Silent Hill 3: FAQs and Walkthrough with Synopsis U.S. Version Written by Collin Lee (adarkervision(at)yahoo(dot)com) Copyright September of 2003 by Collin Lee Version 2.0 UPDATE NOTE: The guide was updated again in September of 2008, five years after I originally wrote it. In the meantime I've become a father, and as such haven't written any new guides or had the time to even update this one, so this update was a large one, the culmination of several years more experience in the game, growth of my knowledge through reading and education, and tons of e-mails from the very, very helpful folk who love the series as much as I do. Where appropriate, I've added a notation as to who it was who helped me where it was needed. If your name isn't on here and you feel it should be, please send me a note and I'll fix it; it may just be that I've gotten multiple e-mails on the same tip, and lost track of just who told me what. That having been said, here's the things that were added in Version 2.0: Expanded the Valtiel Section significantly, added the solution to the royal flush t-shirt (and that was a beast), added a number of new references to horror movies, books, and so on, added notes on secrets and easter eggs that I hadn't seen or understood five years ago, and added new tricks, camera hacks and cheats from the PC version of the game, which didn't exist when this guide was originally written. -GUIDE OUTLINE- I.

HOW TO GET A PERFECT RANKING VI. Final Review VII. Conclusion and Farewell I. Introduction Good evening ladies and germs. You are about to take a journey into one of the darkest and most frightening games of all time, Silent Hill 3. Silent Hill has always been my favorite vacationing spots: there is something about its dark and nightmare haunted streets and the sound of the howls of the damned echoing off of Taluca Lake that has made me want to return to this town again and again. If this is your first foray into the town that sanity forgot, I envy you: you are in for an unforgettable horror treat like no other. However, if you haven't played the previous games in the series, I suggest you do so before playing venturing further into Silent Hill 3. Unlike Silent Hill 2, which was more of a spiritual successor, taking place in the same town as the original Silent Hill game, and thus could be played by itself without having played the first game, Silent Hill 3 is a direct sequel to the original Silent Hill. It follows up on characters, locations, and events that took place in the original game, and while it does a very good job of summarizing the important bits of the first game, there is no substitute for first-hand knowledge. And since the original Silent Hill is still one of the best and most frightening games ever, you should play the first game simply because it is a real treat. That having been said, here is a little history on the series. Silent Hill was originally published for the Sony Playstation in 1999 by Konami, and was an instant classic. Often compared to Resident Evil due to its survival horror roots, Silent Hill took a different approach to the genre than Capcom's B-movie zombie shooter. While Resident Evil put its emphasis on combat against the undead and "boo" scary frights, Silent Hill focused on ambience and psychological horror. Where Resident Evil had highly trained soldiers and police officers as the main protagonists, Silent Hill had a simple writer lost and out of his element. This meant that he was not nearly as adept with his weapons as he could have been, got more and more tired as he ran throughout the large town, and seemed constantly to be almost overwhelmed by the horrors around him.
