SILENT HILL 2 – Quick Guide to All Endings

All Endings Guide

Leave Ending

Requirements:

• Check Mary’s photo often. Don’t visit Maria in the hospital. Listen to everything Mary says in the hallway at the end.
• Keep your health high. Listen to the recording at Lake View Hotel. Don’t look at Angela’s knife.

This is one of the three main endings and earns you the “Making Peace” achievement. It’s generally considered the good ending. It’s easy to achieve if you play normally.

In Water Ending

Requirements:

• Look at Angela’s knife often. Don’t heal right away; keep your health low.

This ending, which gives you the “Only Way Out” achievement, is one of the three main endings. Many players view it as the bad ending.

Maria Ending

Requirements:

• Look at Mary’s photo no more than once. Stay close to Maria and protect her. Listen to Maria and follow her instructions. Visit her in the hospital frequently.
• Go where she directs you. Don’t listen to Mary in the last hallway.

This is the final main ending, earning you the “Vicious Circle” achievement. You can interpret this ending in your own way.

Rebirth Ending

Requirements:

• Play on New Game Plus. Collect 4 special items:
  1. Crimson Ceremony: In the graveyard near a grave. White Chrism: On the porch of Baldwin mansion, near Jack’s Inn.
  2. Obsidian Goblet: In Silent Hill Historical Society, near the pyramid head painting.
  3. Book of Lost Memories: In Lake View Hotel’s lost and found (break a wall in Cafe Toluca to access).

After collecting all items, finish the game by defeating the final boss. You’ll receive the “Defy Even Death” achievement once you gather the last item.

UFO Ending

Requirements:

• Play on New Game Plus. Steal a blue gem from a jewelry store north of Big Jay’s. Go to the top of Saul Apartments and interact with the gem while listening for noises.
• Repeat this at Rosewater Park. Finally, check the gem in Room 312 of Lake View Hotel.

This is one of the two joke endings and earns you the “Tinfoil Hat” achievement.

Dog Ending

Requirements:

• Play on New Game Plus. Find the first item in the back room north of Big Jay’s. Get the second item from a dog house in the backyard of the first house on Katz St.

Combine the two parts to make a full key. Instead of going to Room 312, use the key to enter the Observation Room. This is the second joke ending, giving you the “The Goodest Boi” achievement.

Serenity Ending

Requirements:

• Play on New Game Plus. Find the “Key of Sorrow” in a green car below the bridge before entering town (in the right rear window).
• At the end of the game, go to the manager’s office in the otherworld Lake View Hotel after Angela’s scene.
• Place the Key of Sorrow in a safe and use the code R3 L1 R4 to get a postcard.
• Complete the game normally.

Once you get the postcard, you’ll be locked into this ending, which is similar to the “In Water” ending.

Bliss Ending

Requirements:

• Play on New Game Plus. Find a rusted key in a safe at Pete’s Bowl-O-Rama (code: 1887).
• Locate a small chest in a gazebo at Brookhaven Hospital; it contains a bottle of “White Claudia.” Keep it until Room 312.
• In Room 312, drink the White Claudia and use the video tape.

This is the second new ending and does not grant any achievements.
