Since there is no main walkthrough for the PS2 version of Silent Hill
Origins, I have decided to write one. It is almost exactly the same as
the PSP version but I feel there should be a separate walkthrough.
Besides, I just felt like writing one.
Before you email me, please read the guidelines in Section 11:
Copyright and thanks. This is my second walkthrough (third posting
on this site).

Section 2: Characters
+-------------------------+
Travis Grady
Travis Grady is an ordinary trucker with a troubled past. His sleep is
frequently interrupted by nightmares, though he can never remember they're
about- he only knows that they're terrifying and eerily familiar.
Alessa
A mysterious girl who Travis saves from a fire. He's later told that she
died, but... why does she keep appearing?
Dr. Kaufmann
Dr. Kaufmann is a cold and scientific man who works at Alchemilla Hospital.
He's been seen around the local religious group, thought it's not known if
he's actually a member, or if he's merely observing the cult's behavior.
Dahlia Gillespie
Dahlia is a devout, almost fanatical follower of the local religion. She
has raised her daughter Alessa to do whatever is necessary for the good of
the cult- even if it means the ultimate sacrifice.
Nurse Lisa Garland
Travis meets Lisa at Alchemilla Hospital, where she seems kind hearted,
flirtatious, and innocent. How long she can stay this way in the darkness
of Silent Hill remains to be seen...
************************************************************************
+----------------------+
Section 3: Monsters
+----------------------+
The monsters will be listed in order as you encounter them in the game.
Nurse
Veterans to the Silent Hill series will know these monsters well. They are
fairly easy to defeat but can pack a serious punch if not taken seriously.
The main place they are located is in the Sanitarium and the Alchemilla
hhospital. To get away from a grappling attack, repeatedly press the
X button to push yourself away.
Straight-Jacket
These monsters are also in many of the Silent Hill games. They look like a
featureless human bound in a straight jacket. Their habit of spitting acid
can get quite old and can take a chunk out of your life. They are not too
hard to beat and the pistol or shotgun takes care of them nicely. If you are
caught in a grappling attack, DO NOT MASH BUTTONS! Yes, I am still learning
that because it is a habit to mash buttons when you are attacked, I know.
Wait until you see a picture of the button you need to press on the screen
and press it quickly. Do this a few times and you will avoid damage.
Carrion
A new addition to the series, these monsters are quite dangerous. They have
an appearance of an animal carcass. They lunge at you very quickly even if
you try to dodge them. They take a good few hits to kill so a shotgun is
recommended to kill them in one hit. Stay far away from them because of
their speed and you should be fine.
Remnant
These are shadowy creatures that lurk in the Cedar Grove Sanitarium. From my
experience, they are not easy to kill and it is better to just turn off your
flashlight and run. If you must fight them, use any strong melee weapon to
defeat them.
Ariel
An Ariel looks like a child-like mannequin that hangs from the ceiling. They
can drop on the floor and attack you also. A good way to defeat them is to
shoot them from a distance and stomp on them quickly. If you are caught in
a grappling attack, mash the X button to get away with no damage. These are
usually easy enemies but they come in groups of 2 or 3 so take caution.
Caliban
A downright ugly creature that is large with its hind legs somehow in front
of its body. They are powerful and can stomp you quite easily and cause a
hefty amount of damage. They are slow but can attack quickly if you are
near them. Try not to fight them if you don't have to, use the rifle or
shotgun if you do.
Two-Back
These are freaky monsters that look like a monster/human fused together. They
appear toward the end of the game and can inflict a good amount of damage. A
few shots from the shotgun take care of them pretty easily so they are really
nothing to worry about. They spit acid but if you run past them they should
miss. Sometimes you will be caught in a grapple and press the button
that appears on the screen.

*Items*
=========
# Healing Items #
-----------------
Health Drink
These are fairly common around Silent Hill and heal you a small amount
when you drink them. These should be the first things you use when
Travis is damaged unless his health is flashing red.
First Aid Kit
These are less common but heal you a moderate amount.
Ampoule
Now this is the stuff. Ampoules heal you fully and even increase your
stamina for a bit (similar to an energy drink). There are only about 4
in the game so use them sparingly.
Energy drink
This doesn't heal you at all, but it does increase your stamina for
a bit. It's good for if you need to run away from monsters quickly.
# Ammo #
-------------
Target Ammo
A box of .22 caliber bullets used with the Target Pistol.
Shotgun Ammo
A box of shotgun shells for the Shotgun.
Service Ammo
A box of 9mm bullets for the Service Pistol.
Assault Rifle Ammo
A clip for the Assault Rifle
Redeemer Ammo
A box of .44 caliber bullets for the Redeemer.
=============
Weapons
=============
There are 6 types of weapons in the game.
Light weapons: This category includes weapons such as the Scalpel.
They are not very powerful but are quick and good for consecutive attacks.
Medium weapons: This category includes weapons such as the Tire Iron.
They have a medium strength and are okay for a few consecutive attacks.
Heavy weapons: This category includes weapons such as the Sledgehammer.
They are very powerful but can't be used for more than two consecutive
attacks.
Long weapons: This category includes weapons such as the Drip Stand.
They have very good reach but are slow and also aren't good for more
than one attack.
One time use weapons: This category includes weapons such as the Typewriter
and Portable TV. They are usually very powerful but can only be used once.
They can also be thrown to cause damage at a long distance.
Ranged weapons: This category includes all of the guns in the game.
They range on strength but can be used at a distance, which is very helpful.
You are also able to use ranged weapons while walking.
Fists: When Travis's melee weapon breaks, he can use his fists to fight
enemies. It can be effective against beginning enemies but is usually a
very weak attack.

Section 5: Walkthrough
+------------------------+
Before starting the walkthrough, I am going to go through the basics,
which you will have to know before playing the game.
# Saving #
----------
To save the game, you have to find a reddish orange symbol posted on the
walls around Silent Hill. Only then can you save the game. It is a smart
idea to save on a separate file every few hours or more so if you use too
many health items and save, you can start at the previous file. You never
know when you will screw up.
# Battles #
-----------
To battle, hold down R1 and press X to swing a melee weapon or shoot your gun.
Sometimes monsters will grapple with you and you will be prompted to press a
button to get out without any damage. Sometimes you will have to mash a
certain button, and other times you will have to press a certain
button ONCE at a specific time. Remember, monsters spawn or reappear
in certain areas after you have done something important so watch out.
# Items/Weapons #
------------------
All healing items, including energy drinks, can be used only once. Melee
weapons can also be used a certain amount of time before they break and
become useless. You can check the status of the weapon by looking at the
weapon selection menu.
Some items are more common than others so it is a good idea to conserve when
you can. The rule is, the more powerful the item, the more rare it is in the
game. Try to save items like ampoules and Redeemer ammo for boss battles.
# Flashlight #
---------------
The flashlight is VERY useful because in some places it is nearly impossible
to see without it. However, it comes at a price. Monsters can see you better
with the flashlight on so when running from certain monsters it can help to
turn it off. I've found that you can sneak by a good amount of monsters in
the dark.
# Radio #
----------
The radio alerts you to when monsters are around by playing a static-y white
noise.
Always leave it turned on, unlike the flashlight, it never hurts to be on.
# Stamina #
-----------
Travis's stamina depletes when he is running for a while or when he is
grappling monsters. A decrease in stamina will cause Travis to run slower
(therefore easily caught by monsters), and will have a less chance at a
successful grapple. Rest in a safe spot or drink an energy drink to
restore lost stamina.
# Finishing off monsters #
--------------------------
To finish off a monster, walk up to one while it is lying on the ground
and press X to perform a finishing move. If you are using a gun and run
out of ammo for the move, Travis will stomp on the monster instead.
Same thing when a melee weapon breaks. If you do not finish off the
monster, it USUALLY will come alive again and you will have to battle
it again. Sometimes with weapons like the Shotgun,
you do not have to use a finishing move if you knock them down twice.
# Charging your attacks #
-------------------------
With all melee weapons, you can hold X to perform a charged attack.
These attacks are strong and can be very effective. You can also
do consecutive attacks where Travis will swing his weapon more
than once at a time. Some weapons perform consecutive attacks quicker
than others, some none at all.
Now that all the basics are taken care of, I will start the walkthrough.
~Note~
There may be minor spoilers in this walkthrough that can't be prevented.
Please don't complain to me how I ruined the storyline. Just try not to read
too far ahead so you don't find out anything you shouldn't yet. :p
Also, my rights and lefts may be a little different then what YOUR rights and
lefts may be. For most of my walkthrough, I used the map so a right on the map
may equal a left in the game (with the camera in front of Travis). Just keep
this in mind...
Introduction:
Travis Grady is alone is his solitary trucker lifestyle. He's content to live
his life one mile at a time, making as few connections as possible. It's not
that he doesn't have a personal history, but he'd much rather leave the past
in his rearview mirror.
His latest delivery takes him past a sleepy northeastern town called Silent
Hill. Suddenly, something runs across the road, and Travis is forced to
swerve out of the way. Leaving his cab to investigate, he spots a young girl,
who quickly runs away. Worried she might be hurt, Travis follows.
He comes to a flaming house on the outskirts of Silent Hill. A girl screams
from somewhere in the fire, and Travis rushes inside to help. He fights
through the flames, the black smoke burning in his lungs. He finds the girl,
but eventually gives in to the strain and blacks out...
...He wakes up in Silent Hill.
~Note~
If you want to find a certain part you are on, the sections are divided
by area like . Just use Ctrl F to find what area you are looking
for.
After the beginning cutscene, run a long distance until another cutscene
starts.
When that ends, and you are in the house, run forward and right up the
staircase. Go straight through the door in front of you. Walk forward
and turn left at a chair and go around to the direction (not area) you
came from. Turn right and another right at a burning chair. Continue
going in a "U" shape until you trigger a cutscene. After it ends, turn
around and go right, right, and weave around until you trigger yet
another cutscene. Go straight, left, follow the path, and you will a
symbol and the flames will be cleared. Go that direction and follow
a "U" shape and another symbol will appear. Continue straight and
turn a left until you find a door ahead of you. In the new room,
go straight, and if the camera is behind Travis, go left. Otherwise,
go right.
After the cutscene, you will wake up on a bench in good ol' Silent Hill.
After the cutscene, view the map carefully. Your destination is circled
and zoomed in on. Exit the map and turn left which will be straight up
Crichton St. Go straight and turn right at the next street which will be
Koontz St. Continue forward until you see some open gates, enter the area
and go through the door to the Alchemilla Hospital.
To your left, there will be a map so grab it now or regret it later. Also,
there is a public notice you can grab too. Go straight and there will be a
save point on the wall which I recommend you use. Go down the hall to the
door straight ahead. Follow the hallway until you get to the last door and
enter it. Go down a lit hallway until a cutscene plays. Go into the elevator
and press the button for the second floor. After exiting, turn left into
the closest door.
~Note~
This will be your first battle. Review the guide for fighting earlier in the
walkthrough. There is a sledgehammer next to you, grab that and use it to
fight.
After the fight, go through the door marked 205. In the room, look for a
memo on a table. Grab it and attempt to leave the room. After the cutscene
plays, you will be transferred to the Other World. Look to the left of you
as soon as you can to get the Plastic Lungs. Pick up the Scalpel off the
gurney and exit the room. There will be a nurse close by so watch out.
After she is taken care of turn to the left and right and through the door.
Go right when you can and to room 202. Grab the Golden Egg, memo, and leave.
Turn left and grab the Portable TV at the end of the hallway. Go through
the closest door (room 204) and grab the memo and Drip Stand. This room
is important so remember it for later. Go straight down the hall to the
last door before turning right (a double door).
Grab the health drink before going down the stairs. There will also be a
hammer next to the door you just came in. Take the staircase down and
through the door to the first floor. Turn right and grab the Alcohol
Bottle to the right on a shelf. Keep going until you see a gold door
with a hole in it. Use the Golden Egg in the door to unlock it. You
will now be in a bathroom but don't touch the mirror yet! Go forward
and open a container to get the Plastic Liver. Now go through the mirror.
Grab the health drink on the floor and go into the farthest stall to
grab the Staff Lounge Key off the toilet seat. (Ewwwww) Note that the
stall next to it has "Amy, 31" written on it. Leave the bathroom.
~Note~
There is a saving point nearby. I recommend you use it.
Take a direct right from the bathroom and through the door. Go straight
to the Staff Lounge. Grab the health drink off the couch and the memo
off the wall. Go to the counter to grab a Toaster (white bread anybody?)
and an Exam Room Key. Note that the wall says "Lucy, 23." Leave the
lounge and go straight through some double doors, down the hall to
the last door on the right. Enter the exam room, grab the memo and
Typewriter on the desk, and turn on the light to view the X-ray. Note
that it says "Sarah, 19." Grab the Plastic Stomach and Plastic Intestine
out of the two sinks. There is also an Alcohol Bottle on the shelf.
Exit the room and go through the closest door. Go straight to the double
doors, straight, left, right, and to the elevator. Select the 2nd floor
and go through the nearest door. Go into room 205 and through the mirror.
Exit, go left, right, and to the next area (near the Nurse Centre). Go
straight, right, and to the last door. Remember the numbers I asked you
to remember? Now is a good time for them.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Icebox Puzzle*
If you read the memo, it said that age comes before beauty. So enter the
number as follows: "312319"
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Awww, Travis just found love. Nah, it's just a Plastic Heart...
Leave the room and beware because a nurse is right friggin' in front of you.
Turn right, down the hall, left, and through the double doors. Go straight,
left, and into room 205. Go through the mirror once again. Once through,
exit the room and turn right and through the doors to the elevator. Go to
the first floor, turn left, and right into the next hallway. Go straight
through to the farthest door into the hallway of the exam room.
~Note~
Now would be a good time to save.
Go into the exam room and examine the plastic anatomy doll.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Anatomy Doll Puzzle*
Put in the heart, lungs, intestines, stomach, and liver.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Grab the Glass Eyes and exit the room. Go to the double doors and into the
hallway. Go to the women's bathroom and through the mirror. Exit the
bathroom and be careful because there are two nurses here. Go left
to the darkish silver door and use the Glass Eyes. Enter and there are two
other nurses here. Go to the end of the hall to grab a Portable TV. Go down
the hall further to grab two health drinks. Go back into the exam room in that
same hallway and examine the weird looking reddish door thing to have a mini
boss battle.
## Mini Boss Battle ##
This is your first encounter with a Straightjacket. Just use a one time use
items and finish it off with the Sledgehammer or other weapon.
After the battle grab the Future Piece off the floor to trigger a cutscene.
The surprisingly hot and not undead nurse Lisa Garland will wake you up.
After it ends, save, and exit through the double doors PAST the exam room.
Go straight through to the next area and right to the door with Exit above it.
Whew, out at last.
Go straight, past some benches, and to Canyon St. Turn right to a cop car
and grab an energy drink and a health drink. Go straight down Borden St
and turn left on Cielo Ave. Go left (or down on the map) on Low St. and
go into the Butcher's.
Directly forward you will see a saving point. Save here and grab the
Meat Hook out of the hanging slab of meat. There is also a health drink
nearby so grab that too. Go through the door for a wonderfully appetizing
cutscene. Nurse sashimi anyone? Yum.
Go straight, grab the energy drink, go past Miss Sashimi and follow the
halls to the double doors.
Go straight down Toluca Ave and grab the pointless memo on the car.
Go past the intersection and grab the Crate near some dumpsters (in
a large blue area on the map). Across from the Cedar Grove Sanitarium
is a health drink and a Wrench. Go across and follow the path into
the building.
Go straight and turn left into the only door of three you can go
into. In here, grab the Filing Cabinet and the Target Pistol. Leave
and go straight across and through the only door of three you can
enter. Luckily, inside is a map. After picking the map up, go across
a bit to the right, to a table with a memo. Leave through the doors
that you didn't come through (they look the same) and a cutscene will
play. Go across to the stairs.
There is a save point here so use it. Go upstairs through the door.
Turn right and go into the door to the storage on the left. Grab the
two shotgun ammos, 2 Alcohol Bottles, and the First Aid Kit and leave.
Go back to where you came but turn right to go a large room with many
doors. Take a slight left and enter into the TB Ward. Grab the memo
in front of the iron lung.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Iron Lung Puzzle*
What you need to do here is to get all the needles to the far right
side of the gauge.
0 0 0 0 0
1 2 3 4 5
The order is 155133.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Grab the Basement Key out of the iron lung and leave the room. Take
a hard left, then go straight to the other double door. Go straight
through again to the stairs. Go downstairs to the basement but before
you go through the door, grab the Wrench and the Target Ammo. Now go
through the door and straight through some silver double doors. You
will be at a cross-shaped area. Now go through the nearest door to
the storage. Grab the Drip Stand and some Target Ammo and leave. You
can go down near the boiler room and grab some Jagged Wood if you
want to.
Now go past the storage out of the cross-shaped room. Turn left,
than right, and be aware of the Carrion that is lurking about here.
Throw an Alcohol Bottle at it and take it out quickly. Go through
the door leading to a long pathway. Go a loooong way to get to the
door on the right (the stairwell). Go upstairs to the topmost floor
be in a whole new area. Once through the door, turn right and straight
to the female hydro therapy room. Drain the bathtub by pressing the
button on the wall to watch a key being flushed down the drain. Nice
one Travis...
Save if you need to and leave. Go right and into two doors on the
right side called the female treat[ment] room. Go through the mirror
and grab the Target Ammo. Leave and turn left to grab an Alcohol
Bottle on a table. Turn around and go into the door to the stairs
on the right side. Go down to the middle floor, save, and go through
the door. Turn right and the screen will turn black and white and
there will be a minor "cutscene." Go straight and through any door
to the female dorm 3. Grab the target ammo on the table and leave.
Take a left and go to the women's bathroom and grab the hard to see
kitchen knife in the shower room. Go through the mirror and go into
the open stall and flush the toilet. Look at the bloody words on the
floor if you are feeling morbid and leave the bathroom.
Go straight up and into the third door on the right into the female
dorm 5. Right next to you will be a Baton and a memo. Grab the Target
Ammo and the Belongings Key on a bed. Leave and go straight across to
unlock the door to the stairwell but do not enter it. Go down toward
the women' bathroom but turn right into the door past the matron.
From there, head straight to the lower storage room and grab the
Tire Iron, Target Ammo, then leave.
~Note~
There is a saving point near here.
From the storage, head down and to the east solarium. Go through
the other door and to a large room you have been in before. Look at your
map and head to the Patient Belongings room and use the key. Turn right
and grab the shotgun ammo, the memo, and the Typewriter. There is a mirror
in here behind the shelves so go through it. Grab the shotgun off the door
(Oh baby!) and leave the room. Careful, there are two Carrions here. Go
through the door next to the east solarium and then into the east solarium.
There is shotgun ammo here so grab that and leave. Turn left when you can
and go straight to the laundry. Pick up the memo and health drink. Leave
and go down to the last door on the right- the stairwell. Go down to the
bottom floor and through the door. Turn right, right, and all the way down
to the east pipe room. Grab the Interview Archives Key and leave the room.
~Note~
If you want to go into the diagonal hallway here, there is a Meat Hook at
the end. It is hard to get around the monster here so it may not be worth
it.
Go straight into the door to the storage and grab the Hammer and ampoule
and go through the mirror. Grab the Meat Hook and leave. Go to the stairwell
and up two floors but save first. Once through the door, go straight across
into another room. Take a slight right into the first door you see which
will be the archives room. There will be another mini "cutscene" here.
Grab the Portable TV and shotgun ammo and go through the mirror. Grab the
Katana on the shelf and leave. Look at your map and head left to the door
leading to the polio ward. Go straight across into another stairwell and
into the door on the lowest floor.
Careful, there is a Carrion here. Finish it off and go to the door before
the blockage leading to a long diagonal corridor. Go up one flight of stairs
and into the door. Go right, into the male seclusion and grab the memo and
baton off the chair. Enter room 1, grab a razor, and note the surroundings.
Door 2 is burned, 3 is open and has a Poker you can grab (note the
dressmaker's dummy). Door 4 is barred and 5 has rotten food everywhere.
Leave when you have written everything down. Go all the way down and right
into the Infirmary and save. Grab the Scalpel and head to the dolls on a
table.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Doll Puzzle*
This one is tricky. Remember the memo you grabbed from the male seclusion?
In a nutshell it says that (excluding the pill names):
Room 1: Red
Room 2: Blue
Room 3: Yellow
Room 4: Green
Room 5: Blue
I asked you to remember what was in each room and now we need to find
out what it represents.
Room 1: Razors
Room 2: Burned
Room 3: Dressmaker's Dummy
Room 4: Barred shut
Room 5: Food
The dolls look like this in left to right order.
Knife doll represents confinement
Red doll represents burning
Arms crossed doll represents food (really skinny)
Razor doll represents... razors.
Dressed doll represents clothes.
So if you put this together you get green, blue, blue, red, yellow.
After that you get Dr. Harris' Key
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Leave the room and go right and to the double doors leading to the
stairwell. Go to the lower floor and down the long stretch of diagonal
hallway. Head into the storage to the right and go through the mirror.
Grab the memo and leave. Head down and to the stairwell and to the next
floor up. Go straight across, unlock the door, and go through. From here,
turn left and into the door left of the Patient Belongings (left door).
Grab the memo and the Jocasta Artifact, then leave. Grab the Child's Drawing
on the floor and head to the east solarium. Go through it and save at the
stairwell nearby. Exit the stairwell and go straight, then right, straight
through (past the Female Ward A) and into first door on the right. You will
now be in the women's bathroom, so now go through the mirror. When out of
the bathroom (haha) go straight ahead and use the Jocasta Artifact on the
door. After the cutscene, save, and enter the door furthest to the left.
### Boss Battle ###
========================================================================
I managed to beat this boss the first time without getting hit once. Use
the Target Pistol first, then the Shotgun to finish her off. Run around
the room, trying to stay as far away as you can, and fire 1 or 2 shotgun
shots or 3 or 4 pistol shots. Too many more and you may be hit. Wait until
she screams and stop shooting or you will waste ammo. Overall, this is a
pretty easy battle.
========================================================================
After the battle, grab the Past Piece and you will wake up in the first
section of the sanitarium. Turn around from where you are and make sure
to grab the Theater Ticket off the table before you exit the sanitarium
forever.
Grab the Lumberyard Key from the car outside. Follow the concrete path
until you are outside of the Cedar Grove Sanitarium.
~Note~
Now would be a good time to explore the town a bit and find ammo and health
drinks. I'm not going to lead you on a wild goose chase to find all the
things so I am going to direct you to the lumberyard.
From the intersection at Acadia Rd, go left, then right on Toluca Ave.
Take a right where it says Deliveries and enter in the door to the
Butcher Shop. Follow the bloodstains, save, and leave out the other side.
Once outside and paying one last visit to Nurse Sashimi (guess the Butcher
wasn't one with her yet...), turn left. Go right and up Low St. and another
right at Cielo Ave. Before you come to a dead end, go left into the
lumberyard. You can follow the path all the way down to the left to pick
up a health drink if you want. Otherwise, enter through the doors using
the Lumberyard Key.
Once inside, take an immediate right and pick up the Hammer. Go back to
the entrance area and take a right at an opening and then a left. You
will go through a narrow spot and the camera angle will change. Go
through that area and pick up the memo right in front of you. Turn
left from the memo, go straight, and make a U-turn around a fence.
Continue to weave through the area and pick up the Hammer to the
left of you. Take a right and slight left and go through the next door
you see.
From the Lumberyard, go up Industry Dr. and explore to find some health
drinks and Target Ammo. At the end of the curve, turn right, then left
and you will soon find the Greenfield Apartments. If you get lost, just
follow the bloodstains. Only in Silent Hill would you get to your
destination this way. Hehe The stains lead upstairs so go up and into
the door.
Once inside, turn left to find a Toaster and a Screwdriver. Check the
couch to find 2 Target Ammo and check the table to find a Table Lamp.
Go back to near the entrance and turn left to go into another section.
Turn left to find an opening to the bedroom where you will find a bloody
mess of a monster left on the bed for poor Travis to find. Grab the memo
if you want and make a U-turn into the bathroom. There will be a giant
hole so jump down and make James Sunderland proud. Once down, exit the
room and head to the mailboxes. Note that the overflowing mailbox number
is 213. So, go down the stairs and out the door.
Once out, head right and you can head down an alley where there will
be Service Ammo and a Meat Hook. Follow the path a short ways until
you get to the Artaud Theater. Check the ticket box and use the Theater
Ticket you grabbed at the Sanitarium. Once you hear a click, turn around
and go into the main entrance.
Beautiful scenery huh? Before you go anywhere, you will see a map on a
bench so grab it. Save here and go to the left and through the double
doors leading to the center of the auditorium. Walk straight until a
cutscene plays. A rather scary one if you ask me. Lisa has waaay to
much time on her hands. After it is done, straight as far as you can
and turn left. Go up some short stairs and into a door on the right.
Grab the Typewriter here and go on through. Walk through the stage
and a mini cutscene will play. Go into the door on the other side and
save again here after grabbing the Iron Weights.
Leave through the door next to the saving point and turn right if you
want to grab a Hammer, and left to go through the next door. A small
cutscene will play and you will be rudely introduced to the first Ariel
in the game. Uh... fun. Grab the health drink in here and turn left at
the wall and go down a long hall where you will see another Ariel. Kill
it and go into the director's office and pick up the Sun Totem, the
Service Ammo, Service Pistol, and the memo. Leave and go all the way
down the hall where you came from and go into the last door on the left,
the men's dressing room. Pick up the memo and go into the mirror after
picking up the Katana.
Exit the room and turn left, right, and straight to the door ahead.
Enter and pick up the Service Ammo and Balcony Key. Go down the hall
to the last door on the right into the men's dressing room. Go through
the mirror and leave the room. Go down and through the double doors and
take a left into the curtain control, save, then leave. There is some
Jagged Wood next to the door, so grab it and walk across the stage, and
through the door. Go through the storage and back through the auditorium
to the main lobby. To the right you will see some stairs so go up them.
Go through the double doors and turn right into the balcony corridor.
Go straight and into the second door on the left into the lighting box.
Grab the first aid kit and memo and read it carefully. Grab the
Screwdriver and 4 important items: 500W bulb, 250W bulb, 750W bulb,
and the 125W bulb. Then leave and turn right into the doors leading
to the stairs.
Go down the stairs and into the next area. Kill the Straightjacket here
and grab the Moon Totem in front of you. Go straight, unlock the door
and go through. Go straight until you pass the curtain control
(save if you want) and through the next door. Head straight to the
men's dressing room and into the mirror. Exit the room and go straight
and into the double doors leading out of the area. Kill the Carrion
in here and go down the hall and through the next doors. Go straight
and a slight left into the door to the stairwell. Go upstairs and
through the doors.
Check the door with the design on it and read it carefully.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Door Puzzle*
This is fairly straightforward.
"My right hand calls to the light,
My left hand ushers in darkness."
Put the Sun Totem to the right of the door, and the Moon Totem to the
left.
The door will then open.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once through, go up the stairs and through the door. Go all the way
down to the third door on the left, past the two catwalks. Go in the
door and down the hall, turn right, and pick up the sweet Hunting
Rifle just waiting for you to pick it up. Go down the hall again to
the last door on the left into the costume storage and go into the
mirror. Grab the Katana, memo, and health drink and leave the room.
Head down the hall and to the last door on the right, leading to the
orchestra storage. Save here and grab the Iron Weights, then leave.
Go right and to the door leading to the next area. Careful, there
are two Straightjackets here. Go down to the second door and enter
onto the catwalk.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Light Bulb Puzzle*
This one took me a little while. Remember the note we picked up
regarding the bulb placement? It says:
B has to be half the wattage of D.
A + B must not exceed C.
Wattage of D must not exceed A.
Let's use a little bit of math to figure this out. Oh noes!
Not math! Yes, math.
B = 1/2 D
A + B < C
D < A
So we have 4 bulbs: 500W, 250W, 750W, 125W.
So for the equation B = 1/2 D, both of these would work.
125 = 1/2 * 250
250 = 1/2 * 500
Let's use the first one for now.
So if we use 125 = 1/2 * 250, then that means B = 125 and D = 250.
If we substitute those values in the second equation of A + B < C
we get A + 125 < C. In the third equation of D < A we would get 250 < A.
The only value that would work for A would be 500 because it would
satisfy this equation 500 + 125 = 750 (which does not exceed C).
So that means the third equation is 250 < 500. So, after all the math,
we get this order:
A = 500
B = 125
C = 750
D = 250
------------------------------------------------------------------------
So put the bulbs in place in that order along the catwalk. Then pull
the switch at the end and Voila! You have heard a strange sound that
could mean absolutely nothing. ^0^
Well, luckily it means something so leave the catwalk and turn right
and through the door. Go down the stairs and unlock the door. Go through
it and straight through the doors ahead. Head down the stairs but grabbing
health drink along the way and go through the door. Go a little to the left
and into the next door into a long hallway. Go straight but turn left into
the curtain control. Save here and pull the curtain control level in here.
Leave out the door next to the lever and holy crap! What happened here? As
you have noticed, there is a huge mirror that you can enter. If you do, you
will be bored to tears because it is just an empty room. Awwww, that's no
fun! So, let's mess things up shall we? When facing the mirror, turn left for
some Shotgun ammo or turn right to find a strange machine.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Prop Lever Puzzle*
This is pretty easy. You basically want to match the props to the scenery.
Pull the top Scenery lever and the middle Props lever to hear a creepy
sound. Go to the mirror and enter it and head to the left to a strange
looking tree-thing. Grab the Stage Office Key and leave after the cutscene.
~Note~
You can pull the lower lever of Scenery and the top lever of props and
enter the mirror again for some items. I highly recommend you do this to
get some rifle ammo, some memos, and a highly valuable ampoule.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
After exiting the mirror, go right and into the curtain control. Leave
through the other side and turn an immediate left and enter the next area
to avoid the Carrion. In this room, go straight, left and follow the hallway
all the way down to the LAST door on the right into the stage office. Grab
the Prop Lever and leave going back down the hall and through the door on the
right back to the door where you entered. I guess the Carrion followed us...
Kill or run away from the Ariels and go directly into the door on the right.
Save here (important) then leave and go in a U shape back to the control
panel. Use the Prop Lever and pull the middle Scenery lever and the bottom
Props lever. So, enter the mirror.
## Boss Battle ##
========================================================================
This guy isn't too hard either. The funny thing is you will see many of this
walking around Silent Hill so if you kill it now, you will learn to avoid it
later. ^_^
Now, I recommend you use the Rifle for this because the Shotgun loses power
at a distance. However, if you do not want to use up your ammo then use the
Shotgun.
What you can do is get close (but not touching) the Caliban and lure it to
lunge at you. You will hear it roar and once you hear a crash you know it
has hit the wall. Run up to it and shoot it with whatever weapon you can
before it finishes turning around. You should kill it pretty easily and
get the Falsehood Piece as a reward.
========================================================================
When Travis finishes his nappy nap, pick up the Motel Key from the dead
Ariel. Save if you want and then leave the Theater.
From the theater, take a left and continue down until you get to a dead
end. You can also pick up some items by going down alleyways and dead end
streets beforehand. You will eventually have to take a right and you will
see an open door, so enter.
While in here make SURE to grab the Assault Rifle from the mannequin. Check
the memo and it will say something about the combination to the register is
Andy's Greenfield Apartment number. Remember when I asked you to note it?
It was 213 so check the register and punch it in. Use the Bookstore Key on
the other door to exit the shop. Also grab the Assault Rifle Ammo here.
From the store, turn left and go down Crichton St. until you see the camera
zoom in on a store. Enter the building.
In the store, grab the ampoule, Service ammo, Assault Rifle Ammo, Toolbox,
and the memo. Go past the freezers, save, grab the Broken Pole, and leave
the store.
From the store, go right down Midway Ave and turn right at a small alleyway.
This can be touch because sometime a large Caliban blocks you. Continue past
the Caliban, going straight from the alleyway until you hit a small hard to
see path. You will be in front of Allen Storage while walking there. Continue
along until you are on Toluca Ave. Go left on that street, picking up items
along the way, and turn right until you see a path to the left leading to the
motel. Go around and through a gate and you will be inside.
Save here and go into the door up some small stairs and a small cutscene
will play. As soon as it ends, check the desk to pick up a memo. Turn left
and grab the map next to the deer head on the wall. Go behind the desk and
grab the Room 306 Key and check the rotary calendar if you want. Go to the
nearest door and you will be outside again.
~Note~
This next part is completely optional.
+Turn left from the reception and go down and through the gate leading to
the rooms 206 and 300. Hug the left side and go into the 4th door down,
leading into room 209. Grab the Rifle Ammo and leave and go across and to
the left into room 302 to grab a Light Stand. Go all the way up and through
the door leading out of the area.+
Head up the nearest stairs into the section starting with room 310 and 315.
Go straight from the entrance of the stairs and turn left and go into the
third door to pick up some shotgun ammo. Leave and turn around back to the
stairs. From the entrance of the stairs, turn around and go the opposite
direction (towards room 315) and enter the second door. Grab yet another
light stand and leave. Follow the path down a new set of stairs into the
area of room 309. Go left and hug the wall and go into the second door,
room 308 to pick up some Shotgun ammo. Leave and go down two more doors
until you unlock the door to 306. Enter and kill the Two-Back and go into
the mirror in the bathroom.
Now in the Other World, do not leave until you pick up the memo on the
wall. Now you can leave and go right two doors down into room 309 to
pick up some items. Leave and go left and into the open door across
from the staff room. It will be 5 doors away from room 309 where you
currently are. Once inside, pass some stairs and turn left into the
next door. Hug the left wall and go down 4 doors into room 209 where
there will be a Spear you can pick up. Leave, and go straight across,
head left, and 2 doors down will be room 301 where you can pick up a
First Aid Kit off the toilet.
Leave the room and head left and a slight right to head into an open
area (shown as a door on the map) with a Two-Back. Kill it and hug the
right wall, go down two doors, and into room 503. Once inside, find the
bathroom and go inside the mirror. Check the table and pick up the memo,
then leave. Head left and to a double door and pick up the Shovel next
to it. Enter the building and kill the Straightjacket in here. There
will be a Toolbox next to the door you came in so pick that up too.
Next, walk forward and you will eventually find Redeemer Ammo, a health
drink, and a very important memo. Note that there is a vice here. From
the vice, turn around and walk forward, turn left, another slight
left, until you find a open spot in the wall you can walk through.
Walk a few steps down the hall and you will see two peepholes. Look
through the one on the left and a mini cutscene will play. Note that
the calendar has 12 circled on it.
~Note~
It's kind of funny that while looking through the peephole, Travis
doesn't stop panting.
Keep going down the hall until you see a lone peephole and a table.
Look in the peephole and... oh look who it is! He was the one who
turned the nurse into sashimi! Look again and he disappears... ooooo
creepy. Pick the picture up off the table (I still can't figure out what
it is) and pick up the Manager's Office Key. Leave the hallway for good
and turn left and go through the door to exit the maintenance room. Go
straight past all the rooms and turn right to find a new door. Inside
this tight little spot are two Two-Backs but I find it pretty easy to
run past them. Go all the way down and unlock the door.
There will be a Carrion here so walk past it and go straight and a little
to the left and enter the small door leading to the employee parking. SAVE
HERE!!!
Go up the small stairs and into the reception. Go straight into the door
ahead of you and use the Manager's Office Key. There will be a Two-Back
in here so kill it and grab the memo off the table as well as the Assault
Rifle Ammo. Leave through the door to the left of the stuffed animals on the
wall.
Before you head anywhere, turn around and unlock the door behind you.
From there, turn left and hug the wall and go into the first door. Grab
the health drink, Assault Rifle Ammo from near the window and the Redeemer
and the ammo next to the television. A 44 caliber hand cannon? What,
was Leon S. Kennedy staying here or something? Anyway, moving on. There
is also a crate in the bathroom. Leave the room and turn left and go into
the second door (room 106) and grab the Rifle Ammo here. Leave and pass a
few doors until you see a bloody monster body just sitting there. So,
enter the kitchen.
## Boss Battle ##
========================================================================
Wow, if that wasn't a disturbing enough cutscene now you need to fight
the guy? Boy, is Travis having a bad day.
First of all, the Butcher is coming toward you so back up and turn left!!
I went straight the first time and got totally sliced up. If the Butcher
does grab you, treat the situation as you would with a Straightjacket and
press the buttons it tells you to.
Anyway, after turning left, run around and wait in a corner. Shoot him
with the Assault Rifle and get at least 6-9 shots before you run away again.
Careful, he changes directions if you run quickly to the other side.
Also, keep an eye on how many bullets are left because nothing is
more annoying then having Travis randomly reload and getting hit
because of it. The Assault Rifle should take care of the Butcher
pretty quickly so as long as you stay away from him, there should be
no trouble.
========================================================================
After the battle, leave through the other side after picking up the Meat
Cleaver and the Meat Gaff. You will be now in the diner so pick up a memo
on the table, save and leave through the other door. You will now be in
the pool area so from the diner, turn left until you see some stairs.
Pass them and check the second door to room 102. Pick up some Rifle Ammo
and a Light Stand then leave. Head back toward the stairs (left) and go
past the diner until you get to the game room. Enter and check the pool
table for a pool cue, probably one of the most expensive melee weapons
you will find. Then go up the stairs and check the lit pinball machine
for a Token. Start to leave and a mini-cutscene will play.
Leave and turn left and straight into the Laundromat. Go to the other
side and unlock the door but do not enter it. Check the table to find
an important memo. Then use the Token on the washing machine so start
the next puzzle.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Washing Machine Puzzle*
This isn't too much of a puzzle because you basically have the answer
in the memo you got from the maintenance room.
The Janitor's Note says to do a low spin, 60 wash, drain, then pre-rinse.
The Washing Machine Manual gives you a list of the symbols and what
they mean.
So, following the guide to symbols (with numbers added):
1) Pre-Rinse
2) Soak
3) 30 degree wash
4) 60 degree wash
5) 90 degree wash
6) Low Spin
7) Heavy Spin
8) Drain
On the dial (with numbers)
1
8 2
7 3
6 4
5
You want 6, 4, 8, 1
------------------------------------------------------------------------
After that, grab the Cleopatra Key and leave.
See the stairs right next to you? Go up them and go straight turn
right, and another right and use the Cleopatra Key to the Cleopatra
room. Grab the items in this room, including the photo on the bed.
Then go into the bathroom down the hall and jump down the hole in
the bathtub. Oopsie daisy, looks like Travis caught Lisa and Kaufmann
in their little love shack.
~Note~
If you look on the table across from the bed you see what looks like cocaine.
Naughty naughty!
Leave the bedroom into the living room area and grab the memo off the table.
Grab the Typewriter and go back into the bathroom and into the mirror.
Kill the Two-Back and grab the Meat Hook near the door, the memo, and
leave. Go around to the pool and down the stairs to grab the Jeweled
Heart. Exit the pool and go into the diner and grab the Dagger from a
cage where you see a body or something hanging.
Leave and go up the stairs right next to you. Go straight, turn right
when you can, turn left and use the Dagger on the funny-looking door
to the Nero room.
When in the room, pick up the memo, head down the hall into the bathroom
and jump down the hole in the bathtub again. Before you go through the
wall in the next area, turn around and pick up the first aid kit. Then
go to the opposite side and through the wall into the maintenance. Turn
right and to the end of the hall where you can pick up another picture.
~Note~
If you look in one of the peepholes, you will see 3 bodies hanging. Cool,
but not important.
Go back down the hall into the door on the end. In this new room, pick up
the memo and unlock the double doors to go outside. Go straight, and go to
the 4th door and go through the mirror. Leave and turn left and go through
the double doors to the maintenance room. Go straight and a little to the
left to find the vice again. Use the Jeweled Heart on the vice and you will
get the Wedding Ring. Go to the menu and choose to examine the ring and it
will say this:
"To my June bride. Love Forever, Richard."
Remember the rotary calendar? Believe it or not, we have all the pieces to
the puzzle. Leave the maintenance room and go straight and right, into
another gate. This is the area with the two Two-Backs so just run past
them. When you leave out the other side, go straight up to the small door
on the top left. Save here, and go up the stairs into the reception and
go around the counter to the rotary calendar.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Rotary Calendar Puzzle*
I know you are thinking, "WTF? We know the day and month, but not the year."
Well, that is not true. Remember what seems like ages ago where we found some
memos in the Cedar Grove Sanitarium? The two memos we are interested in is
the Status Reports for both 1960 and 1961.
We have the day as the 12th from the calendar we saw through the peephole,
and the month of June from the engraving of the Wedding Ring. So we have
two combinations:
06 12 1960
06 12 1961
If we try the first, it does not work. But if we try the second, out pops a
drawer with nothing in it. What? I thought we were supposed to get a key!
Well think about this. If that is all we had to do, we wouldn't have to go
through 98% of the apartment complex if we cheated and looked up the numbers
beforehand.
So, put the Wedding Ring inside. You will hear a sound and if you look
behind you at the keys on the wall, a new key will show up.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
You now have the Room 500 Key. So leave the reception through the door you
came in and save. Leave through the door next to the saving point and the area
you are in should look very familiar. Go all the way down, a little bit to the
left, and past the stairs and through the door. Pass the Two-Backs yet again
and go to the other side and out the door. Go up and left into the second room,
number 503. Go through the mirror and leave the room. A mini-cutscene will
play and you will be right outside room 500. Enter it and use the save point
right next to you. Go down some very long stairs and enter into the next
room for a cutscene.
## Boss Battle ##
========================================================================
This boss is a bit harder than the other ones. I recommend the Assault Rifle
but the regular Rifle should work fine. Try to avoid the Shotgun because you
will be shooting at a far distance.
Quickly run to the left and put in a few shots. Some tentacles will descend so
try to run the opposite direction to avoid them. They are pretty hard to avoid
but if they catch you, press X repeatedly to get out unharmed. He will spit an
acid at you but if you are running back and forth (avoiding the tentacles) he
should miss you.
While using the Assault Rifle, try not to be greedy and get more than 5 shots.
You will get attacked if you try to shoot to many times. If you are using the
Rifle, try 1 maybe 2 shots.
========================================================================
After the battle, pick up the Truth Piece off the ground. A cutscene will end
an you will end up in a hospital-like place. Pick up the Redeemer Ammo and the
first aid kit, and leave through the door next to some shelves. Go straight
through the other door and into yet another room. You will see a large red
symbol on the ground so check it and receive the Present Piece.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Flauros Puzzle*
This one is pretty tricky. What you have to do attach the pieces and rotate
them in the right direction.
Press X to pick up the piece the second from the left and it will
automatically attach.
Press Square to rotate whatever piece is zoomed in on.
The puzzle will be solved under these conditions:
1) The symbols that look like this:
O
-X-
-X-
O
Will be all on one side.
And so on. Here is the solution:
When the Present piece is facing with this symbol to the left:
O
^|^
^|^
O
This symbol to the right:
O
-X-
-X-
O
And the circle thing to the bottom.
1) Attach the piece to the far right. Rotate it so the previous symbol
(O and X's) match up.
2) Rotate with R1 ONCE and attach the piece next to the one you just
picked. (So two on the left are remaining). Rotate it twice using Square.
3) Rotate with R1 ONCE and attach the piece to the far left and rotate
it twice using Square.
4) Rotate with R1 ONCE and attach the remaining piece and rotate it
twice.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
We've finally finished the Silent Hill Rubix Cube. A cutscene will play
and when it ends, pick up an Ampoule off a box and exit through a door
next to a fire extinguisher. Go in a U shape to the last door and enter
it. You will go up a flight of stairs and guess where we are? We are at
the good ol' Alchemilla Hospital. Turn left, right, and save if you want
at the save point in front of you. Go straight on and through the door to
trigger an awesome cutscene.
Now I would recommend you use your Energy Drinks to run around quickly.
From where you are, turn left and go straight until you see a Child's Map.
~Note~
Once again, you can collect items here but I am going to take you straight
to where you need to go. This is a very hard place to navigate so you will
have to not just rely on my instructions. Weave around and you will find
where you are looking for.
Go a quick left and right and go straight up "Canneon" and when you can,
take a slight right on "Koonts". Weave around and you will find a path
leading up "Simons" and continue to go straight. You will come to a wall
where you need to turn right and find a small path around a Two-Back and
you will be forced to turn left. Turn right at another Two-Back and you
will come to a gap. Look to the left and there will be a small path
across it. Go straight and weave around the monsters and you will eventually
turn right into the area you need to be- the Antique Shop.
Go down the stairs and enter the room. Grab the memo off the desk and
check the hole next to a shelf. Now you will have to crawl a long ways.
Just hold the analog stick and enjoy the pretty music. Eventually you
will come to a room with a huge saving point. Uh oh, you know what that
means! So save here and turn right and a cutscene will trigger.
## Boss Battle ##
========================================================================
The first thing that the demon does is his fire attack where it is what
it sounds like. Balls of fire rain down on you and you can avoid them by
avoiding the shadows. Trust me, it's very tough to avoid these but luckily
they don't do too much damage. The most damaging attack is when you get
too close and he swipes with his claws.
This can easily be avoided by keeping a good distance away from him. The
third attack is when he shoots a beam of light at you and you can just
keep running and he will most likely miss. I've literally stood right
in front of him and he's missed but I wouldn't rely on that.
I recommend you use the Redeemer for most of this battle because it is
kick-butt. The Assault Rifle also is good and the Rifle, but try to avoid
the Shotgun. If you use the Redeemer it will take up most if not all your
ammo but it doesn't matter because you won't be using it later.
========================================================================
After the battle, you will be rewarded by the ending cutscene and the
credits.

=========
Endings
=========
There are three separate endings to the game.
--------------
Good Ending
--------------
This is the most easily received of the endings. Kill under 200 or so
enemies and do not pick up the key near the post office and you will
get it. You cannot pick up the key if you are on your first time
playing the game.
--------------
Bad Ending
-------------
Kill kill kill. Kill every monster you see and you will get this ending.
You supposedly need to kill 200+ but as I said, just keep killing and
you will get there.
------------
UFO ending
------------
This one you get by picking up the key next to the stairs of the post
office. It will be the Room 502 Key that you can only receive after
you beat the game at least once. Otherwise, the stairs will be blocked.

instead of relying on your map. It's tough, I know.
~Explorer~
How to get: Distance traveled must be greater than 22.5 km.

you did it right you will hear a chime.
Advice: You can do this anytime during gameplay.
================
Extra Options
================
These extra options are unlocked after beating the game once.
--Walk/Run--
Instead of you having to hold square to make Travis run, he will run
automatically. Hold square to have him walk.
--Extra Blood-
Now this is something. Selecting this option will make the game even
gorier with more blood.
--Noise Filter-
If you turn this off, your screen with not turn grainy if a monster
is near. You will be able to see the graphics easier also.
--Bloody Footprints-
A little random, but still cool. Inside of only having bloody footsteps
while walking over a dead monster, he always has them. Plus it makes a
icky squishing sound.
--Torch Projection-
Even more random. Project an image with your flashlight, weird huh?

These are all the memos I collected and what they say (for those of you
that missed them)-

Public Notice:
UNDER CONSTRUCTION
Currently the second and third
floors of the hospital are
undergoing renovations. At this
time they are closed to patients
and visitors. Work continues in
earnest and the hospital
management thanks you for your
continued cooperation as we try to
minimize the disruption.
We estimate the construction will
Be completed within six months.
The restructuring of the third
floor will almost double our
capacity for inpatients and
introduce cleaner, more modern
facilities.
Here at Alchemilla, the quality of
care we provide to you, our valued
patient, is of the utmost
importance.

Staff Notice:
CONSTRUCTION!
As you know, the renovations to
the upper floors have run into
problems! The plumbing leak and
substandard materials used have
forced us to close off the third
floor until further notice. We are
reminded of the familiar adage:
'you get what you pay for!' We
now face six more months of
work, reducing our capacity for
the coming year. We will have to
cut spending on inpatient care and
consultancy fees by 50%.
Therefore we ask doctors to refrain
from committing patients and
encourage home stays instead.
Unless they're dying in your arms,
don't book 'em in!
STAFF PARTY!
Worry not! The staff party is still
On (our recreation budget is locked

Status Report, 3/12/1960
Status Report, 3/12/1960
Patient: Mrs. ______ ______
Age: 34
Examining Doctor: Dr. Harris
Notes: Patient continues to harbor
strong fantasies and a violent
persecution complex. Her moods
can swing from calm to violent
aggression in a short time, which
has led to her being moved to the
seclusion wing. She becomes
particularly violent during the
occasional visits from her
husband, demanding that she be
allowed to see their child.
We have taken the precautionary
Step of adding Epolineum to Mrs.
_______ medication to prevent her
violent outbursts. I don't like
having to sedate patients, but when
she is aggressive, ______ is as much
of a danger to herself as to her
visiting husband and the staff.
--------------------------------------
Iron Lung Warning
OUT OF USE
In light of the recent accident I am
barring the use of the iron lung
equipment. This applies to all
staff, including senior nurses.
patient deaths during therapy are
not to be treated lightly. I find it
hard to believe that someone could
'accidentally' overload ever valve
on the equipment and so, until the
enquiry has concluded, I must
assume the equipment itself is at
fault. These precautions are
essential - we owe a duty of care
to all of our patients, even the
difficult ones.
Dr. Harris
--------------------------------------
Duty Log, Female Seclusion
9:30am: Administered medication
to the seclusion patients. There
were no incidents.
11:46am: Accompanied Dr. Harris on
his morning rounds. No incidents
of note.
3pm: Visit for Mrs. ______ from
her husband. Took her into the
empty dorm room so she would
feel more comfortable.
3:46pm: Mrs. ______ has attacked
her husband. During the visit she
had a violent episode and
attempted to throttle Mr. _______.
She was heard screaming by myself
and the attending orderly and we
managed to restrain her - though it
took three of us, despite her being
a female of slight build.
After we sedated her and took her
back to her room, Dr. Harris
examined her and decided to
reinstate her does of Epolineum.
5:12pm: After the incident with
Mrs. ______, the other patients have
become agitated and restless.
Harris has ordered a lock down.
----------------------------------------
'Magpie' Note
Dr. Harris,
Our 'magpies' have been at it again.
This time they SWALLOWED the
Damn keys for Archives and the
Basement.
Don't worry... Gary has taken Mr.
Magpie to the TB Ward and I'm
taking Mrs. Magpie to
hydrotherapy. We'll make them
spit the keys out!
This job would be great if it
weren't for the patients!

Status Report, 2/7/1961
Status Report, 2/7/1961
Patient: Mrs. _____ _____
Age: 35
Examining Doctor: Dr. Harris
Notes: Mrs. ______ condition has
degraded dramatically in the last
few months. Her fantasies of a
'mirror world' have become more
acute, and she spends more and
more time in an apparent catatonic
state. She claims that during this
time she is in the 'other world.'
She now has full recollection of
her attack on her son, but shows
no remorse for the incident. Indeed
she seems proud, almost smug of
her attempted filicide! I am
worried that this behavior could
be a side effect of the increased
doses of Epolineum that the
patient has been prescribed. I have
asked for her dose to be halved and
hope to see positive results
shortly.
---------------------------------------
Police Report
Attending Officer's Report.
11/4/1959. 1NO: VA4545-10.
When I arrived at the _______
House, the ambulance was already
at the scene. The neighbor Mr.
Bryant (who first called in the
incident) had restrained Mrs.
______ and the paramedics were
tending to the child. The husband,
Mr. ______ had not yet arrived back
from his place of work.
Thanks to Bryant's intervention,
the gas had been turned off and the
house ventilated -- however, there
was still a strong smell and I
deemed it necessary to call the fire
department as a precaution.
It appeared that Mrs. ______ had
attempted to has herself and her
child. When I spoke to the
suspect, Mrs. _______, she was
uncooperative and seemed enraged.
She demanded I release her so she
could 'kill the devil child.' She
was clearly not in control of her
mind.
Mr. Bryant commented that several
times in the pervious weeks, he
had heard loud arguments and
screams from the house. He said
'Helen has not been well for a
while.'

Amber Incident Report
AMBER INCIDENT REPORT
Reporting Staff Member: Simons
Incident Description: A male child
Entered into the sanitarium
unchallenged and got through into
Female seclusion (doors were left
unlocked). He entered Female
Seclusion Room 5, at which [point
Orderly Michaels observed him and
alerted me. The boy was the child
of a visitor and was taken away by
his father.
Failures: The doors to Female
Seclusion were left unlocked by
the orderly, and the staff in the
lobby failed to notice the boy
when he arrived in the mezzanine
area.
Recommendation: All staff to be
reminded of the importance of
locking ward doors. Review of
staff to be conducted by duty
managers.
------------------------------------
Patient Notes
The new patient, Helen Grady
arrived today. I was surprised to
see how calm and well behaved she
was.
After reading her notes I was
worried that she might be
something of a handful.
The woman is in complete denial
and claims no recollection of the
incident which saw her committed.
Indeed, she has asked repeatedly to
be allowed to see her son! I have
agreed with her husband that it is
best that the boy be kept away
from his mother.
While there seems little hope for
any long term recovery, I look
forward to spending some time
with Mrs. Grady -- her condition is
most fascinating.

Technician's Warning
Peter,
Good luck getting ANYTHING to
work. This place was wired by
IDIOTS! The safety curtain is on
the same circuit as the spotlights.
If a light blows, the whole thing
fuses and you can't move the
safety curtain. IDIOTS. Safety
inspectors would blow a fuse
(literally!) if they saw this stuff.
Wouldn't happen in the city! See
you when I get back.

useful feedback - terrified by
Caliban (good job costume dept!)!
Seemed to dislike Prospero
intensely. Proceedings brought to
premature end by poor Tony
getting a shocking nosebleed during
Act 1, Scene 3. Will continue
tomorrow!

Production Notes
Jack says the town is located on
old 'spiritual ground' ... hopefully
we will be blessed!!!
Prospero = Shaman. Feathers,
smoke, totemic magic.
Ariel = Air spirit. Flight?
Projection? Puppets?
Caliban = Buffalo spirit. Skins +
Berkoffian performance. On all
fours. Poor actor!

Since what happened to Tony, I've

He looks just like that monster,

Now I've seen him when I'm

swear it!
------------------------------------------
Wiring Notes
Peter,
As expected, the spotlights are as
SCREWY as the rest of this place.
Finally got them working. My
trusty voltmeter saved the day
again! Remember, you need ALL the
lights working, otherwise the
circuit blows. Throwing the
circuit breaker gets old FAST. Here
are my notes:
B has to be half the wattage of D.
A + B must not exceed C.
Wattage of D must not exceed A.
Break a leg!!

"Repression and Coercion"
Chapter 2: Repression & Coercion
It is a fact well known to
intelligence services and military
agents: the more controlled a
mind, the more a mind censors
itself, the easier it is for outside
influences to take hold and
piggyback such mental
programming.
This is why these agencies choose
for their pawns those individuals
most compromised by their own
mental issues.
---------------------------------------------
"An Id Torn in Two"
Throughout these case studies, we
see the victims' brains struggling
to cope with the conflict caused by
abuse at the hands of a loved one.
In many of the cases, the abused
child's self appears to split in
two.
One personality continues to love
the abuser and seeks their
approval. The other personality
contains all the rage and anger of
the abused and in many ways
becomes a mirror of the abuser,
seeking to inflict its pain on
others. Sadly, it is often this self
that becomes dominant.
--------------------------------------------
"Manifestations of Delusions"
CHAPTER 3
MANIFESTATIONS OF DELUSIONS
...phenomenon such as telekinesis
('poltergeists' to use a popular
term) often occur. These seem
frequent alongside negative
emotions (fear, worry, or stress)
suggesting it is these emotions
which are manifesting as external
energy with physical effects.
Nightmares are especially strong
triggers. In all cases, these
phenomena arise from children or
adolescents and the overwhelming
majority of subjects are female.

To my beloved wife,
I miss you so intensely. Watching
them take you away was like a
dagger through my heart. It had to
be done, but now I am so alone.
At the doctor's advice, I told
Travis you were dead. Maybe it
would be better if you were...

Note on the Ritual
... it is believed a being of
tremendous mental energy may
become a vessel capable of giving
birth to Samael, the God
worshipped by this cult.
Samael's arrival will bring forth
Paradise on Earth.
(Something has been added in the
margin.)
Given that this vessel is to be
molded with 'suffering and pain,'
just what kind of God and what
kind of 'paradise' would result?

Janitor's Note
Juana,
One of the laundry machines is
busted again. The weird guy in
Cleopatra was shouting at me,
wanted me to go fix it but I
couldn't leave the reception.
Anyhow, after getting all red in
the face, the fella just ran off.
Hasn't been back since -- up and
drove off.
Could take a look at the
machine when you get a minute?
Stick a token in it and do the reset
thing (Set it to low spin, 60 wash,
drain then pre-rinse).
Put anything you find inside in
the lost and found.
Thanks, Ed

We are almost ready, but must

draws strength from the core I
hold. I will leave it behind, hidden

Grady is unlikely to return here,
he is still running around town
chasing after ghosts. He is ignorant
of the bigger picture anyway.
I will wait for you here, finish

"To a ghost"
To a ghost,
There's no pretending now is there?
We both know that thing at Cedar
Grove isn't you. You died the day
you tried to kill our son.
When I brought your gift today,
when you smashed it, I finally
woke up.
I've been dreaming all these years,
kidding myself, that you'll be right
one day. The Helen I loved is dead.
I try to remember how it was all
those years ago today, when we got
married. I can't remember
anymore. I'm tired. I know Travis
will be fine on his own. I'm going
to see you again, Helen.
Yours in forever, Richard
----------------------------------------------
Yellow Page
Flauros Device: Origin unknown.
The device is first mentioned in
the poetry of Chang Ch'ien, an
advisor to members of the early
Han dynasty. In one of his tracts,
Chang Ch'ien jokes he trapped a
demon inside his single 'three
sided box'.
When Chang Ch'ien died in a
terrible fire at the imperial palace
in 115 BC, the device appeared lost.
It was later rumored to be in
possession of Lutheran monk M. G.
Lewis, who in 1796 spoke of its
ability to control and amplify
thought. It was Lewis who linked
it not to a demon, but to a God
himself, claiming it was a weapon
left by angels as a force for good.
************************************************************************
+------------------------+
Section 9: Glitches
+------------------------+
~Note~
These are for the PS2 version of the game.
Invisible Travis:
While down the Maintenance hall in the Riverside Motel (not in
the Other world), walk to the very end near the Shotgun photo
except to the camera on the left side. Turn around and check the
peephole (where the butcher is) without the camera changing. Then
run forward away from the table. If you do this right, you won't
see Travis anymore! To reverse this, go back to the table or keep
going forward.
Changing gun pictures
Simply have gun equipped, reload any gun using the menu, and the
picture of the gun changes.
Backwards face:
As soon as you are through the doors, press the R1 to have the camera
behind Travis, and use the katana and slash at the Ariels. The graphics
will warp and you will see Travis's face backwards and other odd things.
This is hard to do but it is really weird when it works.
Other:
* Travis's glasses in the Codebreaker costume have a dark box behind
them randomly.
* Sometimes the sound doesn't work when going through the mirror
* When you first go into the first mirror in the hospital wearing a
costume, Travis's reflection doesn't change.
* Sometimes the sound when selecting an item lasts longer than usual.
* You may not be able to get both the butcher ending and the UFO
ending on the same file if you use the same game play-through (on
two save files). To remedy this, I've found that you may have to
play a complete game with the bad ending, save to a separate file,
play on that new file, finish the game with the UFO ending, and save
on the same file that the bad ending is on.
************************************************************************
+-------------------+
Section 10: FAQ
+-------------------+
This is a question section that you, as the reader, are welcome to add
to.
Q: What is the purpose of the Night Vision Goggles?
A: These basically help you see in the dark. As you know, most of the
game takes place in darkness and sometimes your puny little flashlight
just isn't enough. When equipped, the screen will have a green tinge
and you will be able to see better in darkness.
Q: You said the Stalker costume is easy, are you sure?
A: Yes I am sure. The flashlight time DOES NOT COUNT while you are
walking through the streets of Silent Hill. You may have noticed that
you cannot turn your flashlight on or off at those times. So if you
beat the game in about 3 (maybe 4) hours or under (which is easy to do)
then you will be guaranteed to get this accolade.
Q: What's with the giant Carrion spinning in random circles and
disintegrating into a black cloud when you kill it?
A: I have no idea, it's really weird isn't it?
Q: What happens in the Bad/UFO ending?
A: I don't want to give it away but if you really want to know, send
me an email.
Q: Will I get the Collector costume if I follow your walkthrough exactly
and pick up every item you say?
A: Honestly, probably not. I left out some items so you might have to
do some exploring on your own. Try looking for items around the streets
of the town, there are plenty of items there.
Q: How many enemies do I need to kill to get the Bad ending?
A: Hoo boy, that's a long debated question. I wrecked havoc with my
Moon Gauntlets and killed over 200. If you have the Tesla Rifle, just
kill everything you see. You don't have to search for monsters in the
town like I originally though. Try to get 130+ monsters and you should
get it.
Q: Help! I can't get the two endings on one file! What do I do?
A: See my glitches section to remedy this.
Q: Is there an easy mode/hard mode for this game?
A: Nope, there isn't. But if you beat the game once and get the Tesla
Rifle, Moon Gauntlets, or Butcher's Knife, it will make the game pretty
darn easy.
To make it hard, just try to kill enemies with some Jagged Wood. :)
Q: What is the difference between the PSP version of the game and the
PS2 version?
A: More glitches and a few other option changes such as languages and
that's about it.
Q: I don't know what aspect ration to choose. What do you recommend?
A: It depends on what size of TV you have. It may look more stretched
in one aspect ratio versus the other one. Try it out to see which one
will work best for your TV. Thanks to Paul Yiu for this info!
