Hint:
Innocent Man riddle: One of the rooms you will enter in the Labyrinth will include six
men that have been hung by the ceiling. Your job is to free the innocent man
in the group. In easy riddle mode, the innocent man will always be,
"The Kidnapper". In normal riddle mode, the innocent man will
always be, "The Arsonist". In hard riddle mode, the innocent man
will always be ,"The Counterfeiter". Once you find out who the
innocent man is, pull the corresponding empty noose in the second room to
release the body. In his place, the Key Of The Persecuted will be on the
floor below.
Hint:
Box combination: When you get almost to the end of the hospital area and go down
in the elevator, you will get a call on the radio. It is game show which
will ask three questions. You must go to the third floor storeroom to get
your prize. The combination to the box is 3 1 3. Note: This is for the easy
and normal difficulty setting.
Hint:
Chain saw: Start a new game and when asked which puzzle and difficulty level
to be played, chose the easiest difficulty and hardest puzzle settings. When
you start the game on those settings, you will find the chain saw stuck in
some logs along the side of your path into the town of Silent Hill. You can
find it by looking or listening for a loud annoying sound in front of you.
Hint:
Hidden skulls in picture: Go to room 307 in "Wood Side Apartments". On the third
floor is a picture on the wall. Press Action and the message
"There's a painting hanging on the wall. It looks like a landscape of
this area." will appear. Look at the picture to see two skulls on the
side of the mountains.
Hint:
Picture on floor: After the Angela scene in the Blue Creek Apartment Building, and
after you get the knife, there is a picture on the floor in the middle of
the room.
Hint:
Defeating Eddie: In the first battle, equip your rifle and as soon as you get the
chance, shoot him four times. He will run away. Follow him into the next
room. Get far away from him and just keep shooting until he dies. If he gets
in close, run away and shoot him. If done correctly, he should be locked in
between shots and you will not get hit.
Use the following trick to kill
Eddie with one or two hits. This works for both rounds with Eddie. Get next
to him, take out the Great Knife and slice away. If you hit him, he should
die in one hit. If not, attack him again. After he gets hit, blood flies
everywhere.
Hint:
Defeating the Doorman/Angela's Papa Boss: Obtain the Great Knife (very big sword), in the labyrinth (from
the room protected by the pyramid head enemy). Start the Boss battle by
immediately pausing game play. Go to the menu and equip the Great Knife.
Hold down Ready Attack before the menu screen disappears, and press Attack
as hard as possible. If done correctly, you will do your fierce sword
attack, and since it requires about two and a half seconds to complete by
the time you swing you will have hit the Doorman. Now that it is stunned,
just tap Attack to do the lesser swing and kill the Boss. If it does
not, just swing the necessary amount of times, and it will die quite easily.
Hint:
Defeating Pyramid Heads: Use the following trick to avoid using any ammo or health while
you face the Pyramid Head in the apartment. When you go into the staircase
on the second floor, immediately go to the right (or left if the camera is
facing on James). Dodge around the Pyramid Head until you get to the wall.
Wait until he jumps down the staircase filled with water, then he is gone
until the hospital.
First, get the apartment
stairway key in the Blue Creek apartments. Then, go to the locked door at
the end of the hall on the second floor. Once you are inside, you will find
the Pyramid Head doing something to a monster. He will then throw the
monster down and go for you. Take out your gun and start firing. Your action
level determines on how many bullets you have to shoot. Note: If he gets
close, run. His attack is very powerful because he has the Great Knife. You
will get the Great Knife later. If he hits you, and you do not die, quickly
get a med-kit. Keep running back and forth, shooting until he swims down the
stairs and the siren goes off. Then, run down the stairs. You will not
encounter him again until the hospital. Go out the door to get outside.
Use the following trick for a
quick and easy way to defeat the two Pyramid Head enemies at the end of the
hotel. This will allow you to defeat them without using any health or
ammunition. First, enter the room and start running around it
counterclockwise. Let them get fairly close to you and then quick spin
around backwards and equip the Great Knife. However, you have to make sure
that James is directly next to the wall (with the wall on his left and the
Pyramid Heads attacking from the right). Use the low swinging attack. Since
James swings the knife from right to left, the knife will hit them a second
time as it bounces off the wall. Keep swinging and they should not even be
able to hit you.
Although there are many ways do
defeat the Pyramid Head(s) with different weapons, it is also possible to
just run. In the apartment complex, he is holding the Great Knife. The room
is small, but it is fairly easy to dodge him even in hard mode. The fight
may last more than five minutes with just running, but you will not have to
use any bullets. It is possible that shooting him will make him leave
earlier, but under the hard difficulty setting with very limited ammunition,
it is better just to avoid him. When he is shot, it sounds like James just
hit metal and it looks like Pyramid Head takes no damage. In the labyrinth,
he can be avoided easily. In the last fight with two Pyramid Heads with
spears, the same tactic is usable. They may be a lot faster, but the room is
also much larger. After a long time, the siren will start and they will
impale themselves. The Hyper Spray (with a 10 star ranking) can make Pyramid
Head flee immediately.
Hint:
Killing enemies: When you encounter an enemy, try and get fairly close to it. When
it attacks, quickly side step out of the way. Then, face the enemy and
attack it with the board with a nail in it. Most of the early enemies you
encounter have a slow reaction time after they attack and can easily be
taken down with the board and nail. :Note: This is only recommended for use
with those types of enemies and should not be used when facing later
enemies.
To easily kill a normal
monster, shoot it until it falls down, then run up and press Action.
James will kick or step on the monster and it will die.
Hint:
The "Maria" ending: In this ending, James walks to Rosewater Park, and finds Maria
staring out into the water. They greet each other, and James tells Maria
that he likes her, and wants to be with her.
Hint:
The "Leave" ending: In this ending, James is kneeling down beside Mary's deathbed,
and is explaining why he killed her. Then, the ending shows James and Laura
leaving Silent Hill through the cemetery while Mary's voice is heard,
reading her letter to James.
