He suffers through the years because of Marys death 3 years ago due to an unknown and fatal disease. He finds new hope when he recives a letter from her to meet at their "Special Place" in their favorite vacation town called Silent Hill. He then starts his search to find the answers that he longs for. Angela Orosco- Angela is indeed the 1st person James encounters in a lonely cemetery. She claims to be looking for her mother but she seems confused and disoriented. She has also come to Silent Hill to recapture something from her past. Eddie Dombroski- Eddie was caught at the wrong place at the wrong time. He keeps on blamming himself for the murders that suddenly pop-up around Silent Hill. He has a quiet personality but he also has a side that he can't control when he's angered. He doesn't live near or in Silent Hill and he keeps something to himself. James decides to give him some space. Laura- An 8 year old snotty little brat that doesn't like James very much. And somehow she knows Mary. Could she have the answers that James is seeking? Maria- A strange woman that has the same facial features as Mary, however her personality is completely different. She doesn't have any knowledge of Mary and is interested in James' search for his lost wife and decides to help him. Creatures: Patient Demon- These demons resemble patients at a metal institution wrapped in a flesh-like straight jacket, they have 2 methods of attack. Standing up-right and laying face down in the ground. When up-right they will stagger to any heat or light source and spew acidic fluid on James. When laying face down, they can move at high speeds to get away from James so he can't hit them but they can ram into James and cause a little damage. Giant Roaches- Sounding like an annoying windup toy running amok, these roaches are the size of a human foot and are yellowish in color. They dont cause much damage but if you are low on health and they keep attacking you, you will eventually die from them. Mannequins- What seems to be the legs of to fashion dummies swen together and annimated by some kinda voodoo ritual, Mannequins are pathetic creatures. They can only attack at very close range and attempt to kick at the face inflicting mild damage. Nurse Demons- These RN's are anything but heathcare providers. They scream and twitch in agony and carry pipes that they like to beat and drag on the ground. They make sure that the ones that are condemmed to hell are made comfortable in their individual pits of despair. Underhangers- They like to dangle from the wire mesh floors by suspending themselves by their large and powerful arms. Their sharp tendrils shoot out of their arms and into their victims feet that usually get stunned by them. They are pretty easy to avoid but they will chase you from one end to the other. . Doormen- Large and bulky creatures, Doormen appear to be evil doors that have spawned flesh and started to walk. They march up to their victims and attempt to suck them through their doorframe so they can drain the energy from their bodies. Weapons: Wooden Plank- A 2x4 that has nails at one end. Steel Pipe- A long shaft of bonded steel that has a greater range of attack. Great Knife- The weapon wielded by Pyramid Head during the 1st battle. A very heavy and powerful weapon that is hard to use. Chainsaw- Only avalible during a replay game. A rip-roaring device that is a little hard to use. If you stand over an enemy James will yell out a battle cry, its HILARIOUS! Hyper Spray- A can of aerosol spray only found in a replay game. The fumes will immobilize an enemy or a group of enemies however, the fumes are also dangerous to James. Handgun- An automatic firearm that holds a clip of 10 bullets. Shotgun- A six-shot auto-loading rifle that projects a wide cone of buckshot. Hunting Rifle- A powerful firearm that has some lag between shots which makes is slow to use. This firearm can penetrate through tissue, bone and internal oragans. Items: Apartment Gate Key Location- Near corpse at the north end on Martin Street.

Head to the white van and descend the stairs, follow the forest path until you come across a well and inside is a save point. Continue following the trail and you will hear something in the forest that you cannot see and it sounds like its comming for you. Dont worry about it cause nothing is gonna jump out. When you reach a gate you will enter the graveyard, walk forward a little and you will meet Angela. ~Cut Scene~ Exit through the west gate and continue to follow the path. Go west on Sanders to the intersection of Lindsey Street and James will find a gruesome sight. Since he won't proceed west, head north toward Vachss Road. Look for items on the east side if the street and what seems to be a cave in has completely cut-off the rest of the road. A monument that resembles a historical marker stands across from the entrance to Vachss Road. Examine it and James will record it as his 1st memo. The only remaining way to reach Nathan Ave. is to go northeast on Vachss Road. A patio on the right has 2 heath drinks and a save point. I would save your game if I were you because things are about to get ugly. Continue through the fence and north along the unfinished dirt path until you reach the construction zone at the end. You will start to hear a static noise that only gets louder located behind the barricade. James will climb into the tunnel by pressing "X" just in time to meet your 1st enemy. ~Cut Scene~ James will pick up the radio before he notices the monster nearby. When James sees a weird looking and threatning figure he will pull off the wooden plank from the barricade structure. After the short battle, exit the construction zone and head back to Lindsey Street avoid the patient demons roaming around. Go to the motorhome on the south side of Saul Street at the west end near a locked gate. Inside someone has left a note saying that they are waiting at Neely's Bar. James will then mark the next destination on his own map. There is also a save point located here. When you get to Neely's Bar there is another map with markings on it. James will copy the symbols onto his own map. Before you leave check the window for a strange message. At the north end of Neely's Street, there are some memo pages scattered around a corpse and each of the 6 pages have a useful tip for playing the game. The next destination is at the north end of Martin Street. There is another corpse that is holding the Apartment Gate Key. Exit the alley and head to the Wood Side Apartments, unlock the gate and go through the double doors behind it. Wood Side Apartments In the lobby things turned dark, grab the full map of the apt. building on the bulletin board next to the door. There is also a save point on the wall and a heath drink by the stairs. The door at the bottom of the steps is locked so head up to the 2nd floor and enter the laundry room next to the door you came out of. There is some kinda strange garbage stuck in the disposal chute. James will draw a circle on the map that locates the chute. Now check your map cause this is the only well lit place and find room 205. In 205 is a manniquin that has a flashlight embedded on the chest. When you take it, a new monster pops-up from the back. Simply wack it with the wooden plank until its dead and examine the clothes on the manniquin cause they look similar to mary's. Head to room 210 and James will find 2 boxes of handgun bullets in a seperate room but there are a few enemies that want your attention 1st. The only other room unlocked on this floor is room 208. There is an important memo on the table near the entrance which describes something about the clock in the next room. There are some markings on the wall giving the names of 3 different people in the room with the clock. Examine the clock on the side with the writing, after you've read it try and push the clock from the same side. Unfortinally the clock wont move no matter how hard James pushes it. Exit 208 and head up to the 3F, some bars are separating the corridor and a key is on the other side. As James tries to stretch for it a little girl steps on his hand and kicks the key outta reach then she runs off into the darkness. Now you'll have to go the long way around the get the key.Go to room 301 and the handgun is sitting in a shopping cart in the middle of the room. You might be asking yourself how it got there or why its there, but im sorry I dont have the answer to that. Return to the 2F and start heading back to room 208. James will hear a man yell, race toward the room and beyond the bars is a figure in red. The great Pyramid Head has spotted you.When you enter room 208 there is a freshly dead man sitting in the chair infront of the t.v. wearing a house robe. The key to room 202 is on the shelf, you might be guessing were you have to go to next. Check the kitchen in 202 for a health drink on the counter then enter the open bedroom to find a bunch of dead bugs on the bed and a hole in the wall with green slime surrounding it. James will stick his hand in the hole and obtain the clock key. (The moths go were you go but they are harmless). Go back to room 208 and use the clock key on the clock to open the glass frame. Clock Puzzle ******************************************************************************** ****************************************************************************** No matter what action level mode your in the answer is always 9:10. ******************************************************************************** ****************************************************************************** You will hear a loud thump and the nail has been removed, you can now push the clock aside to discover a hole in the wall leading into room 209. There is a save point on the pushcart and a heath drink in the kitchen. Theres nothing more in this room so exit 209 and enter the north stairwell, at the top of the stairs you'll find handgun bullets. Walking down the 3F corridor, head south and enter room 307. ~Cut Scene~ Now after the scene were James finds Pyramid Head molesting manniquin monsters, go back in the closet and pick up the courtyard key. Exit 307 and move south to the corner and head west toward the bars across the corridor. Pick up the fire escape key and enter room 303. You'll find a heath drink, 1st aid kit and handgun bullets scattered in different areas. But beware cause a patient demon awaits in the bedroom. Exit 303 and run to the last door at the east end of the corridor and use the east stairs to go all the way down to the 2nd floor lobby. Since the north door in the lobby is wide open run down the hallway and at the end pick up the canned juice (what the hell are you gonna need this for?) Remember the garbage chute? BINGO! go outside and cross the walkway to the double doors you went in 1st and head back up to the 2nd floor laundry room and force the canned juice in the trash chute and the werid lookin garbage will be in the incenerator. Go back down stairs and exit the lobby then head toward the incenerator and pick up the coin [old man] and read the interesting article. Now head back to the west lobby and use the courtyard key on the door next to the stairs. Go to the pool area, there are 3 patient demons roaming around in the pool and it might seem scary but you have to jump in with them to obtain the coin [snake]. Use the northwest stairs to get outta the pool and go to the east door of the courtyard area cause you havent searched this place yet. Check your map and locate room 101, in the kitchen is another corpse. You'll find hangun bullets on the chair in the corner. Follow the sound of gagging and open the bathroom door to meet Eddie. ~Cut Scene~ You are now ready to leave Wood Side but in apartment 104 there is a memo and some more handgun bullets but there are a few enemies in this room as well. To exit Wood Side head back up to the 2nd floor by the north stairs in the west side lobby. At the west end use the fire escape key on the blue door. The fire escape has been removed so James will jump over into the next building. Blue Creek Apartments Move through the bedroom and into the bathroom. There is something clogging the toilet so make James stick his hand in the bloody mess and he will pull out a wallet with a combination code in it, write it down and go to the living room. There is a safe and the combination that you copied from the wallet goes to it. Combination Safe Puzzle ******************************************************************************** ******************************************************************************** *** Heres and example (code is not always the same) 6>>15<<9>>2 >>=right <<=left Go either left or right to get to the 1st number then follow the arrows either left or right to open the safe (go right for 15 go left for 9 go right for 2). You will get 4 boxes of handgun bullets. ******************************************************************************** ******************************************************************************** *** New monsters are roaming around the corridors but save your ammo and use the wooden plank. Examine the note on the door just pass the exit sign and go through the door that heads to the stairway and pick up the blue creek apartment map on the floor. View it to get oriented and keep in mind that you entered the building through room 203. Use the stairs and run down to the 1st floor. Enter the laundry room to get a 1st aid kit, then go to room 105 to find a save point. In the livingroom there is a cabinet thing that has 5 round indentions for the coins that you found but you need 1 more for the puzzle so exit the room and go to 109 since its the only other open door in this corridor. Theres a kids teddy bear on the floor. There are some handgun bullets on the couch and go through the white door to find Angela laying on the floor. ~Cut Scene~ After the scene check the torn photo in the middle of the room then go to the table and pick up the knife and the coin [prisoner]. Now return to room 105 were the coin puzzle is. There is another save point in the south alcove inside this apartment. Three-Coin Puzzle ******************************************************************************** ******************************************************************************** *** Heres the answers to the coin puzzle: Easy: old man,empty,snake,empty,prisoner Normal: empty,old man,prisoner,empty,snake Hard: empty,old man,empty,snake,prisoner ******************************************************************************** ******************************************************************************** *** After you solve the puzzle you will obtain the lyne house key. Head back to the 2nd floor and use this key on the door to room 209. You might want to turn up you t.v. because as soon as you enter this apartment there will be some bizzare whispering! Exit through the balcony and cross over to room 208 to find handgun bullets, a save point on the wall and the apartment stairway key on the bed. Save your game because there is a boss fight comming up! Return to room 209 and use the apartment stairway key on the blue door to the north but be sure to equip your handgun before you enter because James has caught up with Pyramid Head! Pyramid Head Raise the handgun and start firing and count off 10 shots everytime to save the trouble and time for James to reload the gun. Pyramid Head wields the great knife so be sure to stay out of its reach because one perfect attack is all it takes to kill James. Dont let PH reach the boarders of the room always be sure that he stays in the middle. After you've fired 35 shots (50 in hard mode) a siren will go off in the distance and PH will retreat he will walk downstairs in the water. Dont follow him to close because he can turn around and strike quickley, just wait until hes all the way down the stairs and he will open the door to drain the water. Head downstairs and enter the same door at the bottom but dont worry because PH is gone. West South Vale When you exit the apartment head west to find a 1st aid kit near a fence. Now head north in the alley and James finally catches up with Laura. ~Cut Scene~ Continue up the alley and look for a stairwell on the left. There are 2 boxes of handgun bullets here. If you head north you'll finally reach Rosewater Park. Search for items on the patios,alcoves and gazebos. On the waterfront look for a heath drink next to a viewer then head west and James will encounter Maria. ~Cut Scene~ Head south and search along the right as you exit the park but watch out for a mannequin. Take it out to get the heath drink that its guarding near the main building. There are more items along the west south vale area to search for but there is also a save point located on the trunk of a car in the parking lot of jack' inn. At the texxon gas station the steel pipe is stuck in the hood of a running car. When you take it out the car shuts off. Search around the service building for handgun bullets and 3 health drinks, another health drink is by the curb infront of pete's bowl-a-rama across the street. There are several billboards along the roadside as you run northwest on the north side of nathan ave. Toward the lake view hotel a 1st aid kit lies at the blocked-off boat dock. The Silent Hill Historical site is locked so continue the long run up nathan ave. The route will eventually end because the bridge has collapsed. Theres a map near a corpse, a few steps away indicates that you missed something at pete's bowl-a-rama. Grab the handgun bullets and run back to the bowling alley. Maria hates bowling so she wont go into the building with you. Go through the 1st door on the left. ~Cut Scene~ Head through the door that Laura went through and exit the bowling alley. Maria isan't in sight but after taking a few steps she will appear and tell James that she couldn't catch the girl. Run behind pete's and enter the fenced door that takes you to the alley then head up the alley and Maria will tell you that the girl went through a small gap between two walls. Go to the door that seems to be locked but Maria uses her skills to pick at it unlocking the door to heaven's night. If your wondering why Maria knows how to get in the club its because shes a stripper. There is a 1st aid kit sitting on a table now exit heaven's night and run south on Carroll Street. Maria will spot Laura entering the hospital, enter the doors. Brookhaven Hospital On the right side of the enterance doors take the map of the hospital located on a bulliton board. Check your map and head to the reception office. Theres a save point located on the desk and next to it is a memo there is also a heath drink on the desk were Maria is standing. In the connecting room you'll find a doctors journal next to a typewriter along with the purple bull key. Exit this room and enter the mens locker room to find a blood stained lab jacket. James will pull out the examination room key from the pocket. Now enter the womens locker room to find a teddy bear sitting on the table and the bent needle lies inside. Check the locker to get the powerful shotgun and remeber to save this baby for the boss fights. Now enter the paitents wing but be careful because demon nurses are walking around. Go into the examination room 3 and on the mattress is a 1st aid kit. Further back in the room is a typewriter and a piece of carbon which reveiles a four-diget code is stuck. Write this code down for later use! The medical room marked M2 on the map has a small nightstand. Theres a drawer that is open and it contains the lapis eye key. Shotgun shells sit on top of the nightstand, now exit M2 and enter M3. There is a nurse in this room so knock her to the ground with the steel pipe. There are handgun bullets and a health drink in the back corner. In room M6 theres shotgun shells and another health drink. Return to the 1st floor and unlock the door to the examination room and inside you'll find some lab results on the shelf near the door. Go into the doctors lounge and get the shotgun shells out of the sink. There is a code for the 3rd floor patient wing on the bulliton board. The code is 7335 in easy and normal action modes but in hard mode its 1328. Head up to the 3rd floor and be ready to kill some nurses in the corridor. Theres a 1st aid kit on the floor across from the elevator. Enter the 4-digit code in the panel to unlock the paitents wing then enter it and then enter S3 but watch out for the nurses. ~Cut Scene~ The roof key is on the table beside the bed. Dont run up to the roof just yet just keep it in your inventory for later use. Exit S3 and go into the shower room, there is something stuck in the drain thats surrounded by some type of green goo. The bent needle wont reach it alone so James has to find a combination tool. Exit the room and fight your way down to S11, the room is well lit and it contains a save point and a heath drink. The last room that is open in the corridor contains a weird box and alot of locks on it. Exit this room and head up to the roof, theres a diary in a cornor that you can read if you want. Head back to the door you came from and someone or something is holding the door tight so you cant go back through. When you try the other door on the roof Pyramid Head appears and knocks James off the edge and he crashes through the 3rd floor special treatment room. Heal yourself and read the note outside the cell then enter the door that the blood trail leads to. There is a code on the wall of the cell so write it down for later use. Now your ready to return to room S14 and unlock the strange box. "Louise" Puzzle ******************************************************************************** ******************************************************************************** ** Here are the answers to Lousie: 1] Combine the purple bull key and the lapis eye key together 2] For the push button lock, use the code you got from the piece of carbon paper 3] For the turn lock use the code you got from the wall in the special treatment room ******************************************************************************** ******************************************************************************** *** Take the hairs from the box and go back to the 3F shower room. Combine the bent needle with the hairs and James will take the elevator key out of the drain pipe. Be sure to save you game after this because theres a boss fight comming up and its not Pyramid Head this time.Go into the elevator on the 3F and go down to the 1F which is the only floor you havent searched yet. Go into room C3 to get shotgun shells and handgun bullets. Equip the shotgun and go into C2. James finds Laura playing with teddy bears. ~Cut Scene~ Hangers Two hangers will drop from the ceiling in normal mode and one is directly behind James. My strategy is to keep running in two corners on opposite sides on the room and shoot 1 to 2 shots from the shotgun or until one gets close to you. If one attacks the monsters feet will try and strangle James to death! Keep following this routine until you have killed them all. Nightmare Hospital If you check your map you will notice that you are in the garden area and that the map has no markings at all. Head through the double doors to enter the corridor and there will be a save point on the wall and shotgun shells. Back in C2, Laura isan't there but a nurse is and a 1st aid kit. When you move to the back of the room you'll hear a loud crashing sound comming from next door so equip the handgun and go check it out. In C1 a nurse is making all the comotion, start shooting as soon as you enter the room. There are handgun bullets and a health drink in this room as well. Now take the elevator up to the 2F and kill all the enemies in this area. In room M4, James will be surrounded by nurses so try using the strafing button. There are shotgun shells and another health drink in this room. Now head to room M6, there is strange artwork here. Examine the painting to get the dry cell battery and the basement storeroom key. Theres a memo nearby, handgun bullets and a 1st aid kit. Now head to the 2nd floor dayroom, there is a fallen fridge which seems to be hard for James to lift. Return to the elevator and go up to the 3rd floor. There appear to be more enemies here and when you have bashed and stomped on them all, examine the 3D painting of the woman next to the elevator. If you go back to room S3, Maria is no longer there and whatever she had wrong with here required alot of pills. Since room S11 is the only other room that James can enter, go there and pick up the handgun bullets and the ampoule on the nightstand. The save point you knew is now gone but there is a poem about the lady of the door on the bed. Near the special treatment room, prepare to take on some nurses. Ones in the room and one is just around the corner from the elevator. Enter the storeroom and pick up some handgun bullets along with shotgun shells and a 1st aid kit on the shelf. Now enter the stairway close to the storeroom enterance, the save point has moved here somehow. Descend the stairs to the basement level. All the doors along the stairway are screwed up so you can open them, however James can unlock the bottom door with the basement storeroom key. In the back of the room there are some shotgun shells. Push the shelf aside to find a small hole with a ladder, but as you try to climb Maria shows up and shes pretty angry. ~Cut Scene~ Now you can climb down the ladder which lead into the basements, basement. (kind of confusing). The copper ring is sitting in a puddle of blood. Head back up to the 2rd floor and into the dayroom once again but before the elevator doors open on the 2nd floor a message or foresay a type of quiz appears to be playing to see how much you know about Silent Hill. Return to the dayroom and examine the fridge and Maria will help you open it to obtain the lead ring. Now go back up to the 3rd floor and return to the storeroom. A mysterious yet beautiful box has appeared here. Another puzzle this is and you will receive an awesome bonus prize! Trick or Treat Box ******************************************************************************** ******************************************************************************** ** Examine the box and there are 9 buttons on a panel. Each one lets you choose an answer to each question asked by the voice in the elevator. If you input the wrong answers, a trap will spring that will reduce James' health to red status. The answers are for all riddle difficulties. 1st colum: 1 2 {3} 2nd colum: {1} 2 3 Answer is 313 3rd colum: 1 2 {3} ******************************************************************************** ******************************************************************************** *** Combine the copper and lead ring together and locate the door with the 3D woman. Use the ring on the hand to unlock the door. Descend the stairs to find a blue memo on the ground telling you about a key then continue to run down the stairway. As soon as you reach the bottom, James is in an area that doesnt appear to be on the map. When you run around a few corners Pyramid Head suddenly appears and chases you and Maria. Dont try to fight him just keep running until you reach an elevator and a scene will commense. ~Cut Scene~ Your back on the 1st floor and the only door that is open is the directors room. Theres a map along with the hospital lobby key on the desk. Laura will run by the window heading south and if you check your map there are new markings on it. Near the exit doors, a save point is posted and James will use the hospital lobby key to let himself out. Dark South Vale There are items located south on Carroll, east on Rendell and south on Munson. Find the gate on Saul Street and the wrench along with the letter that you are looking for are in the East South Vale, and this is the only way to get there. New enemies are around called Underhangers. Dont stop and try to shoot them just keep running from the enterance all the way to the exit and also try to avoid the gaps the in floor since James will be stopped by the edges. Get to Neely's Bar once more to see something interesting. The letter and the wrench is on the pourch of the house next to Gonzales Mexican Resturant on Lindsey Street. Go west on Katz and run all the way down to the door that is now unlocked. Head to Rosewater Park and find the statue of the praying woman in the west section of the park. Go behind it and examine the loose dirt and James will dig to find a small bolted box. Use the wrench to open the box and obtain the old bronze key. This is the key to the Silent Hill Historical Society but before you enter, there are new items in the park and other places along the way to the museum. Silent Hill Historical Society Enter the museum and there is a save point just inside. The next few areas arnt on the map but it doesnt really matter anyway. There are some notes and photos to look at especially the one of Pyramid Head. After you have examined all the photos, enter the hole through the wall revealing a secret corridor that seems to go down a hell of a long way and what appears to be some kinda chanting in the background you will reach a door. Read the note about a prisoner on the desk that is dated 1820 and grab the 1st aid kit then proceed through the next door. Patients and possibly roaches are roaming around in the hallway. Move through the open gate and then turn left around the corner and then enter the 1st door you encounter. (I hate the music in this part because it has the sound from the chick off the grudge) There are handgun bullets in this small room and 3 paintings. Exit to the hallway and proceed through the door beyond this room. James will come face to face with a huge hole in the ground just like the one in the painting back at the museum. Examine the hole and James will jump in and then land at the bottom of a well. Keep examining each inch of the well until James says something different and use the steel pipe to hit away at the bricks to reveal a door. Enter the door to find a sewer passage. There are some patients here so use the steel pipe to bash them. Since both ends of this section are sealed off, find the alcove in the middle and go through the door on the right. At the back of the short corridor, there is a room that seems to be a connecting hallway but it heads straight down into the darkness. Go back to the previous door and enter the small room. The spiral-writing key in the back corner but as soon as you pick it up your flashlight goes out. Use the dry-cell battery to get your only light source going again but as soon as you do huge amounts of roaches appear in the room! However they wont attack you. Dont try to kill them because more will reappear. Unequip whatever weapon your using and approch the panel next to the door. Roach Trap ******************************************************************************** ******************************************************************************** * There should be 2 or 3 random numbers lit up on the panel. All you have to do is press the buttons different ways until the door unlocks. For example {1} 2 3 1 2 3 4 {5} 6 The answer would either be: 4 5 {6} The answer would either be: {7} 8 9 157 7 {8} 9 686 517 868 715 OR 688 751 866 571 886 175 668 ******************************************************************************** ******************************************************************************** * Once your free from the trap, use the spiral-writing key on the gate in the weird up-right hallway and jump down into the darkness. Toluca Prison Your location is now in a messed up cafetera where Eddie has struck again. ~Cut Scene~ Search the room for 2 health drinks, the tablet of gluttonous pig and a save point. Follow Eddie into the corridor and head upward. There are some patients in this hall so bash them when you get the chance. Collect the handgun bullets along the way and pick up the map of the prison on the desk. From where the map was located, head south and enter the east door in the middle of the corridor then enter the bathroom/shower area. Move into the open shower room in the northwest corner and get the tablet of the seductress. Exit back into the corridor and move south to the bottom door which is the bottom prison row. Inside the 1st cell with the open door, take the handgun bullets. There are alot of black magic stuff and books inside the 9th cell. Take the wax doll and continue into the east corridor at the end of the prison row. There are some handgun bullets on a table along the way. When you reach a pair of double doors and enter the west ones. As soon as you get inside start firing or James will be attacked quickley. Grab the rifle shells in the small room before you go back to corridor. For now, ignore the double doors leading to the large area and move north to the top row of the prison cells and enter the door. All the cells in this area are closed and you have to open them. Enter the 1st cell to find 3 paintings. All you have to do is examine all the doors here to find the unlocked cells. In one cell is the tablet of the oppressor so make sure you dont miss it. The door will get stuck when you try to get out of the cell but no worries, just keep examining the door until James gets it open. Once your free of the cell go back to the top cell block to the east corridor and go through the double doors that lead to the large area. In the middle, there is a scaffold of which 3 nooses hang and at the bottom is 3 square indentions to put the 3 tablets you found in. Combine each tablet and use all of them or you can just put them in seperatly whichever you prefer and i dont think it matters which order you put them in. You will hear a sound of someone being executed, return to the double doors and the horseshoe will appear on the handles. Go back inside and cross the north prison block and unlock the door leading to the west corridor. Go through the 2nd door from the top of the west corridor. In this room, theres a 1st aid kit on the side and another item is visible on the civilian side. Go back to the corridor and go through the top door. You'll end up in another visiting room but its demolished. Cross over to the civilain corridor and take out the 2 patients that are roaming around here. Enter the lower visiting room from the civilian corridor and James will obtain the lighter on this side. Once you go back to the civilian corridor, another patient will appear so watch it. Now go to the women's restroom and knock on the closed stall door cause as soon as you try to leave something happens. Theres a save point located in the men's restroom and across the hall is the front office where a patient is waiting. Collect the 1st aid kit, ampoule and the health drink that are scattered around the room then read the magazine on the desk for something interesting and the diary on the bookshelf above. The hunting rifle is in the cabinet behind the office and there are also shotgun shells, 2 boxes of rifle shells and handgun bullets located here as well. Exit the office and go through the south gate. You'll see a floor hatch that has no handle. Stand on it and combine the wax doll,horseshoe and lighter to create a handle for the trapdoor, lift it and jump into the darkness. Walk or run down the corridor and through 2 sets of double doors and James will find all the prisoners that used to live here. Continue through the unmapped area until you reach the chasm at the end and leap into the darkness once again. You end up in some kinda mine shaft and to get out, move to the end and open the door to discover another hole in the ground. Leap into it and at the bottom get in the elevator and pick up the 1st aid kit, rifle shells,handgun bullets and shotgun shells in each of the elevators corners. The elevator will start to travel down on its own which seems to take a while. When it finally reaches the bottom, exit and use the save point on the wall before entering the door next to it. The Labyrinth Directly across from were you are, a door is being blocked by wire and a ladder is visible from behind the barricade. Ignore this for now and head north and follow the corridor. Be sure to eliminate any enemies you see. Head east from the enterence and fight your way to the fork. Once there, move to the top fork to find ladders on both sides. It doesnt matter which ladder you choose just be ready to do some fast moving below. Underhangers are here so that means that you have to run around fast. Pyramid Head is also patrolling the circle so watch out for him. When you get to the central room in this circle, James will pick up the great knife and 2 boxes of shotgun shells. Exit this room and return to the upper level. Go back to the fork and head south to the ladders where the floor between has been ripped out. Climb down and make your way through the tunnel to the other ladder. I recommend using the steel pipe for this part if your running low on ammunition. After climbing out of the tunnel you'll stumble apon a cube with faces on each side. You have to use the cube in order for the square room to move and align them. If you check your map, James has already sketched out the path. Rotating cube and room puzzle ******************************************************************************** ******************************************************************************** * The answers to this puzzle works on both easy and normal mode. The cube will rotate in the way you move the joystick or by pressing the D-pad. When you examine the cube notice that the face has blue eyes. Some of the faces are upside down. Either rotate the cube upward or downward until the right-side-up face has red eyes. Now turn it either left or right to get the upside down face. When you enter the rotating room the exit is open. On hard mode, the code is randomized. I recommend that you examine the steel cube room using the look control then search high up on the walls and try to spot two doorways directly across from each other then count the number of times and directions you need to rotate the face cube. And return to the previous room to do so. This does take more time but theres really no set solution in hard mode. ******************************************************************************** ******************************************************************************** * When your finally able to cross the rotating room you'll find Maria on the other side of jail bars. ~Cut Scene~ After Maria is done talking in riddles, return to the rotating cube room and notice that the breaker box is open and something is inside. Examine it to obtain the wire cutters. Head back to the enterance of the Labyrinth and save your game then use the cutters to snip the wires leading to another ladder then descend. There are two ladders here that you can climb, the second ladder from this chamber leads to a dead end but the first ladder leads to a path that continues through the Labyrinth. Keep moving through the corridors and tunnels and find the exit for each tunnel. Fight off the monsters until you reach a tunnel where the path splits again. Going straight will lead you to another dead end and going right will take you to the ascending ladder. In the corridor above, take out two patients before you come across some hangun bullets by the door. Climbing down the next ladder the path splits again. Going left will take you to the exit ladder but you'll miss out on some items. Going into the multi chamber means running into Pyramid Head again. Be sure not to follow him and make sure hes not following you. When you reach a square room look for and ascending ladder. 2 boxes of handgun bullets are at the end of this short hallway. Climb back down the ladder and make sure Pyramid Head isant blocking the way towards the exit ladder. If he is then just make him follow you away from it. Climb up the ladder and James can read a partially-legible newpaper on the floor. ~Cut Scene~ Doorman Since this room is so small you'll only be able to get off one or two blasts from the shotgun. Even though the shotgun gives off delays between each shot, it is the best weapon to use in this battle. After a couple of shots the doorman should fall to the ground to give you some time to run to the opposite side and shoot again. If you do manage to get into the doormans grasp, wiggle the movement controls and you should be able to break free. Remember that the shotgun only holds 6 shells so count off 6 then reload using the menu instead of making james do it. ~Cut Scene~ Pursuing Angela into the next corridor, you'll stumble across two unique rooms. In the first room, six men have been hanged for different crimes and their sins written on a piece of paper on their faces. In the second room there are six empty nooses hanging from the ceiling and clues by the enterance. Now you have to solve this puzzle in order to get the key for the handcuffs that are locked onto the exit door. Free the innocent man puzzle ******************************************************************************** ******************************************************************************** * Easy Mode: The kidnapper Normal Mode: The Arsonist Hard Mode: The Counterfeiter Determine which noose the innocent man hangs from then go to the room with the empty nooses. Find the noose that the innocent man was hung from and have James pull on it to release the body. Return to the room with the hanged men and the key of the persecuted will replace where the innocent man was. Use this key on the door bound with handcuffs. ******************************************************************************** ******************************************************************************** After unlocking the handcuffs, head through the door and down the tunnel, go past the gate for now and keep going straight until you come across another door that leads to Maria's cell. ~Cut Scene~ Ok, now remember the gate you passed by a while ago? its unlocked so go back and head to the final corridor of the labyrinth. Collect the 1st aid kit and continue on. Oh great, another graveyard. No worries though. Theres a save point on one of the gravestones and 3 boxes of shotgun shells scattered around the markers. Go check out the three open graves in the back of the cemetery and theres an ampoule in between two of them. If you read the markers inscriptions, they might creep you out especially the one that has James' name on it. When your ready, jump down into your own grave. Equip the shotgun, reload, and make sure your heatlh is full. Run through the long corridor and at the end James confronts Eddie for the final time. Eddie As soon as the scene is over, raise your gun and start blasing eddie. This is a western style draw boss fight and theres really no way to escape from the bullets so i'd just stand my ground and keep shooting. Remember to count to 6 and reload in the menu because it saves time. Also if you feel your controler vibrate that means that James' health is getting low so take a small break and heal yourself and if you need to reload then do so. When eddie is about to die he will run into the next room. This is also a good time to reload or heal yourself before fighting again. Before you leave this room, collect the rifle shells and shotgun shells in this room. After 8 to 10 shotgun blasts, Eddie will be finished. ~Cut Scene~ Outside the warehouse, a save point is located on a nearby barrel. Continue along the pier until you find a rowboat. Hop in and row across Toluca Lake towards the shimmering light. Lake view hotel Once to the other side of the lake, equip the shotgun and use it until the end of the game. run up into the courtyard and head west toward the water fountin to pick up the "Little Mermaid" music box. Now enter the front doors leading inside the hotel. Inside, find the map of the hotel (for guests) on the directory to the left and notice that mary and james' room is marked "waiting for you." Enter the restaurant and move to investigate the piano. James will encounter Laura again and she tells him about her relationship with mary. Laura will give james a letter from mary then she'll run off again. Examine the table to obtain the fish key. Exit the restaurant but beware for the doormen that have filled the corridor however they are not as tough as the previous boss. Head all the way down to the 1st floor corridor to the west then go through the last door on the south side. If you veiw the map, notice that the area behind the door is grayed out. Inside there are 2 mannequins and also 3 boxes of handgun bullets and rifle shells. Now return to the middle of the corridor and descend the steps to level b1f, mannequins roam here outside the "venus tears" bar. Search the open elevator for a can of thinner then return to the 1st floor. enter either set of double doors which lead into the lobby and check the front desk. The managment has left a note for James. Go behind the counter and search the mail slot for the key to room 312. Check out the large music box in the middle of the lobby and place the "little mermaid" music box in the slot for the princess who spoke no words. There are 2 more music boxes you need to find. Theres a save point on a table in this room as well. Now head up to the 2nd floor and enter the west door first. Search the cloak room and grab the 1st aid kit, 2 boxes of shotgun shells, and 2 boxes of handgun bullets. Theres a breifcase in the back corner. Use the fish key to unlock it to get the key to room 204. Head to the reading room were 2 boxes of handgun bullets are on the table outside and inside are 2 boxes of shotgun shells and a health drink. Now head to room 204 but some doormen are blocking the way to your destination. Once you've taken them out, unlock 204 and look on the desk for the employee elevator key. A strange hole in the wall leads into room 202. Theres a suitcase with a turn lock thats located in the 2nd room. Photos are scattered here and theres one that has a black X over it. Use the thinner to remove the X to get the suitcase combination code. Unlock the case to obtain the "cinderella" music box. Now cross the 2nd floor to the east side and pick up the health drink and rifle shells outside the elevator. Go further back in the hall and the door that you use the elevator key is used here. Theres 2 health drinks in the small janitor room and a save point on the wall. Before you enter the elevator, put all your items in the storage box since there is a weight limit and so the alarm doesnt sound off. Ride down to the 1st floor and grab the map of the hotel (for employees) on the corkboard then travel down to the pantry and pick up the "snow white" music box on the shelf then enter the office and look in the open safe to get your videotape and a can opener. The last room to look in is the employee lounge where 2 boxes of rifle shells sit on top of a fridge. Go through the blue door in front of the office and head downstairs into the basement. You'll have to take the long way around because the elevator doesnt work anymore. Go down through the basement but beware of 2 mannequins that will try and beat you up. Since you have no weapons on you, slip by the 1st monster and stop in the light to look at your map and point out the boiler room then run towards it. The bar key is hanging on the broiler valuve and a 1st aid kit is around the corner of the tank. Now check your map and find the pathway towards the kitchen. Theres another mannequin blocking your path so get away from it. There are 3 health drinks in the kitchen and a large can sits on the counter. Use the can opener to open the can and take the light bulb from it. In the bar, James cant seem to see clearly so insert the light bulb into the lamp for some light then exit the bar and head back up through the 2nd floor lobby. There are some mannequins in here that want to box you but just avoid them and go in the elevator room to get your weapons back. Return to the hotel lobby and place the "snow white" box in the slot that says "the princess who awoke from death" and the "cinderella" box in the slot that says "the princess who fled at midnight." Play the music box and it will play correctly and give you the hotel stairway key. Head up to the 2nd floor and use the stairs infront of the cloak room to reach the gate on the 3rd floor. Open the gate and cross the corridor and unlock room 312. Theres a VCR already connected and hooked up to the t.v. so put in the videotape and see what it plays. ~Cut Scene~ NIGHTMARE HOTEL Step out of room 312, things arent the same. At the east end of the corridor, a save point is tacked onto the door of room 313. Head down to the 2nd floor and check the reading room again and a pair of headphones is sitting on the table. You can listen to the recording if you want but it only effects the ending of the game. Enter the west corridor, rooms 207 and 204 are warp doors if you step into one you come out the other. room 202 is a warp door that transfers you over to room 219. There are 2 boxes of handgun bullets are at the top of the east second floor hallway. Room 219 warps over to 220 but if you enter 220, you'll end up in 207 again and room 212 warps you back to 202. You can avoid all this by just going to 219 ti the hall outside the elevator. There are 2 ampoules sitting on the table. Get in the guest elevator and ride it down to the basement. When the doors open again, the elevator fills with water. Paitents are in this hall and they like to hid underwater so be careful. Enter the "venus tears" bar and collect the 5 health drinks on the shelf. In the kitchen are 2 boxes of shotgun shells, 2 boxes of rifle shells and a 1st aid kit by the fridge. Head towards the employee stairs and James incounters Angela for the last time. ~Cut Scene~ Dont touch the flames unless you want to inflict some damage. Turn around and exit through the only door and James will end up on the employee stairs. Go up to the 1st floor and notice that eveything has been completely burned. strange huh? Find the restrooms where 2 ampoules sit in the back corner of the hall. In a small alcove near the managers office lay 2 boxes of rifle shells. Now head to the east door marked on the map and exit. Run the entire corridor length and beware of the underhangers and the tight corners. Go through another door to find a total of 9 save points. Well apparently someone or something wanted you to really save your game this time. Before you go through the next set of doors, equip the rifle and heal yourself if needed. ~Cut Scene~ Pyramid Head Duo Pick two corners of the room diagonal from each other then keep running to them when the PH's get close. You'll only get at least 2 shots with the rifle but i recommend you use it for this battle. The good thing is that even though you only shoot at one PH, both of them inflict the same amount of damage. Take caution because the PH duo are using spears instead of great knifes which make them faster moving and faster at attacking. Run at the 2 corners constanly through out this battle until the PH duo impail themselves. In normal and easy action mode it takes 10 to 12 shots before the PH's give up. However in hard mode takes 70 if you've been saving up your rifle shells. If you havent then switch to the handgun. Keep in mind that the PH's are much faster in hard mode so take extreme caution in this boss fight. Pyramid eggs ******************************************************************************** ******************************************************************************** * Ok this puzzle is very easy. It shouldnt even be a puzzle at all. Check both PH's for a different type of egg and place them in the doors nearby. And it doesnt matter which door you pick so choose a door and enter the next room. ******************************************************************************** ******************************************************************************** * Head south and exit the lakeside entrance and instead of the docks you'll find a long corridor filled with horrible memories. you can either run all the way down to the end without listening to the whole conversation or you can listen to the conversation. This only affects which ending you recive in the game. Head up the staircase all the way to the top and find a figure either sitting on the bed or standing at the window. James has finally found Mary.....or has he? ~Cut Scene~ you must know the whole story by now. Ok the final boss is pretty tough and has 2 methods of attack which are both leathel. I would use either the rifle or the shotgun but the rifle is a better choice. you'll only be able to get 1 or 2 shots from either gun before the boss gets close to you. Watch out for the gaps in the floor and keep moving away from the boss. ############################################################################ Congratulations! you have just finished Silent Hill 2! ########################################################################### Tips on reciving the most exellent score possible: -Play hard action mode -Play extra riddle mode -Clear all 5 endings -Save your game twice or less -Finish the game in 3hrs. or less -Collect at least 100 regular items -Collect the chainsaw, hyper spray and dog key -Kill at least 45 enemies by shooting -Kill at least 45 enemies by melee fighting -Finish the boat stage in less than 60 seconds -Sustain 200 pts. of damage or less $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Extra Riddle Mode * * * There is a 4th difficulty level but you have to complete the game in easy, normal and hard modes.
