This faq is by no means finished at the current time.
I would welcome criticism and especially help with it,
of course you will be credited in full for that.
Ok, the most important content is there. Still needs some proofreading
and spellchecking and tons of feedback to be perfect, but it's useable
and even playtested. ^^
Hard mode guides to be completed tomorrow (28/05/03).
Things that are still missing:
- Ending Conditions
- Extra Weapon Conditions
- Uses for various Objects (talisman, perfume...)
- The things I'm working on right now

1. INTRODUCTION
==========================================
Usually a walkthrough is something that gets you past an annoying little part
in a game, so you can play on happily. Just getting a passcode you need might
help you to get on with a game, but I thought it would be a nice thing to have
a guide that would help you in the same way a good buddy of yours would do,
that has already beaten the same game.
In short: This Q/A-guide will not just supply you with the solutions but
instead get you back on the track with suggestions so you can get them
yourself.
(For those still stuck there's the solutions to all riddles and a regular
walkthrough, too, of course.)
ABOUT THE DIRECTIONS GIVEN IN THIS FAQ:
Directions given refer to the position of your character, not yours. For
example: 'Take the door to your left' means to take the door on the left side
of your CHARACTER, not the left side of the screen.
'Take the door to the north' on the other hand refers (naturally) to the
position on the map. All set? Good. ^^
==========================================

up SHOTGUN SHELLS (1x)[1x], BEEF JERKY (1x)[1x] and FIRST AID KIT (1x)[1x]. ^^
__________________________________________
BROOKHAVEN HOSPITAL:
__________________________________________
Enter the Reception Room. Get the HOSPITAL MAP and a HEALTH DRINK (1x)[1x].
Save if you want to. Leave. Enter the Doctor's lounge. Get a HEALTH DRINK
(1x)[1x] and read up on the patients. Go to the Visiting Room, read Coleman's
Diary. Enter room C4. Surprise, Coleman proves to be a real Heather fan. Go to
the elevator and go up to F2.
Pay a visit to the Women's Locker Room. Get NAIL POLISH REMOVER and some
PERFUME, if you like... If you examine the magazine, you might find something
nice, too. Read Coleman's Diary in front of the East Wing door. Solve the
riddle posted next to the door. Go right into Examination Room 3. Read the
tattoo on that poor dead guys arm and foot. Read the medical record. Go to
room M4. Turn off the alarm. Set the dials on the attache case right and open
it. Get the POLAROID CAMERA. Read one more volume of Mr. Coleman's fascinating
Diarys. Enter room M5 and pick up FIRST AID KIT (1x)[1x]. Beware of the
nurses. Take the elevator and return to F1.
Go to room C4 and use the NAIL POLISH REMOVER on the wall. Get the STAIRWELL
KEY. Unlock the door to the staircase.
Go down to the basement. Pick up the SUBMACHINE GUN. Enter the eastern
Storeroom. Use the camera to see what is behind the shelf... if you dare. If
you feel you have far too little ammo for your newfound beauty of an automatic
weapon, head to the roof for two more clips. Since our trip into the basement
(and maybe the roof, too) was definitely fun, why don't we explore the 3rd
floor for a change? Head up to F3.
Enter the Special Treatment Room. No, that room is not used for what you think
it is. Enter the westmost cell and read Coleman's Diary. Now go to the
Storeroom. Collect HEALTH DRINKS (2x)[2x] and STUN GUN BATTERY (1x)[1x]. Save,
if you want to. Now punch the code you photographed behind the shelf in the
basement into the keypad. Go to room S1, get the HEALTH DRINKS (2x)[1x] and
read the mag on the bed. Also pick up BEEF JERKY (1x) from one of the banks in
the hallway. Enter room S7 and rejoice, it seems Coleman has written his last
Diary. Enter room S12. Get the phone. Watch the cutscene. Head to the end of
the hall on the 2nd floor.

ALTERNATE BROOKHAVEN HOSPITAL:
__________________________________________
This is some sort of labyrinth for beginners. Some of the fences blocking your
path will stay the way they are, others will come out of the ceiling and the
third kind will go back into it.
Just run straight from now on. Take a glance at that large red mark on the
wall. Climb up the ladder. Pretend you didn't see all that and stay cool.
Welcome to hell. Enter room S3. Gather up HAND GUN BULLETS (2x)[1x] and save
if you feel like doing it. Go through the Day Room. Enter the Storeroom. Take
the elevator down to B3. Solve the puzzle and open the crematorium door. Get
the CREMATED KEY. Take the elevator up to F2.
Go to the Men's Locker Room to receive another phone call. Go to the Women's
Locker Room and get HEALTH DRINK (1x)[1x] and PLASTIC BAG. As much as you may
detest it, you must go back to F3 one more time. Get to Examining Room 4 and
fill that PLASTIC BAG with blood. Take the elevator down to F1.
Go to the Examination Room. Get an AMPOULE (1x)[1x], Save if you need to. Take
a trip to the Day Room through the northern door and read the book. Use the
CREMATED KEY on the Day Room's eastern entrance. Read the writing on the wall
and enter Room C1. Pick up HEALTH DRINKS (2x)[2x] and your birthday card.
Enter room. Read the book and look at the altar. Better save here. Use the
PLASTIC BAG filled with BLOOD on the altar. Descend the ladder. Watch a
cutscene.
BOSS: LEONARD.
Get a nifty TALISMAN Leonard was holding onto. Watch another cutscene.
__________________________________________
SILENT HILL:
__________________________________________
Head back to Motel Room 106. Watch some more cutscenes. Follow Nathan Avenue
in north-eastern direction. If you are disappointed that SH3 doesn't offer you
more possibilities to actually explore Silent Hill, I know what you're
feeling.
__________________________________________
AMUSEMENT PARK:
__________________________________________
Having a deja vu? This is indeed the Amusement Park from earlier. Not much
has changed aside from the fact that it is now crawling with monsters worse
than ever. So don't waste time, go directly to the Souvenir Shop. Gather up
the items there. Get a shock and turn around to find that some chocolate boxes
have fallen from the shelves. Get the ROLLER COASTER KEY from one of the boxes
and save, if you feel like it. Don't leave that AMPOULE(1x)[1x], HANDGUN
BULLETS(2x)[2x] and BEEF JERKY(1x)[1x] behind. Proceed as before to the
Mountain coaster, don't bother with the enemies. Unlock the door on the roller
coaster control cabin and turn off the power. Also take those two HEALTH
DRINKS(2x)[1x] at the far end of the room with you Head down the roller
coaster track. Now you know why your mommy always warned you of doing stuff
like that.
Watch the cutscene, then head inside the Haunted Mansion. Enjoy the scenery.
If the ceiling is giving you any trouble, go into caution mode (R2) and walk
forward. The spikes won't spear you anymore. Take the bullet vest off before
you go through the door marked with 'exit'. Run like hell. Run past the first
door, (it's locked) until you arrive at one with a couple of steps in front of
it. Be quick with that doorknob. It's not yet time to take a breather. Run on
some more. The hallways layout is almost the same as the prior one, so no need
to worry. Hooray, you're out again.
And there's a great flock of monsters to welcome you, too. Head straight and
then left towards that green fence. Take that passage. Head straight again and
take the first left there is. Go through that greenish gate. Once again, avoid
all monsters and just run straight and through that gate. Get one HEALTH
DRINK(1x)[0x] and SHOTGUN SHELLS (1x)[1x] to your left, don't forget the red
shoe that lies on top of the stage. Also take the chain with you. Read the
mascot signs on the walls for a good laugh. Head back through the greenish
gate, go straight and then right onto that SWING ROCKET-spaceship-go-round
platform. Connect the chain to the pipe sticking out from the center column,
then go over to the gate and connect it there, too. (In case you're wondering,
it is still in your inventory.) Go inside the control booth, pick up the
HANDGUN BULLETS (1x)[1x] and turn the power on. You should be able to do that
with more than just one door. ^^
Watch the cutscene. Go through the gate and then right into the Fortune house.
Get Douglas' notebook. Pick up the DOLL HEAD. Save if you need to. Head into
the Maerchen Travel building. Look at the statues.
Give Snow White the DOLL HEAD and Cinderella the RED SHOE.
BOSS:
Prepare to fight the lv. 78 PROP DRAGON OF DOOM.
Just kidding. Go through the door on the lefthand side. Start running. Run
straight, then take a left, turn right again and examine the notepad on the
ice cream wagon. Get the STUN GUN BATTERIES(2x)[2x] and turn left again. Run
on till you reach a ticket booth, turn left and go through that gate. Pick up
that precious FIRST AID KIT (1x)[1x] to your left. Go onto the carousel. Read
the note pinned to the horse. Start slashing the horses with your favorite
melee weapon and prepare for a boss fight.
BOSS: THE MEMORY OF ALESSA.
After the fight, get off the carousel and go straight. Read the prayer on the
walls, if you like. Watch the cutscene.
__________________________________________
THE CHURCH:
__________________________________________
Get the EYE OF THE NIGHT TAROT CARD. Save if you need to. Prepare for the most
disturbing level in the entire game. Head right to get the map hanging on the
wall. Enter the confession box. You'll have to make a choice here.
a - Forgive Claudia
b - Say nothing
The choice you make here will slightly influence your endings. Go down the
hallway. The far door is locked, so take the other one to the east, go through
that room. Try to avoid the two Insane Cancers in front of the doors and go
through the northern one first. Head all the way down the hallway. In the
middle, you'll hear crying and footsteps. Look around and follow the footsteps
on the floor, then push that painting aside. Don't go inside yet. That's the
biggest savepoint you'll ever find. Save if you need to, look at the pictures
and go back. Look at the wheelchair, then go through the door that was hidden
behind the painting.
Head down the hallway. Got to the far end of it. You'll find yourself in a
library. Read the books in there if you're interested in some background. Get
THE MOON TAROT CARD from the desk at the end of the room. Watch the cutscene.
Get back out and take the elevator downstairs (right opposite of the door you
came into this room the first time.)
Go right and take that door, then go all the way straight. You'll be in a sort
of human wastedump. Get THE HANGED MAN TAROT CARD. Also get the two packs of
SHOTSHELLS(2x)[2x]. They will come in handy soon. Exit that room and go right.
Enter the door at the end of the hallway. You are now in Harry's room... get
the STUN GUN BATTERIES (2x)[2x] and read the diary on the bed. Back in the
elevator room. Head west and enter the second last door. Go down that hallway
all the way. You're in a Child's Room. Examine the sketchbook on the bed, the
door and the notepad on the table. Then get the BRASS KEY from the wall. Save
if you feel like it. Leave this room again and go back to where you came from.
On your way, enter the last door on the right (the one after you cross that
bridge from which you can see bobble head doing something... strange). Let
those monsters play with themselves and proceed straight through. Listen to
the sounds in the hallway. Follow the footsteps on the floor and open the
hidden door. Proceed to the next room. Examine the bed. Get an AMPOULE
(1x)[2x] HAND GUN AMMO (3x)[2x] and THE FOOL TAROT CARD. Leave this ghastly
place. Go back up with the elevator.
Visit the last room on the map you haven't visited (the one with the two
insane cancers in front) and get the CASSETTE TAPE and HANDGUN BULLETS (2x)[].
Use the brass key on the door near the Confession Booth that was previously
locked. Take the first door on your left. You're in a Classroom. If you have
played SH1, check the table. If you haven't, do it anyway. Read K. Gordon's
notebook. Another old companion. ^^ Leave the room. Go straight a bit and
enter the next door to your right. You're in a Room with a Cassette Deck. Use
the CASSETTE TAPE. Read the letters on the table. Leave. Do NOT enter the room
you are facing right now unless you are masochistic. Turn right instead and
enter the righthand side door. This is Claudia's Room. Read the Diary, the
card on the desk and pick up the HIGH PRIESTESS TAROT CARD from the bed. We're
all set then, so let's go back to the Child's Room. Solve the Tarot Card
Puzzle on the door and proceed down that hallway. Watch the cutscene. I'm not
quite sure about some endings, what you can do for certain is use the
AGLAOPHOTIS inside your NECKLACE. This will have nasty consequences for all
those involved. More to come soon.
For Pete's sake do NOT turn off your PSX while the credits are rolling... This
is not all and if you leave now you are going to miss things. Please do not
send me any more letterbombs for not mentioning this sooner.
DO NOT LEAVE before the credits have finished. Save your result file.

4. ULTRA SHORT WALKTHROUGH:
==========================================
This one is meant for printing. If you only want a document that gets you
through some way, copy, paste and print this section. Many people will find
this especially useful as speed-walkthrough or checklist, once you have
completed the game and play through it one more time.
NOTE: This shortened guide will NOT contain all item locations, only those you

5. Silent Hill 3: Step-By-Step Puzzle Solution Guide.
==========================================
How does this work?
First, there's always the riddle location, items required, if any, where to
find the clues and what sort of riddle you are facing. Then there's two pieces
of general advice that should give you the right direction to face the puzzle.
This will be followed by questions you would ask somebody else when getting
stuck. To round the thing up in the end, there will be a complete and
(hopefully) comprehensible explanation on the interpretation of the puzzle with
its solution.

=========================================
Solution:
Put the books back on the shelf. Duh. The code you receive is random, but it's
not actually difficult to get it, so who cares.
__________________________________________
I.2 BROOKHAVEN HOSPITAL F2 EAST WING DOOR PUZZLE
__________________________________________
ITEMS NEEDED:
NONE
Examine the Diary next to the door. Also examine the note on the blackboard.
Press, move 2 right;
press, move 1 up;
press, move 2 down;
press and the door shall open.
First thing: You need a 4 digit code.
Second Thing: Think graphical.
=========================================
Solution:
Well, simple really. (Hence the name EASY mode.) The note gives you directions
on how to move on the keypad. If you have to move two numbers to the right,
the first number can only be in the leftmost column. (numbers 1,4,7)
If your next move after that is 1 up, number 1 is out of the running. (4,7)
If your third move is to go down two more, 7 is out, too.
Hence, the first number is 4.
Going on as told in the note, the combination is:
(4 6 3 9)
__________________________________________
I.3 BROOKHAVEN HOSPITAL ATTACHES CASE PUZZLE
__________________________________________
ITEMS NEEDED:
NONE
Sorry guys, this riddle has been cancelled for easy mode. Just read the number
on the face of the alarm clock and enter it into the case.
Get the books scattered on the floor. Go to the locked door at the northern
end of the room and read the note next to it.
Fair is foul and Foul is Fair,
Put these books out of order.
First thing: You need a code to enter into the keypad.
Second thing: Examining things closely will lead you to success.
=========================================
Solution:
Keep changing the books' order till you can read a number on their backs.
Enter this number into the keypad. Done. One of the numbers is very hard to
read as it is on one of the cracks between the books, so please stop mailing
me about it. The code has FOUR digits and you can find them ALL if you examine
the books closely.
__________________________________________
II.2 BROOKHAVEN HOSPITAL F2 EAST WING DOOR PUZZLE:
__________________________________________
ITEMS NEEDED:
NONE
Read the note next to the door.
The first is larger than the second.
The second is twice the third.
The third is smaller than the fourth.
The fourth is half the first.
Four of the numbers are not repeated,
Three are not in the top row,
Two are not in the right row.
One of the numbers is the final key.
This simply is another keypad puzzle. (There must be a shop in Silent Hill
that specializes in fitting keypads to doors and writing cryptic riddles as
access codes... I think I ran across it somewhere on Sanders/Neely Street...
the THERE WAS A HOLE IN HERE. IT'S GONE NOW. COMPANY
or something like that...).
First thing: Math lessons do pay off occasionally.
Second thing: Remember what you want to know.
=========================================
Solution:
Equations - Ok, let's use what we hopefully learned in our invaluable math
lessons: variables. Numbers 1 to 4 are now just the letters a to d to avoid
further confusion.
a > b ;
b = 2xc ;
c < d ;
d = a/2 ;
Positioning - Well, four of the numbers are not repeated, that means there
must be at least 4 different keys to be pressed.
1 2 3 1, 2 and 3 form the top row,
4 5 6 3, 6 and 9 the right one.
7 8 9
If 2a equals d and 2c equals b, we have only a few limited possibilities: 12
24 36 48 So the solution to this riddle and the passcode that will ensure your
journey to continue reads thus:
(8; 6; 3; 4)
__________________________________________
II.3: BROOKHAVEN HOSPITAL ATTACHES CASE PUZZLE
__________________________________________
ITEMS NEEDED:
BRAIN LEVEL 1
(NONE)
I'm not sure whether this is considered a riddle, anyway, I imagine it must be
more than frustrating getting stuck in this place, so here's how to get
unstuck. There is a tattooed body on a stretcher in some room, check out his
tattoo.
It says something like: "The starting time is my key."
Upon entering room M4 the alarm clock will go off. Shut that blasted
noisemaker up and read the time. Rewrite the time in a digital watch format.
Enter these four digits into the attaches case. Just try out the a.m. and p.m.
times.
I'd like to thank KATANASOUL for pointing the plate out to me.
First thing: take a good look around.
Q: I did, there's nothing but a bunch of beds with numbers
and some dead people. How am I supposed to open that damn lock?!
A: Well, you are close. Take a closer look at the numbers.
Q: Ok, there's total disorder, but who cares. What are you on about?
A: Actually, there is a system. Try to be more attentive towards things
as colors and surfaces.
Q: Enough already. Out with it, what's the answer.
A: Well, next to the lock there is a plate with the layout of the room
on it. Roman numerals will show you which digit corresponds to
which bed. The number is random, so I can't include it here.
And this all you need to know to open the lock.
You might remember that door from your first visit on the Hill. And, yes, it's
locked again. But instead of getting the five uberholy items, you'll have to
gather five Tarot cards this time and then put them into the correct slots on
the door. Someone seems to have wanted to make sure that no one snuck out of
that room at night. ^^
ITEMS NEEDED:
TAROT CARD: The Moon
TAROT CARD: The High Priestess
TAROT CARD: The Fool
TAROT CARD: The Hanged Man
TAROT CARD: The Eye of Darkness
Now the first thing you must know,
Is that there's omething in each row.
But that is not the half of it:
Three would be too hard to fit.
The upside-down man under the ground,
to his right, to his left there is no one around
Leave him alone though his tears are profound.
The moon is up, above the sky,
Full or crescent, floating high.
Twinkling light sits like a clown
On the head of a crazy clown.
Your excellency praying to God most high
Do you think you can tell me why
You always look up at the night sky?
Do you have it now? You didn't forget?
One major point you mustn't omit.
And now at the last, before you take a whack
Here's one more hint to help you keep on track.
Scary and hateful that thing in the night
Better be careful - it's not on your right!
Turn to the left and you'll keep it in sight.
First thing: All is here, this should be a piece of cake.
Second thing: Smoking is hazardous to your health.
=========================================
Solution:
Well, what we know is that every row contains AT LEAST one card, but AT MOST 2
cards.
The upside-down man is the Hanged Man, he is under ground, in other words in
the last row. There is no one to his left or his right, so he is in the
middle.
The Moon is floating high, so it is in the top row. It sits like a clown on
the head of some crazy clown. So The Fool must be right underneath it.
Your Excellency means the High Priestess. She looks up at the night sky, so
The Moon must be above her. Since the Hanged Man blocks the entire lower row,
the Priestess must be in the middle row.
The scary and hateful thing in the night is, of course, the EYE OF NIGHT. it's
not on the right, but on the left.
With all these conditions, there is only two possible combinations left. The
one that will get you on is this one:
ITEMS NEEDED:
SHAKESPEARE ANTHOLOGY 1: Romeo and Juliet
SHAKESPEARE ANTHOLOGY 2: King Lear
SHAKESPEARE ANTHOLOGY 3: Macbeth
SHAKESPEARE ANTHOLOGY 4: Hamlet
SHAKESPEARE ANTHOLOGY 5: Othello
Go to the door in the western part of the shop. You'll find it's locked and
there's a keypad on it. On the right side of the door, there is a note. Read
it.
The full text reads as follows:
In here is a tragedy ---
art thou player or audience?
Be as it may, the end doth remain:
all go on only toward death.
The first word at thy left hand:
a false lunacy, a madly dancing man.
Hearing unhearable words, drawn
to a beloved's grave --- and there,
mayhap, true madness at last.
As did this one playing at death, find true death at last.
Killing a nameless lover, she pierced a heart rent by sorrow.
Doth lie invite truth?
Doth verity but wear the mask of falsehood?
Ah, thou pityful, thou miserable ones.
Still amidst lies, though the end cometh not, wherefore yearn for death?
Will thou attend thy beloved? Truths and lies, life and death:
a game of turning white to black and black to white.
Is not a silence brimming with love more precious than flattery?
A peaceful slumber preferred to a throne besmirched with blood?
One vengeful man spilled blood for two;
Two youths shed tears for three;
Three witches disappeared thusly;
And only the four keys remain.
Ah but veryly...
In here lies a tragedy.
Art thou player or audience?
there is something which cannot become a puppet of fate or an onlooker,
peering into a cage.
First thing: This riddle gives you the sequence in which to rearrange the
books.
Second thing: The roman numerals on the back of the books are the keycode.
=========================================
Solution:
This particular riddle requires a little knowledge on Shakespeare. If you have
read one or two of those books and remember vaguely what happened, you should
be fine though.
If you haven't read them but still want to find out without bothering to read
several hundred pages worth of text or worse, go to the theatre 5 times, go
here:

Thanks to POGANIN for correcting my faulty interpretation of this toughy.
Now, here's how the verses relate to the books, of course this is all just my
version, but it works out:
1st VERSE:
The first word at thy left hand:
We start from the left side. ^^
a false lunacy, a madly dancing man.
Queen Gertrud protects Hamlet by stating he is insane.
The gravedigger/clown guy hamlet meets on the graveyard.
Hearing unhearable words, drawn
Hamlet, being called by his father's ghost
to a beloved's grave --- and there,
This refers to Ophelia's funeral.
mayhap, true madness at last.
Well, he seemed rather mad in the end.
Or it might just refer to things that happen in general,
when he battles Laertes, for instance.
As did this one playing at death,
Juliet, trying to feign her own death.
find true death at the last.
As you should know. ^^
Killing a nameless lover,
she pierced a heart rent by sorrow.
Her own, in fact.
Doth lie invite truth?
This would hold true for most Shakespearean tragedies.
Doth verity but wear the mask of falsehood?
This is supposed to be about Othello,
but I can't explain why.
Still amidst lies, though the end cometh not,
wherefore yearn for death?
King Lear yearned for it, but it wouldn't come.
Instead he survived his own daughter... poor guy.
Will thou attend thy beloved? Truths and lies, life and death:
The only daughter that was truly loyal to Lear, Cordelia.
a game of turning white to black and black to white.
This would have matched Othello perfectly...
ah, well.
Is not a silence brimming with love more precious than flattery?
A peaceful slumber preferred to a throne besmirched with blood?
Like the throne Macbeth gets by murdering old King Duncan.
As Poganin points out, there is a Kurosawa movie named
'Throne of Blood' which reenacts Shakespeare in feudal
Japan. (It is, like all Kurosawa movies, (my favourite is
'The 7 Samurai') an excellent film and you should watch it
if you have the occasion.)
One vengeful man spilled blood for two;
Anybody out for revenge? Well, Hamlet for one,
to avenge his murdered father.
Two youths shed tears for three;
Matches only Romeo and Juliet and perfectly at that.
Three witches disappeared thusly;
You know, those from Macbeth:
'By the pricking of my thumbs,
something wicked this way comes. '
And only the four keys remain.
Nope, not the great Speare this time. ^^
So, you might wonder, what do those last lines mean?
Obviously they contain several of the aforementioned plays.
Maybe you have to do something with the corresponding numbers.
Q: I just can't solve it. Give me something to work with.
A: In detail:
The solution to this puzzle is:
Hamlet,Romeo and Juliet, Othello, King Lear and Macbeth.
In Roman numerals IV, I, V, II, III. (Arabic: 4,1,5,2,3)
Q: Ok, that's the sequence, i'm sure of it. BUT IT WON'T WORK!!
A: There's one more verse to be taken into consideration...
Q: Right, you know-it-all... what's with all the bleeding and crying?
A: Well, since the characters that are described here are from books that
were already mentioned before, you might have to change their
corresponding numbers...
Q: And what bloody characters are those supposed to be?
A: Think now. Who was out for revenge? Someone who lost a person very close
to him maybe? Someone who would kill to get his right? Two youths. That
sound familiar? Two young people? Did they know each other? Did they like
one another maybe? Three witches. By the pricking of my thumbs,
something wicked this way comes.
Q: Right, I get it now. What do I do with the numbers now?
A: Rather hard to hint at that. The vengeful man spilled blood for two...
TWICE as much as that for one man. The two youths shed tears for three...
THREE TIMES as much as one alone would have been able to shed.
The witches disappeared. There were witches here.
They are gone now. They left NOTHING behind, absolutely nothing.
Q: I give up, that riddle is stupid and totally incomprehensible and the
fact that you wasted precious time and energy with it, fills my heart with
sadness.
A: Strange, I felt similar about all of this. ^^
Here's the full explanation though:
So the vengeful man spilled blood for two, he should get credit for that.
Let's multiply his number with two.
2x4=8 (8,1,5,2,3)
Two youths shed tears for three? That's not fair, they should get their value
multiplied with three for that, too.
3x1=3 (8,3,5,2,3)
The three witches disappear. Well, good riddance. ^^
(8,3,5,2)
The door is locked with one of those unbreakable quality Silent Hill keypad
locks (R), featuring numbers 1 to 9. (Didn't you ever wonder why in most
action movies they just have to shoot those things to get them open? Well, I
tried, but it wouldn't work for me. Guess those locks are action-hero-proof or
something. ^^) Next to the door on the west side wall you will find a long
memo, read it. The text goes as follows:
Pure eyes, blue like a glassy bead---
You are always looking at me
and I am always looking at you.
Ah, you're too meek---
beautiful, unspoiled:
thus I'm so sad, I suffer---
and so happy, it hurts.
I want to hurt you
and destroy myself
What you would think
if you knew how I felt.
Would you simply smile,
not saying a word?
Even curses from your mouth
would be as beautiful as pearls.
I place my left hand on your
face as though we were to kiss.
Then I suddenly shove my thumb
deep into your eyesocket.
Abruptly, decisively,
like drilling a hole.
And what would it feel like?
Like jelly?
Trembling with ecstasy, I obscenely
mix it around and around: I must
taste the warmth of your blood.
How would you scream?
Would you shriek "It hurts!
It hurts!" as cinnabar-red tears
stream from your crushed eye?
You can't know the maddening
hunger I've felt in the midst of
our kisses, so many of them
I've lost count.
As though drinking in your cries,
I bring my hopes to fruition:
biting your tongue, shredding it,
biting at your lips as if tasting
your lipstick.
Oh, what euphoric heights I would
reach, having my desires fulfilled
like a greedy, gluttonous cur.
I longed, too, for your cherry-tinted
cheeks, tasty enough to bewitch my
tongue.
I would surely be healed,
and would cry like a child.
And how is your tender ear?
It brushes against my cheek;
I want it to creep up to my lips so
I can sink my teeth into its flesh.
Your left ear, always hearing words
whispered sweet as pie---
I want it to hear my true feelings.
I never lied, no...
but I did have my secrets.
Ah, but what must you think of me?
Do you hate me? Are you afraid?
As though inviting you to the agony
at the play's end; if you wish, you
could destroy me--- I wouldn't care.
As you wish, you may destroy me
--- I wouldn't care.
That's it. 15 verses.
First thing: Look for things that could be converted into a keypad code.
Second thing: Hard mode puzzles require a great deal of abstraction.
=========================================
Solution:
I admit, this one gave me a hard time myself.
We had some discussions over it on the SHF and when I finally solved it
with my patented doodling method, I was rather unsatisfied with the result.
sin1982cl however came up with a far more logical explanation for this one,
and that's why my credit goes out to him.
I had to edit it his explanation a bit, though. ^^
As often in puzzles that are about abstraction, you have to relate
two things without obvious connection to one another. Same thing here.
As you might have noticed while reading the poem, it deals with facial parts.
Now we can overlay the important areas of a face to a keypad without problems.
It looks like this:
1 2 3 eye eye
4 5 6 ear nose ear
7 8 9 cheek mouth cheek
Most of this riddle is simply fillers, what
we have to focus on is the parts of the face
that are connected with the riddlemakers mouth.
He seems to be a little cannibal.
" ...I place my left hand on your
face as though we were to kiss
then I suddenly shove my thumb
deep into your eyesocket,..."
If you were standing face to face to another person,
your left hand would touch his right side.
So this has to be the RIGHT eye.
"...I must
taste the warmth of your blood.
How would you scream?
Would you shriek "It hurts!
It hurts!" as cinnabar-red tears
stream from your crushed eye?..."
"...taste the warmth of our blood..." is the important bit.
The blood is another thing we have to
watch since he has to lick it up to taste
it.Since the bloody tears are streaming
DOWNWARDS, this means we have to go
DOWN from our starting position (on #1)
and move on to #4.
"...I bring my hopes to fruition:
biting your tongue, shredding it,
biting at your lips as if tasting
your lipstick..."
"...biting at your lips..." is our next point of interest.
This can be clearly placed as the mouth
area and thus #8 on the keypad.
"...I longed, too, for your cherry-tinted
cheeks, tasty enough to bewitch my
tongue..."
the "..cherry-tinted cheeks..." are what our flesh-loving friend is after
next, which corresponds to either 7 or 9.
"...your left ear, always hearing words
whispered sweet as pie..." the left ear corresponds with key #6.
This leaves us with two possibilities for the final combination:
4896 and
4876
We decided on choosing the left cheek variant, because it is located between
the mouth and the left ear, so you might imagine our riddler to first bite the
mouth, lick the cheek and then bite the ear.
The sequence would therefore be 4 8 9 6, which proves to be the final
combination.

III.3 BROOKHAVEN HOSPITAL ATTACHES CASE PUZZLE
__________________________________________
'The starting time is the key'
This is not a riddle to me, so I'll just tell you that the solution is the
same as on normal riddle mode.
Go and read the ten memos that are scattered around the room. Then proceed to
read the poem inscribed on the crematorium door. Once you've got all that, you
are ready to attack that combination lock.
The memos read as follows: (the number represents the bed on which it is
found, the titles are what the memos are called in the memo-screen):
1. Song of the Sparrow:
Who killed Cock Robin?
"The Sparrow," they said
"He wants them all dead
To him honey-sweet is their sobbin'."
2. Song of the Owl:
The Owl who forgot the sky
Resigned to his poor earthbound state
Hungry of full didn't matter at all,
He ate and he ate and he ate.
3. Song of the Thrush:
The grass the Thrush so loved to eat
Gave him sweet happiness
He sank ever deeper and finally fell
To destruction and fatal distress.
4. Song of the Robin:
Cock Robin, who hid the key away
Is ash in the oven all right.
The place he held is empty now
And the doors remain shut tight.
5. Song of the Lark:
The Lark's child lost all his words
And walled himself up all away.
Heart and mouth both locked up tight
In a cage where no one want to stay.
6. Song of the Dove:
The Dove's hope died, he chose his path
His flapping wings fell still
Drenched in scarlet there he lay
His cheeks pale white an chill.
7. Song of the Linnet:
He seeks out her soul by his own black ambition.
Frightening her out of her wits
Whispering love songs in her ear
What cruel Linnet wants, he gets.
8. Song of the Rook:
The black Rook is the praying sort
Who hears the gods in the skies
His whispered petitions go on without end
And glassy and dim are his eyes.
9. Song of the Wren:
The Wren with pure heart as yet unrefined
Makes us laugh unto his feeble lip-smacking
But still we all know he shall never grow old
And he knows not how much he is lacking.
0. Song of the Kite:
The Kite hot, crazy and panting mad
Sweet shackles that tease and excite
Death itself would drive him wild
Red blood that turns milky white.
Crematorium door:
Burn the one who knows no death
Pure, adored by those above
No prayers within, just simple love
And now the pining hunter
The flames longing for his rebirth
A distant flame within the earth.
Burn up that heavy body of his
Make it wind, dancing in the sky
That bottomless gut now a cloud, now a sigh
The sweet blood on his laughing lips
Now calls him to the gates of hell
There burns evermore that soulless shell.
Four bodies return to ashes
Thus the door is opened
Thus the door is opened
First thing: There's four numbers on the combination lock.
Second thing: There's four verses on the crematorium door.
Q:I don't see what the connection between those birds and the numbers for the
keys should be...
A:Check the environment more closely.
Especially the beds.
Q:So all I have to do this time is match the memo numbers
to the verses on the crematorium door?
A:Yes, this one is a piece of cake... though the clues tend
to be a bit mushy at times.
=========================================
Solution:
As mentioned before, you have to match four of the birds to the four verses of
the poem on the crematorium door.
The first one:
"Burn the one who knows no death
Pure, adored by those above
No prayers within, just simple love.",
refers to the Wren, as his heart is pure and his lip-smacking for us is a sign
of the simple love within him.
The second verse: "And now the pining hunter
The flames longing for his rebirth
A distant flame within the earth.",
refers to the Owl. A hunting bird, but bound to earth,
this matches exactly the description in the memo.
Third verse:"Burn up that heavy body of his
Make it wind, dancing in the sky
That bottomless gut now a cloud, now a sigh",
refers to the Linnet. Actually I thought this was the perfect match for the
owl at first, but then I remembered that Linnet are real gluttons and are
known for eating three times their weight in a single day. That is also where
he got his name: This peculiar bird tends to eat so much flaxseed, that it
cannot fly anymore. The old word for flax was Lin or Linnen.
(I'm not making this up, check a dictionary. ^^)
Fourth verse:"The sweet blood on his laughing lips
Now calls him to the gates of hell
There burns evermore that soulless shell.",
refers to the Sparrow. Since he loves to make the Robins suffer, there is
blood on his lips and he is smiling because he just killed one.
The final sequence therefore is:
Wren, Owl, Linnet, Sparrow.
ITEMS REQUIRED:
EYE OF NIGHT TAROT CARD (XXII)
HANGED MAN TAROT CARD (XII)
THE FOOL TAROT CARD (0)
HIGH PRIESTESS TAROT CARD (II)
THE MOON TAROT CARD (XVIII)
On the bed you will find a notebook. Read it. The text says:
ING WXX NXA
OEI III VII
MOX NOT XVH
XON HNG III
XAA CXX CCX
JII IEI IHT
First thing: Examine the cards closely.
Second thing: Note the whole thing down on paper.
Now, if you throw out all of the letters that are not roman numerals or are
too big to refer to tarot card numbers, you'll come up with this.
II XXIII XVII
XX 0 XVIII
XII XXII XI
Remember the numerals on the cards.
=========================================
Solution:
HP EON ooo
ooo FOOL MOON
HM ooo ooo
==========================================
6. FIGHTING TACTICS GUIDE:
==========================================
BOSS FIGHT: SPLITWORM.
The splitworm does not require any sophisticated tactical work.
Equip your bullet vest, keep your distance to the opening he comes out from
and shoot him when he sticks his head out. 1 to 3 clips will do the trick.
BOSS FIGHT: MISSIONARY.
There is no elaborated tactic known to me.
Anyway, a basic one will do the trick here, too.
Wait till the monster approaches you to cut you in half,
then run sideways and let him have a full salvo, preferably from the shotgun.
When he is down, give him some more to swallow and he shouldn't be doing much
damage to you.
BOSS FIGHT: LEONARD.
Don't let go of that search view button. (L2)
Get any gun you like and best equip your bullet vest as well.
Follow him when he submerges and once he pops up again, quickly circle him
and make him eat lead.
There's only one thing you have to look out for: his long arms.
Stay out of his reach and he can't harm you.
One of the many advantages of using firearms.
Sounds simple, smells simple, tastes like chicken.
BOSS FIGHT: THE MEMORY OF ALESSA.
Well, the first 'Alessa' only brings a knife and a pretty mean punch with her.
Simply outrun her, wait till she tries to stab you and then shoot her
with the hand gun or slice her with the Katana.
The Stun Gun works to great effect also.
The second 'Alessa' packs some artillery, which makes fighting her very similar
to fighting Cibyl. You can hide behind horses and use them same tactics on her
than you did on the previous one.
Third 'Alessa' will attack you with a pipe...
She is consequently rather slow and is easily dealt with, using the evade and
shoot tactic.
Fourth 'Alessa' Packs a submachine gun... better not let her use it.
Although the SMG bursts can be evaded when running or hiding behind horses,
best stay close to her,
BOSS FIGHT: THE GOD
Ooh, a god, scary. The bastard sends homing hellfire lv. 7 after you...
No reason to break a sweat though, just stay well out of range of his
enormously long appendages and evade his fire attacks.
Once you've evaded one of the latter, shoot him a couple of times with the
handgun and when he goes down use the biggest piece of artillery you can.
Shouldn't take too long if done correctly.
==========================================
7. EXTRA WEAPONS:
==========================================
Upon every consecutive clear, you will be awarded with an extra weapon.
The conditions upon which they are awarded have not yet been cleared yet,
I'll try to add this as soon as I understand them.
Here's how to find them:
BEAM SABER: The name is the game. Found as a replacement door knob
on the far west end of the 2nd floor in the Shopping Mall.
FLAMETHROWER: Found in Helen's Bakery, also on the 2nd floor of the
Shopping Mall. Read the note under it. ^^
UNLIMITED SMG AMMO: Found in the dead end alley, right after you exit
the bathroom window. No, it's not a bandana.
HEATHER BEAM: Equipped from the beginning.
Can only be used when no weapon is equipped. It has two
firing modes:
Heather Beam: Homing white balls of light that pursue
targets. Not even that weak, once you have
mastered their use.
NRJ Octagons: Octagonal (??) shaped energy formations that
need to be aimed by you. Pretty powerful and
neat to look at.
When used with the Transform Costume,
it produces other results:
Sexy Beam: Like the Heather Beam, only that it is pink
and you don't shoot 2 balls, but 8 instead.
On top of that, there's a weird shaped
energy thingy shooting out that you can aim
with the D-pad or the stick.
Simply devastating.
Eye Laser: The name is the game. Heather shoots two
laser beams from her eyes... Extremely
useful when facing enemies at a distance.
Heather and Sexy Beam can be unleashed by simply pressing
X. The Eye Laser and the Energy Octagons can be produced by
tapping forward + X on the D-pad, and then need directing.
==========================================
8. EXTRA COSTUMES:
==========================================
Extra costumes can be unlocked at the Extra Costumes screen. (duh.)
They require passwords which can be found throughout the game or are awarded
with game clears. Here's an incomplete list of the costumes available.
NOTE: those passwords are case-sensitive.
HappyBirthDay : Heather shirt
TOUCH_MY_HEART : Don't Touch Shirt
LightToFuture : The Light Shirt
ShogyouMujou : Transience Shirt
BlueRobbieWin : Killer Rabbit Shirt
01_03_08_11_12 : Royal Flush Shirt
cockadooodledoo : Golden Rooster Shirt
GangsterGirl : God of Thunder Shirt
I_Love_You : Onsen Shirt
PrincessHeart : Transform Costume (un- and reequip for some serious fun.)
Shut_your_mouth : Zipper Shirt
PutHere2FeelJoy : Block Head Shirt
SH3_Wrestlarn : Game Reactor Shirt
sLmLdGhSmKfBfH : Play Shirt
About the shirts:
Heather Shirt : shirt worn by the creative team when being interviewed.
The Light Shirt : the picture is from SH1. It can be found on the 3rd floor
of Alchemilla Hospital and is titled:
'The Light illuminating the Darkness'
Killer Rabbit Shirt : yep, those are the bunnies from the Amusement Park. ^^
God of Thunder Shirt: not 100% sure about that, but I think it shows Raijin,
the ancient japanese god of thunder. The tattoos on her
arms seem to be japanese or chinese ink drawings.
I can't yet give any information about those on her hands
because I still haven't seen any screencaps.
I'll try and find out, though.
Onsen Shirt : well, IIRC, onsen means hot springs in japanese.
So this must be the fan shirt of some unknown spa. ^^
My friend Makube told me that written above the symbol
is the word 'household' and that the symbol on the bottom
stands for some bath... (I thought it was a steaming mug)
Is this an advice for hardcore gamers to take baths more
often? ^^
Transform Costume : Hm... I guess this thing should ring a bell with everyone.
In case it doesn't: sailor uniform.
Un- and reequip it for a cool cutscene. ^^
Royal Flush Shirt : As from the SHF points out, this thing has
a very interesting history of its own. I hope that,
with the help of Skyfox, I can bring it to you.
Game Reactor Shirt : Game Reactor is free gaming mag in
Norway, Denmark and Finland. Not in Germany, though.
Play Shirt : The shirt from a rather new german game mag
called (can you guess it?)'Play'.
url: http://www.playplaystation.com
(It says so on the shirt's back).
The front features the ever so popular winged flaming skull.
Heather goes Heavy Metal.
Known to me so far are three endings:
(Of course this does NOT mean that's all you can get.)
NORMAL : Heather defeats Claudia, who had tried to give birth to god after
Heather 'aborted' him. Having killed Claudia, Heather is once more
overwhelmed by the sadness she feels because of losing her dad,
Harry. Cut. The Amusement Park. Douglas has managed in spite of his
broken leg, to find a bank to sit on and has fallen asleep. Heather
approaches and Douglas wakes with a start. On recognizing her, he
smiles and asks her whether all is over now. Heather, holding the
knife in her hand, keeps her stony face. She approaches Douglas and
says in a tone that sends shivers up your spine: 'Not yet... You're
still alive.' Douglas' face is contorted with panic. Heather
approaches him and he knows that he cannot escape her. Suddenly
Heather leaps towards him and shouts: 'Booh.' Great relief on
Douglas' side here. ^^ Heather asks Douglas to call her by her real
name from now on: Cheryl. Douglas inquires whether Heather will also
let her hair go back to black. She answers: 'Well, I dunno... don't
you think blondes have more fun?' Credit roll. Heather kneels before
Harry's grave.
POSSESSED: Heather defeats Claudia, who had tried to give birth to god after
Heather 'aborted' him. Having killed Claudia, Heather is once more
overwhelmed by the sadness she feels because of losing her dad,
Harry. Cut. The Amusement Park. A puddle on the ground. Something
drips down and into it. Douglas is lying in a pool of blood.
The influence of Samael seems to have been too much for Heather.
As the camera pans up, you can see her bloodstained knife,
Fade to black, credits.
UFO : Don't want to spoil this for anyone, only this much:
It's not the UFO ending, it's the REVENGE ending.
Oh yeah, and it rocks. ^^
==========================================
EASTER EGGS:
==========================================
Thanks to an anonymous helper who send me those:
