Silent Hill 2 Hints

Where should I go first?

  • 1 of 8: When you first come into town, you don't have a lot of options.
  • 2 of 8: Almost every street is blocked off in one fashion or other. It's as if you're being funneled to one specific location.
  • 3 of 8: Let it happen. You're not in any danger until you've met your first demon in a cut-scene.
  • 4 of 8: Go west on Sanders. At the intersection with Lindsey, James will see blood on the road and an odd figure going down the street. Follow it.
  • 5 of 8: Go north on Lindsey. Go east on Vachss (more blood, plus it's the only open street) and follow it to the end.
  • 6 of 8: At the end of Vachss Street, climb through the boards (use Action) to encounter your first demon.
  • 7 of 8: James will provide the weapon. All you have to do is press Action to wield it.
  • 8 of 8: When you finish this scene, many streets will be open to you.
