TABLE OF CONTENTS AT END OF FILE DUE TO POSSIBLE SPOILERS.
THANK YOU. ^___^

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
- Stuff I simply forgot

- If you have additional questions for the Q/A-faq, let me have them.
  This thing lives of feedback.

==========================================
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. ^^



==========================================

   to do is run forward to reach the rails which will save you the time
   for turning around. You might just have to run a little bit to the
   left so as to evade the first dog.

  BULLETS (1x) and FIRST AID KIT (1x). Leave. Just go on straight and through 
  the door. Best unlock the second blue neon door, too and go on till the end of 
  the hallway. Go through that door. Take a SILVER COIN from the desk and use it 
  on the vending machine. Receive the LIFE INSURANCE KEY.

  With this thing in our possession, we head down to F1 once more. Use the LIFE 
  INSURANCE KEY on the locked southeastern door. Go in, turn left and all the 
  way down till you reach the last door to the left. This is surely not the new 
  IKEA program... Read the end of the fairy tale. Head back to the monster. 
  (marked on your map in red monster ink with a monster icon.) Leave this 
  ghastly place.

  Head back home. (Turn left and keep going till you find a side alley on the 
  left. Follow it and you're finally home.) Better use that savepoint. Check 
  your mailbox. Enter your apartment.
  Watch.


BOSS FIGHT: MISSIONARY.

 Go to Heather's Room. Pick up the STUN GUN and STUN GUN BATTERIES (2x). Leave. 
 Longest and coolest video sequence ahead.

SILENT HILL:
__________________________________________
  Note: the notepad on the desk. Save if you need to. The map will tell you how 
  to get to Brookhaven Hospital. Don't forget to visit Heaven's Night Bar. Pick 
  up SHOTGUN SHELLS (1x), BEEF JERKY (1x) and FIRST AID KIT (1x). ^^


__________________________________________
BROOKHAVEN HOSPITAL:
__________________________________________
  Enter the Reception Room. Get the HOSPITAL MAP and a HEALTH DRINK (1x). Save 
  if you want to. Leave. Enter the Doctor's lounge. Get a HEALTH DRINK (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). 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) and STUN GUN BATTERY (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) 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.

  Here is a brief description of the way. 
  
  1st labyrinthian room: 
  straight. right. right. left. straight, left.
  
  2nd labyrinthian room: 
  straight, right, left, turn around, straight.

  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) 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) 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), Save if you need to. Take a 
  trip to the Day Room through the northern door and read the book. Use the

__________________________________________
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. 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 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. 
  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 
  and SHOTGUN SHELLS (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) 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 Snowhite 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) 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) 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 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). 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) 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) 
  HAND GUN AMMO (3x) 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.

BOSS: THE GOD.

 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.

__________________________________________
I.1 BOOKSTORE, erh... PUZZLE
__________________________________________
ITEMS NEEDED:
SHAKESPEARE ANTHOLOGY 1
SHAKESPEARE ANTHOLOGY 3

  Pick up the books.

  First thing: Examine the books.

  Second thing: Where might they have fallen from?


=========================================
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)

  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.

  Those of you that have played through Silent Hill 2 may have a déja vu at this 
  place. Or maybe you are just wondering why the hell they always lock that 
  patient wing door so tightly... Surely it must piss off the nurses to solve a 
  riddle every time they have to go in there to change a bedpan. ^^

  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, thwe 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)

  I'm not sure whether this is considered a riddle, anyway, I imagine it must be 
  more than frustrating getting stuck at 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 the 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.

II.5: CHILDREN'S ROOM TAROT CARD PUZZLE
__________________________________________

  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:

EON     ooo      MOON

HP      ooo      FOOL

ooo      HM       ooo

III.1: BOOKSTORE PUZZLE:
__________________________________________

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:
  http://absoluteshakespeare.com/guides/summaries/shakespeare_summaries.htm

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.

   Ah, thou pityful, thou miserable ones.
                      Othello, too, can't see why though.


   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)

  Now really only four keys remain:
  
  8 3 5 2

  Go for it.

III.2 Brookhaven Hospital F2 Puzzle:
__________________________________________

ITEMS NEEDED:
NONE


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.

ITEMS NEEDED:
NONE

  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.
  
  Or in numbers:
  (9; 2; 7; 1)

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:        Yet to come.




==========================================
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.

==========================================
ENDINGS:
==========================================

EXTREME SPOILERS:


Known to me so far are three endings:

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      : Still eluding my capture...


==========================================
10. EASTER EGGS:
==========================================
Thanks to an anonymous helper who send me those:
Thanks to Manuel, who pointed out the silencer to me.

I'M A DETECTIVE. DETECTIVE? RIGHT.
After clearing the game once, mark the EXTRA NEW GAME option and enter:
UP, UP, DOWN, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT, CIRCLE, X.
Select the desired difficulty levels.
If done successfully, you'll receive a very... interesting sound.
Watch the cutscenes closely from now on. ^___^


DID YOU DROP THIS PIPE?
When in the sewers in the room with the monster and the outlet,
go to the edge of the water and press X. Throw in your steel pipe.
Answer all questions truthfullyand you'll get a nifty extra.


SNAKE? SNAKE! SNAAAKE!!
When you enter the room with the filthy mattress
(fifth floor on the construction site,) in it,
bear right and examine the walls. Equip the mace and find
something really useful... well, useful for MGS fans, anyway. ^^
