7 UFO

Is James a clone?

• Direct Requirements: New Game+ and find the Blue Gem and listen to its sound to lead you to the end in several steps.

UFO endings are common in the Silent Hill series, and often serve a purpose that isn't done very well. In this ending, James summons a UFO with a rock. Then things It became a green silent film with a still frame. James sees another version of himself descend from a spaceship calling himself the Space James and the real James as a whole. Earth James was always a clone, and now the Space James, complete with alien life form, appears. That included inviting James back into space. It's definitely weird and not that it's not entertaining. But it's one of those things that it would have been nice to see improved for this remake.

6 stillness

• Direct Requirements: New Game + Chainsaw and Key of Sorrow required to begin the mission within the Lakeview Hotel that will lead to this end.

Stillness is the name of this ending. It's pretty simple but still looks scary. James was sitting in his car at the same rest stop where the players would start the game. He was talking to Mary, who then started talking back. Her hand then appears in the frame, and throughout the finale, other parts of Mary can be seen, but her face is always hidden. First-time players might expect a jump scare at this point, but nothing untoward happens. James is just delusional. Talking to my wife in the car, that's it.

5 in the water

Hear Mary's letter in full

• Some requirements: Take a lot of damage. Check important items like Mary's Letter, read notes, and ignore Maria.

In water it is similar to stillness. But players will be happier with this solution. It should be called Acceptance because the finale begins with James talking in the car to Mary, but then he admits that she isn't there. He questioned, looking at the back of the car again. To prepare players for the jump scare.

It won't happen again. And when the rain started pouring down, things turned black. The lake then appeared as characters gliding happily down the stream of light. Mary reads her own letter. It is revealed that James knew all along that she was dead. It's a bittersweet ending but beautiful in its simplicity.

4 Bliss

Home movies with a sense of dread

• Direct Requirements: New Game+ Get the Rusted Key and Cryptic Note, follow the instructions, drink White Claudia, and watch the tape in James' room.

Happiness can be interpreted in many different ways. It begins with James walking into a room, popping a tape into the VCR. This was a big game day in the late 90s or early 2000s. He watches himself film Mary as they're about to head home. As things were winding down, James gave the camera a strange look. Ignoring Mary's concerns that something was wrong. The tape stopped and things It zooms out to the room where James disappeared. Perhaps it is implied that James never left the house after picking up Mary. And this is all just a trick. Or maybe the smile he gave the camera was James admitting he was going to kill Mary when they got home. It's hard to say

3 dog

Oh, it was always a dog.

• Direct Requirements: New Game + Find the pieces to create the Dog Key. Open the observation room in the Lakeview Hotel.

Dog's ending is just as ridiculous as UFO's ending, however, due to the effort it took to produce it. Therefore it is considered a wonderful ending. James would walk into the control room and ask the person in the chair to reveal himself. When they do that It turned out that a dog was controlling Silent Hill all along. James knelt down. I don't know how to proceed. Instead of being mean The dog walked up to James and licked him. That's it. Silent Hill 2 It's one of the most tense and atmospheric horror games ever. The players deserved some lightness with this bizarre ending.

2 Maria

Sacrificing one love for another

• Some requirements: Check important things like Mary's letter, listen to Maria, and protect Maria.

Maria is a positive ending. It depends on how the player views it. It begins with James confronting Mary who expresses bitterness that he let her die. She then transforms into a monster. A boss battle ensues. And the player must defeat her one last time. Thanks to her death James was then able to go back and help Maria.

Now he has let Mary go and is willing to move on with a new woman. On the way back to the car Maria began to cough. And James told her that she should look at that. Could Maria have contracted a virus that ultimately led to Mary's illness? There's a lot to unpack here. But it was a bit of a betrayal for James to go back with Maria. Although it was good that he mentally let Mary go.

1 Born again

Summon the Old Gods

• Direct Requirements: New Game+ requires items such as Book of Crimson Ceremony, White Chrism, Obsidian Goblet, and Book of Lost Memories, and must be played in Normal mode.

Rebirth begins with a scene similar to Maria. But there's a twist: James tells this “Mary” that he knows she's Maria. She tries to trick him into cheating or selling his soul. Maria accepts. Then the boss fight begins. Afterward, James paddles a boat into the middle of the lake. Talk to Mary about the old gods and their ability to bring her back. It can be inferred that James killed Maria. Her body was taken into the boat. Then plans were made to sacrifice her to some ancient god to bring Mary back to life. James' role is a bit twisted because he still can't let go of the idea of ​​Mary. But it was interesting to see him paddle out into the dark.

leave

Is this the true end of Canon?

• Some requirements: Don't watch important items like Mary's Letter, don't read notes that don't have much to do with the mystery, heal often, and ignore Maria when possible.

A goodbye is the ending that brings all the pieces together. James confronts Mary's death in two brutal ways. Firstly, go through several boss fights. and secondly by seeing Mary in her sick state. It also connects things to Laura, a little girl, whose story would almost be thrilling if the player didn't get this ending.

Overall, this is what many consider the true ending. It didn't end happily at all. Because it will be a vent for the players to experience. Because the game is created in a vacuum. There will never be a truly “real” ending unless the Konami team or Bloober comes along and does what Square Enix does by doing it. Silent Hill 2-2–
