If you have Konami's old game gun plug it in to controler port 2 before you start the game. Load up the game, in your inventory you will now have the hyperblaster.
*Note: To use it it's almost better to have two players one to control the gun and one to control Harry. |
Hint: Hyper Blaster | Updated 20 Sep |
The Hyper Blaster is obtained by unlocking the UFO ending, detailed below. Note: Channeling stone shows up on the Game Ending screen, not this weapon. The channeling stone is another possible item (in the convenience store in Next Fear mode if the game is completed with a Good+ rating). To get the UFO ending with it (and subsequently the Hyper Blaster immediately in the Next Fear mode), use the item at these locations:
Old Silent Hill: On the roof of the Alternate School
Alternate Central Silent Hill: Right outside the hospital before fighting the Moth/Adult Grub.
Resort Area: Norman's Motel, in front of the apartments
Alternate Resort Area: On the bridge of the boat.
Alternate Resort Area: Roof of lighthouse.

Hint: Bathroom Teleporters In School | Updated 20 Sep |
| Enter and exit the girl's bathroom in the second part of the school (through the clock tower). The game will transport your character to the second floor bathroom, which is closed off (along with the men's second floor bathroom) from the rest of the second floor hallway. There are two boxes of handgun ammunition and one box of shotgun shells in the second floor men's bathroom. After collecting them, enter and exit the girl's bathroom on that floor to return to the first floor. |
Hint: Getting The Katana | Updated 20 Sep |
| Complete the game with the good ending to receive the katana. Save, then begin the game again. Play through until reaching the first house that was entered in old Silent Hill. Go to the door that was previously locked in the hallway to find the katana. Completing the game with the good ending will also allow access to the channeling stone. |
Hint: Hospital Doors | Updated 20 Sep |
| In the third floor of hospital area are two doors with three panels of push buttons over each one. Read the two pictures at the far end of the room. Use the "Camera" that you already should have found on each of the pictures. This will reveal the necessary pattern(s) that need to be re-drawn on the push-button panels. This opens the respective door and allows the game to proceed. |
Ending Bonuses | Updated 04 Sep |
There are four endings to Silent Hill, each with its own set of bonuses.
BAD ENDING Prizes: Gas tank, Chainsaw, Rock Drill.
The Gas tank is found in the gas station. It is used to power the other two prizes, but only one of the two weapons can be taken. The rock drill is in the room under the drawbridge control room. It's not very good.
The Chainsaw is in the smashed window of cut-rite chainsaws, and is a lot better than the rock drill. These two weapons are useful against slow ground enemies, but the hammer works better, and you don't need to beat the game to get it.
BAD+ ENDING Prize: Katana.
This is found in the previously locked room in the Dog House on Levin Road. It WAILS any slow moving enemies, and you lunge forward with every stroke. Hold the circle button for an overhead blow, and tap twice for a double slash. You can perform a 3-hit combo by holding the circle for the first hit, then rapidly pressing it.
GOOD ENDING Prize: Hyperblaster
This gun is just plain cool. It's mega-powerful and has an unlimited supply of ammo.
GOOD+ ENDING Prize: Channeling Stone.
Found in the convenience store. Who knows what it does or where to use it. |
