkthrough, I can only tell you what's in those rooms. Got it ? ....................................................................... .... * QUESTION : Is there anyway to recover Eileen ? I have let her get damage so much (according the blood marks on her body). ANSWER : I'm not very sure, but there's a trick that works for me and some other players. Refer to "Secrets" section or the main walkthrough. This trick can be used to get rid of Eileen's blood marks. But I'm not sure if it can affect Eileen's speed in the final battle. ....................................................................... .... * QUESTION : What will happen if Eileen gets too much blood marks as well as damage ? ANSWER : The marks will grow darker and darker. Sometimes on the way, Eileen suddenly kneels down, uttering confusing things as if she were possessed. At times, she can even beat Henry with her equipped weapon, too. And of course, her walking speed in the final battle will be extremely fast. ....................................................................... .... * QUESTION : Is it really possible to wipe all demons in Room 302 clearly ? I remember that I have exorcised them all with the Holy Candles, but after the final battle in which I did save Eileen, I still get the "Mother" ending ? ANSWER : Just tell you one thing : I did get the best ending ("Escape") in my first time playthrough. Before that, I had also got worried as much as you about the true status of Room 302. However, your problem has really happened to a number of players. So it's better to wipe the demons AS SOON AS they come. Don't ignore them, since not all of them will return for you to exorcise. Generally, pay attention to any moments when strange phenomena show up or the screen going red. It's good to equip a Saint Medallion whenever you return to Room 302. When it runs out, then use the Holy Candles to exorcise the remaining demons. ....................................................................... .... * QUESTION : I have cleansed the Crying Children above the storage box, but they still keep returning ? ANSWER : It's true that some ghosts are really returning no matter if you have wiped them or not. Crying Children is one of those. Just exorcise them as usual unless you run out of exorcist artifacts (Holy Candles and Saint Medallions). They will be ended eventually. ....................................................................... .... * QUESTION : I couldn't defeat Walter Sullivan. I have followed your strategy : using the Umbilical Cord on the monster, impaling him with the spears, but Walter is still invulnerable. When the hell does he turn mortal ? ANSWER : There may be a few possible reasons : - Your game disc gets glitched there. - You have pierced the monsters with the spears, but not enough 8 of them. This reason is pretty popular. Make sure that you have got TOTALLY EIGHT spears and used them ALL on the monster. ....................................................................... .... * QUESTION : Can I kill the enemies without stamping on them ? ANSWER : If you mean the exact meaning of "stamping" here, the answer is "Yes" : Equip Henry with either the Chainsaw or the Pickaxe of Despair and press the Action button when the enemy is unconscious, Henry will do other things to end the enemy instead of stamping. Then, if your question means the action which you have Henry do to kill an unconscious monster, the answer is "No". I have tried many times and the results were all that the monsters were recovered when I returned. Why do you have to be lazy stamping on them when you have tried to defeat them ? ....................................................................... .... * QUESTION : How many endings are there ? Is there an UFO ending like previous Silent Hill games ? ANSWER : According to my knowledge and to this game Silent Hill 4 Japanese version, there are 4 official endings (bad, bad+, good, good+) and there's no UFO ending here. Refer to section "Ending Information" for more info. ....................................................................... .... * QUESTION : In the Red Diary it says there are 5 Swords of Obedience throughout the game. But I didn't find enough 5 of them. ANSWER : Check "Item List" section and find my writing about Sword of Obedience in "Key Items" part. I have listed all the 5 locations there. If you follow my entire walkthrough, you are reminded about them, too. ....................................................................... .... * QUESTION : Is there any relation between the superintendent and James Sunderland (Silent Hill 2) ? ANSWER : Read part A "Interesting/Plot Facts in Silent Hill 4 : The Room" for my theories. ....................................................................... ....
