You can contact me at anytime using the e-mail address above. I will respond
as quickly as possible. I won't answer any question that is already answered
somewhere in the guide. I will happily accept additional strategies. For instance,
if you can defeat a Boss with an easier method than the one I describe, then send
it to me, and I will gladly update my information, with proper citation, of course.
This is my fourth FAQ. I have written guides for "Kingdom Hearts", "The Legend
of Zelda: The Wind Waker", and a Discoveries FAQ for "Skies of Arcadia Legends".
I am a chemical engineer who lives in Los Angeles, and I am currently working
on my doctorate in chemistry. I am 36 years old. I play video games in my spare
time, which is more than you might think, even though I occasionally work for
48 straight hours. This guide is protected by all existing laws of copyrighting.

IV. Weapons
Knife
Location: you start with it in your inventory
Rating: 1/5
Description: The Knife becomes obsolete after you get the Steel Pipe. You can
use it to conserve ammo, but it deals very little damage. Rely on it only as
a last resort.
Handgun
Location: In the Normal Mall, after the Closer fight.
Rating: 4/5
Description: The Handgun is extremely reliable. There is plenty of ammo available
for it. Use it only against solitary enemies. Effective against Double-Heads.
The Handgun is arguably the most accurate firearm, so it's really good when you
want to cause damage from a distance.
Steel Pipe
Location: Nightmare Mall, in the bar south of the bookstore
Rating: 3/5
Description: A great melee weapon with lots of heft. Useful against Closers and
Numb Bodies. Not recommended for groups of enemies.
Shotgun
Location: Subway Station, inside Train on Platform #2
Rating: 4/5
Description: Lots of power. Extremely effective against groups. It also a good
choice in Boss fights. Ammo is fairly plentiful, but try to conserve as much
as possible. Don't waste shells on Numb Bodies or small enemies like that. Terrific
against Double Heads. The Shotgun isn't a long distance weapon because of its
poor accuracy.
Maul
Location: Underground Passage, where you pick up the Map
Rating: 2/5:
Description: Causes an enormous amount of damage, but it is very heavy and hard
to handle, especially for someone of Heather's physical stature. Avoid using
it unless you're just messing around. This is the equivalent of the Great Knife
in SH2.
Katana
Location: Office building, 5th floor, in Art Gallery
Rating: 5/5
Description: The power of the Maul and the speed of the Knife make the Katana
the game's best melee weapon. Wonderful against all enemies except Double Heads
and Pendulums, both of which are awkward targets.
Stun Gun
Location: Heather's bedroom
Rating: 1/5
Description: Virtually useless. Yes, it is pretty powerful, but you can only
damage enemies that are very close by. This can be an obvious problem, unless
you are an extremely skilled player.
Submachine Gun
Location: Hospital basement
Rating: 5/5
Description: The game's best weapon. Very fast and very powerful. Terrific against
Double Heads, Pendulums, and Bosses. Almost no ammo is available for it, however.
Alternate between it, the Katana, and the Shotgun for the best results.

VII. Walkthrough
================================================================
This walkthrough applies exclusively to the Normal Mode of difficulty.
==========================
Nightmare Amusement Park
==========================
Watch the opening cutscene. Heather walks into the park, not sure of where she
is. You get control of her. In your inventory, you have a HANDGUN, STEEL PIPE,
SUBMACHINE GUN, RADIO, and a FLASHLIGHT, in addition to some healing items. You
can explore this area to your heart's content. There are several large bunny
costumes lying on the ground, and cages with monsters in them. Head toward the
back and enter the doors on the left. The next area has a big hole, and a couple
of enemies. You can enter a store, but there's nothing to find. If you keep going,
you'll see another door, labeled "Mountain Coaster". Inside, you'll fight more
enemies. If you defeat them, you'll encounter more in just a few minutes. If
you die, this segment will end, and the game will continue. Once you reach the
end of the Park, Heather will find the roller coaster. She'll step onto the tracks
and get hit by one of the cars.
============================
Shopping Mall
============================
Heather wakes up in a restaurant. She realizes that it was just a nightmare.
She calls her father on the payphone. Then she encounters a detective named Douglas.
He says that he has something important to tell her about her birth, but she
isn't interested. He keeps following her, and she threatens to scream. He backs
off momentarily while she steps into the bathroom. Check the inventory to find
a KNIFE, a PENDANT, and a HOUSE KEY. The red sign on the mirror is a SAVE POINT.
You'll find these regularly throughout the game. Heather says that she recognizes
the sign from somewhere. Save points will be indicated on your MAP, but you don't
have one yet. Knock on the closed door, and you'll get a response. Heather doesn't
want to go back out and talk to Douglas, so climb through the window. You'll
be in a small alley. The left end is blocked off. Head up toward the right end
and enter the first door you see.
In this next hallway, head right and go through the double doors at the very end.
None of the other doors can be opened. You'll now be surrounded by several shops,
but only one is accessible. Go to the half-closed shutter on the left side and
enter. Heather finds a HANDGUN on the ground. She spots a monster that's chewing
on the face of a human. It notices her, and starts lumbering toward her. She
empties her gun into it, but it doesn't fall. She begins to freak out, but the
creature eventually goes down. Collect the HANDGUN AMMO on the bench, and then
enter the door behind the counter. Avoid the doors on the left, as they lead
back into the previous corridor, which is now home to a pair of Double-Heads.
Across from the elevator, you'll find a bulletin board. Inspect it to find the
MALL MAP. Go through the door that's marked "EXIT". Climb the stairs and enter
the door at the top.
In this corridor, walk forward and turn left to find a Numb Body. Kill it, and
then turn to the right. Run down this hallway trying all the doors. Only two
of them will open. The first one leads to a room with a Double-Head. Ignore
it and grab the BEEF on the crate. From here, continue north and enter the next
room on the right. Get the 2 HEALTH DRINKS and HANDGUN AMMO on the shelf and
then use the SAVE POINT. There is a key in the back of the room that Heather
can't reach. Return to the corridor and go back to where you fought the Numb
Body. Head down the hall on the right and go through the door to the central
area of the Mall.
Run forward and enter Helen's Bakery. Pick up the TONGS and read the brochure
on the counter. Leave. There are 2 Closers up here, but you can dodge them pretty
easily. Go back to the Save Room and use the TONGS to pull out the BOOKSTORE
KEY. Exit the room and you'll find a trio of Numb Bodies. Kill them, and then
return to the central area of the Mall. Avoid the Closers and enter the bookstore,
which is called "My Bestsellers". Grab the HANDGUN AMMO behind the counter, and
then pick up the five SHAKESPEARE ANTHOLOGIES lying on the floor. Use any one
of them while standing near the shelf to trigger your first puzzle. Check the
Puzzle Guide to get the solution. Once you have the code, type into the keypad
next to the door that says "Employees Only". Enter. Heather will meet a strange
woman named Claudia. Claudia mentions that the monsters are here to witness a
new beginning, the rebirth of paradise. Heather will play a role in that somehow,
perhaps she'll be the one to lead them to paradise with bloodstained hands. After
this creepy proclamation, Heather asks Claudia if she is responsible for what's
been going on. Suddenly, Heather falls to her knees, apparently suffering from
some sort of headache. You hear a shrill noise that sounds a baby's crying.
Claudia walks away, and Heather recovers from he mysterious migraine. Head forward
and then right until you reach the elevator. Enter. Once it stops, a RADIO will
fall from the ceiling. As it did in SH2, the RADIO will alert you to the presence
of monsters by emitting static. Exit the elevator.
================================
Nightmare Mall
================================
You'll step onto another elevator. A light flashes on, and Heather sees a monster
on the other side of the elevator cage. As the elevator moves down, Heather wonders
how she got into this mess, and if what she's experiencing is just another bad
dream. In the next hallway, you'll find three Double-Heads. Run forward, and
then right, entering the door you see straight ahead. Collect the 3 HEALTH DRINKS
and the AMPOULE. Use the SAVE POINT and exit. Head north up the hall and go
through the door.
You'll encounter 3 Closers in this corridor. Avoid them because it takes a lot
of ammo to put them down. Turn right and head down the hallway you see on the
left. Enter the door right next to the Women's Bathroom. Pick up the FLASHLIGHT,
HANDGUN AMMO, and the FIRST AID KIT. Exit and enter the Women's Bathroom. This
is where your journey officially began. Pick up the BLEACH and knock on the door
for a scare. As you go to leave, the door you knocked on will open. Inspect
the stall to find nothing but blood. Back in the hallway, head left and go through
the damaged shutter at the very end. You'll be back in the small shopping section
of the mall. Dodge the Double-Head and Closer, then enter the Clothing Boutique
on the left wall. Grab the HANGER, then exit. Go back to the hallway with the
3 Closers. Run forward, past the Women's Bathroom, turn left, run forward again,
and then turn right. Go through the last door on the right wall. Stand between
the two tables to see a ladder dangling from the hole in the ceiling. Use the
HANGER to pull it down, and then climb up.
Go up the nearby escalator. Across from the escalator is a locked door with a
moon symbol on it. Avoid the Closer and the Double-Head in this hallway. From
the escalator, enter the first door on your right. On the table is a barbecued
dog. Examine it to find the COOKED KEY. Behind the counter is a FIRST AID KIT
and a HEALTH DRINK. Exit the room and go back down the escalator. You'll hear
some static, but it isn't coming from your RADIO. It's coming from the television.
Examine the TV to see a snowy video of a little girl. She says "Daddy". Head
down the hall on the right and use the SAVE POINT on the second TV. Enter the
double doors next to the SAVE POINT. This is the jewelry store. Pick up the
WALNUT from the case on the left, and then enter the door in the back. You'll
be in the hallway where you met Claudia. Beware of the Closer that's lurking
about, and unlock the eastern most door with the COOKED KEY.
Note: Instead of the jewelry store, you can enter a clothing store by going through
a door near the first TV set (where you saw the image of the little girl). You'll
have to kill Numb Bodies in here. The back exit to this store will also lead
to the hallway where you met Claudia.
Pick up the pair of HEALTH DRINKS and the STEEL PIPE. Use it on Closers and Numb
Bodies to conserve ammo. Go through the double doors. You'll be in the central
area of the Mall. Beat down the Numb Bodies and go to the Bakery. Collect the
DETERGENT near the sink and exit through the back door. Head right down the next
hallway, and examine the switch to turn off the fan. Head through the door near
the switch (the door on your left side). Heather will see a thick cloud of bugs.
You have to find a way to kill them in order to proceed. Turn around and approach
the door you just entered from. To the right, you'll spot an empty garbage bin.
Stand near it and Combine the DETERGENT with the BLEACH, and then Use the noxious
compound. Heather will leave the room. Flip the fan back on and re-enter the
room. The bugs will be dead. Run past them and keep going until you can open
a door on the right side of the hall. Get the 3 boxes of HANDGUN AMMO and the
BEEF JERKY. Exit. Continue past this door and go right at the intersection.
Open the first door on the left. Kill the Closer with the STEEL PIPE, and then
enter the double doors. In here, you'll meet the Pendulum, a flying enemy that
causes substantial damage. There are also a few Double-Heads. From your starting
position, head left, and then right. Go through the double doors. Locate the
vise and use it to crack the WALNUT. You'll find a MOONSTONE. There's a SAVE
POINT here, as well. Leave the room, and go right, unlocking the door at the
end of the walkway.
Back in the central area, head back to the room where you found the STEEL PIPE.
Kill the Numb Bodies, and go through the door to get back to the hallway where
you met Claudia. Dodge the Closer, and enter the door that leads to the jewelry
store. Exit and use the SAVE POINT on the television. Go up the escalator, and
unlock the moon door with the MOONSTONE. Circle the pit and climb down the ladder
to fight the very first Boss.
Boss: Splitworm
Difficulty: Easy
When you reach the bottom of the pit, the ladder breaks, and Heather finds herself
trapped. Then, a large purple snake appears and the battle begins. There are
six holes, divided into groups of three on either side of the room. The Splitworm
can emerge randomly form any of these holes. When it comes out, it will open
its mouth and scream. It will either cross the room or retreat. If it retreats,
then it will resurface on the same side of the room. It has two attacks. First,
it will send a tremor through the ground. This causes no damage, but it stuns
you for a few seconds. Secondly, the head will move forward and bite you. This
will knock your health down into the red almost instantly. When the Splitworm
comes out of a hole, stand directly across from it, with your back against the
wall. Aim the HANDGUN with R2 and fire 3 bullets into its open mouth. Then,
run to one of the far corners and wait for it to go away. Use L2 to swivel the
camera around, so that you can keep a constant eye on the Splitworm's movements.
It dies after 14 bullets.
===================================
Shopping Mall
===================================
Once the Splitworm has been defeated, everything returns to normal. You're in
the central area of the first floor. Head right through the partly closed shutter.
Head down this hallway and enter the last door on the right. This is the Happy
Burger. Collect the 3 boxes of HANDGUN AMMO, BEEF JERKY, and a FIRST AID KIT.
Be sure to use the SAVE POINT, as well. Exit the Happy Burger and go through
the door on your immediate right to leave the Mall.
Douglas is waiting outside. He shares Heather's confusion. She thinks he is
somehow responsible for the bizarre occurrences. He says that Claudia hired him
to find her, but swears that he doesn't know anything. Heather feels that she
has to remember something about herself, but she can't quite think of it. She
decides to take the subway home and leave Douglas to his own devices.
=================================
Hazel Street Subway Station
=================================
Follow the corridor to an intersection and go right. Head through the door, and
then go left to pass through the gates. On the other side, turn the right corner
to find the SUBWAY MAP. Some FAQs say that there are 2 boxes of HANDGUN AMMO
in the trashcan between the bathrooms, but I haven't been able to find them.
Maybe it's a glitch. From this trashcan, go forward and you'll see two sets of
stairs. Go down the one on the right. From here, head left and go down the stairs.
You'll find an occult magazine lying on the ground. Read it to obtain some
information about ghosts. Turn to your left and you'll spot two sets of stairs.
Take either of them. Collect the HEALTH DRINK and then go back up to the top
floor, where the aforementioned trashcan is located. This time, go down the stairs
near the trashcan. At the bottom, circle around behind the stairs and cross the
room. You will see a row of payphones. One of them will ring. However, when
Heather inspects them, she finds that they are broken. Go through the door to
the left of the payphones. Use the SAVE POINT on the right wall and exit back
through the door. Head back to the stairs that brought you here. Go left and
head down the stairs to Platform 1. You will find Double-Heads here. You can
avoid them with little effort in this wide room. Run around until you find the
two sets of stairs leading down. They both take you to dead ends. At one of
the dead ends, you will find a NUTCRACKER. The other dead end has 2 HEALTH DRINKS
and HANDGUN AMMO. Go back to the previous room and head to the stairs that lead
to Platform 2. Use the NUTCRACKER to remove the chain, and then go down the stairs.
Enter the train and pick up the SHOTGUN and the two boxes of SHOTGUN SHELLS.
Once you leave the train, you'll encounter a new enemy lying at the base of the
stairs. It's called an Insane Cancer. You don't have to kill it, but if you
choose to do so, use your new weapon. You can simply dodge the creature, since
it's so slow. Don't go up the stairs you used to get here. Instead, go behind
that set to find another set, leading down. Head down this hallway until you
find the stairs to Platform 3 (Bergen Street) on your right. At the bottom of
the stairs, you can turn right and unlock the gate. This takes you onto Platform
1. You can go there and kill the Double-Heads if you want. Now go to the end
of the Platform 3 and the camera will focus on a door next to the tracks with
a red light above it. Hop down onto the tracks and approach the door. You'll
hear a train coming. Quickly run back to the platform and pull yourself to safety.
A cutscene plays, and you'll notice that the train barely misses Heather. Once
the train has stopped, a door will open. Pass through the gate that leads to
Platform 1, and go straight up the stairs on your right. At the top, you'll see
another set of stairs that lead down. Take them and board the subway.
=====================================
Subway
=====================================
You have to cross through 10 cars as you move toward the front of the train.
Use the STEEL PIPE to kill the Numb Bodies and the SHOTGUN to take care of the
Insane Cancer. Keep your eyes peeled for a FIRST AID KIT and some SHOTGUN SHELLS.
Once you reach the front, the train will stop, and you'll have to get off.
================================
Platform (Unknown Station)
===============================
Right across from the train doors is a SAVE POINT. Once you've used it, head
left and enter the door at the end of the platform. Go down the stairs. At the
bottom, go right down the long corridor and enter the door. Avoid the Pendulums
and Numb Bodies if possible. If you can't avoid them, then use the SHOTGUN.
Turn left, and take the first door on the right. Kill the Numb Bodies in this
hallway and enter the door on your right. Take out the Numb Bodies here, as well.
Once they're gone, turn left and enter the door at the end of the hallway. Collect
the MAUL and the UNDERPASS MAP. Go through the door directly opposite of the
one you entered from. Go down this hallway and kill the large Numb Body. Continue
going straight and enter the first door on your right. Get the WINE BOTTLE, HANDGUN
AMMO, and BEEF JERKY. Leave the room and exit into the previous hallway. Continue
going straight and turn right to find a dead end. Get the SHOTGUN SHELLS.
Go down the hallway you haven't explored yet. Go though the door at the end.
Head north though this hallway. You'll encounter three Pendulums. Try to avoid
them at all costs, and pray that they don't gang up on you. Enter the first door
on the left. Run up this long narrow corridor and go through the door. When
you exit, turn right, and then go right again at the intersection. Enter the
large door. Kill the Numb Bodies and then check your map to see that there are
two rooms here. Go into the southern one. Collect 2 HEALTH DRINKS and a box of
SHOTGUN SHELLS, and then use the SAVE POINT. To the right of the save point is
a tank filled with KEROSENE. Put some in your WINE BOTTLE and leave. Now go
to the other room and fill the fuel tank up with KEROSENE. Flip the nearby switch
and head down the ladder.
=======================
Sewers
========================
Head left up two flights of stairs and enter the door. Head down this corridor
and across the metal bridge. Continue down the stairs and go through the door.
Head all the way to the right and kill the Numb Body. Go through the door and
up the stairs. Head across another metal bridge to find a room with an AMPOULE
and a DRYER. Return to the sewers, and go through the door opposite the one you
just went through. Read the MEMO on the desk, and collect the HEALTH DRINK.
Save if you feel like it, and then leave by way of the metal door across from
the one you entered from. In this room, find the outlet on the wall and plug
in the DRYER. The water monster will be electrocuted. Cross the bridge once
you're finished and go through the door. DO NOT CROSS THE BRIDGE BEFORE YOU PLUG
IN THE DRYER, OR ELSE THE CREATURE WILL KILLYOU. The next section might be a
little confusing, but there is only one path. Head left from the door and you
will be guided in the right direction by the locked gates. You will run into
a pair of Pendulums, so avoid them at all costs. Go through the door on the other
side. Go north down this corridor and go through the next door. The left hallway
is a dead end. Go up the stairs and climb the ladder.
=============================
Construction Site
=============================
Walk around the building and you will see a SAVE POINT on a drum. Use it and
then enter the nearby double doors. Run down the hallway and pick up the 2 HEALTH
DRINKS on the left. Then enter the only door that you can. It leads to the stairs.
Go to the 5th floor. If you stop at the small bathroom, you will hear some
thumping, apparently from somewhere up above. Run down to the last door on the
right. In this room, you will find HANDGUN AMMO and a HEALTH DRINK. Push the
mattress into the hole. Examine the wall across from the mattress. Use the STEEL
PIPE or the MAUL to smash through it and collect the SILENCER. Jump into the
hole. Exit the lower room by way of the hole in the wall in front of you. On
the balcony, run left and avoid the Pendulums, as they will probably knock you
off. You'll notice an open window. Climb through it.
====================================
Office Building
=====================================
Exit the small office you start off in. Go to the end of the hall and enter the
door. This room is full of mannequins. Collect the HANDGUN AMMO and SHOTGUN
SHELLS from the back shelf, and then examine all of the mannequins for a quick
scare. Leave the room. Walk forward and turn left, and then enter the first door
on the right. There are Double-Heads here. Go straight and enter the door to
the Dance Studio. On your left is a room that has nothing but monsters. Go through
the door across from you. Get the MAP and use the SAVE POINT. Exit and head
south, entering another door. This room has a FIRST AID KIT and an AMPOULE sitting
in a locker. Leave and then exit the Dance Studio. Back in the room with the
Double-Heads, head up the short hall and go right. Look for the door with "Exit"
written above it in red lettering. This leads to a stairwell. Enter and climb
to the 5th floor. Use the map to find the Art Gallery (listed as GALLERY OF FINE
ARTS). Inside, you'll notice that a painting is missing. It has something to
do with fire. Go through the back door. Get the SCREWDRIVER on the cardboard
box. Near the back of this corridor is a small room that contains the KATANA.
Leave the Gallery, and enter the door across the hall. Go left down the hall,
slaying the numb Bodies with your sword. Head right and go through the first
door on the left. Collect the JACK and HEALTH DRINK in this room. Return to
the Dance Studio on the 3rd floor and enter the room with the SAVE POINT. Check
the desk next to the SAVE POINT to find a rusted drawer. Pry it open with the
SCREWDRIVER to get the ROPE. Leave the Dance Studio and head up the short hall.
Turn right and look for the elevator on the left. It is partially open. Use
the JACK to open it even more. Then, use the ROPE to climb down the shaft.
There's a SAVE POINT on the vending machine to your left. Turn around and run
down the hall, turning right at the intersection. Go straight and enter the door
that says "ECHO Interiors". Pick up the BEEF JERKY and proceed north through
the next couple of rooms. Eventually, you'll reach a room with a single bathtub.
Inspect it to trigger a disturbing cutscene.
===================================
Nightmare Office Building
===================================
When Heather regains consciousness, head south and go through the door. Collect
the HANDGUN AMMO in the wheelchair, and enter the only other door. Once you
exit, turn left and go through the door that you are facing. Grab the PHOTO on
the couch. It's a picture of Heather, with the words "Find the Holy One, kill
her" written on the back. Use the SAVE POINT on the wall if you want. Go through
the unlocked door. Inside, you'll meet a man who says he is on your side. He
ecstatically proclaims that Claudia is crazy, and that she was brainwashed by
Heather's mother. He is surprised that Harry, Heather's father, never told her
any of this. Heather walks out. In the next room, grab the OXYDOL, HEALTH DRINK,
and 2 FIRST AID KITS from the shelves. Read the chemistry book on the desk if
you want to. Exit the Clinic the same way you came in, going back through the
room where you found the PHOTO. Walk forward and head right. You'll encounter
a Slurper, and some Double-Heads. Kill them all (preferably with the SHOTGUN)
and head left, entering the elevator on the right. Go down to the first floor.
The front doors are blocked by some kind of monster. You can't kill it, so don't
waste your time. Go left, and then turn left at the intersection. Enter the
door on the left. Grab the SHOTGUN SHELLS and kill the Insane Cancer that's guarding
them. Check the fridge for PORK LIVER. Return to the elevator and go up to the
5th floor.
Go left and then right. Enter the door. Go left and then right at the intersection.
The door on the left has a Slurper trapped behind some bars, so enter the other
door. Get the 2 boxes of HANDGUN AMMO and the MATCHBOOK. Exit. Kill the Slurpers
in the hallway. Run north until you hit a glass screen. Go through the door
on the left. Enter the Gallery and use the SAVE POINT if necessary. The painting
that was missing before has been restored. "Flame purifies all", so you have
to build a fire. Combine the PORK LIVER with the OXYDOL and the MATCHBOOK in
order to do so. Climb through the hatch that's revealed. Go down the stairs
and read the papers on the table. They are from a fairy tale of some sort. Go
through the door. There are Slurpers in this hallway. Use the Map to find the
southeastern room. Go there and collect the FIRST AID KIT and HANDGUN AMMO from
the bed. More Slurpers are waiting for you under the bed. Exit. Back outside,
go straight ahead to the next door to find a new hallway. Watch out for the Slurpers
and the Double-Head, and enter the last room in this hallway. Grab the SILVER
COIN from the desk, and place it into the vending machine. You'll find the INSURANCE
KEY. Exit the room and return to the hallway before this one.
Go north up the hall and unlock the door on the left wall. You'll find an elevator.
Go to the first floor. Go left, and then right at the intersection. Use the
INSURANCE KEY to open the door. Head left and follow the corridor to the end.
Enter the door on the left. You'll find the last part of the fairy tale you
read earlier. Heather will chant some words aloud. The monsters have vanished.
Go back to where the large monster was earlier and read the first part of the
fairy tale. Then you can leave, finally.
============================
Outside/Apartment
============================
Once you're outside, head left down the street and look for an alley on the left.
Head down the alley and then enter the door on the left. Run down the hall and
use the SAVE POINT on the right. From there, continue the hall and use the HOUSE
KEY to unlock the first door on the left. Harry has been murdered. There is
a trail of blood leading to the roof. Go there to confront Claudia. She says
that she took revenge on Harry for what he did 17 years ago. Heather points her
gun at Claudia. However, Claudia points out that she didn't kill Harry. A monster
did. Then, she leaves for Silent Hill.
Boss: Missionary
Difficulty: Medium
The Missionary can deflect your bullets with its big razor claws. This can make
the battle unnecessarily difficult. You might be tempted to use the SHOTGUN,
but you can deplete lots of shells very quickly. Why? Because none of the shots
will count unless the hit the Boss in either the back or the sides. Accuracy
and concentration are required to do this properly, but there is an easier way.
Take out the KATANA. Keep an eye on the Missionary. When he runs up to you,
press Up on the D-Pad and R2. You should perform a forward thrust. This stuns
and damages the Boss, and causes him to run away. Follow him and wait until he
gets ready to attack again. When he falls down, don't think you've won. He will
get back up. Plus, he has a running slash maneuver that's quite dangerous. Once
he has fallen down for the fourth time, kick him to finish him off permanently.
Back in the apartment, Heather meets Douglas. He doesn't really know what to
say, but he offers his condolences. She accuses him of everything, and he accepts
partial responsibility. Douglas helps Heather carry Harry into the bedroom, where
they cover him with a sheet. Heather says she is going to Silent Hill, and Douglas
says that he will drive her there. Exit through the door and enter the one on
the other side of the living room. This is Heather's bedroom. Get the STUN GUN
and the two STUN GUN BATTERIES. Then leave the apartment. Exit the building
by going through the door near the SAVE POINT.
The next cutscene takes place in Douglas' car. A lot of information is revealed
as Heather remembers her past. The events she talks about involve Silent Hill,
Dahlia Gillespie, and her daughter Alessa. You'll know most of it if you played
the first `Silent Hill'. I want you to hear it for yourself, so I won't provide
a summary. In any sense, you end up in a Motel. Douglas leaves to visit some
guy named Leonard, and he tells you to explore Brookhaven Hospital. Use the SAVE
POINT in the room, and then exit.
======================
Silent Hill
======================
It's extremely foggy outside. Use the Map and make your way from Jack's Inn (your
current position) to the Heaven's Night Bar for a FIRST AID KIT, SHOTGUN SHELLS,
BEEF JERKY, and a pamphlet about Silent Hill. Exit the bar and head to the Hospital.
If you check you inventory, you'll find the notebook that Harry left behind.
It's a very interesting read.
======================
Brookhaven Hospital
======================
Kill the two Nurses in the hallway. Use the KATANA. Go through the door across
from the entrance. Collect the HOSPITAL MAP and a HEALTH DRINK. Use the SAVE
POINT and then exit. Enter the Doctor's Lounge. Check the fridge for a HEALTH
DRINK. Read the medical notes on the table to learn about two patients: Leonard
and Stanley Coleman. Their rooms are S14 and S07, respectively. Exit the Lounge
and head to the Visiting Room. You'll find a part of Coleman's diary, addressed
to Heather. She is disgusted by it, and refuses to pick up the doll he left for
her. Leave this room and go to the elevator. Take it up to the 2nd floor. Head
to the Women's Locker Room, reading another letter from Coleman on the way. In
the Locker room, take the NAIL POLISH REMOVER and the PERFUME. Exit, and head
to the door that leads to the patient wing. It's locked, and requires a combination.
Since this is Normal Mode, enter 8634. Kill the Nurses. Be careful, though,
because one of them has a gun. Enter Examination Room 3. There is a man lying
on a gurney. Inspect his body to find a tattoo, and then read the papers in the
back to learn that the doctors know nothing about him. His stuff is in Room M4.
Head there. As you walk past the bed, and alarm starts ringing. Examine the
clock and note the time that's displayed. In my game, it was 11:51, but it's
random. You can then turn off the annoying alarm. On the bed is an attache case.
To unlock it, you need a four-digit code. If the time was something like 12:34,
then you can enter 1-2-3-4. Sometimes, you might have to enter the code in military
time. So, 10:52 would be 22:52 and 11:37 would 23:37. If it was something like
5:23, then you would have to enter 0-5-2-3. Once the case has been opened, you'll
get an INSTANT CAMERA. In Room M5, you'll find some Nurses, as well as a FIRST
AID KIT. Leave, and return to the elevator. Go back down to the first floor.
Enter the patient wing here. Dodge the Nurses if possible and duck into Room
C4. Use the NAIL POLISH REMOVER to get the STAIRWELL KEY. Unlock the door to
the Stairwell. Go down to the Basement to find an SMG CLIP. Head past the wheelchair
and pick up the SUBMACHINE GUN! Enter the Storeroom near the wheelchair. There's
blood on the wall and a suspicious space behind the shelf. Use the INSTANT CAMERA,
and you will have a picture that shows a code. Exit the Basement and head to
the Roof. Avoid the Closer and collect two more SMG CLIPS on a metal drum across
from the door. Now, go back down the stairs to the 3rd floor. Go to the Special
Treatment Room. The leftmost cell has another page from Coleman's diary. Read
the memo on the wall to find out what just what this room was used for. In the
Storeroom, you'll find a SAVE POINT, 2 HEALTH DRINKS, and a STUN GUN BATTERY.
Head to the patient wing. Punch in the code you got from the photograph you took
in the Basement. Enter S1 and collect 2 HEALTH DRINKS. You should read the magazine
on the bed. Grab the BEEF JERKY in the hallway. S7 is Coleman's room. You'll
find the last entry of Coleman's diary, along with another doll. IN S12, you'll
hear the phone ring. Answer to speak with Leonard Wolf, Claudia's father. At
first, he thinks that you are Claudia, but Heather sets him straight. She says
that she wants to kill Claudia. Leonard asks you to help him out, and then asks
you to meet him at the end of the patient wing on the 2nd floor. Go there.
A new door has appeared at the very end of the hall. Enter it. You'll be in
a labyrinth-like corridor. It's pretty straightforward, but here are the
directions anyway.
1st corridor: straight, right, right, left, straight, left
2nd corridor: straight, right, left, turn around when the gate closes and go
straight
Go straight in the next corridor and watch as all the gates close behind you.
Examine the red mark on the wall to see a video of a little girl and the voice
of a nurse named Lisa. Climb the ladder. You'll see Valtiel turning some valves.
==============================
Nightmare Hospital
==============================
Once you reach the top of the ladder, you'll find yourself in a weird hallway,
full of cool blurry effects. Enter Room S3. Grab the 2 boxes of HANDGUN AMMO
and use the SAVE POINT. Exit and pass through the Day Room. How head to the
Storeroom for a really effective scare. Leave and go the elevator. Make sure
you watch out for the Slurpers in the hallway. Go to the second floor. In the
Men's Locker Room, you'll hear a phone ringing. Once you find it, a strange man
will sing Happy Birthday to you. Afterwards, he says some weird things. Go across
the hall to the Women's Locker Room. Get the PLASTIC BAG and HEALTH DRINK. In
the back, there's a locker with some sort of creature inside. Return to the 3rd
floor. Go to Examining Room 4 to find a body hanging from the ceiling. Fill
the PLASTIC BAG up with BLOOD. Enter the elevator and go to B3. Here, you'll
have to solve the Crematorium puzzle (check the Puzzle Guide). Once you do, you'll
receive the CREMATED KEY. Go to the first floor. Enter the Examination Room
and collect an AMPOULE. There is a SAVE POINT here, as well. Go through the
northern door of the Day Room and read the book on the ground. It contains the
scribbling and ranting of a madman. Use the CREMATED KEY on the Day Room's eastern
entrance. Head down the narrow path and kill the Nurse. Once you're out of the
Day Room, enter room C1. Pick up the 2 HEALTH DRINKS and look at the birthday
card. There are also some Nurses in here, as well. Avoid them or use the SHITGUN
to dispose of them quickly. Head down to C4. Use the SAVE POINT. Examine the
book if you want, and then pour the BLOOD out of the PLASTIC BAG and onto the
altar. A ladder will appear. Climb down.
A conversation ensues between you and Leonard. He says that he is the "protector
of the seal" and calls you a heretic. Then he emerges from the filthy water,
and you realize that he is not human.
Boss: Leonard
Difficulty: Very Easy
A refreshingly easy Boss battle. Leonard will swim around for a little bit before
popping up somewhere nearby. When he stands up, blast him with either the SHOTGUN
or the SMG. Keep firing at him until he dies.
Once he's gone, Heather will pick up a TALISMAN. Everything has returned to normal.
Exit the hospital.
=======================
Silent Hill
=======================
A cutscene plays as soon as you leave the hospital. Claudia and Vincent are having
an argument. Go back your Motel Room (106) and you will meet Vincent. He tells
you that Douglas said to go to the other side of the lake. He suggests that you
travel through the Amusement Park. Save, and then exit. Get onto Nathan Avenue
and follow it to the northwest. Eventually, you'll end up in the Lakeside Amusement
Park.
===========================
Amusement Park
===========================
Once she enters, Heather will have another headache. Once she gets back to her
feet, she realizes that everything has changed. She dreamt about this place at
the very beginning of the game. Head straight and enter the door in the back,
on the left. In the next area, head right, past the Closers and into the Souvenir
Shop. Collect the AMPOULE, 2 boxes of HANDGUN AMMO, and BEEF JERKY. Some boxes
will fall. get the ROLLER COASTER KEY and use the SAVE POINT. Now leave. Continue
to the right, ignoring the enemies, and enter the last door you come to. The
camera angle will change to bring into focus. Go left and avoid the Pendulums.
Run up the stairs and use the ROLLER COASTER KEY to enter the control booth.
Turn off the power, and then grab the two HEALTH DRINKS. Exit and start following
the tracks. The ride will mysteriously re-activate. Heather jumps off before
the cars slam into her. Watch the cutscene. Douglas confronts Claudia, and pulls
his gun on her. Heather wakes up on the roof of the ticket booth. When you regain
control of her, go through the nearby door.
Once you're inside, use the SAVE POINT that's on the ticket booth. Then enter
the Haunted House. In the first room, a man will tell you about the house. In
the next room, there's a table that's covered in blood. The man tells you that
a family was murdered here, and then he admits that he's lying. All that happened
was a suicide. Go through the next door. There's an old man sitting in a chair
behind the desk. Go around him and a body will fall from the ceiling. The man
will tell you about the body. Turn around and enter the blue door. When the
camera focuses on the ceiling, hold R2 and walk forward to avoid the spikes.
Enter the door indicated by the exit sign.
Now you have to run down a hallway. Don't stop moving, because you are being
chased by a red mist that can kill you almost instantly. Don't try to enter the
first door you see. Instead, go further ahead and enter the door with the steps
in front of it. You'll have to do the same thing in the next hallway. Survive
this one and you will officially exit the Haunted House.
Dodge the Closers and run towards the green fence. Look for a passageway in the
left. In the next area, there's a Closer and a Double-Head. Go through the gate
on the left. Cross the next area and enter the gate. You'll now be in some
kind of stage area. Grab the HEALTH DRINK and SHOTGUN SHELLS from the bench on
your left. Then collect the CHAIN and the RED SHOE, which sits in the middle
of the stage. Exit this area, and then exit through the gate in the next area
(where the Pendulums are). Go straight to find the Swing Rocket carousel. Go
up to the central platform and attach the CHAIN to the pipe sticking out of the
column. Now, go over to the rusted green gate and attach the other end of the
CHAIN. It is still in your inventory. Once the CHAIN is connected, enter the
control booth and turn the power on. The gate will be pulled open. Get the HANDGUN
AMMO and go through the gate.
Douglas is hurt. After some small talk, he points his gun at Heather and says
it would be better if he'd kill her right now. She doesn't deny it, but Douglas
chickens out. Go through the gate and head right into the Fortune House. Pick
up DOUGLAS'S NOTEBOOK on the right, and then collect the DOLL HEAD from the table.
Use the SAVE POINT. Exit and enter the nearby building. You'll find a fairytale
setting. Place the DOLL HEAD on Snow White and the RED SHOE on Cinderella. Enter
the left door. You'll be in a room with a dragon. Enter the left door. Watch
out for Double-Heads and Pendulums. Go right to the ice cream wagon and read
the memo from Harry. Go left to the ticket booth, and then go left from there
and enter the gate. Collect the FIRST AID KIT on your left and then hop on the
carousel. It starts to rotate, and the horses come to life. Equip the KATANA.
Walk around and slash all of the horses until they stop moving. Avoid their
breath. Once all of the horses have stopped, you'll fight the next Boss.
Boss: Memory of Alessa
Difficulty: Medium
Hey, it's you. Alright..maybe not. There are four stages to this fight. The
Boss starts off with a Knife. Slash at her with the KATANA right when she begins
her attack. If done correctly, you'll be the only one who inflicts damage. She
can block your blows, so don't swipe at her repeatedly. It's a waste of time.
When she runs away, chase after her, getting in hits when you can. Once she
goes down, she reappears with a Handgun. She might start firing initially, but
she'll stop shooting when you attack her with the KATANA. She'll use the Handgun
the same way she used the Knife. For the third stage, she'll have a Steel Pipe
(same as Knife), and for the last phase, she'll have a Submachine Gun (same as
the Handgun). When she goes down for the fourth time, it's over for good. There
is a slightly quicker method than the one described above. During the Knife and
Steel Pipe phases, you can shoot the Boss with the SHOTGUN. It won't block the
bullets, and it will go down in half the time it takes to stab it with the KATANA.
Get off the carousel. Run down the corridor and go through the door at the end.
Run down the hallway and read the prayer on the wall. Enter the next door.
Watch the cutscene. Afterwards, get the EYE OF NIGHT TAROT CARD and then use
the SAVE POINT. Go through the door on the right. Enter the confession booth.
You'll have to make a rather important decision: forgive Claudia or say nothing.
This influences the ending that you'll receive. Take the MAP from the wall.
Go down the hall and enter the door on your left. Avoid the Closer and take the
other door. Try to avoid the Insane Cancer and go through the northernmost door.
Proceed down the hall until you hear crying and footsteps. Head past the
wheelchair and go through the door. Use the enormous SAVE POINT on the floor.
Examine the paintings. One of them says St. Alessa. Go back to the previous
hallway. Look at the wheelchair, then enter the door that's hidden behind the
painting.
Head down the hallway and go through the door at the end. On the ledge, you'll
encounter the Scraper, which looks like the Missionary. Go through the very last
door. You'll be in the Library. Read the tarot book, and then pick up the MOON
CARD from the desk. Vincent enters. It seems you are both against Claudia.
He gives you a book called the Otherworld Laws. Exit the Library and head to
the elevator. You'll automatically head down one floor. Enter the door on your
right. Head straight and go through the door. Get the HANGED MAN CARD and collect
the SHOTGUN SHELLS. Go back into the hallway and head right. Enter the door
at the end of the hall. This is Harry's room. Grab the STUN GUN BATTERIES and
read the diary on the bed. Exit and watch out for the two Scrapers. Go back
to where the elevator is. Enter the second-to-last door. Watch out for the Pendulum
and the Scraper. Enter the very last door. Go to the end of hall and turn left.
Go through the door there. You'll be in a Child's Room. Examine the sketchbook
on the bed and the notepad on the desk. Grab the BRASS KEY from the wall. Use
the SAVE POINT. Exit. From the Child's Room, head north and turn right. Take
the first door on the right. Run past the Closers and go through the next door.
Halfway down this hall, you'll hear the crying child again. Look at the floor
to find more footsteps. They end at the wall. Go through the hidden door. This
is the room Alessa was locked in. Examine the book to find the FOOL CARD. Collect
the AMPOULE and the HANDGUN AMMO. Go back to the first hallway where you saw
the Insane Cancers (you`ll have to take the elevator back up). Enter the
southernmost door. Get the CASSETTE TAPE and the 2 boxes of HANDGUN AMMO. Head
back to the area with the confession booth and open the locked door with the BRASS
KEY. Enter the first door on your left. You'll be in a Classroom. Check the
desk in the center, and then read the letter from K. Gordon. Leave and then go
through the next door on your right. Pop the TAPE into the cassette deck. Read
the letters on the desk to learn something about Vincent. Leave. DO NOT go into
the room that you are now facing. It is filled with Scrapers, and you need to
conserve ammo. Head down the hall and take the last door on the right. Get
the HIGH PRIESTESS CARD and read Claudia's diary. Return to the Child's Room
and solve the Tarot Card Puzzle. Save your game and open the door. Run down
the hallway and enter the door at the end. Watch the cutscene. A lot happens
here, so I want you to experience it for yourself. Anyway, once you regain control
of Heather, select the PENDANT from your inventory and Use it. Heather will swallow
something and puke up a fetus. Once Claudia ingests the infant God, walk up to
the hole she disappeared into. Heather will jump down. Now you can confront
the final Boss.
Boss: God
Difficulty: Hard
When I first fought this thing, I didn't really know how to defeat it. I tried
a lot of different things, but I always ended up dying. I quit for one full day,
and wasn't sure if I would ever go back. But I did, and I discovered this strategy.
There are actually two of them, depending on whether or not you want the unlimited
SMG. The basic premise of this battle is as follows. The God begins in an upright
position. Take out your HANDGUN and fire a couple of bullets at it. It will
bend down, giving you a clear shot of its head. Stand as far back as possible
and start firing. Continue firing until the God returns to its upright position.
As it stands back up, it will release some fire into the room. Run around and
try to avoid it. Its path is unpredictable, so you might not be able to escape
damage every time. But, don't worry. Use any HEALTH DRINKS you have to restore
HP. After that, go to FIRST AID KITS. You should have more than 10 if you haven't
used any up to this point. Save your AMPOULES. When the God has bent over, stay
away from the head and arms. Keep unloading ammo into the God until it dies.
You shouldn't have that much trouble, as long as you keep your distance. However,
things get a tad more difficult if you're trying to get the unlimited SMG. Shoot
the God a couple of times with the HANDGUN while it's standing upright. When
it bends over, shoot the head until the fire is released, and the God stands back
up. Do this twice more. When the God bends over for the fourth time, start hitting
it with the MAUL. The arm will swing at you, but don't stop attacking. You can
take three hits from the arm before your health drops to red status. When that
happens, use an AMPOULE. You should have at least 5. Continue this routine,
and you should be able to kill the God with the MAUL before you reach your last
AMPOULE. That way, you'll be able to get the unlimited SMG.
Congratulations, you have just completed one of the scariest games ever! Watch
the ending and the credits, then save your result file.

IX. Endings
There are three endings to "Silent Hill 3".
======================
Normal
======================
This is the default ending for the first play through.
Description: Once the final boss goes down, Heather kicks it a couple of times,
and cries for her father. Afterwards, she returns to the Amusement Park. Douglas
is sitting on a bench. Heather pulls a knife on him, and then reveals that she's
joking. Douglas calls her by her real name: Cheryl. Let's see: her name is Cheryl,
and her dad's name is Harry. That goes back to the very first "Silent Hill".
=======================
======================
Possession
======================
This is a tricky ending. I believe that there are several different methods you
can use to obtain it, but they are all based on points. You have to accumulate
at least 4000 points by the time you fight the final boss. By my count, I had
4250 points. You'll have to keep track of your points, so you can build them
up if necessary before the last battle. Some folks might not think it's worth
the effort. Here's a breakdown of the point allotments.
Each enemy killed: 10-15 points (I don't know if Bosses are included)
Each HP lost: 1 point
Forgive Claudia: 1000 points
You will lose anywhere between 20-50 points for checking up on Douglas in the
Park. You'll have to estimate, but if you don't like to write stuff down, then
just follow this simple strategy. Kill every enemy that you possibly can. Hunt
them down if necessary. Once you have several HEALTH DRINKS, deliberately sustain
damage, and then heal. I don't think that healing takes anything away, but if
it does, then don't bother. Then, forgive Claudia when the opportunity presents
itself. Other FAQs might offer some alternatives, so check them out, as well.
Description: It starts off just like the Normal ending. However, in the Amusement
Park, Douglas is lying in a pool of blood. Heather loses her mind under the influence
of Samael, as you can clearly see from her bloodstained knife.
==========================
==========================
UFO/Revenge
==========================
To get this ending, you have to kill at least 30 enemies with either the SEXY
BEAM or the HEATHER BEAM. You CANNOT use any other weapons until you meet the
above requirement. If you kill 40 enemies with the SEXY BEAM and want to switch
to the Shotgun, then I believe that you still get the ending.
Description: Heather enters her apartment. Instead of the video with Harry's
corpse, there is another video, done up in comic book format. Heather complains
to her father about the adventure she just had. Harry turns into an alien, and
promises to go back to Silent Hill and exact some punishment. In the background,
you can see a fight between Harry Mason from the original "Silent Hill" and a
blond guy, who has to be James from "Silent Hill 2". Then, it shows Silent Hill
being incinerated by UFOs. After that, a ridiculous song begins, sung by a group
of Japanese men. The lyrics can be found in Deadmeat X's FAQ, if you want to
see them. When THE END appears, you hear a machine gun, and the singers start
screaming.

X. Puzzle Guide
Note: There a few things you don't have to do in Easy Mode.
A). In the Mall, you don't have to find the Chemicals, and you also don't have
to worry about the bugs.
B). In the Office Building, you don't need to use the SCREWDRIVER to open the
drawer. It's already unlocked.
C). The Crematorium puzzle doesn't have to be solved.

Bookstore Puzzle
====================
Difficulty: Easy
Solution: Place BOOK I in the first open slot, and BOOK II in the second slot.
Difficulty: Normal
Solution: Examine the books to find the writing on the back. Using this as a
reference point, you can place the books beside one another until you get a complete
number. If you're successful, you'll see a four-digit number. I think the solution
to this puzzle is random, but, on your first time through, the order of the books
always tends to be I-IV-V-III-II. At least, this has been the case on two occasions.
Difficulty: Hard
Solution: This time around, you have to match up verse with the Shakespearean
plays they are referring to. I am a Shakespeare enthusiast, so this was pretty
easy for me, but it will undoubtedly be a pain for some players. I suggest searching
the Internet for websites that offer synopses of Shakespeare's works.
Verse 1 - Hamlet - Book IV
Verse 2 - Romeo & Juliet - Book I
Verse 3 - Othello - Book V
Verse 4 - King Lear - Book II
Verse 5 - Macbeth - Book III
Arrange the books in the order indicated above. That's IV-I-V-II-III. You'll
get a five-digit code. However, the door you need to open only requires four
numbers. That's where the 6th verse comes in. Let's analyze it together.
Verse 6
"One vengeful man spilled blood for two" (This is about Hamlet, who takes
revenge on his uncle)
"Two youths shed tears for three" (This is about Romeo & Juliet, and the tragic
end to their relationship)
"Three witches disappeared thusly" (One of the most famous scenes from Macbeth)
Hamlet - multiply 4 by 2 to get 8
Romeo & Juliet - multiply 1 by 3 to get 3
Macbeth - the three witches disappear, so eliminate the number 3
Apply these hints to the code you have thus far: 4-1-5-2-3. Multiply the first
number (4) by 2 to get 8. Multiply the second number (1) by 3 to get 3. Erase
the last number (3) to be left with the correct code: 8352.

Crematorium
=======================
Difficulty: Easy
Solution: Just walk up to the oven and grab the KEY.
Difficulty: Normal
Solution: Look at the roman numerals and see which square they correspond to.
Each square represents a bed. If IV is in the middle square of the left column,
then the fourth number is 4. If II is in the middle of the middle column, then
the second number is 5. Got it?

Tarot Card Puzzle
====================
Difficulty: Easy
Solution: Just place the cards in the places corresponding to the ones in the
notebook.
Upper left - Fool
Upper right - moon
Center - Eye of the Night
Bottom left - Hanged Man
Bottom Right - High Priestess
Difficulty: Normal
Solution: Use the verses to figure this out.
Upper left - Eye of the Night
Left center - High Priestess
Upper right - Moon
Right center - Fool
Bottom center - Hanged Man
Difficulty: Hard
Solution: The Roman numerals give away the pattern.
Upper left - High Priestess
Top center - Eye of the Night
Center - Fool
Right center - Moon
Bottom left - Hanged Man

XI. Secrets
=================
Gold and Silver Pipes
=================
Location: Sewers. When you go to put the DRYER in the outlet, stand at the edge
of the water and press X.. Heather will think of throwing in the STEEL PIPE.
Agree with her. The STEEL PIPE must not be equipped. A fairy will appear and
ask you three questions. Answer them correctly to receive the GOLD PIPE and the
SILVER PIPE. They are just for show, and are no more powerful than the regular
STEEL PIPE. The answers are No, No, Yes. This can only be done during an
Extra Game.
==================
Silencer
==================
At the Construction Site, you'll have to plug up a hole with a mattress. Examine
the nearby walls, and the camera will focus on a wall that's structurally different
than the others. Use a melee weapon (preferably the MAUL) to break down the wall.
Grab the SILENCER. Equip it in the Item Menu, and it will automatically be fitted
onto your HANDGUN or SUBMACHINE GUN. It serves virtually no purpose other than
noise reduction.
==================
Douglas's Underwear
=================
Once you finish the game, select the "Extra New Game" option on the Main menu
and press
Up - Up - Down - Down - Left - Right - Left - Right - Circle - X. Heather will
sigh, and Douglas will appear in only his underpants during cut scenes.
==================
Extra Options
==================
While in the Options Menu, press R1, L1, R2, or L2 to find the Extra Options screen.
Here, you can change the color of blood, select Beginner or Expert difficulties,
set the bullet multiplier, and switch on the Life Bar function.
XII. Extra Weapons
Note: These weapons will be unlocked after you beat the game once certain conditions
have been met.
======================
Beam Saber
How to obtain: Kill enemies with melee weapons
Location: Mall corridor where you fight the first Numb Body
Rating: 2/5
Description: It's a light saber. You have to activate it by pressing R2. It's
powerful, but it must be re-activated if you take damage from an enemy.
Flamethrower
How to obtain: Kill enemies by shooting them
Location: Mall, on the counter in Helen's Bakery
Rating: 3/5
Description: It has unlimited fuel. However, it takes forever to kill even the
weakest of enemies. On the plus side, the Flamethrower does have enormous stopping
power, and it can put quite a bit of distance between you and the monsters you
encounter. Use it when you want to run rather than fight.
Unlimited Submachine Gun
How to obtain: Kill the final boss with a melee weapon. Use the KATANA or the
MAUL for the best results. You can fire bullets at it to wear it down, but the
last blow must be delivered by a melee weapon.
Location: Once you exit the bathroom at the beginning of the game, go left down
the alley to the end that's blocked off.
Rating: 5/5
Description: Obvious benefits.
Heather Beam
How to obtain: Get 333 kills. You don't have to do this in one game. You can
play through the game multiple times, and calculate the combined total. Make
sure to keep track, though.
Location: You start with it in your inventory
Rating: 2/5
Description: All other weapons must be unequipped. Press R2 and X to fire. If
X is pressed down, you'll fire homing missiles. If you press X and the Up Button,
you'll shoot an energy ball.
Sexy Beam
How to obtain: Unlock the Heather Beam, and put on the Transform Costume (the
password is Princess Heart). While wearing the Transform Costume, you can use
the Sexy Beam.
Location: You start with it in your inventory.
Rating: 3/5
Description: Hold X to fire targeted missiles. They are stronger than the homing
missiles from the Heather Beam. There is also a beam that comes out of Heather's
eyes. You must use this weapon (or the HEATHER BEAM) in order to receive the
Revenge/UFO ending.
