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 double pyramid head enemies:
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. 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. |
