a picture on the wall. Press

a painting hanging on the wall. It looks like a landscape of this
area." will appear. Look at the picture closely to see two skulls on the
side of the mountains.
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.
