Silent Hill 2 Hints

Can I get into the Special Treatment area?

  • 1 of 8: Yes, and you need to.
  • 2 of 8: But this place is all backward, like Alice Through the Looking Glass.
  • 3 of 8: You can only get there by going in the opposite direction.
  • 4 of 8: Did you pick up the key on the nightstand in Maria's room yet?
  • 5 of 8: Open the door that key leads to and see what happens.
  • 6 of 8: Once you're inside, only one of the rooms will open.
  • 7 of 8: Inside that room, turn left and look at the bloody mess behind the door.
  • 8 of 8: The poem is useless; it's the scratched number above it you want. The number is different in every game, so write it down.
