I (lethal) started the faq yesterday, so I had to go back an play through the game and write all of it down. So that is the reason the walkthrough is still unfinished.

I don't even want to spoil the rest of the game for myself, so i am keeping secrets and endings guide out until I at least get two or more endings. CONTROLLS Since you already have the manual, you already know what to do. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- II. INTRODUCTION ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Silent Hill 2 was introduced late in 2000. But everyone knew it was coming out several months earlier when Konami tested Silent Hill with PS2 graphics. By that time, the fans of the original game were excited about experience the game in next-generation graphics. Except for me, as Silent Hill left me emotionally scarred.I had to go through countless therapy sessions to forget about little demon children. But I guess I caved in , bought the game and wrote this faq. OFFICIAL STORY: Silent Hill 2 returns players back to the eerie town of Silent Hill in a new story with all new characters. Players assume the role of James, who receives a cryptic letter from his wife beckoning him to meet her in Silent Hill, a place that holds great meaning for the couple. What would normally be a comforting, even romantic letter, scares and confuses James – his wife has been dead for three years. The mystery of the letter compels him to return to the surreal horror and all-too-real danger in Silent Hill. LETHAL'S INTERPRETATION OF THE STORY: James is into dead women. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- III. CHARACTERS- by Tdeath (tyrantdeath@hotmail.com) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- James Sunderland: His life was happy, he had a good life, a loving wife, and no real worries. But James Sunderland could never have possibly imagined what would happen to make his world become destroyed, his loving wife, Mary, had suddenly captured a rare disease, striking James in the most bitter of ways as he watched her die slowly and painfully for a very long time, until she finally died a sudden death one day, leaving him forever. James is naturally grief stricken over this, and even though it has been several years, he still mourns every couple of days, unable to take the pain of her never being there, the pain of seeing things around him every day of his life that remind him of his departed love, and he is apparently lost his meaning to life. James is a man who has nothing to lose, and will take out anything that stands in his way of finding Mary, but otherwise is a simple and polite man. Mary Shepherd Sunderland A quiet and polite woman, once wife to James Sunderland. Having been deceased three years ago, it seems frightening that she would suddenly come back from the dead and begin writing cryptic love letters to James, effectively scaring the hell out of him and filling him full of hope at the same time. But you know what they say, "Love does strange things to a person..." and in this case, that exact quote may have a lot of point... Angela Orosco The very first human that James stumbles upon in Silent Hill. She is apparently searching for her mother and siblings, summoned in a very simillar way to Silent Hill as James has. On the outside, she looks and sounds like a very level headed and pleasant woman, although a little nervous. But on the inside, there is something tormenting and posessing her, driving her slowly to madness. Her past has been a sad one, running from home several times because of her father, who sounds like a sick and abusive man who had tormented her once her mother and siblings were away. But it may actually be quite the opposite, her "mama" and siblings may not even exist... Laura A little girl wandering the barren and evil streets of Silent Hill on her lonesome, and somehow surviving without even a scratch. She is perhaps the only surviving local of Silent Hill, and knows all, but seeing as how she hates James with an extremely bitter animosity, she isn't exactly willing to tell all. If it were not for this unknowning hatred for James, she would actually be a normal, innocent child. She is actually kind and curious as young children should be, but once again this unknown hate for James keeps her from being anything but kind to the player. As ridiculous as her bitterness seems, she may actually have quite a good reason for hating him, and he perhaps has commited a terrible crime, without even knowing... Maria Mysterious, flirtatious, and always curious, A mysterious woman who bears a resemblance to Mary, James's dead wife. The simillarity is in the face and the voice, but otherwise non existant. She has a polar opposite personality to Mary, very provocative and ambitious to Mary's quiet and polite manner. James can't help but feel as though he is talking to his wife when he speaks to her, however, and the level of intimacy that their conversations have is so high sometimes that James could barely distinguish. But Mary's future is undetermined, and it may be very, very black indeed... Eddie Eddie is hands down the most disturbed character in Silent Hill 2. When you first meet him, he is praying to the porcelain god outside of a room with a dead man in it, to which he repeatedly defends himself (even without James asking if he did it), saying "I didn't do it! I didn't kill anybody!" and is very cowardly and pathetic. His normal persona, when not puking and denying obviously recent committed crimes, is actually very outgoing and generous. He has the mind of a child, you could say. But there is another side of Eddie that he cannot control, a side that is insane, murderous, and overtly paranoid. This side unfortunately comes out more than one would hope, and he might just get in James's way of finding Mary, and James may not be too happy about that. Perhaps a confrontation is iminent in the future.... ----------------------------------------------------------------------- IV. WEAPONS ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Stick The wooden plank can be summed up in 3 simple words: easy, effective, fast. People denounce the plank with nails in it because it looks flimsy, but soon after use, you realize all it takes is a lot of skill, and you can go through the first half of the game with it. It also uses no ammo, and is the first weapon you get. And even if you don't like the wooden plank with nails in it, get used to it, because it's all your getting through the first level. Gun Like Harry, James is quite a bad shot, and the dark enviroment doesn't help the situation. This weapon is more for cloes range and desperate situations. Steel Pipe Yes, the steel pipe makes a return from Silent Hill. But this time it's bigger and a lot more powerful. The Steel Pipe has three attacks: the normal swings which are done by tapping the X button, and then you can hold X and release the R2 button and he'll stab the pipe right through the enemy, and then press both buttons down at the same time and he'll bring it down hard on their head. A very fun weapon to use. Great Knife Pyramid Head (aka The Butcher) at one time wielded this weapon. It was the sword he dragged behind him that you feared so greatly. Well, after you kill him, you find his hide out and discover the gigantic blade among a mess of blood. James decides it would be a fine weapon indeed, so you take it and now you can be just like The Butcher, dragging the sword behind you and then you see a Nurse Demon and...**slice** with one hit! Careful though, this thing is as slow as James dragging it. (how do you think you won against the Butcher in the first place?!) Chainsaw Oh you damn right. The chainsaw is back and it's no ordinary chainsaw. this thing is a BIG chainsaw. you can slash through anything with it, and it will even cut enemies in half! And James can also go temporarily insane when using it, waving it in the air and screaming like a mad man. It's real funny to watch. Hyper Spray This will be unlocked once you get the same ending twice. This stuff is interesting. You can spray it directly at ANY enemy in the game (including bosses) and they will stop dead in their tracks, allowing you to dispose of them however you want. Careful though, James can be hurt (and possibly killed) by this spray if you use it too much at once. Handgun Well, a new handgun and it's much more powerful, but the problem is it can only hold 10 bullets. You find it around the second level, where you gladly acceot it into your humble inventory. Shotgun Double Barreled action. This thing is one of the most powerful weapons in the game and has no equal. But the problem is that it takes a long time to aim, shoot, and then comes the recoil. If somehow you don't take out the enemy on the first shot, you'll most definitely get hit. A couple of nice things about the shotgun is it has six shots and is auto loading. Very cool. High Powered Hunting Rifle Beware, Patients and Mannequins, this gun is your worst nightmare. This thing will not only kill them in one (or if they're lucky two shots) shot, but it will send 'em flying back to wherever they came. James somehow knows how to hold the thing too, and he does it well. Maybe he did some huntin' back in the day? Seeing the way he handles that chainsaw, he may just have a bit of a killer in em... ----------------------------------------------------------------------- V. ENEMIES ----------------------------------------------------------------------- I just avoid every enemy and kill when I have to, tdeath on the other hand likes to fight. ---------------------------------------- Patient Demons (Straight jacket Monster) ---------------------------------------- Background Info: These monsters have had many different names before hand, ranging from straitjacket monster, stretching monster, even orifice! But the official name is apparently the Patient Demon. these demons were once part of either the psychiatric ward of the Brookhaven hospital or the residents of Silent Hill, turned into demons once brought into the nightmare/hell world, where they appeared in both dimensions. You can tell the difference between certain kinds, but they aren't very distinguishable. In any case, these things are disgusting, vile creatures that have had their straitjacket melded together with an extra layer of skin that has been put upon them. They spit clouds of acidic vomit and are tough competitiors if not dealt with correctly. Strategies: Any weapon will put them into submission, but it is wise to use the Nail Plank because you can down them in three to four shots with it, then stomp on them quickly so that they don't scurry away and regenerate. Attacks: Vomit Cloud Foot Chew ---------------------------------------- GIANT ROACHES ---------------------------------------- Background Info: We all remember these from Silent Hill. They were a petty annoyance, and often got in the way when trying to attack bigger enemies or getting past a walkway. Well, in Silent Hill 2, they are no different, except for the fact they are much more weaker... Strategies: If you want to attack them tactically, well then here you go: stomp on them. You don't have to knock them down first, you can stomp on them already without even hitting them. You can also run over them. If you really want to be an evil little bastard, use the handgun on them. -I just avoid them, using a zig-zag pattern. (lethal) ---------------------------------------- Disformed Mannequin ---------------------------------------- Background Info: A very interesting creature. They were at one time mannequins that are seen in shopping malls and clothing stores, but were chopped off at the midsection and sewn together , making two lower body halves come to life with evil. Although their attacks can be tough, they are in poor reach of you and can easily be put into submission Strategies: Since they can put a hurt on you, make sure your taking on only one when using the Nail Plank. If there are multiple ones, use the handgun or shotgun. But the steel pipe is very effective later on, 'tis their bane. Attacks: Kick/punch?! can't tell. --------------------------------------- UNDERHANGERS --------------------------------------- Underhangers Background Info: Yet another new creature in Silent Hill 2. These once human creatures have obviously had some changes, as they sport gigantic, parasitical arms that hide blood sucking tendrils underneath. They fortunately can only attack under the grates of the nightmare world's floors, and are easy targets for you if you want to attack them. Strategies: Basically just run and they'll never hit you. But if you want to fight, continuously step away while firing a gun and they'll eventually fall to the ground below, making a satisfactory smack. Attacks: Blood Suck - I think the blood suck also can stun James. --------------------------------------- DOORMEN --------------------------------------- Doormen Background Info: Very interesting creatures indeed. They apparently are creatures that got melded with doors, making for the most odd creature you'll ever see. The first one you fight is a boss, and is very difficult to attack, as it is extremely strong. These things have an instant death move in which they eat you through the slit on the bottom of the tables, and can tackle you as well. Very dangerous creatures in general, and should be dealt with swiftly. Strategies: Use the shotgun, since rifle ammo is sparse. If your one on one with a doorman, then use the steel pipe, but only if you have an exceptionally large amount of room. Strategies: (the boss fight) (nullfire@netzero.net) This battle can be tough, as this is a very small room and the enemy is quite wide. When he gets close he'll bite on your head. As with previous bosses, you'll want to keep on the opposite side of the room when you're attacking. If you've got hunting rifle ammo, use it. About 10-12 shots will kill him. If you can get a little distance from the enemy, fire off two shots and wait a second. Two hits will knock him down. Allow him to get up then fire two more shots into him. Move to the other side of the room, reload and repeat the process. Attacks: Tackle Consume (Instant Death) --------------------------------------- HANGERS --------------------------------------- Background Info: Monsters confined to cells in the ceiling. you face three of them in Brookhaven Hospital as a boss fight. They can strangle James, but other than that, this boss fight should be relatively painless. Strategies: run across the room from the hangers, and don't go under them. As long as your using the shotgun on the first two, then things should go easy enough. On the last one, use the handgun. Attacks: Leg Choke --------------------------------------- Crazy Eddie --------------------------------------- Indeed. Eddie finally cracks and believes James is a bad guy, so after letting all of the truths revealed about him, James and him battle to the death. This is a damned hard battle if your not careful. For veterans of Silent Hill, this is the Cybil fight. Strategies: for the first time around, keep blasting. Keep your bullets in check and just keep blasting. When the dual shock controller begins vibrating really violently, that means hit the R3 button, which is the right analog stick, and you'll automatically recover using a health item. For the second form, hide behind the meats, popping out to shoot the hell out of the man, and then hiding back again. If your good, you can pop out and go up right behind him and use the chainsaw or Shotgun and then hide again and he will never get a shot in. Another good tactic if your not good at dodging shots is to go right up to Eddie, as he will instead try and beat the crap out of James, which is a lot easier to deal with. If your able to keep a somewhat cool head during this battle, you'll survive, but Eddie won't. Strategies: (nullfire@netzero.net) There's no real tactic to this fighting this battle. If you run, Fatty will shoot you. Just raise your best weapon (hopefully you've got some hunting rifle shells) and keep firing. Heal if you need to (you shouldn't have to more than once). After Fatty runs away, follow him to the next room. Boss Battle: Again, you don't need to follow any strategy. Keep firing at him until he's dead. It should only take about 10 shots from the hunting rifle. You may need to heal once, as he'll get a few shots in during reloading. Strategies (iceheart0@earthlink.net) Anyway I think I found a good way to deal with Eddie, when I fought him Iused a ampoule and then Great Knifed his ass!! And he went running scared,in the meat locker I hid behind some meat and waited for Eddie to come and used a ampoule then Great Knifed him again and he went down on his lard ass. Could you try this out and see how well it works for you. Attacks: Gun Shot Punch --------------------------------------- PYRAMID HEAD (1st Encounter info) --------------------------------------- Backround Info: Wheres a visor or something. Likes to "get down" with monsters. Isn't much of a threat until you face it. Your mysterious nemesisthroughout the game, he wields many different weapons and is very deadly with all of them. you best strategy is to always stay on the move and, above all, STRAFE. The first encounter will have you fighting against him and the great knife, which if James is only nicked by, will deplete more than a half of your life on all difficulties. If your even remotely close to him though, you get, shall we say, "cleaved". The second time, seeing as how you've taken his precious sword, he now wields a spear, which can either impale you or hurt you severley. The second to last battle of the game requires you to fight two of them at once!! thankfully, the strategy is all here. Strategies: The first encounter will be you vs the butcher with his big sword. The environment that you fight in will be a squared room. what you want to do is keep him in the center, shooting and unloading a full clip of your handgun into him. Put yourself into the corners of the room, and the moment you see even a little portion of his body enter the camera, STRAFE to the next corner of the room , repeating the process. Never let him be trailing the walls, as then he will approach you head on, and thats really hard to dodge. (Kingoffighters23@aol.com wrote:) Hey I noticed in your FAQ/walkthrough that you say to attack the first boss(P. head). You do not need to hit him even once. He will leave on his own when the music changes. Just avoid him. Throughout the game he will continue to stalk you and Maria. Careful, he loves using those variety of toys of his. --------------------------------------- PYRAMID HEAD (2nd Encounter 2X love) --------------------------------------- The second encounter will leave you crying for mercy, as there are now two Pyramid Heads to contend with, each wielding long and angry spears. The strategy is basically the same as last time, except now they have become wise to the tactics James implies. You'll want to alternate the directions of your strafing now, as they will eventually learn your pattern, then block you and ultimately kabob you. Of course, use the shotgun and rifle. and never ever reload using the default reload, alway reload via the menu screen. Strategies: (nullfire@netzero.net) This should be a very easy battle. This is a large room, so just keep your distance. Run to a corner and blast a few rounds into the enemy. Run to the opposite corner when they get close. You shouldn't take any damage if you're careful. After a fair amount of damage they will stop coming after you. --------------------------------------- FINAL BOSS --------------------------------------- so as not to spoil the game, here is the strategies for the final boss. simple. Strafe when the thing unleashes the cloud of black moths upon you, or run away in a cirular motion, much like in the first game with the lightning. And fire off one or two shots from the rifle and repeat. Careful of this boss getting close to you, it'll choke you with the long black tail while screaming in your face...not a lovely way to go. After pumping it full of enough rifle shells, it will drop to the ground screaming, begging for a quick death. Give it the executioner's shot. Strategies: nullfire@netzero.net As with all previous bosses, you'll want to keep your distance, fire a few shots, and then run to a new spot. This boss has an odd attack, however, that will make you move a little differently. She will throw out a swarm of butterflies. Try running underneath her to get her to throw out the butterflies. Keep running as they chase you. Just as they start to dissipate, turn and fire a few shots at the enemy. Keep using this tactic and you should be fine. She also has a close attack where she grabs you with a tentacle. Don't let her get too close to you. After you've shot her a bit she'll fall to the floor. The only thing left to do is to walk up and shoot her one last time. Enjoy the ending. attacks: moths choke ----------------------------------------------------------------------- VI. STRATEGY YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE YOU START (by lethal) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- -Don't fight. This ain't Resident Evil, James is not a member of S.T.A.R.S. -(R2+SQUARE)+ X. All this means is run with stick in attack mode, a press x everytime something gets in James' way. i swear it's hillarious when he misses. -Don't kill anything. So far (2+ hrs.) I only had to kill one monster, and I did it becuase he was looking at me weird. -Run. Yeah, if you continue to run, James, will get slower and slower, but who cares, he's just a video game character. The only place you walk is within rooms you know are safe from enemies. -Conserve Health Drinks. Even if you get hurt once, don't use the health drinks until your in the red. You can check you status by pressing start. If you see that the screen has turned red, then you should take a drink. It's just common sense. I think I learned to conserve after playing Code Veronica. -Conserve Ammo. You'll need it for the boss fights later on in the game. Besides, James, is a bad shot. -shoot but don't kill. Especially with tougher enemies, use weapons to maim but never spend to much time trying to kill enemies. A good example fo this would be when your in the company of Maria, every moment you spend trying to kill something, is the same moment Maria could be harmed. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- WALKTHROUGH -Normal difficulty, Normal Puzzles. (by lethal) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- From the opening scene make a left. After exiting the bathroom, there will be at the scene in which James talks about getting the letter. After the cuts scene examine the car to find the map. After you get the map walk left until you make it to the Toruca lake entrance. Go down the path until you reach a well, examine the well to find the first save spot. Continue on until you reach the gates and enter. Continue to walk into the fog until you stumble upon a girl kneeling on the ground. A cut scene occurs in which your introduced to Maria. After the cut scene turn left. Then continue on till you to get to a house. To the right of the house is a gate enter it. that continue along the path , pass the cars, pass the ranch, and continue until you reach the to the building that leads you into the town. Now continue to walk through the pass there should be a body of water (or fog) on James' right. --------------------------- TOWN --------------------------- Once you enter the town, most of the buildings will be not be accessible, continue to walk until you get to the corner of Sanders Street and Lindsey Street, a cut scene will be activated in which you must follow the trail of blood. Continue down Lindsey Street and take a right on Vachss road. Continue down the road, you will notice the red save object on the table, which isn't accessible yet. Just continue down the path until you he reached a boarded up tunnel. A cut scene will occur in which you finally meet your first monster (patient demon). James will grab a board with a nail in it, and will look like if he want to beat on the monster pretty bad. The monster doesn't even attack. A few swings will put it down for good. Exit the tunnel and another cut scene will follow. On your way back to town, notice that the area where you found the red save object. The area is now open. In the lower left corner of the area, there will be a health drink. There will also be another health drink under the table. When your ready to leave the area, save your game. From here on out, the monsters will go at full strength, as A tip, DO NOT EVEN TRY TO FIGHT, the point is to survive. James isn't a super hero, he can, and will lose. Just pass every monster you try to fight as James is quite the klutz and misses, even with a stick. Make your way down to Saul Street, on the lower bottom of your map. While walking down that road, you will notice an open trailer, enter that. Once Inside, you will notice a red object save. Save your game, but also remember to grab that piece of paper on the couch. The paper will give you a clue to head up to Neely's bar on Neely street (center of map). Head to Neely's bar, making sure to avoid any un-necessary monster fights. The main door to the bar will be closed, but you will be able to access the bar through the side door. Once inside, grab the map in the corner, and your map with open up. It will now have circled both the Woodside Apartment area, as well as the dead end to Martin street. Make your way down to up to Martin street until you reach the end. When you reach the end of the street, turn left and you'll discover body, search the body and you'll find the apartment gate key. --------------------------- WOODSIDE APARTMENT COMPLEX --------------------------- Now head to the Woodside apartment complex and use the key on the chain link fence doorway. Once inside the complex, enter the first doorway you see. Once inside, turn left and you should find the map of the first floor of the building. Also search the room for the red object save, make sure to save your game. Now make your way up the staircase until you get to your first door (off to the side). Enter that door. Now make your way right until you reach room 205, now once you enter this room, you must remember that a sleazy mannequin monster is lying on the ground waiting to pounce, It will not harm you until you do the next thing on this list. Notice the the light shining from the mannequin, examine that light and you will get the flashlight (which you can turn off and on by pressing o). As soon as you do that, the demon will wake up and then attack. You got options, I suggest you leave the place, but if your hungry for action, be my guest. Now make your way to room 208. If you look on the bookcase you will find the room 202 key (*I might have overlooked it, or didn't get it until I went back later) now go into the room with the clock. Turn on your flashlight and go to the wall with some scribbles on them. When you do that, you will give given the following names: Henry Mildred Scott Remember this for later Now go to the clock and read the text on the right side of the clock. After that it will give you an option to push the clock. Pick no, as you are unable to push it. Then look at the face of the clock and it should read : 7:46 and 15 seconds Now backtrack and make your way to the staircase. Once in that area, climb the stairs until you reach another door. Enter it, and make sure your light is on. There should now be some bars to the right of James. Examine the bars and you will be asked if you want to pick up the key. As you try, the evilness that is Laura appears. It seems as if you can't reach the key. It's best to move on. Now make your way to Room 301. There should be a bright red shopping cart , examine it and you will receive the hand gun. NOTE: DON'T USE IT YET. YEAH, YOU MAY FEEL SAFER, BUT ALL YOUR DOING IS WASTEING AMMO FOR A BIGGER FIGHT IN THE FUTURE. Now make your way back to 2F and James will discover a noise north of his location. If you go north, near room 208, you will discover the solitary figure of a monster. You can't harm it, which means that it's not a good thing. Now enter room 208 and you will discover another dead body. Now search the bookcase get the room 202 key if you didn't get it earlier. Now exit the room. Don't panic, BUT THAT CREEPY MONSTER IS GONE. Make your way to room 202, and turn on your light. Go into the room with the red glow and make sure to investigate the hole in the wall. After a few moments of terror, you received the clock key. Now make your way back to room 208. Now you are able to open the face on the clock. Examine the clock face and go into your inventory and select the clock key, use it and now you will be treated to a puzzle: Remember Henry, Mildred and Scott? That's the key to this puzzle. Henry's arrow represents hours, Mildred Represents Minutes, and Scott Represents Seconds. If you look closely, and add all the data together, you should come up with 9:10 and 15 seconds. After you set that time, go to the right side of the clock and read the text, and press yes to move the clock. The clock will now be movable. Enter the hole and now you'll be in a safe house, there will be a red save object on the left. Save your game. Make sure to make your way to the kitchen and get the health drink. Now exit out the other door across from the kitchen. Now make a right and go out the blue door. Then take the stairs up to the next floor and enter the door. Then make your way to the area where that evil child kicked the key from your hand and get the fire escape key-there will be two patient demons guarding the key, so make sure to get out of there as fast as you can. Then make your way to room 307, and you will be treated to some monster porn :-(, anyways, you will know this figure pretty much through out the whole game. After the cut scene, go back into the closet and get the courtyard key. Now make your way down and go into room 303, there is a patient demon in here, but there is also a first aid kit. Just avoid the demon all together. Now exit the room Now, to the right of room 303 is staircase, just follow down the hall until you reach the blue door, passing 304 and 305. Go down the stairs and you will find a room with a door missing, go down that hall and make sure that you have you light equipt , then examine the object on the ground, and get the canned juice. Now make your way back to the 2f, and make your way to the room with a garbage chute jam (next to room 203), it should be circled on the map. Now, examine the chute and select canned juice from your inventory to unclog the chute. Exit the chute room, and make a left, now enter the blue door that leads to a stairway. This is the first stairway you first took (the one with the save). Before you go outside, examine the door left of the red object save, you will be able to unlock it with the courtyard key you found during that whole "porn" fiasco , now make your way outside. make your way out into the surrounding area Apartment complex, and into the alley in the middle of the complex, you should find a magazine and the old man coin. Read the memo, now return to the stairway area with the save and enter the door that leads to the courtyard. --------------------------- COURTYARD --------------------------- Now make your way to the pool in the middle of the courtyard. Being that James is such a klutz, he will fall into the pool. There will be three patient demons in the pool. DO not fight, it's hard enough fighting one when you have to deal with three. Just examine the baby stroller and grab the snake coin. DO NOT try and use the pool ladder to get out since it doesn't work, I made this dumb mistake and lost a lot of life. Just walk to the opposite side of the pool and there should be steps leading up to your safety. Now go to the door to the right of the pool area, in the South East region of the area. Enter the door, and make your way to room 101, you will get a cut scene and be introduced to Eddie and his buttcrack. After that scene, back track and return to the area with the red object save. Make your way to the second floor, and make a left as soon as you enter. When you enter, James will notice that there is no fire escape and jump into the window of another building. --------------------------- APARTMENT 2 I forgot the name right now, sue me. --------------------------- Now head into the bathroom and James will notice a wallet floating amongst the chunks (of course he grabs it and finds this memo: 12>> 01 << 02 >> 07 (it's randomly generated, but I will use my example) Now leave the bathroom and make a left into the bigger room. In the kitchen there should be another health drink. If you search the rest of the room, you will see a safe sitting on a chair. I think this is the combination to move the dial in one direction, follow the guidelines I put (don't you second guess me!). Whenever the code says move in this direction >> or << use your directional pad to move in that direction. start and put the dial to twelve (I went left first, but I think it shouldn't matter) 12, then I turned the dial >> until I reached 1, then with one click << I turned the dial to 2 then finally turned the dial >> to 07. The prize is a whole load of bullets, and you will need them soon enough. Now, make your way to the door across from the safe. Once outside, make a right, until you find the white and blue trim door that usually leads to a a stair well. On James' left, you will find the map of the building on the wall. If you go back into the second floor, you will notice all the doors are locked, on one of the doors there is a note, it tells you that you that there is a key somewhere on the first floor. Now head down the staircase (where you found the map) and head to room 105 on the first floor. There will be a save in this room, as well as a puzzle that cannot be solved until you get the last coin. Now make your way to room 109. I think there should be bullets in this room, inside will be another door which will activate another cut scene ( Angela= psycho!). You will now be able to acquire the knife Angela left, which James CANNOT use. Make sure to examine the small table again to find the prisoner coin. Also, there is a picture in the center of the room, make sure to check it out (for story purposes). Make your way back to room 105 and now you must solve the puzzle. One of the harder ones so far. Three bright coins in five holes be, At one end sits the seducer of she, The wind from behind the woman doth play The Formless One, Null, lies furthest from they The Old One beside the Serpent Sits not. Tis to the prisoner's left, that he does rot. Here is the order (O= empty): Easy riddle mode: old man coin, O, snake coin, O, prisoner coin Normal Riddle Mode: O, Old Man, Prisoner, O, Snake Hard Mode: O, Old Man, O, snake, prisoner After that, re-examine the shelf to get the Lyne key. Now go back to the room with a note on the 2nd floor, you are now able to open it with the key you found. Now go through the room, and you will notice that there is a passageway to a ledge. Go through that ledge and into the other room. Search around the bed to find the Apartment Stairway Key. There is also a red save in this area, save your game and back track to the hallway of the second floor. Now make your way to the stairway entrance by room 208 and use the key. MAKE SURE TO EQUIP YOUR GUN AND ENTER THE STAIRWELL. MORE MONSTER PORN. BOSS FIGHT The trick to this fight is to lure the monster to the corners of the room. He is very slow, so you have a better chance of dodgeing his attacks. When he is motioning to swing, go to the other side of the room and fire, often it's best to lure him into the conrer and move when he is going to do the motion. Never get caught in his motion, as one or two swings are the only things he needs to finish you off. THIS IS WHERE HOARDING BULLETS AND HEALTH DRINKS PAYS OFF. I only used one first aid package but had 5 or 6 health drinks left. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Easier suggestion: (Kingoffighters23@aol.com wrote:) Hey I noticed in your FAQ/walkthrough that you say to attack the first boss(P. head). You do not need to hit him even once. He will leave on his own when the music changes. Just avoid him. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Once you beat him, he will go down into the water. If you'd like to save, back track. otherwise continue down stairs until you reach a door. Enter it, and you should be outside. Now go outside an you should find a first aid kit near a set of orange cones. Now continue to walk down the road until a cut scene is triggered between James and evil laura. --------------------------- Rosewater Park --------------------------- Now head to Rosewater Park. After the scene, walk and turn left into the first stairway. Go into the corner of this area and you should find 2 sets of ammo. Now head to the Gazebo and there should be some ammo on a stone bench outside of the gazebo. Now go left of the Gazebo into the other passage way. there should be an entrance he, go to the other side and read the engraving on the statue. there should also be another health drink on a bench nearby. Now backtrack to the path with a Gazebo and continue forward. There should be another item near the telescope, now continue down this path. Cut scene with Maria. Your mission is to go to the Lake view hotel. Maria now accompanies you as well. BE CAREFUL. If she gets harmed, you get harmed. Also, if she is too close, you might strike her as well. Be sure to just avoid any unnecessary fight when you are with Maria. I have also heard that the way you act or deal in the presence of Maria affects the the end of the game. --------------------------- Jack's Inn + Texxon --------------------------- Now pass the parking lot and head south towards Jack's Inn. While at Jack's inn you will find another save point on a car, make sure to save your game if you already haven't. Now make your way to the Texxon station and you will find the steel pipe on the hood of a car in the area. Make sure to get this, as it's packs a lot more power than that puny plank. make sure to search the area of the gas station for hand gun bullets and not one, not two, but three health drinks. (remember, try to conserve as much as you can during the game!) You can now head towards Nathan Avenue and waste time, or go for the money shot and head to Pete's Bowl-A-Rama, because the area north of Nathan avenue is still blocked off. --------------------------- Bowling Alley + Night Club --------------------------- Now make your way to Pete's Bowl-A-Rama nearby. Before you enter, search the front of the alley for another health drink. If you conserved properly, then you would have at least ten to twelve health drinks and at least one or two first aid packets. Maria will then stay outside while you investigate the bowling alley. Now enter the door on the left from where you entered. Laura will be mentally abusing Eddie while he eats a pizza. Follow Laura out the door. Cut scene. Now make your way to Heaven's night. Maria has a lot of keys :-) Now make your way up the stairs and continue until you reach the last door and enter it. --------------------------- Brookhaven Hospital --------------------------- There will be a first aid kit in the middle of the room. Now make your way down Carroll St. and then a cut scene will occur in which you see Laura go into Brookhaven Hospital. When you enter, search the wall near the door for the map. Now make your way to the reception office and save your game, most if not all the doors on this floor are locked (as usual). While in the health office, you will be given the names of three patients of the hospital, Jack Davis Joseph Barkin Joshua Lewis But that isn't very important (cept story wise I guess). There is also another health drink on the desk in the room. Last but not least, go to the type writer and read the eerie journal. then get the purple bull key. Now head to the men's locker room on 2f. Search the lab coat for the examination room key. Now make your way to the woman's locker room for a BIG surprise. First examine the teddy bear to find the bent needle, then search around the lockers to find the SHOTGUN!. Although you may have it, remember, conserve! Now head to the examination room (3) on the 2nd floor. Get the first aid kit as well as the (IMPORTANT) four digit code by examining the typewriter. Now head towards M2 and examine the night stand. It should contain the Lapis Eye Key, as well as shotgun shells. NOW COMBINE THE LAPIS AND THE PURPLE BULL KEY and store it for later. Now go to room M3 WARNING, there's a nurse in here, this is one of those instance where you must kill, since the nurse are tough enough. Now grab the health drink and set of bullets. Make your way to m6 and get the shotgun shells and health drink. When I last counted, I had almost 15 health drinks, how much do you have left :-) Now head back to the first floor, avoiding any unnecessary conflict. Now head into the examination room . Now make your way to the doctor's lounge and get the shotgun shell that are in the sink. there should also be some more journals on the shelf in the examination room. Now examine the bulletin board to find the code you will need later: (Normal + East) 7335 (Hard) T= 1328 Now make your way to 3F. NURSES! this is one of those times where you must fight once again, since you will need to input the code without distraction. There should also be a first aid kit near the elevator opening, make sure to pick that up. Now use the four number code to unlock the double doors with the code. Now head to S3. Maria will then decide to sleep (why? don't know, but it's better now since you don't have to take care of her) Before you leave, examine the table to find the roof key. Now go to the shower room. Now head to the center of the room to the drain. Try using the bent needle, but it's still not long enough. head to S11, and avoid any possible fighting, as always. This is a save room, grab the health drink and head towards S14 and there will be a puzzle. This is the "Louise" puzzle. Remember this place for later. Now head up the stairs to the roof. Use the key to enter the area. Now search the corners to find a diary. (read it, it will affect your ending) (don't read it and it will affect your ending) Choose this if you want happy thoughts, just stand near it for a brief moment and then proceed with the game). Now, try opening the door in the area and you will be greeted by "pyramid head". James will then be really $%^&ed up. Much of his health has depleted. NOW IT'S TIME TO USE THOSE HEALTH ITEMS :-P. James will now be in the special treatment room on the third floor. Now go into the room where the skidmarks end. On the wall in this padded cell is another code you will have to remember. In the normal game, I believe the code is 5752, but it may be different for your game. Now backtrack and unlock the door which leads back into the corridor and head back to S14 to finally solve that puzzle. This puzzle can be difficult, It took me a while to finally figure out how the hell to solve this puzzle. Take the combo key (Lapis/P. Bull Key) and use it on the padlock type thing to remove the chains. Now Use the code you found in the examination room on the remote-control looking lock. Finally, sue the code you found in the padded room on the turn number lock. A Piece of hair will be discovered, all that for a piece of hair? Now go back to the shower area and examine the drain again. Now combine the needle and the piece of hair, and you will get the elevator key. Now head to 3f and use the key on the elevator. Now examine the elevator to enter it and then examine the panel inside the elevator. Now head to 1F. Now head to C3 on the first floor and get the shells and the bullets. BEFORE YOU DO, EQUIP YOUR SHOTGUN. You will then encounter the evil Laura, who is much more of a threat than the monsters themselves. She will lead James into the examining room.... She screwed you over. Meet the Hangers. --------------------------- BOSS FIGHT --------------------------- Two monsters to deal with. The come in pimped out from the ceiling, with suction cupped hands. Run across the room from the hangers, and don't go under them, THEY WILL STRANGLE YOU. As long as your using the shotgun on the first two, then things should go easy enough. On the last one, use the handgun. It should be an easier battle, but the bosses so far have been nothing of a challenge. Now your back on track, you will now be in the garden area of the hospital. Now head through the double doors. There should be a save on a wall near by. Now head to C2, there is a nurse in hear. Kill or be Killed. (I think my kill count is 5 or 6, excluding bosses) Now get the first aid packet in here. James will also hear a noise. Now head into C1. WATCH OUT, a nurse is so close she could be breathing on James, cept she's dead, and dead things don't breath. Kill it. Now search the room for bullets and a drink. Now take the elevator up to 2f. Then go to room M4. MORE NURSES. Try dodging the nurses by using the strafe, which I only learned later in the game. you will find shells and a drink. Now head to M6.Examine the %^&*ed art and get the dry cell battery and Basement Storeroom Key. Read the memo, grabs the bullets and aid kit and head to the Day room. James will notice the fridge. Now use the elevator to head up to the 3rd floor. Now there will be a lot of monster here. Now try going near the stairs and examining the statue of the woman. Now head back to the room where you left Maria (S3). She will be gone. Now search the room for bullets and Ampoule (save this for extreme cases of desperation). Now read the note, it has something to do with the statue of the female in the hall. Now exit and head for the store room. There will be a few nurses in the area, so watch out. In the store room, will be shells, bullets and a kit. Now go down the stairs in the area near the store room, there is a save point here. Now head down and all the doors except the bottom door are closed. Use the key to open the last door. Now go down the room to the shelf, push the shelf and it will expose a hole. James will try and crawl into the shelf, and Maria will be angry at James. She will go on and on an on, so just don't pay attention :-) The length of this conversation will also determine the ending you get. Now Maria will once again follow you. Head down the ladder. You should now be in the basement. Now search for the blood on the floor, examine it and you should find the copper ring. Now get out of the hole. Now head to 3f. Make your way to the elevator in the hall. Before you go to the elevator, notice the hand, you will need to remember this location later Now head down to 2F. Before you exit the elevator, you will get a freaky radio message from the game show "trick or treat"- I'm sure you've heard of it, as it is the 1# Silent Hill radio show for the last 90 yrs :-P Now listen carefully to the three questions. These questions will be important later, brush up on Silent Hill History by reading memos and other things you've collected. Now head to the day room on the 2f. Now try to examine the fridge again. Maria will now help you. In the fridge is a lead ring. Now use the elevator and go up to 3f. Make your way to the store room and there will be a jeweled box there. OPTIONAL PUZZLE Trick or treat box. Warning. You get a question wrong, you lose a lot of life. Prize: 2 Ampoules , Shotgun Shells Okay, First Question: Select the 3rd button. Second Question: Select the 1st button. Third Question: Select the 3rd button. Now head back to the place with the statue of the woman. Now put the copper and the lead ring in the hand of the statue. The door should be unlocked. Go down the stairway and head down the path until you reach the first pathway, there should be a memo on the ground, read this. You will now have to search for a set of keys, now continue down the stairway. As you reach the end, something happens, Pyramid Head returns. Quickly run the hell away from him, making your way to the elevator, before you get speared. After the whole thing, James will now be on 1f. Once again, Maria and James have been separated, making it easier to survive in this game. Now head to the directors room. There's a map in here, and the hospital lobby key. If you check your map, there will be new areas open up that you weren't able to investigate earlier. Leave the hospital, BUT make sure to save before leaving the area. ---------------------------- South Vale....after hours. ---------------------------- Now head to Saul street and search for the gates, in the big rig vicinity. Enter the gates and James will locate a tunnel. While in the tunnel, James will be greeted by under hangers, just walk around them as they are no big deal. Now make your way until you reach the exit. You are in East South Vale once again. Now head Lindsey Street and make your way to the house next to the Mexican Restaurant. Read the letter and make sure to get the wrench. Go back to Neely's bar and read the message to James. You shouldn't stay that long in the town anyways, but here is a list of ammo and health drinks you might need, I MAY BE MISSING A FEW, since I didn't stay too much in the area before I moved along: SG bullets- Rosewater Park, near parking lot. Middle of Caroll St. Near corner of Caroll and Rendell Near corner of Rendell and Monson Near Save on Saul Corner of Lindsey and Sanders Near Entrance of Flower Shop HG bullets- Near dead end on Rendell Corner of Monson and Saul Across from first building on Rendell Grand Market Near corner of Lindsey and Vachss Flower Shop Building on Saul Street Neely's Bar Café Texan R Bullets- Front/Behind Happy Burger Big Jay's Across the first building on Rendell Street The dead end on Nathan Avenue (a long detour!!!)

Make your way down Katz, pass the apts, and make your way to the door that reads "leading into nightmares". Enter it. Now go to the second statue in Rosewater Park, It is the woman. There should be a mound of dirt near it. James will dig, and find a small box Use the wrench and James will find the old bronze key. Now make your way to the historical society museum. Use the key you found in the park to enter the museum. ---------------------------- Museum ---------------------------- There will be a save point the moment you enter. If you search around the photos and paintings, you'll see a kick ass painting of pyramid head (I want to screen capture it) Examine the rest of the photos for story purposes. Now there should be a hole in the wall. enter it. keep going down until you reach the end. Enter the door. In this room, there's a note, as well as a kit. Read the note. Now exit the room, run and make a left, then make a right, now go into the first room on the right. get the bullets, Look at the paintings, and exit. Now continue up and into the room that James has not inspected. Jump into the well, and inspect the weak looking area on the well, a mis colored patch. use the pipe and smash through it. There should be a door now. Enter it. ---------------------------- Sewer ---------------------------- Now once inside the sewer, make a right, then make a left. Go down this path, and you should see a door on the right. Enter it. Now head to the room to James' right. There should be a key in here. ROACH PUZZLE This is my most requested puzzle, if people would stop asking about it, then I would finally have time to finish this damn faq a couple days ago, but nooooooooo, they ask and ask and ask. Now find the key in the corner of the room. As James picks it up, the flashlight goes out. Use the dry cell battery in the inventory, and the light works. Guess what happens. I will leave it up to you..... just kidding. Now find the panel on the wall. Examine it, and two numbers should be lighted. THE CODE IS RANDOM, use the two buttons and try to make a three button code, for instance 1 and 3 are lighted. try 133, 331, 313, 113, etc, until the door is unlocked. Exit the room, and try the key on the door down the hall. ---------------------------- Toluca Prison ---------------------------- Your in the food hole, aka the cafeteria. You will find Eddie. When he leaves, search for the drinks, the "tablet of the gluttonous pig" and make sure to save. Now exit the room. Make a left, and go up this path. Pass the table, and make your way to the second table. Get the map. Now head to the door between the are of the 2nd table, and the first table. You should be in the bathroom/shower area. Head to the shower area and get the "tablet of the seductress". Now exit the room. Make your way down to the area of the food hole. make your way to the door right before you reach the food hole. You should be in the cell area. There are monsters in the stalls, how they got there, who knows. Now make you way down the hall, avoiding the monsters, the 5th stall should be open. go down there and get the bullets, now make your way back to the path, and find the 8th stall, find the WAX DOLL and then exit the room. Now make your way north. A lot of hassle, so use your hgun. Now make your way up, until you find double doors, enter the ones on the west. Now head up to the other set of jail cells in the prison. Now make your way to the 7th cell and enter it. The Tablet of the Oppressor is in here. When James tries to escape, the door gets rusty. DON'T panic, just keep trying, after a while, the door should open. Now open your map, and located the huge mass on the right of the map. Make your way to the door that leads to this area. Now in the center of the yard is a large scaffolding. In your inventory, combine the tablets, and then use them on the scaffolding. Now return to the entrance and you should find a horseshoe. Get this, and now make your way to the top corner of the map. Before the dead end are two doors. take the first door. There is a first aid kit. NOTICE the shiny thing on the other side of the visitor room. Exit this room. and make your way to the room before the top. Monsters await James, mess them up. Now make your way to the room with the lighter. Get the lighter. Now exit to the door on the left of the visitors room Go down the path Now make your way to the women's restroom.

Behind the office, is a HUNTING RIFFLE!!! BUT USE IT FOR LATER. There is also a lot of ammo in this room, which you will need for later. Now exit, and head south to the gates. Enter the gates. Notice the box shape on the floor. This is an entrance to something. But how to enter it? hmmm. James will become a MacGuyver for a moment and use everyday objects to solve a complex and almost life threatening problem. Combine the doll, the horseshoe and the lighter in the menu, now use this on the entrance and open it up. Walk down the hall until you reach the double doors. Now make your way until you reach the hole. jump. Now make your way to the door, and guess what? another damn hole. Jump. There should be an elevator in the area, there should be some items in the elevator, some r and sg shells, hgun bullets, a kit. After the long elevator ride, save your game. ---------------------------- Labyrinth ---------------------------- You are now what is known to many as the Labyrinth, a maze of sorts, which isn't really a maze at all. --------------------------------------------------------- This map lays out the basic foundation of the labyrinth. http://www.survivalhorror.com/data/silenthill2/labmap.jpg --------------------------------------------------------- Okay, here goes, you will notice at the start of this area there will be an area blocked by wires, on the other side, there will be a ladder. There wont be way to get in there yet, but remember this place in the future, as you will need to back track all the way here in the end. Head your way east of where you started until you get to a fork in the road, turn left on the top fork, and continue until you come to another fork with one ladder on each side of the fork. Now take any ladder you choose. You should now be in a bigger room (on my map, its sorta circular with straight edges) In this room, there are a lot of under hangers, so run, even if you get hit, it's better than walking. Now try to find the door that leads to the center of the room, enter that room. You are now in the pyramid head's main lair! If you search this room, you will not only get shotgun shells, but the great knife as well! This thing is awesome, much better than the stick or steel pipe any day. Use it later. Watch out fo enemies that are everywhere, P. Heads, under hangers. etc. Now exit the room. backtrack. Go back to the first fork in the road, and take the route you didn't take before (the bottom fork) Then continue on this path until you reach the watery tunnel. Then make your way to the ladder in this tunnel. When you enter the next room, you will be faced with a block, a block of godly faces. Anyways, you need to manipulate the boxes in order to get to the next room on your quest. --------------------- FACE Cube Puzzle --------------------- Okay, here's the deal, you can manipulate the cube by using the direction pad or the analog stick. Directions: Cube UP: Press Up Cube Down: Press Down Cube Left: Left Cube Right: Right Okay, now notice that the starting cube has blue eyes. Now continue to move the cube up or down (doesn't matter), until you see the right side up cube with the red eyes. From this position, turn the cube left or right until the upside the down face is showing, I got the upside down face with the green eyes, if details are important to you. Hard Riddles: Your pretty much on your own, the movement of this thing is random, just use James' sight feature (r1) and the sticks to look for the doors. Then move the cube until you can align the doors right. I'm sorry if I can't help you anymore on this puzzle, but if your such a game master, then you wouldn't be using a walkthrough :-) Okay, after this puzzle, enter the door into the next room. Guess who's in there.....MARIA! what!?! okay, if you played this part when you first got the game, you would be as shocked as I was :-) to find Maria in that damn jail cell. But now she messes with you, talking like a complete psycho! Now she asks you to rescue her. Go back to the cube room, and notice the shiny thing in the open breaker box. It is the wire cutters. Now Backtrack back to the entrance of this maze. Now, cut the wires on that door you couldn't reach. Now descend down the ladder. Now turn the corner and enter the first ladder area you see, it should be on the right, after you turned that corner. Then now, Go down this path and make a right. Then go down and take this ladder. In the next room, circle around until you reach another ladder type entrance thing. Take that ladder. Now from here go down the path, then make a left, then go straight, make another left and you should find another ladder, take it. Now go up this path, and make another left. Then make a left into the first intersection you see. Go down this path and enter into the next section. There should be handgun bullets here. Take those. -------------------------------------------- Now if your strapped for bullets, and are crazy (AND LIKE TO DEAL WITH P. HEAD), then you can continue to go down(or up) the path, passing the first intersection. There are two tunnels you can take, try to avoid the one with P. Head. Now make your way to the square room snatch the h. gun bullets, and make your way back to the area with the h.gun bullets you found near the door. -------------------------------------------- If you take the first intersection you see, then you decided to avoid unnecessary fighting. Enter the room, and you should find a save. SAVE. Okay, continue along the path , and you will here Angela scream! Find where the sound is and enter that door. It should be the only room in the area anyways. DOORMAN BOSS Strategies: Use the shotgun, since rifle ammo is sparse. If your one on one with a doorman, then use the steel pipe, but only if you have an exceptionally large amount of room. Strategies: (nullfire@netzero.net) This battle can be tough, as this is a very small room and the enemy is quite wide. When he gets close he'll bite on your head. As with previous bosses, you'll want to keep on the opposite side of the room when you're attacking. If you've got hunting rifle ammo, use it. About 10-12 shots will kill him. If you can get a little distance from the enemy, fire off two shots and wait a second. Two hits will knock him down. Allow him to get up then fire two more shots into him. Move to the other side of the room, reload and repeat the process. After fighting this thing, Angela will get psycho on it and take it down. Cool!Now follow Angela, James will find another room with hanged men in it, in another room will be the nooses to those men. ---------------------------- Puzzle: The Innocent Man ---------------------------- Read the notes on all the faces to determine the innocent man. In easy mode: The Kidnapper is innocent. In Normal mode: The Arsonist is the innocent. In Hard mode: The counterfeiter is innocent. After you find the innocent, go back to the noose room and determine which rope belongs to the innocent man, and release the body. Now go back to the room, and find the place where the innocent man hanged. Pick up the key of the persecuted. Now go back to the corridor, and use the key on the cuff that's block the entrance. After that, find the cell gate, search for the valve, and use that to open the gate. Pass the locked gate and enter the door ahead of you. When you finally get to Maria, guess what.... yeah, again. Okay after this, backtrack to the hall and now go to the last room you yet to discover. Before you go in their, make sure to get the first aid in the corner. Okay this room has graves in it, NOTICE THE NAMES ON THE GRAVES!?! Now in the room there's a save point, SAVE. Pick up the shells, as well as an ampoule. Now jump into the hole to the far left. When everythings been done, try and equipt a good weapon. your going to need it. CRAZY EDDIE BOSS FIGHT Hey Eddie, what are you doing with that gun? Okay, you knew it was going to come down to this, Eddie never liked you. You never liked Eddie. Up till now, you have been suppressing your anger to sock him in the face with a pipe. Now's your chance. After some words of death, it's time to get it on and destroy or be destroyed. For veterans of Silent Hill, this is the Cybil fight.(tdeah). I, Lethal thinks its similar to many of the fights in Metal Gear Solid, cuz you use a lot fo the environment to your advantage. Strategies: for the first time around, keep blasting. Keep your bullets in check and just keep blasting. When the dual shock controller begins vibrating really violently, that means hit the R3 button, which is the right analog stick, and you'll automatically recover using a health item. For the second form, hide behind the meats, popping out to shoot the hell out of the man, and then hiding back again. If your good, you can pop out and go up right behind him and use the chainsaw or Shotgun and then hide again and he will never get a shot in. Another good tactic if your not good at dodging shots is to go right up to Eddie, as he will instead try and beat the crap out of James, which is a lot easier to deal with. If your able to keep a somewhat cool head during this battle, you'll survive, but Eddie won't. Strategies: (nullfire@netzero.net) There's no real tactic to this fighting this battle. If you run, Fatty will shoot you. Just raise your best weapon (hopefully you've got some hunting rifle shells) and keep firing. Heal if you need to (you shouldn't have to more than once). After Fatty runs away, follow him to the next room. Boss Battle: Again, you don't need to follow any strategy. Keep firing at him until he's dead. It should only take about 10 shots from the hunting rifle. You may need to heal once, as he'll get a few shots in during reloading. Strategies (iceheart0@earthlink.net) Anyway I think I found a good way to deal with Eddie, when I fought him I used a ampoule and then Great Knifed his ass!! And he went running scared, in the meat locker I hid behind some meat and waited for Eddie to come and used a ampoule then Great Knifed him again and he went down on his lard ass. Could you try this out and see how well it works for you. ---------------------------- Toluca Lake ---------------------------- After the Eddie battle, you finally make your way outside, now its just you and the open fog once again. There should be a save point on a barrel. After you save, go along the dock until you find a row boat, you will notice a light of in the distance, this will be your target during this part of the game. Simple Ass Directions for easy and normal Up- Press Up Down- Press down Left- Press Left Right- Press right Just continue to move left or right to scan the lake until you see bright light. Afterwards, use the d-pad to move up. You really don't need my help for this part anyways. Come on, it's rowing a boat. Hard Ass Directions for Hard To move: From the center, you have to move both sticks opposite of each other. Left going left, right going right. From there, the left stick must go counter clock wise, while the right stick goes clock wise- at the same time. Continue this rhythm of movement until you reach the light. Left or right: You should have to do this if you positioned yourself at the beginning, but you have to stop the movement of one row, or slow it down, and speed up the movement of the other row. Man, this is such a pain, being that you have to stoke each stroke by hand. You will need to use both your left and right analog sticks to move the boat, THEY MUST BE IN UNISON in order to get anywhere, people who have played any N64 game or Mario Party with more than one person, your training with the stick will come in use. After you dock, and you will see the Lake View Hotel. ---------------------------- Lake View Hotel ---------------------------- Go up to the courtyard before the main entrance and you should find the Little Mermaid Music Box near the fountain. Now go inside through the double doors. When you enter, you should find the Map of the hotel on James' left. If you look at the map, James and Mary's "love nest" a.k.a., their "room", should be marked "waiting for you". Now make your way to the lake shore restaurant and find the piano and investigate it. Laura will appear and a very informative cut scene will take place. You will then receive Laura's Letter, written by Mary. Now find the table with the plate on it and examine it to get the fish key. Exit the restaurant. If you want more ammo, which is scarce in the hotel, make your way west of the restaurant. Head down the hall, then make your way into the store room, which is two doors up from Café Toluca. It should be in the room to bottom of the map, in the store room. There should be riffle shells and gun bullets in here. Now go back to the middle of the corridor, and take the steps down to the basement floor. Head to the Venus Tears bar area and examine the elevator in the basement to find the thinner. Now head back to the first floor and go to the lobby. There should be a save in that area. Now head to the reception area, which should be on the right side of the lobby. Read the note on the desk, and take the Room 312 Key from one of the mail slots near the desk. Head up stairs in the lobby to the second floor and enter the cloak room. There should be first aid, shells, and some gun bullets in this room. There should also be an important briefcase in the back of this room. Get it, and use the fish key to open it up. There should be the key to room 204 in here. Now go to room 204, if your playing a normal game, I think there will be one or two doormen. Time to kill. Now head into room 204 using the key, and search the desk, for YET ANOTHER KEY :-( this time, it's the elevator key. Before you leave the room, examine the hole in the wall and you should now be in room 202. Search the area for a suitcase , this is important soon. Now search the bed for photos, if you look, you will find a black and white marked up photo. Use the thinner on the photo, and it should dissolve the marker. Write down the code that you found on the suitcase, as it is random. Now go back to that suitcase in the room and sue the code to open it up. The Cinderella Music Box is inside. Now if you need to save, there is a save room across from the store room on the second floor. Save your game, and grab the health drink. Now make your way to the elevator on the floor. Before you enter, notice the shelf outside. once you get on, the alarm sounds. There should be a note by the panel. It says your to heavy..fatty. Remember the shelf? Oh man, don't PANIC!!!! but you have to put everyone of your items into the shelf. Damn, you shoulda went on a diet before going to Silent Hill. Anyways, head down the elevator and find the another map for the hotel on the bulletin board...this time for the workers. It should mark more of the places on the map. Now go to the pantry and grab the Snow White Music Box which is on the shelf inside. If you can't find it, just continue to examine the shelf until you get it. Now head to the office and find the safe, and grab the very IMPORTANT STORY ELEMENT...the video tape, and of course the can opener. Now, if you try and use the elevator, it will not work. Therefore, you have to use the set of stairs in that area. Head down into the basement. Okay, if you have been reading this faq for some time now, you should know, I am a supporter of running like a little girl when it comes to fighting with sucky weapons. Well, now is one of those times, where you gotta run, but you have now weapons at all. There are mannequin demons in this area, so the best thing to do is zip by them. Now quicky head to the boiler room in the basement area and get the boiler room key near the boiler. There should also be a first aid kit in this area. Now make your way to the kitchen. There should be a few health drinks in the kitchen, you will need it fi you suck at running away. On the kitchen counter the is a big economy sized can. Use the can opener to open it...duh. There is a light bulb inside?!? just don't ask, and now make your way to the Venus tears bar. James, being the blind, ugly, man he is, cannot see the key opening for the front door inside the bar. Use the lightbulb, on the nearby lamp to make James see better. Now unlock the door. Head outside, and make your way to the stairs and go up to the second floor. Now head back to the shelf with all your crap. Nice to see you once again my friends. Now go back to the hotel lobby and go to the big music box type thingy in the first floor. PUZZLE- Music Boxes MUSIC BOXES Cinderella fled at midnight, Snow White woke from death, Little Mermaid was mute for a time. Normal/Easy Left to right: Cinderella, Snow White, Little Mermaid. Hard: Little Mermaid on the front, Snow White in the east, Cinderella on the west. After you complete the puzzle, you will get the Hotel Stairway Key. Now go up the stairs to the second floor. then make your way to the area by the cloak room and head up the stairs to the 3F gate. Now, use the key and unlock the gate. Now once on level 3, head to room 312. Now, notice the VCR and TV setup, it's time, it's time to find out what's on that tape. After this, Laura will enter the room, and the radio will play another messed up message. From room 312, head east and save your game on the door of room 313. Head down to the reading room on the second floor. There is a pair of head phones on the desk!!!! Okay, whatever you decide to do, it will affect your ending, if you wanna take a chance and listen then go ahead, if you decline then go a head. If you wanna get a certain ending, my website, has an ending guide to help get the ending you want here: http://www.survivalhorror.com/data/silenthill2/. From here, the place gets all trans-dimensional! If you take a certain room, you will be transported to another area on the floor. Here's a g uide to those port 207 = 204 202 = 219 219 = 220 220 = 207 212 = 202 Okay, near the guest elevator should be a table with two ampoules. Grab those, as you will need them soon. Now take the elevator to the basement. When you reach the basement, Titanic breaks lose and your ass deep in water. There is also a dangerous amphibious patient demon here so make sure to run to the venus tears bar. There should be FIVE health drinks in this bar now, grab those on the shelf behind the bar. Now head to the kitchen and grab the shotgun shells on the bench and the first-aid kit near the fridge. Now head to the employee stairs. Cut scene. Angela. After the cut scene, leave Angela and go back through the door you used to enter. MORE TRANS-DIMENSIONAL STUFF. James is now in the employee stairs area. Head to the first floor, and everything has been burned. Head to the restrooms and grab the ampoules. There should be some rifle shells in this area, I think near the office. Now if you check your map, locate the east exit door and make your way their. Once you enter the exit go down the corridor until you reach not one, but a grid of nine red save objects! SAVE YOUR GAME! Before you enter the door near the saves, check James' status and ammo count, since there will be very little time to think once you get through the next TWO consecutive battles. I used the riffle, it is very popular. Good luck, at this point I had like 25 drinks, 12 f aids, about 7 ampoules and a lot of ammo. It should be a breeze if you conserved. If not, then GOOD LUCK. --------------------------------------- PYRAMID HEAD (2nd Encounter 2X love) --------------------------------------- there are now two Pyramid Heads to contend with, each wielding long and angry spears. The strategy is basically the same as last time, except now they have become wise to the tactics James implies. You'll want to alternate the directions of your strafing now, as they will eventually learn your pattern, then block you and ultimately kabob you. Of course, use the shotgun and rifle. and never ever reload using the default reload, always reload via the menu screen. Strategies: (nullfire@netzero.net) This should be a very easy battle. This is a large room, so just keep your distance. Run to a corner and blast a few rounds into the enemy. Run to the opposite corner when they get close. You shouldn't take any damage if you're careful. After a fair amount of damage they will stop coming after you. After you beat the two pyramid heads, they impale themselves with their spears, head back to the room with the save and make sure to save. now go back into the P. Head battle grounds and examine the impaled p. heads for two eggs, the rust colored and the red egg. Now place these two eggs on the doors you could not open after the fight, south (on the map). Now leave through the lobby door and make your way outside. Where there was docks, now there is a long hall of "bad memories". head down the corridor, a message will start up, WHAT YOU DO FROM HEAR, DECIDES YOUR ENDING. If you decide to listen to the whole thing, then it will affect your ending. IF you decide not to listen to the whole thing, it will also affect your ending. Now go down to the final door at the end. Go down the stair case, now walk towards the figure. One of the four endings will begin to play, afterwards, its time to do some damage. --------------------------------------- FINAL BOSS --------------------------------------- so as not to spoil the game, here is the strategies for the final boss. simple. Strafe when the thing unleashes the cloud of black moths upon you, or run away in a circular motion, much like in the first game with the lightning. And fire off one or two shots from the rifle and repeat. Careful of this boss getting close to you, it'll choke you with the long black tail while screaming in your face...not a lovely way to go. After pumping it full of enough rifle shells, it will drop to the ground screaming, begging for a quick death. Give it the executioner's shot. Strategies: nullfire@netzero.net As with all previous bosses, you'll want to keep your distance, fire a few shots, and then run to a new spot. This boss has an odd attack, however, that will make you move a little differently. She will throw out a swarm of butterflies. Try running underneath her to get her to throw out the butterflies. Keep running as they chase you. Just as they start to dissipate, turn and fire a few shots at the enemy. Keep using this tactic and you should be fine. She also has a close attack where she grabs you with a tentacle. Don't let her get too close to you. After you've shot her a bit she'll fall to the floor. The only thing left to do is to walk up and shoot her one last time. Enjoy the ending. YOU DID IT! ENJOY THE ENDING MY FRIEND! GIVE YOURSELF A PAT ON THE BACK, AND A SMACK ON YOUR ASS. But there's four more endings to get, hahahaha, muhahahah. cough. Sorry. Bye for now. I hope you liked the faq. I should update it now and again with all the other stuff I promised. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- VIII.

LITTLE THINGS ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Is it me, or is does the idea of a red save object remind you of Sixth Sense? This idea even has more proof when you get to the nine saves at the end. The names of the streets are some of the most famous horror writers. We should have a list of those soon. If you look in the In the under ground graveyard the 3 graves are marked james angela and eddie -Jon Curry jdcinga@yahoo.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------- XIII.
