Golden Rules . . . *sh_mb_4* ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note: This will greatly help you confronting and fighting enemies which you will meet later in the game. 1. Do not fight all enemies. This is the no.1 rule. The most important one. It may seems to be odd for you but don't do it. As some of the monsters you will encounter cannot be killed by any means so just run from them (e.g. victims). 2. If you run in multiple enemies, the best way is knock down some of them then run as fast as you can. If they pursue you to the rest of the world, it's up to you if you will kill them or just run way. 3. Victims, wheel chairs and Walter are some of the enemies that cannot die. Eventually, if you keep running with them, you will be the one who will die. So avoid confrontation with them as long as you can. They can be freeze and stop in a time but they would not die even the world die as they were already dead. Look for the Monster Bestiary and Boos FAQ for more details and strategies for them. 4. Some of the enemies like Gum Heads could steal your items in your care. Be sure to check your things if they hit you or something special for you will be gone forever. Look for the Monster Bestiary for more details. 5. Try to keep up healing items early in the game as they would be useful later in the game where your room doesn't heal you anymore. You can use some if you'd like especially if you're in danger zone. 6. I recommend not picking up the golf club weapons as they would fill up your inventory quickly and will be useless after it's broken. If you'd always like it you can take it as long as you free some space for more powerful weapons waiting for you to pick them up. 7. Don't waste ammo. They would come in a rare amount early in the game and doesn't damage much. I recommend bringing melee weapons such as steel pipe as they have charge attack that is stronger than the pistol. But if it too risky and your life is in danger, use it instead for a lifesaver to avoid contact on enemies. 8. Always use charge attack! Abuse it! They there! Charge attack is done by being in Pose mode and holding down the action button. You can notice a c- shaped bar on the right of your life bar which denotes how much time you would spend before you can unleash it. It will flash as soon it is full and ready to blow some butt. As soon as you release X button and put up some brain exploding attack, you will be invulnerable from any hit by the enemies. Sweet! 9. Stomp enemy! It would be a total waste of time if you to hit them with weapons. As soon as they drop down, stomp down on it! It's an instant kill! One stomp would be enough to kill them. 10. Look at the enemy's stance! You can know when they would attack if they change it's stance. Example, a Sniffer Dog is moon walking when he/she saw you and changes it's move like a barking dog. It means it's charging for an attack. Look closely! 11. Use healing items especially in the second half of the game where your room doesn't heal you anymore. 12. Kill 120+ enemies. It's a way to get a 10-Star Ranking after the game. 13. In fighting ghost-victims, always equip a Saint Medallion to avoid getting damages from their ghost auras. then pin them with the Sword of Obedience after they fall down. I recommend to use the sword in the 4 major victims and victim no. 4. Why Victim-04? Because he appears in all places the most. You have 5 swords so why doesn't you use the last one to the ghost you hate most. 14. Only victim-05 and victim-15 are the ghost victim you will never fight. You can meet victim-15 but instead of fighting it, he'll help you to defeat the final boss. 15. Pinning a ghost with Sword of Obedience work sometimes hard. Whack them, wait until they really fall down. Sometime sit takes time to drop them down since they will float again and again. If that how it works, simply attack it again and again until you can stomp it. It means it truly does fall down and be ready to pin it. Selecting it in the inventory does pinning a ghost and when the chance is right, meaning the ghost fall down, press square button for Henry to pin it. Simple :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5. Monster Bestiary . . . *sh_mb_5* ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note: Victims 07+08 can be found also at the BOSS FAQ. Only victim-05 isn't capable of attacking you because he's sided with you. I will not pursue you to use range weapons such as pistol as if melee weapons are stronger and they have charge attack. Here is the format: .................. Monster's Name - name of the monster .................. Mostly found - where abundantly found Most Effective Weapon (s) - most effective weapons to use on the enemies Attack Rate - attacking power Speed Rate - agility HPs - hitpoints (depending in the weapon/s you're using, the faster or slower you could knock an enemy down) Description - info on the monster Strategy - how you run through them Speed Strategy - strategy for 10-Star Speed Ranking After reading all of the above, come and enter in the deeper image of Silent Hill 4: The room. Enter THE ROOM! ................... Sniffer Dogs (Male) ................... Mostly found: Everywhere, first half of the game Most Effective Weapon (s): Rusty Axe, Stun Gun, Spade Attack Rate: 2/5 Speed Rate: 4.5/5 HPs: 2/5 Description: Sniffers are dog-like monsters that have long tongues. Their tongues are originally made for sipping bloods in the body of it's victim. Male Sniffers are weaker than the female ones. Males are yellowish in color while females are pinkish. Strategy: You always see them by groups. Using charge-attacks usually knocks them in one hit. If you downed one, walk instead of running because if you run they would be more aggressive. Stomp then kills the other one by one. If you tend to run, run in a zigzag pattern so they would not hit you. Broucoulacas says: Running alerts them to your presence and gets them all going at you like torpedoes. If you simply walk and maintain your distance, they will not hear you and, unless you pass close by one of them, they will usually leave you alone entirely. Yeah I know I've been a dumb but for some reasons I thank you for saying this one. I know this too but I forgot to write it. Yeah I suggest too that you must walk in a distance to avoid them chasing you. Speed Strategy: Run! The best way to do in early games, as your weapons are weak that it would take 8-9 hits before they begin to fall. As mentioned above, run in a zigzag pattern to avoid taking damage from them. But if you don't want them to chase you, walk! This will save you from taking damages from this dogs. ..................... Sniffer Dogs (Female) ..................... Mostly found: Everywhere, second half of the game Most Effective Weapon (s): Rusty Axe, Stun Gun, Spade Attack Rate: 2.5/5 Speed Rate: 4.5-5/5 HPs: 2.5/5 Description: Unlike the males, females are more aggressive and more powerful. They also have a new move called "lunge attack" in which they would grind your leg. They have the same statistic in males except that they are pinkish. Strategy: They would mostly appear in the second part of the game. They always come in a group too! The same strategy on the males is recommended in fighting this sniffers. Be careful! They're more powerful now. Speed Strategy: Same as the male ones but they're faster and more furious than the other one. The best way is to run in zigzag or walk in a distance! ....... Hummers ....... Mostly found: Forest World 1 & 2 Most Effective Weapon (s): Bug Spray, anything Attack Rate: 1/5 Speed Rate: 3.5/5 HPs: 1/5 Description: Bat-like creatures that fly above. They always come in groups and have sharp fangs and teeth ready to peck out your body. They are bat, insect mixed creatures that swarms by group. They are very weak though. Strategy: They weak and easy to kill with any weapons in one hit. Fast weapons like steel pipe and golf club are ideal for fighting them. When they drop down, commence stomping on them before they fly up again. Speed Strategy: Same as the above but don't always fight them. They're useless to deal with if you like a 10-star rank. ........ Wall Men ........ Mostly found: Subway World 1 & 2, Water Prison World 1 Most Effective Weapon (s): Rusty Axe Attack Rate: 3.5/5 Speed Rate: 3/5 HPs: 3/5 Description: Wall Men are stationary because they are stuck on the wall. Quiet deadly but the only downfall is that they cannot move from their location. Strategy: Hitting them with regular attacks continuously would stunned them. Keep beating until they gone and it means they're already dead. Avoid fighting them as long as you can cause they can't even follow because they're stuck on the wall. If they're blocking your path, attack until they slump then run pass them. Speed Strategy: Run as you don't need to fight them. If you can't, beat it down and then run. ........................ Tremers (blue & and red) ........................ Mostly Found: Water Prison World 1 & 2 Most Effective Weapon (s): Stomp on them Attack Rate: n/a Speed Rate: 1-3/5 HPs: 1/5 Description: Slug-like creatures, they are often found climbing walls or slithering on the ground. They can move around ceilings and walls then drop on the floor. They can't harm you unless you touch them. Strategy: If they're on the walls, you can attack one times and they will fall down ready to stomp. However, if you manage to hit them directly on the wall, they would likely to die and squeeze like a chocolate bar. One hit would kill them so no worries. They are one of the easy-kill enemies because of one strike explode the butt of them. Speed Strategy: Run. If there are some in areas, hold down the action button. If one blocks the almighty Henry, they would die. Easy kill? ......................... Toadstools (White stools) ......................... Mostly found: Water Prison World 1 & 2 Most Effective Weapon (s): anything Attack Rate: n/a Speed Rate: n/a HPs: 1/5 Description: They are fungus, plant-like creatures that sometimes appears in wet areas, and is easily disposed of.

Often leaping around and laughing at you! If you here some laughing idiot somewhere in the room that means they're there. Unpredictable creatures that can dodge attacks too. Strategy: Charge attack would knock them easily. Prefer using fast and strong weapons like Rusty Axe to knock down them quickly. Stomp then it dies. Running to them is a good choice. If you get near them, there is a possibility that they would attack you or just laugh at you! I hate them the most. Speed Strategy: Never fight them unless they block your way or you're really really pissed off and ready to whack out they're mouth. *Extra Note: Only Gum Head creatures could steal your items. So watch out! If something is missing in your inventory, check out the corpse of Gum Heads you've faced off. May be it holds the missing item? .................... Gum Heads (New Type) .................... Mostly found: Building World 2 Most Effective Weapon (s): Rusty Axe, Stun Gun, Spade Attack Rate: 3-4/5 Speed Rate: 3-3.5/5 HPs: 3-4/5 Description: Pinkish hairless monkey-like monsters without the deformation the the older type has. They were also using golf clubs as a weapon. After you defeat them, you can get the items they'd drop near the the dead body. Faster and more unpredictable than their older counterpart. Strategy: They are much stronger and faster now. Be careful if they're using golf clubs. Only approach them if you've already have a charged attack. Stomp then get the items they drop as you wish. Speed Strategy: Never fight them unless they block your way or you're really really pissed off and ready to whack out they're mouth. *Extra Note: Only Gum Head creatures could steal your items.

Tall and wielding some heavy blunt but fast weapon. Strong and have a large amount of HP. They will make a loud noise if you hit them.

They will not chase you just like victims. They will just drive on the room randomly. Strategy: Run! The best way to fight them is to run. They can't die anyway and will hurt you if they hit you. If they hit you, you will fall down. It's useless to fight them as they can't die or knock down but can be stunned or weakened by using Saint Medallion or Holy Candles. Speed Strategy: RUN! ....... Bottoms ....... Mostly found: Outside Room 302 Most Effective Weapon (s): Rusty Axe, Stun Gun, Pickaxe of Despair, Spade Attack Rate: 4/5 Speed Rate: 3.5-4.5/5 HPs: 4.5/5 Description: Large, uncloaked monsters similar to the twin victims except that they can damage you more. It has a head on the underside of its hideous body. They are more aggressive and powerful than Victim-07 +08. They only show in the final area of the game. Strategy: The best way is to run on them and evade when they attack. They would be in a large group in the final area of the game. Probably 5 or more including Victim-07+08. They turn slowly that you can run pass easily on them when you're behind. Use this advantage to run fast. Speed Strategy: Run but if you get pissed off, run instead. :) ............

They are the weakest ghosts. He is average in all statistics. The first ghost you will meet. One of the weakest ghost. Pale white skin and in a scrap bloody clothes. Looks more of a zombie. Strategy: Run! Of course, ghost can never die whatever you do because their already dead matters roaming around the dark side of the world. If they ruin or block your path, whack them. Do not use Sword of Obedience to them because they're weak and you will just litter the true power of that sword later in the game. Speed Strategy: Run! Nothing cares. Just ignore them and run fast. Don't ever try to duel with them. ......... Victim-04 ......... Most found: Everywhere Most Effective Weapon (s): Sword of Obedience, Saint Medallion, Holy Candle, RUN!

Wears a black pants and a green shirt. Fast moving and have a moderate damaging attack. Strategy: Nothing to worry. I advise you to take the sword in his chest as it would be a waste.

The Majors . . . *sh4_mb_6.2* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Note: Victim-11 cannot be pin by a Sword of Obedience. For more information about pinning a ghost look at the Golden Rules section no. 15. *May contain spoilers* ......... Victim-16 ......... Mostly found: Subway World 2 Most Effective Weapon (s): Sword of Obedience, Saint Medallion, Rusty Axe Attack Rate: 4/5 Speed Rate: 4/5 HPs: 4/5 Description: Cynthia Velasquez ghost. She is one of the hardest ghost in the game. She has a long long hair just like Sadako in The Ring :) She has an ability to crawl out and leaves a black liquid thing on the ground if she's cornered. He has a moderate power and a fast one too. Strategy: I suggest pinning her the Sword of Obedience because she will be a really pain in the game if you don't. Equip a Saint Medallion to weaken her so you can easily dispatch it and stomp on. After that, pin her with the sword. Leave the sword in her! Speed Strategy: After the cut scene, rapidly go to her and start punishing her. Eileen will help you if she gets near. Equipping the Saint Medallion will remove her aura and weaken her so the whacking time would be fast. Whack her until she falls down and can be pin down. ......... Victim-17 ......... Mostly found: Forest World 2 Most Effective Weapon (s): Sword of Obedience, Saint Medallion, Rusty Axe Attack Rate: 4/5 Speed Rate: 4/5 HPs: 4/5 Description: Jasper Gein is a tough ghost too. He holds the chalice that he was holding when he died. Nothing can describe what his face now but all we know is that he's burned by fire and now floating the realm as a flame ghost. Strategy: I suggest pinning her the Sword of Obedience because he will be a pain later in the game. Equip a Saint Medallion same as ever to weaken him. After that, pin him with the sword. Leave the sword in him. Speed Strategy: Same as the old way but do it faster. Eileen will help you if you have her with you. If you can't beat him, you can bring a Pistol and a Silver Bullet. By this time, you should have it at least one. Reload the Silver Bullet to the Pistol. Shoot him and move fast to him. Stomp him to make sure he doesn't wake up again, if he does, whack him until he falls down. Pin him with the sword. Simple. ......... Victim-18 ......... Mostly found: Water Prison World 2 Most Effective Weapon (s): Sword of Obedience, Saint Medallion, Rusty Axe Attack Rate: 4.5-5/5 Speed Rate: 4/5 HPs: 5/5 Description: Andrew Desalvo's ghost is pretty strong. His barrel move isn't the greatest move that you want to encounter. He is bigger and fatter now than the last time you saw him maybe because of Walter drown him. He's tummy was marked 18121. He has the greatest hit points in all ghost and one of the strongest. He also sings a stupid song which I hated most. Strategy: I suggest using the Sword of Obedience. Start by using Silver Bullet in him. Believe me that you don't want to defeat him in a close fight . If Eileen were here the fight would be easier. Equip a Saint Medallion to weaken him then shoots the Silver Bullet. If he persist, spank him until he really falls down. Then pin him with the sword. He killed me the first time I saw him. He even doesn't fall even I shoot him with the Silver Bullet. He's a stupid moron. Speed Strategy: Same as the above. Beware of his "barrel" move. It can knock you temporarily. ......... Victim-19 .........

He's using a Steel Pipe-looking weapon to attack you. A deadly one too cause he can teleport at your back and attack you. He looks thinner now than he looks in the past. He can also unleash a multiple hit combo. Strategy: He can teleport, average attacking power and speed but, easy to beat the guy down. He can't teleport if you keep beating him nor you're too far from him. If you have a remaining Silver Bullet use it to him. He's the last ghost victim in the game so just use the last Sword of Obedience on him. Whack him until he falls down and pin him with the sword. Now he can never bother you anymore! Speed Strategy: Same as the old but to be fast use the Silver Bullet on him. I think you should get 2 Silver Bullets in the whole game so use it on Victim-18 and 19 only as they were the hardest to beat up to the ground. Equip a Saint Medallion always. ........................... Victim 11 (Man in the coat) ........................... Mostly found: second part of the game Most Effective Weapon (s): RUN! Attack Rate: 5/5 Speed Rate: 5/5 HPs: 5/5 Description: Walter Sullivan is an annoyance in the game. The most powerful victim in the game. He doesn't have ghost aura just like other victim but the most dangerous one. He wore a blue coat. He likes to carry deadly weapons usually you could use it too later in the game. Possible combinations of weapons use by him are: Steel Pipe & Pistol Chainsaw Dual Pistols He cannot die like the other victims do but you can knock him down in a minute. I suggest not fighting him. Strategy: As mentioned above, you cannot kill him but he can kill you easily! He can run fast same as Henry can do. So just run. DO NOT FIGHT HIM even the world die and whatever. Speed Strategy: Just RUN (period) ............................................ Walter Sullivan (Final Boss), the "Conjurer" ............................................ Mostly found: Outside Room 302, Ritual Area Most Effective Weapon (s): Rusty Axe, Pickaxe of Despair Attack Rate: 5/5 Speed Rate: 5/5 HPs: 5/5 Description: The final battle has begun. "I must complete the 21 sacraments." As a final boss, nothing much special about him. Except that he's wielding only a steel pipe and a pistol. He can also teleports if you're too far from him. You can't beat him unless you have the Umbilical Cord. Strategy: Bring any weapon you desire most. I usually bring the Pickaxe of Despair to beat him. He doesn't even hit me when I used this. To come this to an end, you MUST bring the Umbilical Cord. If you don't , reset the game or just waste your time reaching a gameover screen. I suggest not using Revolver. Why? If you run out of ammo you're already dead. Also you need at least 4 free spaces to easily get the 8 Spears of the Holy Mother. After the cut scene, run fast to the big monster in the top-middle of the room. Use the Umbilical Cord in it. If it doesn't work, move closer and use it. Then run around and get all 8 spears. It's your decision if you go for the left side or the right side first because each side have a 4 spears each. I suggest running in a either side then get the 4 spears. Use it on the monster then run via the side you didn't visited yet then get the last 4 spears. Use it on the monster; afterwards beat Walter to the heaven. He can now die. It's up to you if you want Eileen to die or to live. Speed Strategy: Same as the above but I prefer using Pickaxe of Despair instead any other weapons because it would kill Walter in about 8-10 hits. Remember freeing atleast 4 inventory spaces for the spears. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7. Frequently Asked Questions . . . *sh4_mb_7* ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note: Some of the answers and questions here can also be found at the Golden Rules section. I will only put the questions regarding the monster you'll face in the game and how to defeat them all. Q1. Why my Sword of Obedience is gone? I place it in my storage box and when I came back it gone. What had happened? A1. It is possible that Gum Heads stole it to you. When you face them, they usually steals weapons and items from you to use against you probably melee weapons or items. If found out that they usually steals a Steel Pipe from you if you have it. If ever something is missing from your inventory, try retracing the Gum Heads you've face. Check their body after they've died to see if they have the item that is missing from you. Q2. How can I kill a ghost? A2. Never and will never forever you can kill a ghost. You can also stop them temporarily or just for a long time. Q3. How can I beat the Man in the Coat? A3. You can't beat him but he can beat you in a second. Avoid him at all cost. Q4. How can I use a Sword of Obedience? A4. Simply whack the ghost victim you want to use for and wait until it falls down. You will know if you can pin it if you can stomp on it. If you can stomp the victim, place the item inventory to the sword and press the item use button, done by pressing square button. If you don't wan to see that ghost again, leave the sword. If you want to see him again and again, remove the sword. I suggest using the 5 swords in Victim-04, 16, 17, 18 & 19. Q5. How can I remove the Sword of Obedience in the victim? A5. Just go near the victim pinned by the sword and press the action button. You will be prompt if you want to remove the sword. Choose yes. Q6. How can I equip Eileen a weapon? A6. Just get near her and use the weapon. It will be marked as equipped if you successfully manage to give it to her. She will sometimes help you to pummel some enemies. Q7. How can I unequip Eileen's weapon? A7. Simply go near her and use the weapon equipped on her. Q8. How can that one ghost take his 40` through the walls with him? A8. Ghost can't pass through walls. They just came out from a black jelly- looking things in the walls. I don't understand what 40` thing are you talking about but all I know is that ghost just float in the mid-air and follow you around after they came out that jelly thing. Q9. If you have the doll, does that affect Eileen's health? A9. No. It's just a little piece of junk that hunts you in Room 302 above the storage box. They maybe connected but it really doesn't affect Eileen's health. Q10. Is the doll some type of monster? A10. As mentioned above, it does hunt you in Room 302 and damage you like other huntings do. It can be avoided by not taking the Shabby Doll and not putting it in the storage box. You can take it but never put it inside the box. In a short answer, it's a hauntings not a monster. Q11. Can I kill Eileen with my own bare hand? Q11. I tried it before and Henry just can't kill her even worsen her condition. Eileen can only take damages from monsters. Q12. Can Eileen die in the game? A12. Simply no. She can only die at the final area where Walter finishes the 21 sacraments. Q13. How can I heal Eileen? A13. You can heal her by using Holy Candles. Wait for her to stand up and walk near her. Use it and Henry will place it on the floor. Wait the candle to be lit off to be sure that she was cured. If you move too far Eileen will follow you and the Holy Candle healing effects will not occur. Be sure the candle/s is/are below her always. Q14. How can this happen? I healed Eileen before the scene with Joseph in Room 302 of the past. After that, when she followed me Outside Room 302, I found out that she was bloodied again. Is this normal? A14. Yes. To avoid losing Holy Candles, try not to heal her before this scene or your fate will be like mine the first time I played the game. Q15. Is there any other use of the Holy Candles except that they can remove the hauntings and heal Eileen? A15. Yes. It slows her in the final battle. This means the slower she walks, the slower she will be dead. Q16. Is it true that when you have the Doll in your box, does Eileen take more damage in other worlds than usual? A16. Da Dood says: From my experience, she becomes possessed much quicker. It's a whole other story about the damage... because I believe they're separate - but connected - things. :) Q17. Can I play about 2 players in the game cause the cover said multiplayer? A17. My own question :) piecemealcranky says: No, you cannot play 2 players in this game. Q18. Is it the Victim-Old Type who haunts me and the first ghost I saw in the first cutscene? A18. Yes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 8.
