Now, Konami and Akira Yamaoka are not known for arbitrarily throwing stuff into the Silent Hill mythos just for kicks.

Since the song is from Cheryl's point of view looking into the future, who is Coleen? Is she a classmate? Is she possibly the sister of Andy, the neighbor boy from the play novel? Perhaps just a friend on the block? Family member of Harry's (such as a "cousin" to Cheryl/Heather)?

Gold & Silver Pipes - Throw your steel pipe into the sewers and answer the three questions as follows: No, No, Yes.

Easier Flamethrower and multiple game completions

Before completing the game, make sure you save relatively close to the last boss (to save time), then complete the game as normal. Save the results after the end credits. Load the game you saved before the last boss and defeat it again. Even though you did not go through the game again fully, this counts as another game completion. This is an easy way to get the flamethrower if you did not get it the first time. It's also a quick way to raise the bullet multiplier in the extra options.

Access beginner mode & extra options.

Like all the other Silent Hill press all four shoulder buttons on the options menu.

To access beginner fighting mode you have to die twice in the normal game. To change the fighting to beginner mode go to the extra options menu.

Extra scenes

First, use a memory card with at least one finished saved game file from Silent Hill 2. New interactions with some objects and new scenes will now be available. These scenes are similar or with some type of reference to the previous game. For example, Heather trying to look for something stuck into the toilet in the mall.

From when did Stanley know Alessa? By reading the diary he makes it very clear that he and Alessa once knew each other.

STANLEY COLEMAN'S DIARY: 1

This day has finally come.
That's right --- the day when you and I will meet.

I was always thinking of you, here in this gloomy cell.
I never even knew your name or face until today.

But now I know. I know you're the one I've
been waiting for.
And haven't you been waiting for me too?
Thats why you came to rescue me.

Oh, how I love you Heather.

I want to give you my prized doll, I made it to
commemorate our meeting,
the start of this everlasting love.
Ah, I can already see your smiling face.

Stanley Coleman


STANLEY COLEMAN'S DIARY (2)

You may not yet of realized your own feelings.
But you sense them unconsciously.
And so you're trying to get closer to me.
That's a virtue, that path to Paradise.

If the door's locked, open it. Use the password for
the prison gates. Doctor.... I've forgotten
his name. Anyway, that quack has it posted. He should
be here, too. I mean, 4 numbers would've been good enough,
but he kept on going.

Isn't it a shame? I'm not there. Aren't you irritated?
I long for you, but you're so cruel.
Still, I want you Heather.

Stanley Coleman


STANLEY COLEMAN'S DIARY (3)


The organization has me shut up in here. They mean to
break my will, to make me forget about all that.
But I'll stay sane even if they throw me in here with
lunatics. How about if I stick this to the wall?
That would be worthless.
You can peel it off, can't you, with that junk those
nasty wenches wont stop using.
If a thing has no meaning there's no reason for it
to exist at all. Just as you exist for me.
But why haven't you taken my doll with you?
Ah, my gift must've embarrassed you.
How cute you are, Heather!

Stanley Coleman


STANLEY COLEMAN'S DIARY (4)


Flowing feely, your ebony hair. Like the night sky,
seatting fragrance,
my heart, clamoring in my chest.
Like a storm you trifle with it, your pristine glance.
Like a feast, when you smile my thoughts, disturbed,
my breath like opium, it drives me mad.......
Eric, a great poet who conveys my feelings so well.
I shouldn't have let this place get to me, should never
have gone crazy.
But it's superbly enjoyable to drown in my love for you.
But why won't you accept proof of my love?
Don't stand on ceremony now.
After all, you and I exist as one.
What I give to you is the same as what I give to me.

STANLEY COLEMAN'S DIARY (5)

There was a tattooed guy on that rumpled bed.
Not anymore though.
That alarm clock and filthy bag are his.
Ah, but don't misunderstand. I haven't done a thing.
I didn't hate him, though he was a liar.
Shall I write something of my own?
On my chest, since I can't cut it open to show you my heart.
" I love Heather"
No, something a bit more forceful.
"I love Heather" isn't enough for what I feel.
Oh, what tender emotion this image brings.

Stanley Coleman



STANLEY COLEMAN'S DIARY (6)

Heather, my most sacred lover. I'm always watching you.
No matter where you are or what you may be doing,
I have never lost sight of you.
I know you feel intensely lonely.
Yet with a single key to this door, those feelings won't stand in
the way any longer.
We haven't been able to see each other for so long.
Be patient --- it's just a little longer.
I'll be patient, too, even though I long to hold you in
these hands of mine.
The key is behind the shelves in the underground garage.
Why there?
Ask that idiot doctor.
Theres not a single person here who's right in the head.
Not just in this hospital --- I mean in all of Silent Hill.

All the italicized parts suggest that Stanley and Alessa knew each other at one point.

What's perplexing are the various marriage tones to that diary. For example.

You may not yet of realized your own feelings.
But you sense them unconsciously.
And so you're trying to get closer to me.
That's a virtue, that path to Paradise.

He seems to be talking to Heather, telling her that the Alessa part of her needs to come out.

If a thing has no meaning there's no reason for it
to exist at all. Just as you exist for me.

This next part depending on your views could be a bit iffy. Some men especially back in the old times had the attitude that their wives existed only for them.

Flowing freely, your ebony hair. Like the night sky,

Heather has blonde hair (dyed), her hair is short. Stanley is describing a girl with long black hair.

Don't stand on ceremony now.
After all, you and I exist as one.
What I give to you is the same as what I give to me.

In some religions, especially the more Christian religions they believe that when a man and woman are married they become one. If this and that entry are any indication then at some point Stanley and Alessa (in a past life) were once married.

In that entry alone are at least 3 indications that at some point Alessa and Stanley knew each other, that they were once Sacred Lovers.

He also says that he's the only sane one in the town. He's right!

So what is up with this diary? In the normal world this would be some insane man, but Silent Hill isn't normal. For one thing we have seen a girl (Alessa) who has been reborn two times that we know of. The first as Cheryl, and then as Heather. Not to mention the possibility that she's also the one who offered the reed to the sun.

Now is it any shocker that I think Stanley could be the reincarnation of the man who offered the serpent?

Given the tone of the diary it sounds rather sexual in nature at some parts. However it would be impossible for Stan and Alessa to ever have had relations due to the following.

1. Alessa was still rather bandaged up and kept a secret from the public.
So there's no way that Stan would have ever seen Alessa during her 1972-1986 incarnation

Also shallow as all hell, but look at these two pictures.


  2Birth.jpg (Size: 146.32 KB / Downloads: 1)


  StAlessa.jpg (Size: 48.29 KB / Downloads: 1)

Is it just or me or do the women in the paintings look very very similar?

Same hair color and style
Same expression
Same style of clothing almost
Same face structure

(possibly the most shallow)

Look at the shoulder that's showing. Both women have a red strap showing.

Hmm...

Except me.

Stanley Coleman


In that entry alone are at least 3 indications that at some point Alessa and Stanley knew each other, that they were once Sacred Lovers.

He also says that he's the only sane one in the town. He's right!

So what is up with this diary? In the normal world this would be some insane man, but Silent Hill isn't normal. For one thing we have seen a girl (Alessa) who has been reborn two times that we know of. The first as Cheryl, and then as Heather. Not to mention the possibility that she's also the one who offered the reed to the sun.

Now is it any shocker that I think Stanley could be the reincarnation of the man who offered the serpent?

Given the tone of the diary it sounds rather sexual in nature at some parts. However it would be impossible for Stan and Alessa to ever have had relations due to the following.

1. Alessa was still rather bandaged up and kept a secret from the public.
So there's no way that Stan would have ever seen Alessa during her 1972-1986 incarnation

Also shallow as all hell, but look at these two pictures.

Is it just or me or do the women in the paintings look very very similar?

Same hair color and style
Same expression
Same style of clothing almost
Same face structure

(possibly the most shallow)

Look at the shoulder that's showing. Both women have a red strap showing.

Hmm...

Any thoughts?]]> https://survivalhorrorforum.com/showthread.php?tid=41 Sat, 02 Mar 2024 09:09:18 +0000 =AoD= Captain]]> https://survivalhorrorforum.com/showthread.php?tid=41
Has anyone here gotten the hidden secret to work where you stand at the edge before zapping the monster, examine the water, throw in your pipe, and get the fairy to appear and give you the gold and silver pipes? I have never even gotten a prompt to examine the water and have tried for an hour on end.

Is it just not possible in the PC version?]]>

If you take the UFO ending to be the correct ending of SH3, that means you basically take the UFO ending to be the correct ending for ALL the SH games. Not that you couldn't make a case out of it, but I haven't heard anyone make an interesting or semi-coherent case out of it since the first game.

That leaves two endings left. Someone stated that there are few happy endings in SH; even the apparent good ending from the first game was only a brief respite from the town for Harry and Heather. Despite all our best efforts (I played that first game some fifteen times, those bastards), Harry was dead. SH is not a fan of good triumphing over evil.

The "Heather" ending is the easiest to get, and basically the first one you get everytime through. In it, Heather sneaks up on Douglas, threatens to kill him (which is just the kind of situation you want to f*** around in), and then they leave together, presumably as SH turns back to normal.

Does this ending strike anyone else as somewhat, I don't know...strange? I've heard us youth are supposed to have tremendous recovery powers from traumatic events or whatever, but Heather's kind of chipper seems to be not quite the strong front it should, but really more of a genuine sense of happiness.

I bring that up to bring this up. At the end of the "Possessed" ending, the only other ending in this game, Heather becomes possessed much like Cybil from the first game, and kills Douglas.

And before either the Heather or Possessed ending, right after killing the final boss and Heather's emotional breakdown over her father and everything else, she walks away but pauses for a second, sensing something, and looks behind her. And sees...

We don't know what the hell she sees. But, given the minimum number of endings, several other elements from the game, and the fact that no matter which ending you get, Heather always sees SOMETHING right before the end, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Heather is possessed NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO. That's the true ending, and something which will have to come up in a future game. If you get "Heather", she's faking it and trying to act human, and if you get "Possessed", the true demon comes out and she kills Douglas basically out of spite.

I intend to try to prove this in a new thread later. I just had to get that out there because it's been driving me crazy. I don't think there's any other answer, and if you guys disagree, let me know why so I can try to prepare a defense.]]>

Does that mean Heather is walking around normal Silent Hill and the monsters are really people that she's killing or something?]]>
