Beginner fighting difficulty setting:
Intentionally die twice during game play under the
normal fighting difficulty setting. The fighting difficulty setting
can now be set to Beginner in the extra options menu.
Life display option:
Successfully complete the game under the hard difficulty
setting to unlock Life Display at the extra options
screen.
Hint: UFO ending:
Successfully complete game and unlock the Princess
Heart costume and the Heather Beam weapon. The Heather Beam is
a special weapon which you can only use if Heather or Cheryl is
not holding any weapon. Defeat all monsters and Bosses using only
the Heather Beam. Note: The Monster defeated counter
should read 0 kills.
Hint: Possessed ending:
Kill all monsters with any weapon except melee ones,
preferably the unlimited sub machine gun (a special weapon).
Hint: Extra interactive scenes:
To get extra scenes while playing the game, use a memory
card with at least one finished saved game file from Silent
Hill 2 . New interactions with some objects and new scenes
will now be available. These scenes are similar or with some type
of reference to the previous game. For example, Heather trying
to look for something stuck into the toilet in the mall.
After completing Silent Hill 2 , use that same memory card
while playing Silent Hill 3 to get flashbacks. The flashback
locations are:
When you examine the second stall in the 1F ladies room in the
mall.
When you examine the mail boxes across from Daisy Villa Apartments.
When you examine the poster at Haven's Night.
When you examine the small section of fence on the north side
of the Brookhaven Hospital's Roof Area.
Hint: Death scenes:
There are multiple areas in the game where special
death scenes occur for your character if you trigger them.
In the hospital, allow yourself to be killed by the nurses. The
screen will go black, and then it will show Heather lying on the
ground, as a male doctor zombie shambles up, grabs and widely
spreads her legs, and drags her off into the darkness.
At the final area, after Claudia kills Vincent and the exchange
between Heather and Claudia ensues, equip a weapon and attack
Claudia with it. Heather will then begin to bleed out and birth
the God . This is not really an ending, as it counts
as a Game Over , but is a gruesome ending nonetheless.
While in the subway, hop down onto the tracks and run all the
way to the end of them, into the tunnel. Heather will be run over
by the train, accompanied by nauseating sound effects.
When on the train, simply turn around and exit through the door
in the rear of any car. Heather will be on the very end of the
train. If you move forward towards the edge, a first-person cut
scene will occur in which Heather falls from the train onto the
tracks, and dies.
There are other death scenes located in specific areas throughout
the game. Look for areas that seem significant (locations from
previous games, for instance) and allow yourself to be killed.
Hint: Unlock up to ten Extreme Action Mode
games:
Finish the game in hard action mode to unlock Extreme
Action Mode 1 (an increased difficulty mode). Finish Extreme Action
Mode 1 to unlock Mode 2, etc. Continue doing this until you unlock
the last one, Extreme Action Mode X. If you finish this last mode
you will be rewarded with the God Of Thunder T-shirt.
Hint: Book store: Puzzle:
When putting the books out of order, the solution is
4 5 2 3 1, under the normal action and normal riddle difficulty
settings.
The solution under the hard difficulty setting is 8 3 5 2.
Hint: Brookhaven Hospital: Second lobby
door password:
The password is an easy math problem. The first digit
is greater than the second digit. The second digit is the third
digit multiplied by two. The third digit is half of the first
digit. The solution is 8 6 3 4, under the normal action and normal
riddle difficulty settings.
The solution under the easy difficulty setting is 4 6 3 9.
The solution under the hard difficulty setting is 4 8 9 6.
Hint: Brookhaven Hospital: Third lobby
door password:
For this, go to floor B, then to the storeroom . Go
to the end of the room and take a photo of the bloody wall with
a shelf near it. The solution is 4 7 5 6, under the normal action
and normal riddle difficulty settings.
The solution under the hard difficulty setting is 1 3 2 8.
Hint: Brookhaven Hospital: Crematory puzzle:
The solution under the hard riddle difficulty setting
is 9 2 7 1.
The solution under the normal difficulty setting is: 9 3 6 7.
Hint: Brookhaven Hospital: Suitcase on
bed password:
Look at the clock near the bed. The time is the password.
For example, if the clock shows the 5h:6m, you would enter 0 5
0 6. The solution is 0 7 1 9, under the normal action and normal
riddle difficulty settings.
Note: The clock should be read in military time. For example,
if the alarm clock reads as 2:14 then it should be entered as
14:14 on the suitcase.
Hint: Brookhaven Hospital: 33rd floor lock
password:
The solution to the puzzle is about some birds . The
order is Wren, Owl, Linnet, Sparrow. The solution is 9 2 7 1 under
the hard riddle difficulty setting.
Hint: Brookhaven Hospital: Bloody mode
33rd floor lock password:
After hospital changes to bloody mode, you can go to
the 33rd floor. At the top of the room is a stony picture on the
wall . This picture shows you the order of the digits. For example:
I is number of this bed is digit 1
II is number of this bed is digit 2
III is number of this bed is digit 3
IV is number of This bed is digit 4
Where the digits are indicate the number of beds that you see
bloody. The solution is 8 2 3 7, under the normal action and normal
riddle difficulty settings.
Hint: Brookhaven Hospital: Hidden ammunition:
For sub machine gun ammunition, go to the hospital
roof.
Hint: Subway: Vengeful ghost:
When initially reaching the subway station, look for
a cluster of vending machines for coins and tickets. On top of
one of those machines is a newspaper telling of a man who was
killed, presumably by accident, by a train. Later, once you begin
descending levels, you will come across a stairwell that has an
occult magazine lying on the ground. Read it, and it will describe
how the ghosts of those who commit suicide or those who died by
accident often come back to haunt the places of their death, and
will either come to people for help or take revenge on them. If
you read both of these articles and descend the steps, Heather
will walk down to the subway track, and a small intermission sequence
will ensue which has a ghost push Heather onto the train tracks.
You must turn around quickly and climb back up, or you will be
killed by an oncoming train. Note: That this occurred in the Extra
New Game mode, and may not happen the first time through on Normal
Game mode.
Hint: Order of tarot cards at the last
door of the game:
Arrange the cards as follows in the normal action and
normal riddle difficulty settings:
Northwest position: Eye Of The Night
Northeast position: Moon
West position: High Priestess
East position: Fool
South position: Hanged Man
Arrange the cards as follows in the hard difficulty setting.
Northwest position: The High Priestess
North position: The Eye Of The Night
Center position: The Fool
East position: The Moon
Southwest position: The Hanged Man
The riddle is a problem with Roman numerals. The Priestess is
number II (2) as read on the book about tarots. The Eye Of The
Night is XXII (22). The Fool is 0. The Moon is XVIII (18). The
Hanged Man is XII (12). Look in the book of drawings to see that
XVIII can stay only in the east position (the last letter is I
instead of L); XII is only in the southwest position; II is only
in the northwest position; 0 and XXII have two places where they
can stay. Swap them until you find their correct place.
Hint: Heather Beam:
Kill 333 enemies. Playing through the game several
times will achieve this.
Note: Wear the Transform costume to change the Heather Beam into
the Sexy Beam.
Hint: Life Bar:
Successfully complete the game under the hard action
and hard riddle difficulty settings to unlock the Life Bar
option at the extra options screen.
Hint: Never get tired:
Equipping the Princess Heart or Transform costume will
make Heather run long distances without getting tired. This is
also useful for the Heather Beam weapon, since it depends on how
tired Heather is.
Hint: Heather looking dead:
Equipping the God Of Thunder costume allow Heather
or Cheryl to look like one of the evil Heathers in the Amusement
Park. When you get to the scene where Heather will eat
her pendant, you will see some kind of lettering on her fingers.
Hint: Weapons:
You can find a shotgun is in the subway and a machine
gun in the hospital.
The best weapon for last battle is the katana.
Hint: Special weapon locations:
Once you unlocked the following Special weapons they
can be found at their respective places:
Beam Saber: At the end of the hallway where you get the bookstore
key; hanging on the door.
Flamethrower-In Helen's Bakery (where you get the tongs); on the
counter.
Infinite Ammo Sub Machine Gun: Immediately after exiting out of
the bathroom window (after the start of the game) go left; it
is at the dead end.
Heather Beam: After obtaining it, you always have it. You can
use it when no weapon is equipped.
Hint: Silencer:
After the sewer, go to the apartment 5F. You will see
a room with a big hole. There is mattress near the hole. To the
right of it is a wall that that has a light blue color section.
Use a pipe to break the wall and get the silencer.
Hint: Unlock the Flamethrower and the Beam
Saber with just one game played completely:
To unlock these two extra-weapons without having to
play a new game from the beginning, save your game in the tarot-puzzle
room just before the last Boss. When you finish the game, you
will unlock one of the weapons (Flamethrower or Beam Saber). Save
your results. After this, load that previous saved game and finish
it again. You will now unlock the other weapon.
Hint: Unlock the Flamethrower, Beam Saber,
and Unlimited Sub Machine Gun with just one game played completely:
Finish the game and save your results. You should have
at least one special weapon unlocked (Beam Saber, Unlimited Sub
Machine Gun, or Flamethrower). Then, load your saved game again.
Finishing the game the second time with the same save will unlock
the Flamethrower (if you do not have it). Finish the game the
third time, but kill the last Boss, Claudia, with only melee weapons
such as the Maul or the Katana. After that, you will unlock the
Unlimited Sub Machine Gun. Note: If you do not have the Beam Saber,
then in the third time through kill the last Boss, Claudia, with
long range weapons such as the shotgun or the sub machine gun.
Hint: Ammo multiplier 5X:
Finish the game once, then load your saved game again.
Finish the game again nine times using the same saved game. When
you start a new game or extra new game, enter the extra options
menu. You can now set the bullet multiplier option to 5X. When
you pick any ammunition, it will be multiplied nine times more
than the normal amount.
Hint: Claudia:
When the intermission sequence between Claudia and
Vincent is finished and Vincent dies, use the necklace on Claudia.
