This FAQ is for Silent Hill 2: Restless Dreams, but it is a specific FAQ. It is a Speed Walkthrough for the Sub Scenario, Born from a Wish. I finished the game in 9 Minutes 23 Seconds. Can you? If you haven't beaten this mini game at all, you may want to go to my SILENT HILL 2: RESTLESS DREAMS FAQ/WALKTHROUGH and then beat the game once or twice before trying on the Speed Game. ======================================================================== CONTENTS ======================================================================== 1. UPDATES 2. SPEED GUIDE TACTICS 3. BORN FROM A WISH SPEED GUIDE 4. RECORD TIMES 5. CONCLUSION ======================================================================== 1. UPDATES ======================================================================== AUGUST 18, 2002 UPDATE: Klez has caused trauma on my old e-mail account, therefore I am changing it. JUNE 26, 2002 UPDATE: Changed my email of the FAQ, and made the headers better. I also added ASCII art, and added "PS2" to the header. DECEMBER 29, 2001 UPDATE: Begun the FAQ and finished it. ======================================================================== 2. SPEED GUIDE TACTICS ======================================================================== -Follow the walkthrough. That's right. Don't go off in some sort of separate adventure or you'll definitely lose valuable time. -As Vincent Merken put it, the less distance traveled results in a faster time. Head from Point A to Point B directly. The walkthrough will have the necessary path for this. -Try to avoid combat. This is a Speed Walkthrough, not a Kill-All Walkthrough. In fact, you'll be killing *ZERO* monsters in this FAQ. -Avoid the Item Screen at all costs, unless you have to go in an select an item. It takes up precious time, so remember that. -Run with the Left Joystick, not with the D-Pad and the White Button. The Left Stick may feel like crap, but it is easier to manage. -Don't grab more than 1 or 2 First Aid Kits. Since avoiding combat is pretty much easy, you won't need more than 2, 4 tops. -You should play on the Most Difficult Mode. Even then, its not that hard. -Have fun. ======================================================================== 3. BORN FROM A WISH SPEED GUIDE ======================================================================== After the cut-scenes, head out of the room into the main room of the Heaven's Night bar. Grab the Chinese Cleaver on the counter and then exit the room. Head south on Caroll Street. Then head east on Rendell and then head north on Munson Street. Hug the right side of the Munson and when you reach a door with blood in front of it (near the Blue Creek Apartment Buildings), enter through. This is the Baldwin Mansion, so enter through the front doors. In this Entry Hall, run up to the double doors to enter the mansion proper. Turn to the door to the very left. Inside this next room, climb the stairs and try opening the door to the right. Skip the cut-scene. After the cut-scene, head through the only open door nearby. In this hallway, dodge the Mannequin. Head to the door to the very right from where you entered the hallway from. In this balcony is a White Board. Return to the first floor. On your way down, you'll hear a clatter. Head to the Main Room and then examine the Fire Place. A new ladder will be revealed. Climb it to some sort of a graveyard. Grab the Red Board and the Black Board and prepare for a puzzle. Examine the tombstone. ======================================================================== ACACIA PUZZLE ======================================================================== To solve this, place the White Board in first. Then Place the Red Board in, but turn it to the left. Then insert the Black Board as is and you will get the Acacia Key. ======================================================================== Take this key back to the second floor. Once in the Hallway where you talked to Ernest, take the only open door again. In this hall where you dodged the Mannequin, proceed down into another door. Through this door is another balcony above the Main Room. Across is a locked door. Use the Acacia Key to unlock it. Go through this long hall, passed one blocked door to an unlocked door. This is a bedroom. Grab the Matches and leave. Continue down the hall outside the bedroom until you come to another unlocked door. It leads to an attic. Climb it. As you climb, you will hear a voice. At the top of the stairs, use the Matches on the candles to light the room. Then look underneath a big chair to find a Birthday Card. Return down the stairs to hear a voice. Return to the door where you saw Ernest. It is unlocked now. So head through. Head through another door to a noisy hallway. Take the only open door and head down a long hallway. Through the next door is a kitchen. Grab any items and head through another door. Through it is a hallway. Look to your left for a locked door and a save pad. Remember that locked door. Head through the nearest door that is unlocked and head inside. The room is marked "Study" on the Map. Head to the other door. Talk to Ernest again. Now go to the locked door you saw a minute ago. You might want to save your game. Head down the stairs and down a long hallway. Head up another flight of stairs, through a door and you are outside again. Look for a hole in the fence and enter the blue door you see nearby. You are in the Blue Creek Apartments. Head through the first door you see. In this hall, turn to the first door to Maria's left. In Room 105, head to the locked cabinet and grab the White Liquid. Return to the where you last talked to Ernest. After a few cut-scenes, this rather short mini game is over! Congratulations! What was our time? If you broke the 9 Minute 23 Second barrier, please provide evidence and let me know, so your name can be put in the next section! ======================================================================== 4.
