Unlock all four endings and Eileen's alternate costume on a single game save. Start a new game and select Eileen's nurse costume. Cynthia will wear her alternate costume.
Alternate Eileen Costume
Start a game in 'Brand New Fear' mode. Continue until the 'Outside of Room 302' part of the game. Enter Room 303 and search it for Eileen's nurse costume. Collect it and complete the game. When you start a new game, you can now have Eileen dressed as a nurse.
Ampoules
Ampoules are the best of the healing items. There are two Ampoules that can be found. One is in the storage room on the first floor of the Hospital World. The other is in the bathroom inside Room 106 (the second time around the Apartment World). Save these for the final battle; they will help, especially under the hard difficulty setting.
Avoiding dogs
The dogs of Silent Hill can be annoying. They are fast and inflict good damage, especially under the hard difficulty setting when they attack in a group. However, you can get past an area infested with dogs by simply walking. As long as you do
not attack one or walk up to one, you should be able to pass unhurt. This is very useful in the beginning of the game under the hard difficulty setting, as there are lots of dogs and no good weapons on hand. A good example of this trick would be
this. If you run while on the platform (where Cynthia is shouting over the intercom), a group of dogs will jump out of the subway car and attack. If you walk, no dogs will appear from the car and you can proceed to the escalator with no damage. Note: This will not help with all enemies, just the dogs. If you kill an enemy in an area infested with dogs, they will all run over and suck the blood from it, allowing you to get past them easily. Note: If you step in front of one, it will attack you.
Brand New Fear Mode
Successfully complete the game under any difficulty. Save the game after the credits complete to unlock the 'Brand New Fear' option .
Call Restaurant
When you look out your window, you can see the phone number of a restaurant. You can use the phone to call that number for fun.
Chainsaw
Start a game in 'Brand New Fear' mode. After entering the Forest World for the first time go to Jasper's car. Search near by for a cut tree trunk. Look next to it to find the chainsaw.
Creepy Call
Whenever you walk around in Henry's apartment, go to his bedroom and look out of his window. If you notice, you will see a billboard that says "Bar Ashfield" on it and right below it as a phone number. Then go to his phone next to his bed and dial: 555 - 3750. It will play a little creepy call makes Henry feel disturbed.
Eileen's damage
If you allow Eileen to take enough damage, her appearance will change for the worst, and she will walk faster towards the pool in the final battle.
Eileen's Special Gift
Once you get to the wish house, after it has burnt down the mysterious writing in blood can be read aloud by Eileen. After some adjusting she will say "Okay...here goes..." and read the words.
Fifth Alternate Ending
Successfully complete the game four times and earn the 4 different endings. Play the game again using the same save slot and select Eileen's nurse uniform. If you complete the game a fifth time, hold Y and B before the ending to see the special UFO fifth ending.
Ghost Cynthia and the candle
Unlike most ghosts, if a candle is placed in front of the ghost Cynthia, she will stand in place and scream as her hair begins to float in every other direction. Other ghosts simply fall.
Guns
The use of guns is not necessary. It is quite easy to use melee weapons throughout the game. Also, using guns on ghosts prove ineffective unless the bullets are silver.
Knock on window
When looking outside, press A and you may knock on the window. This trick has no use though.
Mannequin body parts
When you enter the forest for the second time, go to the corner with the torch. Take the torch and take it to your laundry room in your apartment. Use the oil found on the workbench inside there on the torch. When you return, you may light it when you approach the other torches pressing A. This is used to see down each well that happens to be in each corner of the map. Be cautious however; if you use the torch to attack or unequip it, it will go out. This causes you to turn back to light it. Killing all of the enemies first and running from the man chasing you is recommended.
Midwhich Elementary school bus
When looking out of your window during the day, you will notice a school bus. If you look close enough, you will notice it is A Midwhich Elementary school bus. This is a reference to the original Silent Hill, where it is the school in which you visit within the first thirty minutes of the game.
Moving Loading Screens
Whenever you enter a new room and get the loading screens with the weird symbols, move the left analog stick around and watch as they move across the screen.
One Weapon Mode
Successfully complete the game with a rank of 10 big stars.
Possessions
Throughout the latter part of the game, your apartment will become possessed and/or haunted. If you took the Shabby Doll that the mysterious man gave you inside of the Apartment World, Ghosts will slowly come into your apartment. No
matter what, however, your apartment will become possessed from time to time. You must eliminate these possessions by lighting Holy Candles near the possessed item, or equipping a Saint Medallion once you go near it.
Prison: Kitchen light
If you want to turn on the kitchen lights, you must make the three holes in each floor above each other leading you to the kitchen. You can only move the holes of the third and second floors. If it did not work, try another three holes above each other leading you to the kitchen.
Prison: Ladders
While in the prison, always use the ladders. This saves time, and taking the stairs leads to being attacked by enemies. The only reason the stairs are there is that so that Eileen can get up and down. The only time not to use the stairs is when you are going after Andrew DeSalvo's ghost for the generator room key.
Prison: Rotating levels
When rotating the second and third levels of the prison, do it as follows. Turn the handle four times to the right on the second floor, and two times to the right on the third floor. No matter what difficulty level you are playing on, this will always work.
Radio clues
Notice the suspicious radio in Henry's living room. At certain parts throughout the game, you will be able to listen to certain broadcasts. Listen to them carefully as they will be part of the story and clue you into what is going on. After you finish
the subway, take out the chocolate milk and keep it in your inventory; then save and restart. When you reload, look through the front door peephole then go to the radio for a broadcast from Washington. They will talk about a 3 year old boy.
Saint Necklace
Wearing the Saint Necklace, it has two usesl to keep your "ghost sense" from causing actual damage, and to actually exorcise spirits from your apartment. When wearing it in any other world besides the apartment, the screen will do its usual haziness when ghosts appear, but nothing more until the necklace breaks. Keep in mind that the necklace will break if you are confronted by ghosts for too long. Wearing the necklace and running to a possessed area of your partment will cause the spirit to fight back, but if the necklace is not already broken, the spirit will lose and disappear. Keep in mind that you must have your apartment completely exorcised for the good endings.
Silent Hill 3 Cameo
Sometimes if you look out of Henry's windows, you may see a hot air baloon in the sky that has the Silent Hill 3 bunny rabbit from the amusement park as its design. You will also see the bunny as a stuffed animal if you look through the hole in the apartment where you can see Eileen's room.
Submachine Gun
Successfully complete the game with a rank of at least 9 big stars. Start a game in 'Brand New Fear' mode and look in Room 202 in the Apartment World to find a submachine gun for Eileen.
Sword Of Obedience
There is no need to waste a sword if you are just entering areas for items. Instead, knock the ghost down and stab it with the sword, get what you need, and take the sword back. After taking the blade out, you have five to seven seconds to leave without your "ghost sense" ringing out.
The Man's Doll
When a strange man places the doll on the stairway, do not take it. It actually makes things worse for you afterwards. If you place it in your storage box, babies will appear above the box, making it difficult to check your items. Your only choice would be to hold it in your inventory, but it requires a slot that you may need.
