Shepherd's Glen
- Run straight to the Town Hall to avoid taking any unnecessary damage, and enter. Aren't you glad we already went through here?
Town Hall
- You'll find a Smog blocking the left-hand hallway - head down the right one and enter the Save Point room to save your game. From there, hack open the door in the left-hand hallway to find a picture of Alex's ancestor. Push the bookshelf over and grab the Child's Drawing on the wall. Enter the middle room and use the key on the Cross keyhole in the pedestal to open a path underground. Follow it, and defeat the Nurses that appear.
- There are four books in this room - read through them, then examine the cross to obtain the Ceremonial Dagger. A flashback informs you that it's the key to open Adam's door in the "SECRET" section of Alex's basement. Use the dagger to unlock the door between the two books across from the entrance, and follow the tunnel until you find a ladder. Use it, and you'll find another door to use the Ceremonial Dagger on to unlock. When you open it, you'll find yourself back in Founders Garden of the Rose Heights Cemetery.
Rose Heights Cemetery
- Walk over to the door across from where you are and unlock it to find another Serum. There's a Health Drink in the furthest upper left corner of the Founders Garden area. Head back to the Founders Row, duck into the gap and follow the newly opened path. At the end of the hall behind the two Smogs are a box of Shotgun Ammunition, and a First Aid Kit. Duck into the next gap and climb up. Head back through the Crypts, using the Fire Axe to hack open the boarded entrance in Family Crypts North to obtain the Chrome Hammer Pistol. There's also a Save Point in Family Crypts North, so save your game.
- Continue backtracking to your backyard, avoiding the Smogs when possible.
Alex's House
- First, head in through the backdoor and use the Fire Axe to break down the barricade on the door to the dining room, and collect the First Aid Kit there. Then, head back outside and enter the basement through the backyard entrance.
- Head to the "SECRET" area on your map and use the Ceremonial Dagger to unlock Adam's Hunting Room. There's a Bluesteel Shotgun in here, and the Attic Key, so grab them. Head upstairs to the attic, and unlock the door with the Attic Key. Head through the door into the attic. Check the North section for a photo of Alex. Push the bookshelf over to find a door.
- CUTSCENE: Alex has a vision of Adam giving Joshua an important ring, and making him swear to never show it to anyone, not even Alex.
- When you enter, you'll find a document of Adam Shepherd's honorable discharge, and a book puzzle.
- Attic Book Puzzle
- Slide the pieces to form the coat of arms on the flag above the table. It's rather easy; just slide them around until the flag matches. For a hint, the open spaces will be in the top corners. Finish it to get a Letter from my father for Alex, and a Map of Silent Hill. Leave the attic, and head downstairs to trigger a cutscene.
- CUTSCENE: Alex demands information from his mother, but members of the Order, who kidnap his mother, attack them. The house undergoes a transformation as a Hellstate occurs, and Alex awakens.
Chapter Eight - The Attic
- Below are objectives and a step-by-step walkthrough for Chapter Eight.
Chapter Eight Objectives
- Escape the house.
- Solve each puzzle.
- YouTube: Silent Hill: Homecoming -56- Attic Puzzle (Time: 2:06)
- NOTE: You still have a map of this area - it's slightly different, but still available.
- First things first - defeat the Schism that appears. Walk into the kitchen and collect the Frowning Mask from the stand. Grab the Health Drink, and head through the single door to the East to find two bodies on either side of a cross - it's another puzzle, but you don't have everything you need yet.
- There's a lever by the stairs, pull it to open the way into the attic. Head upstairs, and push the large piece of furniture in the room leading to the attic to obtain the Heart of Darkness Medal. Head to the attic, and move through the now-typical obstacles (squeeze through, duck under, hop over) until you reach the East side - there you'll find a Fallen Star Medal and a Jacket. The Jacket is where you'll be placing the Medals you collect - head to the West side of the attic to acquire the Vile Acts Medal. Head back to the Jacket, and place the Medals in the following order - Fallen Star Medal, Heart of Darkness Medal, Vile Acts Medal. This will cause one of four runes around the exit will light up.
- Head back to the 2nd floor, and grab the Meat Cleaver from the bureau. Then, head through the double doors, jump across the gap, and grab the Stuffed Rabbit from the bathtub, and the Indifferent Mask from the stand by the mirrors. Head back downstairs, and pull the lever again to open the door to what was Josh and Alex's room. Head in, read the creepy message on the wall, and examine the document by the door to hear about the lobotomy from Alchemilla Hospital again. Set the clock in the room to 2:06 to open the four windows. Place the Stuffed Rabbit in the lit window to cause a rune to glow at the exit. Cut open the door by the clock to find a Butcher Knife and a Child's Drawing. Head downstairs to the room Alex's mother was in and collect the Angry Mask and save your game.
- Open the door to the kitchen and head back to the Cross Puzzle, and place the Indifferent Mask on the body facing South, and the Frowning Mask on the body facing North. Another rune around the door will glow. Time to head into the basement.
- When you enter the basement, work your way through and defeat the Lurker that appears. Duck under the pipes, squeeze through the gap, and cut open the door. You'll be in the Hellstate version of Adam's Hunting Room - grab the Bogeyman Knife from the Schism body hanging on the wall. Place the knives in your inventory in their spots on the board, and the Bogeyman Knife in the Schism head laying there to cause a third rune to glow around the exit.
- Go to the exit and use the door - the house will revert to it's normal state. Alex will exit.
- CUTSCENE: Elle shows up, and tells Alex she can't find her mother. Wheeler calls Alex on the radio, and Alex asks him to get them a boat to get to Silent Hill. Alex and Elle talk on the boat as they head to Silent Hill, until the Order shows up and kidnaps Elle. Alex is knocked off the boat into the water, and awakens in a foggy area.
Chapter Nine - Dark Times
- Below are objectives and a step-by-step walkthrough for Chapter Nine.
Chapter Nine Objectives
- Find Elle.
- Search for a way into the prison.
- Disable the electric prison gate.
- NOTE: You already obtained the map for this area when you found the Map of Silent Hill in Alex's attic.
- Work your way up the stairs, jumping across gaps and climbing the ladder, and duck through the gap to Sagan St. Walk across the street to trigger a cutscene.
- CUTSCENE: Wheeler calls Alex on the radio, and informs him that he and Elle were taken to the prison.
- You'll want to stop at the Bait Shop and duck through the gap to find a box of Pistol Ammunition, a Child's Drawing, and a Save Point. Head across the plank bridge to the front of the Overlook Penitentiary to find out that the entrance isn't accessible. Go out the West door to the next section of the map. You'll see a gate circled on Simmons St., and the Toluca Lake Water and Power building will be circled.
- Head to the gate.
- CUTSCENE: Alex calls Wheeler to tell him the rear gate is electrified - the Order is running power directly from Toluca Lake Water and Power to do it, so Alex is going to head there to shut it off.
- Head to the Boiler Room.
Boiler Room
- Head down the stairs. There's a Lurker here, so be careful when moving around in the water.
- Grab the Health Drink from near the northernmost boilers, and head up the West stairs.
- Head West out of the alley, and go through the gates on your left to find a Serum on the bench. It's the indent of the Alchemilla Hospital. Head North up Wilson St. and into the Toluca Lake Offices.
Toluca Lake Offices
- Read the newspaper, and grab the Pistol Ammunition in the top right corner of the Reception room. Head North the Lower Landing, then West to the Office. Grab the Health Drink, then go south and jump the gap to find a Save Point. Hack open the door to continue.
- Head into the Kitchen to find the Toluca Lake Water and Power Key. Head back to the Lower Landing, and use the key on the locked door to get into the Toluca Lake Water and Power building.
Toluca Lake Water and Power
- YouTube: Silent Hill: Homecoming Power Plant (Time: 10:43)
- There are some Order members here - defeat them, and earn yourself the Out of Order Achievement. Move south and climb up the ledge. Climb the ladder and walk over to the shelf to collect two boxes of Rifle Ammunition. There's a First Aid Kit in the top left corner of the 2nd floor, so grab it, use the valve for generator bank B, and head back downstairs.
- There's some Pistol Ammunition near the bottom right area of the 1st floor, be sure to grab it. Use the valve for generator bank A, then head upstairs and use the valve for generator bank C. This is the proper order to shut down the systems - use the Turbine Control switch after the short cutscene to kill the power. More Order members will appear, head back out to the Toluca Lake Offices.
Toluca Lake Offices
- Stop by the save point to save your game, then head out of the Toluca Lake Offices and back to the Boiler Room.
Boiler Room
- Head back through the Boiler Room, defeating or avoiding the Lurker when it appears, and exit through the North back onto Simmons St. When you reach the now-safe gate, a Siam will bust through. Defeat it with whatever weapon you're comfortable with, and head through the gate.
