Douglas in underwear:
After successfully completing the game once, highlight the "Extra
New Game" option at the main menu and press Up(2), Down(2), Left,
Right, Left, Right, Circle, X. Heather will sigh after you choose a
difficulty and riddle level to confirm correct code entry. In some
scenes when you see Douglas, he will be wearing his underwear.
Extra options menu:
Press L1, L2, R1, or R2 at the options screen to display an extra
options menu
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: Advancing to Extreme X easily:
Defeating the final Boss on Extreme X is a nightmare. However, there
is way to get around it. Do the Revenge ending repeatedly and you
are on your way to Level X. The only Boss monster that you should
encounter is the worm that resembles a mutated Johnson on Sundays.
Beware, your only weapon during this quest is the slow, fairly
strong Sexy Beam. Become familiar with using the Sexy Beam, use the
True Heather Beam (R2 + X) on dogs and flying monsters, and use the
Heather Ray (R2 + X(2) or Forward + R2 + X) on the giant monsters
and the squirming little ones. Remember you can recover your stamina
by exiting and reentering a room. Stamina is a must during this quest
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: Defeating the last Boss with less ammunition:
Equip the handgun and fire two shots. Note: One should be fine, but
fire two just in case. After Claudia bends over, equip the Maul
(spiked mace) and do the overhead attack by pressing X hard. Since
you will be invulnerable when Heather swings the Maul, Claudia will
not hit you with her Retaliation smack. Note: Even though the swing
is slow, Claudia will just wait for it.
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: Heather Beam firing modes:
There are three ways to fire the Heather Beam. The Homing Ray is
only usable when Heather is not wearing the Princess Heart costume,
and can be done by holding X. The second one is The Psycho Ball,
which is usable anytime and can be done by pressing X then pressing
and holding X a second time. The third one is Heather True-Beam,
which is only usable when Heather is wearing the Princess Heart or
Transform costume, and can be done by holding X.
Hint: Setting the ammo multiplier:
You can only set the ammo multiplier after successfully completing
the game at least once. Then, press Select to go to the status menu,
and go to the options menu. Press R1, R2, L1, or L2) to enter the
extra options menu. You can now set the ammo multiplier to any
value. The ammo multiplier will set the amount of any ammunition you
pick by a multiplying its current ammo value to the number you set
in the bullet multiplier extra option. For example, when you pick a
magazine of 32 bullets for the machine gun, you will instead get 64
bullets when you set the bullet multiplier to 2X.
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: Blood color change:
You can change the color of the blood in the extra options menu. You
can set the blood color to green, and when you get hit or attack a
monster it will instead spill green blood rather than the usual red.
Hint: Getting Gold and Silver Pipes:
In the place where you use the dryer to kill off some tentacles,
walk to the water. Make sure you do not fall and press X. Answer the
questions correctly to get it.
Hint: Claudia:
When the intermission sequence between Claudia and Vincent is
finished and Vincent dies, use the necklace on Claudia.
Hint: Stop intermission sequences from resetting (demo version):
Keep rotating the Left Analog-stick.
Glitch: Pause canceling:
Almost all action scenes can be canceled (such as when you are going
up or down from an elevator) with Start. However, there is a point
in the final area where the lift scene can be canceled, but it will
pause the game first. When you press Start again, the game will
resume, but the lift scene will be canceled.
