Silent Hill 2 Hints

How do I get out of this dry well?

  • 1 of 5: Blast! We're in a tight spot! Have you checked every inch of the wall?
  • 2 of 5: Almost all of it gets the same response.
  • 3 of 5: Eventually, however, James will find a spot that looks a little different, like it could be knocked down.
  • 4 of 5: Arm yourself with either the Steel Pipe or the Plank with Nails and knock it down.
  • 5 of 5: The interface is problematic here, so I'll elaborate. Stand in front of the "different" spot, arm with your implement of choice, push the Aim Lock button, then Attack. Two or three hits should be enough to knock it down.
