Silent Hill Cheats

Extra options:
Press L1 or R1 at the options screen. An "Extra Options" menu with weapon control, blood color, view control, retreat turn, walk/run control, and auto aiming selections will appear.

True ending:
Finish the game with the best ending to get the Channeling Stone. You have to use this item in five different locations to get the true secret ending:

1. On the roof of the "Alternate School".
2. In the hotel parking lot.
3. The cabin of the boat.
4. Outside the entrance of the "Alternate Hospital".
5. On top of the lighthouse.

The first four can be done in any order, however use the stone as soon as you enter those locations. The fifth location must be the last place you use the stone.

Endings:

Bad: Do not save Cybil or Dr. Kaufmann
Bad+: Save Cybil but not Dr. Kaufmann
Good: Save Dr. Kaufmann but not Cybil
Good+: Save Cybil and Dr. Kaufmann

Hammer:
In the junked up hospital, go to the generator room in the basement. Look at the machine on the left. You will see the Hammer, which is the best hand to hand weapon.

Chain saw:
Finish the game. Save, then play again in Next Fear mode. Go to the gas station and pick up the gas box. In your map, look at Bloch Street. There should be a store three blocks away that is marked similar to "Chainsaws Goodstore". Go there, and in a broken window you will find the chain saw.

Rock Drill:
Finish the game. Start a new game and go to the gas station. Get the Gas Container and go to the first floor of the Bridge Control Room to find the Rock Drill.

Hyper Blaster:
The Hyper Blaster is obtained by unlocking the UFO ending, detailed below. REMEMBER: Channeling stone shows up on the Game Ending screen, not this weapon. The channeling stone is another possible item (in the convenience store in Next Fear mode if the game is completed with a Good+ rating). To get the UFO ending with it (and subsequently the Hyper Blaster immediately in the Next Fear mode), use the item at these locations:

Old Silent Hill: On the roof of the Alternate School
Alternate Central Silent Hill: Right outside the hospital before fighting the Moth/Adult Grub.
Resort Area: Norman's Motel, in front of the apartments
Alternate Resort Area: On the bridge of the boat.
Alternate Resort Area: Roof of lighthouse.

Zodiac Room:
In the room with the Zodiac Signs, click the digit according to the amount of limbs in the picture (from left to right; Sagitarrius:6, Taurus:4, Gemini:8).

Unlocking the Grim Reaper's door:
To unlock the Grim Reapers door in "nowhere", type ALERT on the panel next to the door.

The first step to save Cybil:
In the "normal" hospital, go to the kitchen. Get the plastic bottle by the sink. Then, go to the director's office and use the bottle on the red liquid on the floor. Later on in the game you use this on Cybil to save her from the creature that you see on the back of all the nurses in the "alternate" hospital.

Easy final Boss battle:
Before you go down the stairs to fight the final Boss, use up all of your ammunition for every gun by shooting them into the wall. The game recognizes that you have no ammunition to use to defeat the final Boss, and will automatically skip the Boss battle.

Katana:
Complete the game with the good ending to receive the katana. Save, then begin the game again. Play through until reaching the first house that was entered in old Silent Hill. Go to the door that was previously locked in the hallway to find the katana. Completing the game with the good ending will also allow access to the channeling stone.

Health drink:
Run all the way up Bachman Road and look on the left going north. Very close to the end/top of the road is your car with a health drink in it.

Valves in alternate school:
First, in the right valve: left, left; and in the left vallve: right.
