Silent Hill 3 Hints

Hard

  • 1 of 17: Examine the room for a hint.  There's a sketchbook on the bed...
  • 2 of 17: Examine the sketchbook for a hint.  It's bunch of strange marks...
  • 3 of 17: ING        WXX        NXA
    OEI        IFI        VII

    MOX        NOT        XVH
    XON        HNG        III

    XAA        CXX        CCX
    JII        IEI        IHT
  • 4 of 17: Carefully examine the tarot cards.  On them, you'll find Roman numerals on the top of the cards.
  • 5 of 17: Fool           -- 0
    Moon           -- XVIII
    High Priestess -- II
    Eye of Night   -- XXII
    Hanged Man     -- XII
  • 6 of 17: Notice that in the markings in the sketchbook, there are Cs, Xs, Vs, and Is...Roman numerals.
  • 7 of 17: But there are a lot of other characters, too.  How could you sift through those?
  • 8 of 17: Get rid of all the characters in the markings that are not the Roman numerals X, V, or I.
  • 9 of 17: I**        *XX        *X*
    **I        I*I        VII

    **X        ***       XV*
    X**        ***       III

    X**        CXX        CCX
    *II        I*I        I**
  • 10 of 17: Note, however, that the Fool card is 0 -- not a Roman numeral.  There's one set of markings that has no Roman numerals, and notice what it spells: "NOTHNG," which is very similar to "Nothing."  0 = Nothing.  Now, we have (after rearranging the Roman numerals so that they make sense...):
  • 11 of 17: II        XXII      XVII

    XX        "0"       XVIII

    XII       CXXII     CCXI  
  • 12 of 17: There are only 5 cards, however, so you'll have to eliminate several of the markings...
  • 13 of 17: Remove the Roman numerals that don't match any of the cards.
  • 14 of 17: II        XXII               

              "0"       XVIII

    XII                 
  • 15 of 17: This is the clue you need to know where to place the cards.
  • 16 of 17: Place each card in the spot labeled with the corresponding Roman numeral.
  • 17 of 17: -Priestess-     -Eye of Night-    -   None  -

    -   None   -    -     Fool   -     -  Moon  -

    -Hanged Man-    -     None   -     -  None  -
