Silent Hill 2 Hints
I'm stuck!
- If you're around town, check for a street you haven't been down. The important places to go are often circled or underlined in red. Sometimes it's just a matter of checking every street till you find the one that isn't blocked off.
- If you're inside a building, check the map to find doors you haven't tried yet. Check all possible floors. Check your inventory for things that might be used to open other things. A locked door is a neon sign screaming, "LOOK FOR THE KEY!"
- If you're in the labyrinth, check the in-game map every time you use a ladder. The labyrinth only has two vertical levels, though it may seem like more.
- If the only way out of a room is a bottomless hole in the floor, odds are it's time for you to jump. I never encountered a situation where you can drop into a hole where you'll ever need to jump back out.
- If you're stuck in a boss fight, switch to Run, pull out your fastest weapon, and save before you open the door where the boss is waiting. Also try switching weapons; the Rifle is powerful, but it might be too slow for the faster bad guys. If nothing seems to help and you're determined to finish the game, the only thing I can suggest is starting a new game at a lesser Action level.
