Silent Hill 2 Remake: how to see all the endings in 2 games

The narrative of Silent Hill 2 Remake includes a total of eight unique endings, each requiring specific actions to unlock. Some of these endings are not accessible during your initial playthrough. However, with a bit of planning, you can achieve all endings in just two sessions instead of having to complete each one separately. This guide will help you navigate this process smoothly.

First Playthrough: Meeting Ending Conditions

During your first playthrough, your primary aim is to focus on the endings that have particular requirements. If you prefer to explore the game without concentrating on the endings initially, you can also access these endings in a New Game Plus mode.

It’s crucial to interact with the character María, as her dialogues will unlock additional prerequisites for the endings.

• First and foremost, make sure to avoid examining the Photo of Mary, the Letter from Mary, or Angela’s Knife.
• Your health level won’t impact the three endings since you can adjust the point system to influence the outcomes right at the conclusion.
• Complete the requirements for the María ending, which involves engaging in conversations with her in the West Side and Brookhaven Hospital.
• When you reach the Lakeview Hotel (Other World), make a manual save as soon as you enter the room with the nine red save squares.
• This save will allow you to easily change the endings later on.
• Proceed and fulfill the requirements for María: enter the door with the Scarlet Egg without listening to the conversation at the end of the hallway.
• Reload your save and enter the door where you place the Rusty Egg.
• While in the hallway with Mary’s voice echoing, examine Angela’s Knife at least once. It’s recommended to examine it multiple times (examine, zoom in, close, and repeat) while Mary is speaking.
• By defeating the final boss, you should unlock the Underwater Ending.
• Reload your saved game and re-enter the door where the Rusty Egg is placed.
• This time, you need to listen to all of Mary’s dialogue and examine both the Photo of Mary and the Letter from Mary. Similar to the knife, examine the photo several times (the letter can only be examined once).
• If all goes well, you’ll unlock the Leave Ending.

Second Playthrough: Unlocking Remaining Endings

In your second playthrough, you’ll shift your focus to unlocking the other endings: Rebirth, Dog, UFO, Serenity, and Happiness. This section is still being refined, but here are some general strategies:

For these endings, you’ll need to collect certain items and fulfill unique conditions that differ from the first set. Pay close attention to the dialogues and interactions that will guide you toward unlocking these endings.

With careful planning and persistence, you can experience all the endings within just two playthroughs, making your journey through Silent Hill 2 Remake both efficient and fulfilling.
