U P D A T E S ========================================================================== -------------------------------------------------------------------------- [12/31/2019] - New Year's Eve - 77 KB [FINAL] Refresh update after rejuvenating my walkthrough after all these years. All memos are now here and have been edited and corrected where necessary. [09/03/2004] - 41 KB Created the FAQ using the memos from my full FAQ/Walkthrough, along with recording another memo. There are still at least six more which will be here shortly. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ========================================================================= 2. F R E Q U E N T L Y A S K E D Q U E S T I O N S ========================================================================= ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: What are memos? A: In the real world they're usually small notes for reminders, updates, and so on, regularly used in business. In Silent Hill 3 they are notes that often contain important information pertaining to puzzles, finding items, or just serving as interesting lore. Q: Is there any way to read a memo again without returning to where it was found? A: Yep, just check the Memos section of your inventory. This records all the more important and generally longer notes found, while minor notes that don't pertain to you are often not recorded. Q: Are these all the memos in the whole game? A: Yep, every one is contained within this document. I'm fairly sure I've got all the small notes and plates everywhere as well. Q: How do I make the ghost event occur in the subway? A: First you must read the newspaper article about the accident on the ticket machine in the concourse. Then simply go to the west end of platform 4 and it will occur. You do not need to read the occult magazine on the way down but it'll help explain the phenomenon. Q: Do I need to find all three parts of the fairy tale to get rid of the monster in Nightmare Hilltop Center? A: You only need to read the ending in Elberton Life Insurance. So while the first two parts are very easy to find and right in your path, you can skip them on subsequent attempts. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ========================================================================= 3.

Content: Fair is foul, and foul is fair. Put these books out of order. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Title: Bookstore Memo (Hard Riddle Level) Location: Beside the back door of My Bestsellers bookstore, Central Square Shopping Center 2F. Content: In here is a tragedy--- art thou player or audience? Be as it may, the end doth remain: all go on only toward death. The first words at thy left hand: a false lunacy, a madly dancing man. Hearing unhearable words, drawn to a beloved's grave---and there, mayhap, true madness at last. As did this one, playing at death, find true death at the last. Killing a nameless lover, she pierced a heart rent by sorrow. Doth lie invite truth? Doth verity but wear the mask of falsehood? Ah, thou pitiful, thou miserable ones! Still amidst lies, though the end cometh not, wherefore yearn for death? Wilt thou attend to thy beloved? Truths and lies, life and death: a game of turning white to black and black to white. Is not a silence brimming with love more precious than flattery? A peaceful slumber preferred to a throne besmirched with blood. One vengeful man spilled blood for two; Two youths shed tears for three; Three witches disappeared thusly; And only the four keys remain. Ah, but verily... In here is a tragedy--- art thou player or audience? There is nothing which cannot become a puppet of fate or an onlooker, peering into the cage. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Title: Ticket machine newspaper Location: On a ticket machine near the concourse turnstiles, Hazel Street Subway Station B1. Content: Fatal Accident At Hazel Street At about 11 PM on the 4th, a man waiting on the platform at the Hazel Street station fell onto the tracks and was decapitated by the arriving St. Renata College-bound train. The victim died instantly. While police have not yet determined whether the death was an accident or suicide, witnesses report that the victim did not look inebriated and seemed to jump off the platform deliberately. The victim's identity is still unknown. He was approximately 40 years old, 5 feet 10 inches tall, and was wearing a black jacket. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Title: Occult magazine Location: On the floor in the west connecting stairway to platform 4, Hazel Street Subway Station B3. Content: The souls of those who died suddenly by suicide or accident don't realize they're dead. Sometimes they stay put and haunt that particular place. These spirits have lost their human senses and memories and can only keep replaying the pain and sadness of the moment they died. The pain can get so bad that they turn to humans for salvation -- or they begrudge humans their lives. At such times they can possess humans. Places known as "famous suicide spots" or "high-accident areas" are often to blame. You should be careful when approaching such locations, especially on the day or at the time the death occurred. That is, if you don't want it to happen to you, too... -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Title: About the monster in the water Location: On the desk in the office room before the low bridge pathway over the water, Underpass lower level. Content: There's a monster in the water. The bastard's killed 2 of my buddies. I should never have doubted that old urban legend about alligators in the sewers. That was no myth. But no one believes me. They were drunk and slipped? We're not that damn stupid. Even calling it a monster isn't quite right. This is something else. All I know is...something's in there. I'm going in now to beat that thing's head in. If you find this note, consider it my will. Revenge is futile -- or so you may think, reading this. But Jose and Jaime were my best buddies. Wish I knew how to do the deed. Guns won't work underwater. Even my famous knifework won't do much. If only I had a hand grenade... -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Title: Photo on chair Location: On the bench in the small lobby of Green Ridge Mental Health Clinic, Nightmare Hilltop Center 2F.

Content: Thus one's life turns to riches: What was a bag of silver coins is now the number in a book. Yet fate hath no price... Ah, but do people know this? -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Title: Fairy tale, Beginning Location: On the floor in front of the Glutton monster blocking the main exit on the first floor, Nightmare Hilltop Center. Content: Once upon a time, there was a monster living at the gates of a village. It was a very scary and a very bad monster. It would catch people and crunch them up with its big teeth. The villagers were afraid of the monster, and no one would dare approach the gates. Everyone was stuck inside the village. When the king heard about this, he summoned his knights. The knights eagerly rode out to defeat the monster. "Ha! Take that!" Their swords slashed and their spears flashed, but the monster wouldn't die. The monster tossed the knights into its mouth one by one, horses and all. What was the king to do? He fretted and fussed and paced the floor, but could think of no solution. Soon after, the village priestess came to the castle. She was a very kind and good person. The king asked her to defeat the monster guarding the gates. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Title: Fairy tale, continued Location: On the table of the northeast room of Onestop Imports after descending from the gallery, Nightmare Hilltop Center 4F. Content: The priestess accepted the king's request and went to the village gates. But when she saw the monster, she tried to convince it with words instead of killing it. "Shut up, you! I'm going to eat you up!" The monster didn't listen to a word the priestess said. But she kept trying to convince the monster to give up. "It's wrong to eat people, you know." The monster grew very angry at this and attacked her, killing her with a single mighty blow. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Title: Fairy tale, Last Part Location: On the bloody table in the middle east south room of Elberton Life Insurance, Nightmare Hilltop Center 1F. Content: The king and his people shed tears at the death of the kind priestess. God took pity upon them and, granting their wishes, healed the priestess. The priestess opened her eyes just as she had done every morning of her life. She went once more to the monster's lair. "Fool! You wish to die again?" "No... this time it's your turn." The priestess had come to defeat the monster once and for all. As the priestess was very very kind, she felt sad about this task. But it had to be done. "Swords and spears won't work. Arrows and bullets will just bounce off. You can't kill me," the monster laughed. But the priestess used neither sword nor spear. She chanted but a single spell. "TU FUI, EGO ERIS." Do you know what happened then? The monster let out a huge cry and then died and vanished! Thus the villagers were able to use their gates once more. Everyone lavished their gratitude upon the priestess, and they all lived happily ever after. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Title: Silent Hill Tourist Information Location: On the center table inside Heaven's Night, Silent Hill. Content: Welcome to Silent Hill! Silent Hill, a quiet little lakeside resort town. We're happy to have you. Take some time out of your busy schedules and enjoy a nice restful vacation here.

Content: Press, move 2 right; press, move 1 up; press, move 2 down; press, the door shall open. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Title: 2F east hall memo (Normal Riddle Level) Location: On the noticeboard beside the 2F patient wing doors, Brookhaven Hospital. Content: The first is larger than the second; the second twice the third; the third smaller than the fourth; the fourth is half the first. Four of the numbers are not repeated Three are not in the top row Two are not in the right row One of the numbers is the final key -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Title: 2F east hall memo (Hard Riddle Level) Location: On the noticeboard beside the 2F patient wing doors, Brookhaven Hospital. Content: Pure eyes, blue like a glassy bead--- You are always looking at me and I am always looking at you. Ah, you're too meek--- beautiful, unspoiled: thus I'm so sad, I suffer--- and so happy, it hurts. I want to hurt you and destroy myself What you would think if you knew how I felt. Would you simply smile, not saying a word? Even curses from your mouth would be as beautiful as pearls. I place my left hand on your face as though we were to kiss. Then I suddenly shove my thumb deep into your eyesocket. Abruptly, decisively, like drilling a hole. And what would it feel like? Like jelly? Trembling with ecstasy, I obscenely mix it around and around: I must taste the warmth of your blood. How would you scream? Would you shriek "It hurts! It hurts!" as cinnabar-red tears stream from your crushed eye? You can't know the maddening hunger I've felt in the midst of our kisses, so many of them I've lost count. As though drinking in your cries, I bring my hopes to fruition: biting your tongue, shredding it, biting at your lips as if tasting your lipstick. Oh, what euphoric heights I would reach, having my desires fulfilled like a greedy, gluttonous cur. I longed, too, for your cherry-tinted cheeks, tasty enough to bewitch my tongue. I would surely be healed, and would cry like a child. And how is your tender ear? It brushes against my cheek; I want it to creep up to my lips so I can sink my teeth into its flesh. Your left ear, always hearing words whispered sweet as pie--- I want it to hear my true feelings. I never lied, no... but I did have my secrets. Ah, but what must you think of me? Do you hate me? Are you afraid? As though inviting you to the agony at the play's end, if you wish, you could destroy me---I wouldn't care. As you wish, you may destroy me ---I wouldn't care. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Title: Corpse tattoo Location: On the hanging arm of the corpse on the stretcher in Examining Room 3, Brookhaven Hospital 2F. Content: [Tattooed on a corpse's arm] The start time is my key. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Title: Memo about the corpse Location: On the back desk of Examining Room 3, Brookhaven Hospital 2F. Content: Background: unknown. Name/age: unknown. Not admitted patient. Found in poor mental state on hospital grounds and temporarily installed in room M4 at chief's discretion. Died late tonight from blood loss due to severed carotid artery. Was grasping own kitchen knife in right hand; assume this was cause of neck wound. Possible suicide, but wound angle suspicious. Sent to 2nd floor treatment room for further investigation. Have received no proof or corroboration of event from patient residing in same room. Have not notified police. However, for future necessity, leave victim's bed and effects intact (room M4). -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Title: Photo - Backside of shelf Location: Acquired from the Instant Camera, capturing the back of the shelf in the unlocked basement Storeroom, Brookhaven Hospital. Content: [Random four-digit code] -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Title: "Hope House" article Location: On the bed in room S1, Brookhaven Hospital 3F. Content: Teaching Despair: "Hope House" "Hope House", an orphanage on the outskirts of Silent Hill. But behind its false image is a place where children are kidnapped and brainwashed. Hope House is managed by the "Silent Hill Smile Support Society," a charity organization sometimes called "4S." It's true that 4S is a well-respected charity that "takes in poor children without homes and raises them with hope." But at its heart, it is a heathen organization that teaches its own warped dogma in lieu of good religious values. Mr. Smith (temp), who lives near "Hope House," had this to say: "Sometimes at night I can hear their weird prayers and the sounds of [children] crying. I went there to complain one time, but they ran me right out. Since then, it hasn't changed a bit." In fact, this reporter was refused admission when he attempted to take photographs in the facility. What exactly do the folks at "Hope House" have to hide? During my investigations, I was able to discover, however, a suspicious-looking round concrete tower which appears to be part of their facilities. Unfortunately no one was willing to tell us what the tower was used for. But it seems unlikely that it has anything to do with the business of raising orphans. It may in fact be a prison, or a secret place of worship. The cult religion that operates "Hope House" is known by the locals simply as "The Order". It's a religion that is deeply interwoven with Silent Hill's history. But its worshippers' fervent belief that they are among the elite "chosen people" has a dark and dangerous side. I intend to continue my investigation of "Hope House" and the cult behind it. I've always believed that "telling the whole truth" and showing the children the true path, is our most important duty.

Content: This day has finally come. That's right -- the day when you and I will meet. I was always thinking of you, here in this gloomy cell. I never even knew your name or face until today. But now I know. I know you're the one I've been waiting for. And haven't you been waiting for me, too? That's why you came to rescue me. Oh, how I love you, Heather. I want to give you my prized doll I made to commemorate our meeting, the start of this everlasting love. Ah, I can already see your smiling face. Stanley Coleman -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Title: Stanley's diary (Room C4) Location: On the bed in room C4, Brookhaven Hospital 1F. Content: The Organization has me shut up in here. They mean to break my will, to make me forget about all that. But I'll stay sane even if they throw me in here with lunatics. How about if I stick this to the wall? That would be worthless. You can peel it off, can't you, with that junk those nasty wenches won't stop using? If a thing has no meaning, there's no reason for it to exist at all. Just as you exist for me. But why haven't you taken my doll with you? Ah, my gift must've embarrassed you. How cute you are, Heather!

Content: You may not yet have realized your own true feelings. But you sense them unconsciously. And so you're trying to get closer to me. That's a virtue, the path to Paradise. If the door's locked, open it. Use the password for the prison gates. Doctor...I've forgotten his name. Anyway, that quack has it posted. He should be here, too. I mean, 4 numbers would've been good enough, but he kept on going. Isn't it a shame? I'm not there. Aren't you irritated? I long for you, but you're so cruel. Still, I want you, Heather. Stanley Coleman -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Title: Stanley's diary (Room M4) Location: On the right bed of room M4, Brookhaven Hospital 2F. Content: There was a tattooed guy on that rumpled bed. Not any more, though. That alarm clock and filthy bag are his. Ah, but don't misunderstand. I haven't done a thing. I didn't hate him, though he was a liar. Shall I write something of my own? On my chest, since I can't cut it open to show you my heart. "I Love Heather". No, something a bit more forceful. "I Love Heather" isn't enough for what I feel. Oh, what tender emotion this image brings... Stanley Coleman -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Title: Stanley's diary (S.T. Room) Location: In the farthest cell from the main door in the Special Treatment Room, Brookhaven Hospital 3F. Content: Flowing freely, your ebony hair Like the night sky, scattering fragrance My heart, clamoring in my chest Like a storm, you trifle with it Your pristine glance Like a feast, when you smile My thoughts disturbed, my breath Like opium, it drives me mad ...Eric, a great poet who conveys my feelings so well. I shouldn't have let this place get to me, should never have gone crazy. But it's superbly enjoyable to drown in my love for you. But why won't you accept proof of my love? Don't stand on ceremony, now. After all, you and I exist as one. What I give to you is the same as what I give to me. Stanley Coleman -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Title: Stanley's diary (Storeroom) Location: On a shelf in the 3F Storeroom, Brookhaven Hospital. Content: Heather, my most sacred lover. I'm always watching you. No matter where you are or what you may be doing, I have never lost sight of you. I know you feel intensely lonely. Yet with a single key to this door, those feelings won't stand in the way any longer. We haven't been able to see each other for so long. Be patient---it's just a little longer. I'll be patient, too, even though I long to hold you in these hands of mine. The key is behind the shelves in the underground garage. Why there? Ask that idiot doctor. There's not a single person here who's right in the head. Not just in this hospital--- I mean in all of Silent Hill. Except me.

Content: Goodbye, Heather. I'm sorry I wasn't able to respond to your love. It's all over. Leonard despises me---because I made fun of it, saying it would come to this. If it weren't for his meddling, I would have been able to meet you in just a little while. Then I could have taken you to my world. A world for us alone, more beautiful than this one. And I had been waiting for this day, for today. The day I'd see you, the day you'd save me. Today. Heather, watch out for him. Leonard is no ordinary guy. Farewell. I loved you. Heather, my goddess.

Content: Dr. Midkiff: Please use extra caution with the patient in room 312. He should still have his religious freedom here in the hospital, but he shouldn't push his faith on others. I'm a victim, too. Rumor has it he got here by stabbing someone over a religious dispute. Please be careful. R. Crosby P.S. It looks like the rumor is true, according to the head nurse. I do think he's a good person otherwise, though--- easy to deal with. (Note: "room 312" is a typo and should read "room S12", corresponding to Leonard Wolf's room.) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Title: Day room notebook Location: On the side of the Day Room closer to main part of the lobby, Brookhaven Hospital 1F. Content: The world is teeming with unnecessary people. It's God's decision that I fight. As a knight of honor, as a protector of the seal, I sacrifice myself to the blood of criminals. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Title: Book: Lost Memories Location: On a stretcher in room C4, Nightmare Hospital 1F. Content: One characteristic, mentioned only in rare documents and dying out in the modern age, is that of the ritual sacrifice. "Offering prayers, pierce a man's chest with a copper stake. Drench the altar in the blood which spouts red from the heart, to praise and to show loyalty unto God." In another sacrificial rite mentioned in the same book, the victim is burned alive. This was a more dignified ceremony in which prisoners and sinners were not allowed to participate. Only the clergy could be sacrificed. Similar to burning at the stake, no comparable rite can be found in religions practiced nearby. It may have some connection with the main deity being a sun god. Even though this religion extols redemption, it brings to mind a dark and cultish history. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Title: Silhouette photo Location: On the ground past the two life-sized doll statues inside Marchen Travel, Lakeside Amusement Park. Content: [Two photos, one of the Cinderella's silhouette and that of a high heel shoe, and one of Snow White's silhouette holding something in her hand.] -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Title: Dad's memo Location: On the counter of the ice cream stand after Marchen Travel in Lakeside Amusement Park. Content: Dahlia's the one who said it--- said that girl was a demon. That she took my daughter for a sacrifice. But it's not totally believable. I mean, appearances can be deceiving. When I saw that photo in the hospital basement, I thought, "That girl looks like Cheryl." Is that why I feel this way? Something's not normal, anyway. Nothing good will come of this. But I just can't think of her as a demon. Is it my imagination, or do I actually feel sorry for her? Why do I feel like she's looking for someone to help? Cheryl's what's important to me. Everything else can wait until I've gotten her back. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Title: Carousel memo Location: Pinned on a "dead" horse of Happy Carousel, Lakeside Amusement Park. Content: When 13 turns count 4, you will die from their curse. If you wish to escape, there is but one way out. To kill before you are killed: you will be saved by the 12th death. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Title: Alessa memo Location: Written on the floor of Happy Carousel after defeating the Memory of Alessa, Lakeside Amusement Park. Content: It would be better for "myself" to die. After all, it's nothing to be afraid of... That child...that demon... When I think of the endless pain it will bring when it is birthed.... I decided that, instead of the suffering and cruelty I endured in that sick room,... That I would like to bestow a more gentle and peaceful death on "myself". Why do "I" resist? I never thought of "myself" as such a fool..... -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Title: Prayer to God Location: Written on the walls in the hallway before entering the Church. Content: Stained by the evils of this world, we hold our sorrows within us. Only you can heal us these wounds. Each morning, afternoon, evening and night, we call out your name and pray for the day of the Miraculous Descent. I give to you unreservedly my body and my eternal soul. Whatever darkness may befall me, I will endure with you beside me. As proof of your miraculous power, guide our obedient and willing souls to the Road of Paradise, oh Lord. We will not give in to the power of temptation as long as we have you in our hearts. Oh Lord, save us with your compassion. Oh Lord, shower us with your blessings. Oh Lord, favor us with your abundance. (Note: Each verse is written on a different spot of the wall.) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Title: Church door Location: Written on the door before entering the Church. Content: This door is the gate which leads to the Road to Paradise. Embrace the bosom of the Holy Mother. Admit your sins and be forgiven. Eternal tranquility can be yours. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Title: Myth - "1. Origin" Location: On the right wall of the Church's chapel. Content: 1. Origin In the beginning, people had nothing. Their bodies ached, and their hearts held nothing but hatred. They fought endlessly, but death never came. They despaired, stuck in the eternal quagmire. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Title: Myth - "2. Birth" Location: On the right wall of the Church's chapel. Content: 2. Birth A man offered a serpent to the sun and prayed for salvation. A woman offered a reed to the sun and asked for joy. Feeling pity for the sadness that had overrun the earth, God was born from those two people. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Title: Myth - "3. Salvation" Location: On the right wall of the Church's chapel. Content: 3. Salvation God made time and divided it into day and night. God outlined the road to salvation and gave people joy. And God took endless time away from the people. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Title: Myth - "4. Creation" Location: On the left wall of the Church's chapel. Content: 4. Creation God created beings to lead people in obedience to Her. The red god, Xuchilbara; the yellow god, Lobsel Vith; many gods and angels. Finally, God set out to create Paradise, where people would be happy just by being there. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Title: Myth - "5. Promise" Location: On the left wall of the Church's chapel. Content: 5. Promise But there God's strength ran out, and She collapsed. All the world's people grieved this unfortunate event, yet God breathed Her last. She returned to the dust, promising to come again. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Title: Myth - "6. Faith" Location: On the left wall of the Church's chapel. Content: 6. Faith So God hasn't been lost. We must offer our prayers and not forget our faith. We wait in hope for the day when the path to Paradise will be opened. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Title: St. Alessa portrait Location: On the wall in the north octagonal room of the Church's upper level.

Content: St. Jennifer: Unwavering Faith Under Death's Blade -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Title: About syncretic religions Location: On the right side bookshelf in the library, Church upper level. Content: There is no religion that has remained unchanged from the moment it was founded. This one is no exception. When this religion fell into the hands of immigrants, it was deeply influenced by their own original Christian beliefs. For example, the traditional representatives of these primal gods may be given the names and descriptions of Christian angels. Thus shared characteristics begin to appear. (There is also one rare example of the chief deity, "Creator of Paradise" or "Lord of Serpents and Reeds", being dubbed with a demon's name. Of course, this was not done by believers, but by their opponents.) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Title: About Tarot Location: On the middle aisle shelf in the library, Church upper level. Content: Tarot was based on the 22 Hebrew consonants and is said to represent the entire world. Each card, numbered 0 through 21, has a particular meaning. By reading these cards, fortunetellers predict the future. For example, the first card, "The Magician," signifies creation, wisdom, beginnings, or destruction and fraud. The second card, "The High Priestess," denotes intuition, harmony, faith, or dogmatism and arrogance. According to some texts, the Gardner deck had more than 22 cards. (The Gardner deck does not exist today; it is mentioned only in the literature.) It is said that these extra cards were based on lost Hebrew vowels and denoted an otherworldly, transcendental existence: i.e., God. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Title: Dad's diary Location: Inside the bedroom identical to Harry's in the north of the Church's lower level. Content: I sometimes have the sense even now that, that girl is a reincarnation of Alessa. I don't worry about it much now. That's all forgiven. You were unloved, Cheryl... Or was that Alessa? Now Cheryl is Alessa again. No matter whose reincarnation she may have been, that girl was my most beloved treasure. But that name was a mistake. At the time I thought of her only as a replacement for my lost Cheryl. When she knows the truth, will she feel bad? That's what worries me. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Title: About the cult's symbol Location: On the table in the bedroom in the second hallway of the Church's upper level. Content: Represents the deity known as "The Halo of the Sun." In heraldry, symbolizes a religious group. The two outer circles are charity and resurrection; the three inner circles are present, past, and future. Usually drawn in red. Occasionally drawn in black or other colors, but blue reverses the meaning into a curse on God and is therefore forbidden.

Title:    Believers' complaints
Location: On the table of the northern bedroom in the south hallway of the
          Church's upper level.
Content:

People are starting to voice their
dissatisfaction about Father Vincent
using the Organization's money for
his own personal benefit.

I've also heard rumors that Father
Vincent has been extorting donations
from some followers.

Is he really the right person
for such a position?
I'm in no place to deny all he's done
to make the Organization grow.

Even though we believe in God, if
there were some sort of gathering,
shouldn't we be valued not for our
limited talents or our talkativeness,
but for the depth of our faith?

Title:    K. Gordon's notebook
Location: On the teacher's desk in the south hallway classroom, Church
          upper level.
Content:

There's a girl named Alessa
in my class. If your memory is
any good, you may remember her.
She's the one I said they called
a witch.

Most likely her mother is
abusing her.
I've never seen her come in without
some sort of scrape or bruise.
Her expression is pitifully dark
for a 6-year-old.

Something like this may not
be so uncommon.
Rather than coming up with
pointless ideas, it's best just
to watch and wait.

But isn't there something
I can do to help?
I'm considering consulting a lawyer,
but I do have my reservations.
That's why I thought I'd ask you,
my friend, for your opinion first.

Title:    Claudia's diary
Location: On the bookshelf in the southernmost room in the south hallway
          of the Church's upper level.
Content:

November 10

She didn't die then; she was born.
I knew that for a fact.

But then why haven't I found her
yet? They were supposed to need
her power to build Paradise, for the
happiness of the people.

She was supposed to be reborn
for that.

I'd really like to see her.

November 14

Read "The Book of Praise."
I want to thank Father for lending me
such an invaluable book.

I found what I'd been searching for
in there -- how to awaken God.
But it's much too cruel.

Will I be able to pull it off when
I see her?

November 16

I was free all day, so I read "A
Modern History of Refugees" and
"Young Slaves: Child Exploitation."

I don't want to be a mere bystander
in this world. I can't do anything
now, though, and that's what's hard.

Aglaophotis

Red liquid or crystals resembling
blood. According to the Kabbalah,
the name is taken from an herb with
the power to dispel evil spirits. It is
said to grow in Arabian deserts.

It may be vaporized or applied as
a poultice to guard against demons.
It is powerful, but as it is rare, it is
extremely difficult to obtain.

I don't know how, but I can sense it.

But she's not the only one there.
I sense the presence of something

Nevertheless, I will open the door.
Enough of this idle chit-chat.
"God" I'm not, but I fully intend
to save her... no, them.

Title:    Sketchbook (Normal Riddle Level)
Location: On the bed in Alessa's bedroom in the west of the Church's lower
          level.
Content:

The door sure does rattle,
 but it's stuck tight.
A secret is hidden out
 of your sight!
You may be thinking,
 "What could it be?"
You'll need five magic cards
 if you want to see.

What to do, then,
 with all these?
I'll tell you straight
 and I won't tease--
Just as long as
 you say "please".

Now the first thing you must know
Is that there's something
 in each row.
But that is not the half of it:
Three would be too hard to fit.

The upside-down man
 under the ground:
To his right, to his left,
 there's no one around.
Leave him alone, though
 his tears are profound.

The moon is up above the sky,
Full or crescent, floating high.
Twinkling light sits like a crown
On the head of a crazy clown.

Your Excellency,
 praying to God most high
Do you think you
 can tell me why
You always look up
 at the night sky?

Do you have it now?
 You didn't forget?
One major point you
 must not omit.
And now at the last,
 before you take a whack
Here's one more hint to
 help keep you on track.

Scary and hateful, that
 thing in the night
Better be careful --
 it's not on your right!
Turn to the left and
 you'll keep it in sight.

So you'll open the door?
 I'm just sure that there'll
Be nothing beyond it but
 frightening peril.
Forget about that!
 Just stay and play!
Or else I'll be left
 here alone all day.

Title:    Dad's notebook
Location: Handed to Heather by Douglas after leaving Daisy Villa
          Apartments.
Content:

I hope this will never come to
any use; maybe it's better if
you never know.
More than anything else, I fear
the possibility of your going
away, far from me.

But sometimes we have to
tell the truth.
That's why I'm writing this, before
I'm lost in death and oblivion.

What happened back then?
That has something to do
with who you are.

It all started 24 years ago. Coming
back from a vacation, my wife and
I found a baby on the side of the
highway. Since we were childless,
we thanked God for letting us meet
this child...this girl. We took her
home.

3 years later, my wife died, and
another 4 years later -- 17 years
ago -- I came to Silent Hill.
I heard the girl's pleas and took
her with me, not knowing why
she wanted us to go there.

And it was there that the girl went
away. Not that she actually went
anywhere, nor did she die.
"Returned to her original self"...
that's what Dahlia Gillespie said.

"Original self"... That was the young
woman burned by her mother as a
sacrifice to God...Alessa Gillespie.

Half her soul escaped in those
flames and went on to live in a
baby...in that girl of mine. Of ours.

7 years passed before that half-a-girl
returned to Silent Hill and made
Alessa whole again. Newly
strengthened, she vowed to kill God.

God, a fetus nestled into this
sacrificial girl's womb, was
summoned with the usual rites.
This was Alessa's wish, no matter
what the outcome---even if her
own existence were at stake.

But that wish was not granted.
My interruption meant she prayed
instead for the girl's return.
I alone couldn't bring her back.

Dahlia did it---I only helped at the
birthing ceremony, to bring God out
of Alessa.

The newly-born God wailed
once and was dead.
All from that girl's---and probably
Alessa's---conscious resistance.

That's not the end.
After God had vanished in a glow
of light, Alessa reappeared and
gave me a baby.
She looked a lot like that girl so
long ago.

And then Alessa was gone, dead.
There was nothing I could have
done to help.
I simply clutched the baby to
my chest and ran off.

The whole thing felt like a dream,
but I had proof that it wasn't.
The girl was nowhere to be found,
and in my arms...the baby.

Now 17 years have passed.
It feels like only yesterday, and
again it feels like a million years ago.

I confess I had reservations at
first about raising that baby.
Could I love her?
Her existence was thoroughly
unexplainable.

I thought, "She could be that young
woman who snatched away my
beloved daughter." That led to
sadness, anger...there were times
when I put my hands around her
tiny little throat.

Several times I even considered
abandoning her.
That's what a terrible person I am.

But I decided to raise her after all.
I just couldn't seem to let her go.
When she...when you look at me,
you laugh, so...

Even now, I can't forget
about that girl.
But I love you. I have no doubts
about that. That's all I ask you
to believe.

To my precious daughter...

Title:    Douglas's notebook
Location: On a chair inside the Fortune House in the next area after
          meeting Douglas in Lakeside Amusement Park.
Content:

Client: Claudia Wolf
Request: Searching for (then infant)
Alessa Gillespie, kidnapped by man
named Harry Mason.

No word from police.
Kidnap location unknown.

Old Silent Hill newspaper article:
Alessa Gillespie (7) dead in fire.

Links to current case?
To be investigated. Priority: low.

Using alias "Heather."
Neighbors do not know real name.
What is she hiding.

According to records, 24 years old.
Client says looks 17---plausible?

Lived in Portland 'til 12 years ago.
Got wrapped up in a murder case;
Harry shot suspect.

Justifiable self-defense, so no
punishment. Moved away
immediately after, started to use
alias.

Apparently no connection with the
criminal. Just some occult freak,
slightly off from way back.
Originally from Silent Hill?

Title:    Book: Otherworld Laws
Location: Handed to Heather by Vincent in the Church's upper level
          library.
Content:

This magic square, with strong
protective and dispelling properties,
is called the "Virun VII Crest" or
the "Seal of Metraton."

It will bring results regardless of
whether the target is good or evil;
its strength, therefore, places a very
high burden on the caster. As it is
also difficult to control, it is not
usually used.

This is why it bears the name
"Metraton," after the angel
Metatron (or Metraton), also
known as the "Agent of God."

Title:    Cassette tape
Location: On the desk in the bedroom of the second hallway of the Church's
          upper level. To listen to it, insert into the cassette player in
          the northern bedroom in the south hallway of the Church's upper
          level.
Content:

[After inserting into the cassette player, the following plays.]


Vincent: Do you know about what happened
         here 17 years ago?

         You've been here a long time.
         You must have heard some details.

Woman: A group of pagans, blinded by
       earthly desires, spit in the very
       face of God.

       They tried to use the Seal of Metatron
       to prevent God's awakening.

       But God drove the unbelievers away
       and threw them into the Abyss.

       But due to their wickedness, God
       was unable to be born properly.

       And so she has slumbered ever since
       in the womb of the Holy Mother.

       Until the time of the Awakening...

       That's all that I know.

Vincent: That's it, huh...

         Well, thanks.

Woman: Father Vincent.

       I heard that the Holy Mother has
       been found. Is it true?

Vincent: Alessa has been found?
         Did Claudia say that?

Woman: Yes.

Vincent: Then it must be true.
         Her Sight rarely fails her.

Woman: Bless the Lord!

Vincent: Maybe it's because of her great
         faith.

         But I could never be like her.
         I wouldn't want to.

Woman: Nor I.

       The truth is Sister Claudia frightens
       me a little.

Vincent: Well now, let's both show our faith
         by forgetting about this little talk.
         Okay?

Woman: Yes.

       But does that mean this land will
       finally be the Home of Eternal
       Paradise?

Vincent: If God wills it, my sister.
         If God wills it.
