Martyrs Will Burn In Hell
No time to waste. Cheryl must be somewhere around the Lake, we must find her. Armed with resolve (and chainsaw) we go back onto the snowy dark streets of the resort area...
Where are we ?
It's time we crossed that bridge and search the rest of the area...
HUH ?
What's going on ?!!
:SIRENS:
:SIRENS:
:SIRENS:
Uh-oh...
Rather than shifting from reality to a nightmare, this is more like reality becoming a nightmare. I don't like this feeling. It's like something bad is about to happen...
Something wicked this way comes, folks. Behind us the bridge descends into nothingness. No way back, only forward.
We head west, fighting tooth and nail with creatures of nightmare.
There's an opened door here, let's check it out.
We find a hellhound, but nothing more of importance. Only the mark of Samael that is adorning the walls...
Outside, a sign advertises the local amusement park ...a memory of carefree happiness among this madness.
The road leading to the park has vanished, leaving this line of investigation dead. Let's see what else is here in this area :
We haven't visited the lighthouse yet, time to head that way.
We run like hell, evading murderous monsters along the way... The main bridge is closed, so we head down the stairs.
Hmm, there's a boat here. Maybe we should check it out.
It doesn't look inviting. No sir.
:cracking sound:
Huh ? I think I heard something beyond those doors...
Who's there ?
Harry !
How did you get back here ?
I followed the sewer. Were you the one who cut out the fence ?
Yeah. I'm glad you made it. I was worried about you.
*You* were worried ?! Where did you disappear to ?
...uh...
I just want to know what's going on here. What is with this town ?
The million dollar question...
This may sound really off the wall, but listen to me. You've got to believe me. I haven't gone crazy, and I'm not fooling around.
...
At first, I thought I was losing my mind. But now I know I'm not. It's not me. This whole town... it's being invaded by the Otherworld.
The Otherworld ?
A world where someone's nightmarish delusions have come to life... Little by little the invasion is spreading, trying to swallow up everything in darkness.
Harry, hold on a minute. I don't get it.
Look, I don't understand it all myself. I... guess i can't explain it.
Well, what's making this happen ?
I don't know that either. But I do know Cheryl is "there".
"There"...?
Under whoever created this darkness. Cheryl is somewhere. And she needs my help.
Harry. This whole thing's been a major blow to you. You need to rest.
Cybil, I...
WHEN SUDDENLY !
The old hag !
Dahlia Gillespie !
Was it not as I said ? I see it all now. Yes, everything. Hungry for sacrifice, the demon will swallow up the land.
...?!
I knew this day would come... and what's more, the task is almost finished. There's only two left.
Two ?
To seal this town to the abyss, the mark of Samael. When it is completed, all is lost.
The dead will walk, and martyrs will burn in the fires of hell ! Everyone will DIE !
Uh-oh. Harry looks pissed.
So what am I supposed to do ?! I've got to save Cheryl !!
It's simple. Stop the demon.
The demon ? What demon ?!
The demon taking that child's form. Stop it before your daughter becomes a sacrifice. Before it is too late.
How am I supposed to stop it ?
Go to the lighthouse on the lake, and to the center of the amusement park. Make haste. You are our only hope.
Cybil has silent all this time, as if trying to make up her mind about something. It seems the choice has been made...
I really don't get what's going on, but if there's a chance we can save your daughter, I'm in.
...Thanks.
I'll check out the amusement park. You, go to the lighthouse.
And with that "No problemo" gesture, she leaves. However, the old hag hasn't said her last word.
Use what ?
The Flauros.
...You mean that pyramid-shaped thing ?
Only with that you can stop it.
Huh ?
She's gone.
And we're left alone. Alone, with an itch we can't scratch.
Itch ? No, more like a faint pulsing... hey it's that amulet again. Let's see if we can use it again in this place.
Whoa ! There are five of them now !
They spin around and then vanish once again. These close encounters of the third kind are getting more and more intense...
Bah, let's forget about it and look around :
We find some valuable supplies. Unfortunately, we can't use the boat for transportation.
Time to head out from the front side...
Great, the radio is hissing loudly and we can't see shit. Where's that damn monster ?
The fucker was hiding on the boat's roof !
It's gonna be a looong night...

Is it just me, or are the only real difficult enemies in this game Grey Children when massed? I'm replaying this on Hard Difficulty and once you get the shotgun and axe, dealing with enemies one or two at a time becomes trivial.
But then again, it could be just because I'm so badass

How is combat in this game overall? Combat in SH2 is ridiculously easy, but none of the enemies are designed to be that threatening (as in, if you ran into them IRL, they would be less dangerous than your average person), and seem mostly to be there to add to the mood. The monsters in SH3 are pretty dangerous, though. Don't remember much of 4, but I think it had some pretty difficult fights (and the fucking two-headed legless babies).

The combat difficulty doesn't change that much in hard. It's just that there are more enemies, they take more hits to die (I think) and you've got fewer ammo. You should really try to avoid most fights and especially the use of ranged weapons, or you could easily end up without ammo. If this happens in a boss-fight, you're screwed.

With the right weapon and the right move you can deal with most enemies in SH. The Shotgun and the rifle can get you quickly out of most situations, but as I've said, you don't have enough ammo to around shooting everyone. So basically you either have to use melee weapons, or run away. Some enemies can't be killed by melee weapons.
Compared to SH2 the combat is more difficult. I can't really remember SH3's combat difficulty though.

I'm comparing it to SH2, since I never played SH, but the combat was definitely a step up from the previous game. Especially these incredibly annoying flying enemies that had huge blades coming out of their bodies. I forgot what they were called, but they always made a very distinct sound that made you go "FUUUUU"
EDIT:
These things, apparently they were called Pendulums

You pretty much have to run away from 80% of all enemies in SH3. Even two at a time and you're screwed. I think there are some you actually can't kill too. As far as difficulty of the series is concerned, I'd rank the games
Silent Hill 3>Silent Hill 4>Silent Hill 1>Silent Hill 2
None of them are ball bustingly difficult, though, ala the Siren series (which make me
)
Also, I can only remember being actually, physically frightened by SH on a couple of occasions, and only in one of the games-- Silent Hill 2. The games aren't really scary to me, per-se, but disturbing, unsettling, and intensely surreal.
One thing that frustrates me about the first 4 SH games is that how in each successive iteration the amount of time spent actually exploring the city is drastically reduced. Ie. Silent Hill 1 had the most, while SH4 had none. Silent Hill 1 has a very different atmosphere because of this as compared to the rest of the series. I love scrounging through abandoned shops and houses in SH1, looking for ammo and healing items, or just a place to save (save states are for pussies). If SH is ever revived (which it most likely won't be) it needs to have more survival elements like that.

Chapter 23, huh ? We've gone far. I think it's time we had a look at our mysterious cast :
HARRY MASON
Our protagonist has had it rough. What started as a nice vacation to the resort town of Silent Hill, became a horrible nightmare. He was engaged in a car accident, we woke up in a deserted misty town filled with monsters, and his daughter is missing. He must find her, but it's not easy. It's like he's living in someone else's nightmare. Something has happened to the town... he has heared rumors about an old cult, about a special drug developed only in this area. Some kind of ritual may be taking place and the mark of Samael has started to appear around town. His daughter has somehow gotten involved in this and he must save her, as soon as possible, because things are only getting worse.
Trait: The only thing he really cares about is his daughter, everything else can go to hell... and it probably will.
CHERYL MASON
Harry's daughter has gone missing. In the beginning Harry thought he saw her figure in the mist but then he lost track of her. Nevertheless, it seems she has tried to leave signs behind for Harry to follow. When Harry picked up a dead phone in the elementary school, he heard her voice calling for him. She also suddenly appeared in the town center's screens, crying desperately for his help. What has happened to her ? What is her connection with what's going on in the town ? Has she been taken to be offered as a sacrifice to what unholy demon of the underworld is trying to take over Silent Hill ?
Trait: She's cute and in grave danger.
CYBIL BENNETT
She came to Silent Hill from a nearby town to find out why communications have stopped. She found Harry unconscious and gave him a gun for protection. Then she tried to leave town to get re-enforcements, but she was unable to find a way out of Silent Hill. It seems she hasn't seen the same horrors as Harry and she is rather skeptical of what he's telling her about his experiences. Nevertheless, she has agreed to do her best to help him find his daughter.
Trait: Her tight leather pants really compliment her well-shaped buttocks.
DHALIA GILLESPIE
This mysterious old woman appeared to Harry in the Balkan Church. It seems she had been tolling the bells to get him there. She hints that she knows what is going on in this town but she is rather cryptical about it. Whatever the case, she says that she needs Harry's help and she tells him that he's the only one that can do something about what's going on in Silent Hill. She told him that a demon from the underworld is trying to swallow up the town. This may be true as sometimes Harry gets shifted to another, much darker Silent Hill, where everything is hellish. Up to now she has been pointing Harry to the right direction, but what is her actual role in all of this ? She knows too much and she reveals almost nothing. Can she really be trusted ?
Trait: She's an old-hag at max level.
MICHAEL KAUFMANN
He and Harry first met in the Hospital and he told him that he's a doctor. He claims he knows nothing about what has happened in this town, but his behavior is rather suspicious. It seems he's always in a hurry and it looks like he's somehow connected to the local drug trafficking. Could he also be a member of the local cult ? Is he friend or foe ? Whatever the case he doesn't look like a man to be taken lightly. Word of wisdom : don't ever try to snatch his suitcase, it's very important to him.
Trait: He likes to use old-school phrases like "flapping your gums".
LISA GARLAND
She's a nurse at the local Hospital. She too claims ignorance of what has happened to the town, but she told Harry some of the local history. She mentioned her fears that the rumors about the old cult may be true and that they may be behind all this. She also told Harry that Dhalia was rumored to be somewhat mad, after her daughter died in a fire. She doesn't seem to know about the mysterious facility Harry found in the basement of the Hospital. She's scared, but reluctant to leave the hospital. Strange thing is that Harry has only met her in the "other" Silent Hill...
Trait: She has a tendency of falling into Harry's arms.
ALESSA
Harry has been seeing this young schoolgirl, briefly, in dream-like moments. She could be the figure that stepped in-front of his car and caused the accident. Her picture was found in one of the rooms in the basement facilty of the Hospital. Was she treated there ? What is her connection with the recent events in Silent Hill ? When Harry asked Kaufmann if he knows her he gave him a quick negative response.
Trait: When she appears things happen.
SILENT HILL
In the old days it was a reclusive place and people living there were kept to themselves. It seems a strange religion/cult took form at some point. In the recent years the town was reformed as a resort area, tourists came in, and Silent Hill became wealthy. Seven years ago though, a big fire burned part of the town and afterwards things weren't the same. The amount of tourists coming to town gradually decreased and strange deaths started to occur. A drug ring appeared, trafficking a new drug that seemed to be created from a local flower. Could it be that the old cult came back ? What of the nightmare Harry's been experiencing, what of the monsters, the hellish visions ? Why has the mark of Samael appeared in Silent Hill ?
Trait: It's foggy, it's disturbing, it's scary.
Indeed, what of the monsters ? There have been many things that have tried to kill Harry recently. Are they real, do they come from another world, or are they simply the manifestation of someone's delusions ?
CREEPER
The look like huge cockroaches and they attack Harry Mason by nipping at his ankles. Their small size and flat bodies make them difficult targets, however, you can stomp on the creatures in order to kill them. You'll have to shoot them first, get them on their back and then smash their filthy gland with your foot.
BLOODSUCKER
The Bloodsucker is a creature resembling three leeches fused together at the base, which writhes like octopus tentacles. If you get close it will leech on Harry and start drinking his blood. They can't be killed, but they can be tricked. It is impossible to totally avoid tentacle rape in Silent Hill.
PUPPET NURSE
Puppet Nurses are monstrous nurses wearing old-fashioned uniforms. Large, slug-like parasites grow out of their backs, causing the nurses to hunch forward when they walk. They attack with a knife and a mean disposition. The hammer can keep them at bay, if it's only one of them. If they're many, make for the shotgun and make a prayer.
PUPPET DOCTOR
They are possessed by the same parasite infesting the Puppet Nurses, causing them to also have a similar hunchbacked appearance. They wear standard hospital gear, including a white lab coat and tie. If they try to examine you, politely decline. If they try to give you anal probing, reply with a hammer on their head.
NIGHT FLUTTER
The Night Flutter is an alternate version of the Air Screamer, its head has been replaced with a solid mass of worms, and its body is more humanoid in shape. It appears in the "other" version of silent Hill. You can shoot it, or run. You better run.
WORMHEAD
Worm Heads are essentially upgraded versions of the Groaners. Due to Silent Hill's corruptible force, the Groaner transforms into a more grotesque and powerful creature. Its head is completely covered in what seems to be a mass of worms (hence the name) and it has gained more mass than its Fog World counterpart.
HANGED SCRATCHER
They are known to attack from the ceiling, or below. Due to the excessive darkness within the sewers, and the fact that Harry Mason's radio doesn't work underground, they can easily surprise you. Fairly slow, Hanged Scratchers compensate for their lack of speed with reach and endurance. They also prove quite diligent in pursuing prey once they've caught sight of it. It is best to use the hammer or a firearm on them. Closing sewer doors on their face also works.
Wow, that was one long intro. Last time we left Harry as he emerged from the front side of the barge. Our destination is set, we must reach the lighthouse.
On top of the stairs a romper is waiting for us, but we use the bars for cover and easily take him down with the chainsaw.
The way is blocked once more, so we'll have to use the side-way...
:RADIO HISS:
:WINGS FLUTTERING:
It tried to ambush us from behind, but we scared it away... we must move fast.
...oh shit
Only the rifle can save us from this situation.
Our view is very limited and those flying bastards can be a pain in the ass, fortunately we get one of them.
Another dead end. Where are we ?
We're getting close and enemies are starting to attack us in numbers.
We're nearly there, we run as fast as we can...
Here it is. I wonder what we'll find inside.
Well, we found a save point, so we better save. I have a feeling things will get ugly soon. Only way to go is up.
WHAT THE-
This doesn't look good...
Gone... It was Alessa, no mistake about it.
We were too late, the mark of Samael has been set upon this place. All around us lies a dark void...
Suddenly, we get an urge to get hold of the channeling stone...
Whoa, there's a whole fleet of those things !
:gulp: they're coming closer !!
Holy shit, they really are aliens !
OMG ! We've made contact with intelligent beings from outer space ! Maybe we should greet them to earth, ask them if they built the pyramids... get Mulder out of the madhouse, he's been right all along !
Fuck that, we're in Silent-Fucking-Hill and we've got more important things to worry about. Maybe these bug-eyed aliens know something about Cheryl...
Whoops. Wrong question.
Thus, Harry became another victim of Alien abduction...
And that was the secret UFO ending !
Without a walkthrough I would imagine getting this ending would be very difficult, since you have to use the stone in specific places, without having any clues. As for the ending itself, obviously it's a reference from the developers to their favorite UFO movies.
Ok, let's see our stats :
Not bad. Afterwards, we can create a special "Next Fear" savegame. If we load it, we'll start the game again and in our inventory we'll find the Hyper Blaster. It's a laser-like gun that rarely misses and has infinite ammo. It's not very powerful though, so it's not game-breaking. If you finish this new game with a very good rank, next time the hyper blaster will be much more powerful.
Actually, there's another way to obtain it when playing the game in a real PSX. If you have Konami's old game gun, plug it in to controller port 2 before you start the game. Load up the game and in your inventory you will now have the hyperblaster. You can even use the konami gun to shoot.
Well, it seems like I finished the game. See ya !

The Night Flutter is an alternate version of the Air Screamer, its head has been replaced with a solid mass of worms, and its body is more humanoid in shape. It appears in the "other" version of silent Hill. You can shoot it, or run. You better run.
Worm Heads are essentially upgraded versions of the Groaners. Due to Silent Hill's corruptible force, the Groaner transforms into a more grotesque and powerful creature. Its head is completely covered in what seems to be a mass of worms (hence the name) and it has gained more mass than its Fog World counterpart.
They are known to attack from the ceiling, or below. Due to the excessive darkness within the sewers, and the fact that Harry Mason's radio doesn't work underground, they can easily surprise you. Fairly slow, Hanged Scratchers compensate for their lack of speed with reach and endurance. They also prove quite diligent in pursuing prey once they've caught sight of it. It is best to use the hammer or a firearm on them. Closing sewer doors on their face also works.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::..::::::::::::::::::::::::::Wow, that was one long intro. Last time we left Harry as he emerged from the front side of the barge. Our destination is set, we must reach the lighthouse.
On top of the stairs a romper is waiting for us, but we use the bars for cover and easily take him down with the chainsaw.
The way is blocked once more, so we'll have to use the side-way...
:RADIO HISS:
:WINGS FLUTTERING:
It tried to ambush us from behind, but we scared it away... we must move fast.
...oh shit
Only the rifle can save us from this situation.
Our view is very limited and those flying bastards can be a pain in the ass, fortunately we get one of them.
Another dead end. Where are we ?
We're getting close and enemies are starting to attack us in numbers.
We're nearly there, we run as fast as we can...
Here it is. I wonder what we'll find inside.
Well, we found a save point, so we better save. I have a feeling things will get ugly soon. Only way to go is up.
WHAT THE-
This doesn't look good...
Gone... It was Alessa, no mistake about it.
We were too late, the mark of Samael has been set upon this place. All around us lies a dark void...
Suddenly, we get an urge to get hold of the channeling stone...
Whoa, there's a whole fleet of those things !
:gulp: they're coming closer !!
Holy shit, they really are aliens !
OMG ! We've made contact with intelligent beings from outer space ! Maybe we should greet them to earth, ask them if they built the pyramids... get Mulder out of the madhouse, he's been right all along !
Fuck that, we're in Silent-Fucking-Hill and we've got more important things to worry about. Maybe these bug-eyed aliens know something about Cheryl...
Whoops. Wrong question.
Thus, Harry became another victim of Alien abduction...
And that was the secret UFO ending !
Without a walkthrough I would imagine getting this ending would be very difficult, since you have to use the stone in specific places, without having any clues. As for the ending itself, obviously it's a reference from the developers to their favorite UFO movies.
Ok, let's see our stats :
Not bad. Afterwards, we can create a special "Next Fear" savegame. If we load it, we'll start the game again and in our inventory we'll find the Hyper Blaster. It's a laser-like gun that rarely misses and has infinite ammo. It's not very powerful though, so it's not game-breaking. If you finish this new game with a very good rank, next time the hyper blaster will be much more powerful.
Actually, there's another way to obtain it when playing the game in a real PSX. If you have Konami's old game gun, plug it in to controller port 2 before you start the game. Load up the game and in your inventory you will now have the hyperblaster. You can even use the konami gun to shoot.
Well, it seems like I finished the game. See ya !
