Picture on floor
After the Angela scene in the Blue Creek Apartment Building, and after you obtain the knife, there is a picture on the floor in the center of the room.

Beating Eddie
In your first battle, equip your rifle and as soon as you have the chance, now shoot him four times. He will run away. Follow him into the next room. And get far away from him and just keep on shooting until he dies. If he does get in close, run away and shoot him. If done properly, he should be locked in between shots and you will not get once.

Innocent Man riddle
One of the rooms you will go into in the Labyrinth will have six men that have been hung by the ceiling. Your job is to free the innocent man in this group. In easy riddle mode, the innocent man will be, "The Kidnapper". In normal riddle mode, the innocent man will be, "The Arsonist". In hard riddle mode, the innocent man will be ,"The Counterfeiter". Once you find out who the innocent man is, pull the equivalent empty noose in the second room to let the body go. In his place, the Key Of The Persecuted will be on the floor below.

Box combination
When you are almost to the end of the hospital area and go down in the elevator, you will receive a call on the radio. It is a 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 only.

Beating the Doorman/Angela's Papa Boss
Acquire the Great Knife (very large sword), in the labyrinth (from the room protected by the pyramid head enemy). Then start the Boss battle by immediately pausing the game. Then go to the menu and equip the Great Knife. Then hold down
Ready Attack before the menu screen goes away, and press Attack as hard as possible. If done properly, you will preform your fierce sword attack, and since it requires about two and a half seconds to finish 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 needed amount of times, and it will die easily.

The "Maria" ending
With this ending, James walks to Rosewater Park, and locates Maria staring out into the water. They greet each other, and James tells Maria that he likes her, and wants to be with her.

The "Leave" ending
With this ending, James is kneeling down beside Mary's deathbed, and is telling her  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.

Beating double pyramid head enemies
Use this trick for a quick and easier way to beat the two pyramid head enemies at the end of the hotel. This will allow you to beat them without haveing to  any health or ammunition. First, go into 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 exactly next to the wall (with the wall on his left and the pyramid heads attacking from the right). Now use the low swinging attack. Since James swings the knife from right to left, the knife will hit them a second time when it bounces off the wall. Keep swinging and they should not even be able to hit you once.

Killing enemies
When you come across an enemy, try and get close to it. When it attacks, swiftly side step out of the way. Then, face the enemy and attack it with the board that has a nail in it. Most of the early enemies you come across have a slow reaction time after they attack and can easily be taken down with the board and nail.
Note: This is only suggested for use with these types of enemies and should not be used when facing enemies futher in the game.

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 then die.
