In 2 i'm stuck in a room with all these bugs in the historical society and i have no idea what the code is to open the door. I'm not sure if i missed it or if theres something in the room i just havent picked up on.

i think the code was written in blood on a wall somewhere

No there is no code, you just have to enter numbers and the door will eventually open. There were hints on the panel i think.


Janiel, still to busy sorry i haven't gotten around to it yet. I WILL, soon.

yeah theres 3 numbers illuminated on the top of the panel. they are always randomized so which ever numbers are lit up, you have to try different combinations with them to unlock the door.

That's the one. Good memory.

haha. i didnt remember. i just looked at my guide.
i forgot that i had it.

Noice.

I'm not gonna summarise the game. I feel it would loose it's magic. I'm going to give a very rough detailed account of what happens step by step in the game in the form of a story. Enjoy, if you can be bothered to read it.
please do.

SILENT HILL
Intro


The year is 1979. Harry Mason and his wife are vacationing in Silent Hill. Upon leaving they discover a baby along the side of the road. They decide to take it home and raise it as their own. Four years later harry's wife dies from an incurable disease, and Harry continues to raise Cheryl as his daughter.

The year is 1986. Cheryl is 7 years old. Harry and Cheryl are in their Jeep heading to Silent Hill for a vacation. The hour is late and the road, strangely, has been deserted for the last 5 miles. Harry's head nods, he's very sleepy. Cheryl naps in the car, holding her sketchbook. Suddenly Harry sees a light behind him, a bike. The bike passes Harry's Jeep and he sees it's a female cop, who nods at Harry and zooms off into the distant darkness. Several minutes of driving on the side of a mountain, and Harry sees the bike the cop was riding on, strewn across the side of the road. The cop is no where to be seen. He decides to stop, turns his gaze to the road ahead, and realises there's a woman standing infront of him on the road. She seems to have appeared out of nowhere. Harry frantically spins the wheel, and everything goes black.

Harry awakes in his Jeep. He seems to have gone over the rail and down through the woods into town. Cheryl is gone, the door open. He gets out of the Jeep and inspects the area. It's incredibly foggy, he can barely see 10 feet infront of him. And, it's snowing, in the middle of summer. It also seems to be day, at least 12 hours after he crashed.

Harry starts walking down the road, calling for his daughter, or anyone. The town is deserted. Not a soul in sight, not a body, no one. Cars are parked on the road as normal, nothing seems to be out of place. Suddenly he spots a girl in the distance, Cheryl. He calls out to her but she runs away. Harry gives chase, a block, and down an alley. He hears a gate open and follows Cheryl through the gate... on the otherside is something. Something that once resembled a dog, the leash still teathered around the remains of it's neck. But it seems to have been exploded from the inside. Harry holds back a barf and continues down the alley. The snow stops and turns to rain suddenly, and is it getting darker?

Suddenly harry finds himself plunged in total blackness, the day seems to have turned to night within minutes! He lights a match to see with and continues down the alley.

What's this? A hospital gurney? Two of them!! The undenyable blood stains on the hospital bed worrying harry even more. He hurries down the alley. It seems to go on forever. There's a wheelchair, upturned, the wheel in the air still spinnng. Harry goes through another gate.

The alley starts to look less like an alley the further he travels down it. The brickwork walls giving way to grid iron fences, covered in corogated rust. Barbed wire litters the stone path.. and then blood. More blood. Unidentifiable pieces of flesh... Harry illuminates the area with another match. There is a skinned corpse hung up with barbed wire on the rusty iron fence. I's featureless face staring at him.

Suddenly Harry feels a sharp pain in his leg. He turns to see some kind of demon child with a knife stabbing at him. And more,and more. Their demonic laugh of joy the last thing he remembers...



MORE TO COME!!!!

eep, just readin that gave me chills...I remember every peice of that from the game to .

Creeeeepy Keep it cooming!!!!!

I want Janiel to read this before moving on.

Sweeeet thats soo cool

SILENT HILL CONT.
The Search


Harry wakes up in some kind of diner. Had it all just been a dream? But it was so real feeling. He looks out the window and sees the familiar destered streets and white fog, like a carpet over the town. A woman walks towards him. Dressed in black leather pants, and a blue cop shirt, Harry realises it's the cop who had passed him on the bike on the road.

After a brief chat she explains she is from the next town over and came responding to a distress call. She gives you a gun and tells you to be careful, while she looks for a way out of town. In the diner Harry finds a knife, a map of the northern silent hill area and a flashlight. As he leaves the diner a radio starts giving of a strange static. What could it be? He moves to check it out..

Everything happens at once. The window in the far corner of the diner impodes. Suddenly the window infront of him does the same, and he's faced against a flying set of claws. The monster shrieks at him, it's pink flesh flapping in the air. How can such an abonination exist? He aims the handgun and fires, killing it inches from his face. Something is VERY wrong with this town, and he must find his daughter! Looking at the map he decides to check that alley she went down one more time.

A few minutes of darting from shadow to shadow in the down, avoiding the demonic flying creatures and harry finds himself at the remains of the dog again. He goes down the ally, only to find it blocked. But what's this? Cheryls notebook is lying on the ground. In blue crayon is scribbled on the paper 'TO SCHOOL'. She's at the school...

Harry find the town infested with the flying demons and also bizarre skinless Dogs. Cutting through a house to the school in the suthern part of the residential area of town he pauses to catch his breath. Demons. Fog. The town completely deserted. Where the hell is everone? He finds and pockets a first aid kit, and inspects the house. Food still on the plates, the phone line dead. No signs of struggle. He ducks out the back door.

The snow suddenly stops, turning to rain. The town is plunged into darkness. No light, no sound, just darkness. He switches on his flashlight, determined to make it to the school.....

oo wow awsome!!!!!

Taking it all in?

Remember, this is 17 years before the events of Silent Hill 3. I'm not sure how far you got in it, but i may be giving you some spoilers at points.

Anyway, want me to continue?

of course, i havent started SH3 yet, i thought i would like to hear (or read) this first

Perfect. In that case there shouldn't be any Silent Hill 3 spoilers. It's hard to tell at first when you play SH3 how it's a Sequel, especially being 17 years later, but once you get to the point all is explained and you'll be like Ooooooo!!

Okay, i'm gonna continue the story.

SILENT HILL CONT.
School

Harry closes the front door of the school behind him. The mad dash in the dark to the school had been rough, there were the flying demons and dog demons everywhere and in the darkness his shooting had been off. Luckily he'd run into a convienience store stacked with handgun bullets, his pockets gingled with each step.
The school as he suspected is deserted. No signs of life. The flashlight illuminating dark hallways. Nothing however seemed out of the ordinary. So Cheryl is here?

Harry scoops up a memo with teachers names on it. It's been written over in blood, a bunch of riddles. Something about the key to the clocktower? He tosses it aside and opens a door to the teachers lounge.

There on the wall of the lounge was a picture that made his blood turn cold. It was a painting of a doorway with two bodies hung on each side of the door by hooks embedded in their backs.
This? In a SCHOOL? He was starting to suspect something very wrong with Silent hill.

Several minutes Harry spends looking in empty dark classrooms and hallways. In the bathroom he thought he heard a child crying, but there was no one there. On the second floor he finds a locker room. The is a horrible thudding from inside one of the lockers. He opens it and a cat burst out and ran down the corridor. Nothing else. Harry finds a small oval crest, it looks useful. Finally deciding to check out the courtyard he heads back downstairs. Still no signs of life, the place completely deserted except for a few oversized cockroaches and the occasional howl of something foul outside.

Harry opens the door to the courtyard, and sees something in the darkness. Something small, naked, pale. Coming his way. Laughing, an evil demonic laugh of enjoyment and pleasure. It held up a knife. The same creatures from his dream! He points the handgun and fires at it, and another, exploding their heads in a spray of gore. There's a clocktower out here with a large hole for something to be placed. He places the crest and the door unlocks. It's a tiny door and he crawls inside. A ladder. The ladder seems to go down forever, and there's nothing but darkness at the bottom. But what's that sound, air raid sirens? He vaguely remembers hearing them in the dream, when the world shifted to the nightmare realm.... at the other side of the small dark room was a ladder leading up. He grabs the ladder and climbs. A door at the top. He steps out of the door... into the school courtyard. Hadn't he come from here? No it's different somehow. There's a gigantic demonic cult symbol carved in the ground. Harry is confused. He tries the door back into the school he came out of but it's locked. Trying the door on the other side it opens...

And reveals a scene of death and gore like nothing he'd ever seen. Quickly dispatching of two of the demon children he inspects the once-was school hallway. The walls have turned to rusted iron slabs covered in blood. The ceiling littered with bloody meat hooks and bits of unidentifiable flesh. A large fan humms taking up part of a wall, looing like several human bodies had been thrown into it and churned up.
Cheryl is HERE?

Harry stumbles down another dark school hallway, checking the classroom. All the classrooms have been replaced with death and decay, almost like a fire has brandished the area while he was under the clock tower. Still no sign of anyone except these horrible demon things. He checks the bathroom again at the end of the hall. Blood drips out from under the stall. Opening the stall he finds a corpse, skinned and bloody, pinned by the arms and legs to the back wall. It's eyeless sockets watching him. On the wall written in blood is 'Leonard Rynes, The monster Lurks'. A book title and author? He leaves the bathroom and heads to the teachers lounge. The painting is gone, to Harrys horror it has become real. A large door and on either side two tortured human bodies, pinned to the wall by their melted flesh.

Through the door and up the stairs to the second floor, Harry finds himself in a classroom with a bunch of blue phones. They've all got dead air on the line. As Harry leave the room, one of them rings. The noise is unnatural and pircing in the dark, silent hell. He slowly picks up the reciever and puts it to his ear.

'Daddy? Help me. Daddy where are you?'

Cheryls voice. Where could it have come from? Full of determination he starts running around the second floor, pumping the demon children full of holes. He finds himself in the locker room again, it actually looks like it was before. The thumping again, coming from the same locker. He opens it, expecting to find the cat again.. nothing. Nothing but blood and gore. As he turns to leave the room a body smashes out of another locker behind him onto the floor, it's skinless grotesque face grinning up at him. Time to leave this nightmare. The corpse has a key on it to the basement. Harry heads there.

In the basement Harry finds an elevator and a book. the book is a childs fairytale about a woman who kills the dragon by shooting it in the mouth. He heads down the elevator. At the bottom he find a room illuminated by a burning corpse, and is suddenly attacked by a HUGE lizard! He fires but the bullets pang off it. It's going to eat him! The lizards head splits in half, spraying sick brain matter all over his head.

Suddenly all is black. He's in a school basement, a NORMAL school basement. The generator humms quietly beside him.. and there's a woman. THE woman who made him crash. She looks a little like Cheryl, but about 15 years older. She's wearing a blue dress with a white collar. The woman stares at him.. and then dissapears right before his eyes. A ghost maybe?

He heads back upstairs. White daylight is pooring in the windows. No gore, no rust, no corpses, just a normal school. What's happening in this town.

Suddenly he hears church bells. Deciding Cheryl isn't here, he longs to talk to somene about all this. Who's ringing those bells? He would find out soon enough.

oooh soo cool i love it

SILENT HILL CONT.
To the Hospital


Harry reaches the Church with no problems. Looks like the creatures appear less during the day then they do when it's dark. He had no idea how long he'd been in town but a day must have passed at least. The ringing stopped about a block away but he found it no problem: it was the same church him and his wife had run away to get married in 9 years before.

The door creaks open and Harrp steps inside. A normal chruch with pews and.. and an old woman standing at the alter facing him like she was waiting for him. Her feet bare, he head covered by a veil, a very strange looking woman. She starts talking in riddles and confused delusion after harry asks what's going on. Flaruros? Demon gods? What is this rubbish she speaks of?

'The town is being devoured by the darkness!' she says to harry. 'You must take the flauros to illuminate the way through the darkness. Stop the darkness from devouring the town!' and with that she was gone. She had given her name, Daliha Gilespie. Well that was weird. Harry inspects the altar and finds the thing she must have called 'Flauros'. A strange multi-sided object with no apprent use. Harry pockets it, and sits to collect his thoughts so far.

A deserted town, covered with fog. Snow during the day, rain at night. Changes from day to night within minutes, and is full of demonic creatures. And at the school, the shift to the 'other' world where the place looked like a fire had ripped through it with tortured corpses everywhere, he couldn't even get his head around it. He wondered if Daliha was still here, maybe more people are. He wondered if Cybil, the cop he ran into at the diner, was gonna come back with backup. He wondered where Cheryl was. He'd always told her if she was lost to go to the... police station! Studying the map the police station was over the river in the shopping distict. Harry would go there.

The station was a bust, as he had expected. All he'd done there was kill yet another new demon that resembled a rotting mutated ape. There were some files however, about a drug that alot of the town residents were hooked on. White Claudia. Apparently it possesed the capability of giving hallucinations and no one knew how it was getting trafficed into town.

Walking down the street wondering what to do next, Harry hears a gunshot. Someone else in town!? Maybe it was Cybil. He heads in the direction of the gunshot, shooting at a flying demon along the way, and discovers it came from the Hospital. With a deep breath he pushes open the hospital front doors...

bring on the next one!

You'll have to wait until the hospital for the next part. My work just got extremely busy.

Reflect on the story so far. Thanks for being patient.

ok no prob

How far is the hotel from the end?

The hotel is the end. Takes about 30 mins to get through it and you're done.

You never go to the amusement park?

Not in 2 no. In SH1 and Sh3.

ohhhh man this is awsome!!!! Keep it comin Burnsy! I love it!!!!!!

Hey i'm glad you like it.

Right now i'm just giving the story as it happens in the game. Afterwards i'll go back and give an explanation for everything, why it happens, what it means, etc etc.

You'll have to wait until tomorrow for the rest though.

hehehe, thats still today for me

I literally mean 24 hours, so it will be tomorrow for you.

There its done. I beat it in a little under 9 hours and I'm not sure what ending i got. I see this letter and then the little girl and James walk through the cemetary.

damn

How can I open the door in the 3rd floor of the hospital? Help anyone, please?

I don't remember if this is for the second or 3rd floor, but with the camera there's a room in the basement with a blood trail going behind a cupboard. Take a picture of the blood trail, it'll give you the password.

Why did James kill Marry?

SILENT HILL cont.
The Hospital



Upon first glance, the hospital seems empty. The daylight flowing in through windows, plants in dire need of watering, nothing out of the ordinary. Determined to find where the gunshot came from, Harry takes a few steps down the marble hallway and peers into the first door he sees. It's a small doctors office with another door at the end. Slowly he pushes open that door..

A man is sitting on a stair. Nice grey suit, slick sharp haircut, smoking gun in his hands. A flying demon at his feet. Slowly the man stands up and aims the gun at harry, obviously delusional. He fires but misses. WAIT shouts harry! The man colapses back in the chair. He is Dr. Michael Kaffman and claims to work here at the hospital. Harry asks if he knows whats going on, and he shakes his head. "I was taking a nap here in the lounge. When i woke up, everything was crazy" he says. "Look outside, it's snowing in the summer. And you and i both know abominations liek these demons don't exist." Harry asks if he's seen his daughter, but Kaffman shakes his head, snatching up a briefcase and heading for the door. He wishes Harry good luck in his search, and then leaves Harry with only more questions.

After a long search of the hospital's first floor, through the kitchen, repection office, a few waiting rooms, Harry finds himself in a small doctors office that's been obliterated. Someone has searched for something in here. There's smashed glass all over the floor and a red, sticky liquid mixed in. Harry decides the liquid may be important, and scoops some up ina plastic squeeze bottle.

The basement is also empty. Pitch black, but deserted. No one else alive, no demons, nothing. He turns on the elevator generator, and takes the elevator, deciding to check the other floors.

Harry checks the second floor. The door to the hallway is locked. He checks the third floor, the door is also locked. With a heavy heart he returns to the elevator, ready to leave, and is shocked. A 4th floor has appeared suddenly on the elevators buttons. He pushes it and gets off on the mysterious 4th floor.

Blood.

Mold. Wreakage. Decay, the stench of death and burnt flesh fills his nostrils, just like back at the school. The floor is plunged in darkness and harry lights his flashlight, his heart beating. He steps through the door. The familiar meat hooks with bits of flesh dangling from them and the rusted iron walls. He walks down the hallway but all the doors are locked. Except the last one, the stairs. He decends to the 3rd floor, turns.. only to find there's nothing behind him. No 4th floor, like he'd just walked through an entire floor of a building that didn't exist.

Opening the third floor door slowly, and closing it behind. There are gaping holes in the hospital floor giving way to darkness, the sharp edges of the holes drenched in shreds of meat like something alive was dragged in roughly against it's will, ripping the flesh of it's bones.

'Urrrr...' A groan. A moan of pain and anguish and horror. Harry whips his head in the direction of the noise and sees a nurse lumbering her way to him. Is she injured? He runs over to the hunched nurse, noting her nurse uniform soaked with fresh blood. 'Are you okay?' he asks. Then it happened. She lashed out with an unseen knife, stabbing into Harrys shoulder. Something lurched from her back in a stray of blood, some kind of huge moving lump like something alive inside her trying to get out. Harry stumbes back, and the nurse was on him, trying to stab his face.

Harry fires, point blank. The round smashing the nurses skull, the body twitching on him as he pushes it off in absolute horror. The lump on the nurses back erupts in a spray of gore and tissue, and a parasite of sorts emerges, and Harry stamps on it...

Pity. I would have done the same thing. When someone you love is in that much pain and agony, you'd want them to be at peace. It was pity for her and selfishness for him, he wanted the nightmare to be over.

So the events of silent hill 2 occur about a week after mary's death?

That's right! Although james' mind blocked the incident from ever happening and tricked him into believing it happened 3 years ago because he just couldn't take it and had a break down.

wow. i didnt know that. theres so much i dont know about these games. i thought i knew a lot, but apparently not. i gotta start paying more attention to the story lines when i play them.

Am I mistaken when I see the way to the prison as a metaphor? Diveing deeper and deeper into the darkness to find the truth.

No, that's the way i took it too.

The whole prison area seems unreal to me, especially since after going down so far only to end up at the back of the area. I believe it represents diving deeper into Jame's subconcious.

I have one question about your story. Are you going to do different endings or will you cross that bridge when you come to it?

I'm going to go with the good ending, because i'm doing it so that the people who have or are going to play SH3 can understand the story preceding it.

IM ready for the next part master Burnsy!

BS I would just like to say that your doing a great job with the story. Really top notch. You doing a great job of takeing the important parts and leaving the unimportant ones out. Great job

Thanks! I appreciate that.

the story gets better and better

Starting to want to play it yet?

More to come!
