*VERSION 3.0

Welcome to my Silent Hill: Handgun Speed Guide. This guide is for expert 
players who want to get the game done in a good amount of time (1 & 1/2 
hours) with using ONLY the Handgun given by Cybil. So no playing with the 
Shotgun, Hunting Rifle and Emergency Hammer. You should have played the game 
at least twice to understand the full concept of the game. Really, its not 
too difficult to beat this with the Handgun ONLY. Enjoy!

And note to webmasters: YOU BETTER ASK ME TO USE MY GUIDE OR I WILL SUE THE 
LIVING HELL OUT OF YOU! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! AND I WILL FIND YOU, THANKS TO 
SEARCH ENGINES LIKE GOOGLE! Thanks!

*5. STORY*
**********

***This is from the instruction booklet.***

The resort town of Silent Hill slips into desolation, now that the peak of 
development and growth has passed by. The memories of the tragic fire still 
haunt the townsfolk, and with the tourist season long past, there is hardly 
a shadow stirring.

Harry Mason prefers to take late vacations with his daughter Cheryl. This 
year theyve made plans to visit Silent Hill. Due to car trouble, they reach 
the outskirts of the town late at night. Cheryl is sleeping in the back seat 
as a motorcycle cop roars past his truck.

Moments later Harry spots the motorcycle dumped on the shoulder. There is no 
one to be seen. It paints an ominous picture. Suddenly, a shadow appears in 
front of the car.

Harry turns the wheel in panic. The car slides off the edge and into a 
gully.

Harry eventually regains consciousness. Cheryl is nowhere to be seen. It is 
unusually cold. Snow is falling out of season. Where has Cheryl disappeared 
to?

Harry walks toward the town he sees in the distance.

GAME OBJECTIVE:
Fine Harrys missing daughter, Cheryl.

****************
*6. COMBAT TIPS*
****************

Simply put, try running away when necessary. When you MUST fight, use the 
Handgun to drop the monster and give it a kick. Only fight when you are 
trapped.

Try to collect as much Handgun ammo. It helps because bosses require lots of 
ammo.

And again, ONLY FIGHT WHEN YOU ARE TRAPPED!

Also, listen to the radios sound. If its loud, a monster is near you. If 
its low, dont worry, you can outrun it.

And the Knife is the only other weapon youre getting, and its useless. 
Dont use it. Dont.

And ONLY FIGHT WHEN YOU ARE TRAPPED!

And skip any FMVs or cut-scenes. Ill describe them for you during the 
walkthrough. It saves time.

********************
*7. OLD SILENT HILL*
********************

After the scenes, follow Cheryl to the alleyway. Go through the fence and 
keep going. It will get dark, but don worry, Harry will use a lighter 
Resident Evil CODE: Veronica X style.

Keep going until you see a hanging corpse. Demon Children will then attack 
you. Let them kill you. Once you are killed, youll be taken to the caf. 
Skip the scene. Grab all the items in the caf except the radio.

Attempt to exit. Suddenly a Demon Bird comes in. shoot it with the Handgun. 
Then grab the radio. Exit the caf for good. Now we need to get to Midwich 
Elementary School, and all the obvious streets are blocked by chasms. On a 
bench north of the caf are 2 Handgun Bullet boxes. Grab them.

The game tells you to go to the alleyway again, but dont- theres nothing 
important there. Go to the top bridge on the map. Go right and on the edge 
until you see a wrecked police vehicle. Grab the Key of Lion. Now look on 
the map and travel to the alleyway behind caf.

Now run south on the ally, hugging the right until you reach a fence. Go 
through, grab the Health Drink and the Key of Woodman. Continue south of the 
alleyway and turn left on the street. Turn right and go down to the chasm. 
Cross the 2x4 and grab the Key of Scarecrow.

Go to the far west of Matheson St. Youll find notes by Cheryl. It says to 
go to the doghouse on Levin St. Travel to Levin St. going north. Hug the 
left side of the street and you should see a house with a doghouse in front.

Look in the doghouse (look out for Demon Dogs) and grab the House Key. Now 
look at the house behind the doghouse. Use the House Key there. Inside, grab 
all the items and save the game.

Go to the back door. Use all 3 Wizard of Oz Keys (Scarecrow, Lion, Woodman) 
on the back door and go through. It will get dark!

Grab the Health Drinks and then use the map as a reference to get to Midwich 
School. Youll eventually get there if you use the map often. But for 
directional needs from the Levin House:

1. Exit.
2. Turn left.
3. Then turn right.
4. Then turn left.
5. Keep running straight.
6. Inspect the waterworks for later.
7. Keep running and youll eventually see the school.

Enter the Midwich School.

*************************************
*8. NORMAL MIDWICH ELEMENTARY SCHOOL*
*************************************

Welcome to the school. Though if you agreed to the game and went back to the 
alleyway you would have found some notes saying Cheryl is in the school. 
Reality is, she isnt. But we HAVE TO explore the school to find the keys 
for the Church and Hospital.

Grab the map and examine it. NOTE: NORTH is pointing RIGHT on the map (---> 
N)! Remember that to avoid confusion later on.

Go through the double doors, turn right and go through the first door on the 
right. Its the infirmary. Save the game and grab the First Aid Kit and 
Health Drink.

Exit back and go through the double doors to the west (remember maps 
directions). In the courtyard, examine the clock tower (RE3 anyone?) Its 
10:00. Avoid or kill the Demon Kids and proceed south in this room through 
double doors. Check the map- you should be near the south stairs.

Climb them. Upstairs, take the nearest door, avoiding Demon Children. In the 
next room, head to the first door on the left. Inside the Chemical Storage, 
grab the Hydro Acid and head next door to the Chemistry Lab.

Use the Hydro Acid on the little hand thing on the table to get the Gold 
Medallion. Backtrack to the Clock Tower and insert the Gold Medallion 
somewhere on the side. Then examine the time. Its 12:00. Go back upstairs. 
Pass the doors leading to the Chemistry Hall and go down the hall. Turn left 
at the double doors.

Look on the map. You should be near the Music Room. Inside the music room, 
examine the piano. Some keys are bloddy. Now press these following keys on 
the piano.

1. Second White Key.
2. Second to last White Key.
3. Last Black Key.
4. Third to last White Key.
5. First Black Key.

The Silver Medallion will be revealed. Grab it. Exit the room and pass the 
Locker Room. You should be near the north stairs. Go down them. Go through 
the nearest double doors and you should be outside the Infirmary. Save and 
head to the Clock Tower. Insert the Silver Medallion. Now read the time. 
Its 5:00. Go back to the Infirmary Hall.

Pass through the double doors passed the Infirmary and go down the north 
stairs to the basement. Go to the right door and power up the genrator. 
Return to the Clock Tower. Go inside.

Head down the ladder, across the next room, and up another ladder. You are 
now in Evil Midwich Elementary School.

***********************************
*9. EVIL MIDWICH ELEMENTARY SCHOOL*
***********************************

After examining the weird symbol, head west (remember map directions). Head 
to the left single door (the door to the stairs is blocked). Inside, grab 
the Rubber Ball. Now travel to the other side of the hall. Enter the next 
room and access the classroom in the next hallway.

Grab the Picture Card. Head to the connecting classroom. Now dodge the Demon 
Kids and exit the classroom. You should be near a fence. Head through the 
double doors nearby.

Stop and save, heal, whatever at the infirmary. Now go across the hall. The 
west double doors lead to the courtyard and we dont need to go there now. 
Unlock them, though. Now look at the double doors to the south. They are 
locked, but detour into the single door to the left.

Its the Picture Room. Look at the weird door. Insert the Picture Card and 
go through. To the right, unlock the double doors, but dont go through- 
they are they other side of the locked double doors in the Infirmary Hall.

Ignore the bathrooms. They lead to the Shotgun which you dont need. Go into 
the next classroom. Travel to the stairs via the next classrooms. On your 
way the phone will ring. Skip the scene.

Once you reach the stairs, unlock the nearby double doors, which lead to the 
hall near that room where you got the Rubber Ball. Climb the stairs. Aim for 
the roof. Look for the valve and start the water. It will fall through a 
hole. Go to that hole and insert the Rubber Ball.

Now start the water again and it will bypass the hole to another hole. A key 
in that new hole will fall. Well get the key but first the Library Reserve 
Key.

Pass the Music Room and head to the Locker Room. Inside, examine the moving 
locker and look inside- nothing! Move and a corpse will fall out of the 
locker. Look at it for the Library Reserve Key.

Go back to the courtyard. Near the double doors (not near the Clock Tower) 
is a pipe. Look at it for the Classroom Key. Aim for the Library Reserve. 
Unlock it, head through the main library and into the classrooms. Use the 
Classroom Key.

Now pass through the classrooms. Head down the north stairs. Near the bottom 
of the north stairs is the other side of that gate. Unlock it, pit stop at 
the Infirmary and save. Now go to the basement. Head through the left door 
first and grab the Ampoule. You need that for the last boss of the game.

Now head to the other door. There are valves. Turn the left one RIGHT once 
and the right one LEFT twice. Go through and down the lift to the first boss 
fight!

***BOSS 1***
LIZARD GUARDIAN
DIFFICULTY: MEDIUM
This boss is tricky. You need to be quick and hopefully youve been 
collecting Handgun Bullets and dodging a lot. Arm the Handgun. Shoot its 
tail, but keep moving. Dont let it get near you with its mouth. When you 
damaged it with 20- 30 bullets, it opens its mouth, QUICKLY fire into its 
mouth for it to die. Fire 3 solid shots or Harry dies.
***BOSS 1***

After the Lizard Guardian dies, daytime hits again and the school isnt 
bloody anymore- its back to normal. But its still snowing. And Cheryl isnt 
here like she said. Grrrrrrrr.

Youll see a cut-scene with Alessa as she vanishes. Grab the Gordan Key and 
head upstairs. Harry will hear bells from the church- Balkan Church. We need 
to get there. Go to the reception desk in the Infirmary Hall. Read it to 
uncover the location of the Gordan House, which we need the Gordan Key for.

Save at the Infirmary and say goodbye to Midwich School, but well be back 
here for a quick mission after the Evil Central Silent Hill area.
Exit the school.

*******************
*10. BALKAN CHURCH*
*******************

Using the Old Silent Hill Map (North is pointing up again), travel to the 
Gordan Houses backyard. Here are the directions.

1. From the school, turn right to the bus. Inside, collect the Health 
Drinks.
2. Head west on Bradbury and up the next alley.
3. Turn right at the bloody garage into the backyard of Gordans house.

Like the Levin St. House from earlier, we need to use this house to get 
across chasms. Collect the Bullets. Go through the front of the house. 
Continue for the church. Directions are:

1. Turn right from Gordans.
2. Then turn left on Bradbury. H
3. Head up the next alleyway.
4. Turn right to Balkan Church.

In the church, you meet Dahlia Gillespie. She tells you to go to the 
hospital across the drawbridge in Central Silent Hill. When Dahlia leaves, 
travel to the alter and grab the Drawbridge Key and Flauros.

Exit the church and turn right. Keep heading for the bridge. Unfortunately, 
its raised. We need to lower it. Head into the Orrige Bridge Control Room, 
on the 2nd floor. Use the Drawbridge Key Dahlia gave you and the bridge will 
lower. Grab the Central Silent Hill Map. Now cross the bridge towards 
Central Silent Hill. Goodbye *for now * Old Silent Hill!

Head to the Police Station using the map for navigation. Inside, if you 
didnt get the Shotgun at Midwich Elementary School, it will be here. Grab 
it if you want, but you wont use it. But if you died against the Guardian 
Lizard, grab it just in case. The Police Station isnt like the one in 
Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3, so dont expect adventure. Travel to 
the hospital now.

********************************
*11. NORMAL ALCHEMILLA HOSPITAL*
********************************

Inside the yard, head to the right entrance. Dodge the Demon Dogs. Inside, 
save the game. Now head through the only unlocked door in the room. Inside, 
youll meet Kaufmann and discover Harrys wife has been dead for 4 years.

After the guy leaves, turn right and then through the next room. Youll be 
on the other side of the reception desk. Grab the map and proceed back to 
the Kaufmann Room. There, head through the other door there (across from 
where you first came in). Pass through the next room to the next room to the 
hallway. Examine the first room near the blocked double doors.

Pick up the Basement Map- you need it for the attic (hahahahahaha). Continue 
to the Conference Room and grab the Basement Key. If you dont want to save 
Cybil, skip the next section and head for the basement.

                      ***GETTING A + ENDING***
If you want an ending where theres a ____+ at the end (EX: Bad +/ Good 
+), follow these next steps. Or skip it if you want a non- + ending.

Head to the Kitchen. Grab a Plastic Bottle. Head to the Directors Room and 
use it to scoop a bottle of Aglophatis. Now continue.
                      ***END GETTING A + ENDING***

Go to the basement and use the Basement Key. Down in the basement, go to the 
Generator Room (use the map) and restore power to the elevators. Head to the 
elevator in the basement and ride it to 2F. In 2F, inspect the doors that 
are blocked. Ride the elevator to floor 3 now.

Inspect the doors and they are blocked. Now go back into the elevator and a 
4F will have appeared!! Take the elevator to 4F Welcome to Evil Alchemilla 
Hospital!

******************************
*12. EVIL ALCHEMILLA HOSPITAL*
******************************

Well, the place is bloddy like the Evil Midwich School. But since you 
already went to the Evil Midwich School, you will have experience with this 
place since its virtually identical. Youre map is your best friend because 
you can get confused on which floor you are in since 2F and 3F look the 
same.

Now go through the next 2 doors. Youll see a staircase. Go down and you are 
in 3F. On 3F, go to the girls bathroom and grab the Turtle Plate. Now go 
through the double doors to the east wing of the hospital. Head to the door 
on the right.

Grab the Blood Pack and the healing items and exit. Run to the second door 
to Harrys right- look out for the zombie nurse. Shoot it down if you have 
to. Inside, grab the Cat Plate. Now go to the double doors before the 
elevator and unlock them (they were locked at first back in the normal 
area). Head to the elevator.

Ride it to 1F, since the 2F doors are blocked. Go to the Directors Office 
and pick up the Queen Plate. Examine the vending machines for 3 important 
Health Drinks. Travel to the stairs to 2F.

Take the first door to the left. Grab the Lighter (Strangely, Harrys 
Lighter from the alleyway ended up here. Hmmmmmm) and exit. Head out and to 
the left door at the end.

Use the Blood Pack on the tentacles (even if you brought the Shotgun its 
worthless). With the tentacles distracted, grab the Hatter Plate. Now go 
back to the hall. Go to the Nurses Center.

On the far door, place the 4 plates like this:

              OTHER COLOR
                   I
   QUEEN (RED)----------HATTER (BLUE)
      I--------------------I
OTHER COLOR-------------------OTHER COLOR
      I--------------------I
   CAT (YELLOW)---------TURTLE (GREEN)
                   I
              OTHER COLOR

The door should unlock. Pass through. Kill the Zombies. Go to the Operating 
Room and grab the Basement Storeroom Key. Go back to the hall and go to the 
next right door. Grab the Alcohol. Now head to the elevator.

Take it to the basement. Go to the Basement Storeroom via its key. Before 
entering, head to the morgue, kill the Zombies or drop them and kick them. 
Inside the Morgue, grab the Ampoule. You need it against the last boss and 
the next 2.

Go to the Basement Storeroom. Inside, examine the shelf. Push it to reveal a 
narrow door. Go through. Look for a grate at the end of the room. Use the 
Alcohol on the vines and then the lighter to burn the vines away (brings 
back times from RE1).

Climb down the newly revealed stairs. Cross the hall and youre in a hallway 
with 6 rooms. Head to the last door on the left. Inside is the Exam Room 
Key. You need that to end this section.

Go back up the stairs, through the secret door to the Basement Storeroom and 
ride the elevator to 1F. Go to door right of the jammed ones. In the room, 
avoid the Zombie and use the Exam Key.

Through it is Nurse Lisa Garland. Skip her chit-chat and the hospital is 
back to normal! YAY!

Dahlia will come and leave a key on the desk for the Other Church. Pick it 
up. Go to the reception desk and save. Near the reception desk is a 
payphone. Examine it for the location of the Other Church. Leave the 
hospital.

**********************
*13. THE OTHER CHURCH*
**********************

>From the hospital, take the streets to the Other Church (on the top right 
corner of the map). Youll hear a siren chasing you, but there really isnt 
one. Use the Antique Shop key to get in. Inside, push the shelf like in the 
hospital. Once its moved, Cybil will come in and tell you she saw Cheryl go 
to the lake back in Old Silent Hill.

After the conversation, go through the tunnel. Cross it and you arrive in an 
altar like the Balkan Church. Grab the Axe because you need it for the Sewer 
Mission (no, not as a weapon). Attempt to leave through the hole in the wall 
and a scene will occur with Lisa and Cybil.

Suddenly, Harry will have transferred to Evil Central Silent Hill again. He 
needs to ask Lisa how to get to the lake besides Bachman Rd. (see the lake 
is south of Old Silent Hill. Gear up and save for the hospital again.

******************************
*14. EVIL CENTRAL SILENT HILL*
******************************

Like the last chapter, this chapter is short. Climb the stairs to the 
street. Continue until you see a hole in the fence of the mall. Go through. 
Go towards the escalator. Youll see Cheryl on the screen. Ignore this and 
climb the escalator.

Turn left and keep going until you fall down below. You have to fight the 
Larva now.

***BOSS 2***
GUARDIAN LARVA
DIIFICULTY: EASY
Compared to the lizard at the school, this guy is a wimp, but make sure you 
have at least 30 Handgun Bullets. When it rises from the sand below, shoot 
it. Run around so it doesnt hurt you from below. If you run out of ammo, 
you have no choice but to use the Rifle on the wall, which will ruin the 
whole point of this guide- Handgun only. Once the Larva breaks the wall 
open, you can escape.
***BOSS 2***

Look on the map and you are right of the mall (SH Shopping Center). Continue 
west on Sagan Street. If you needed the Hunting Rifle against the larva, you 
should detour to the SHPD to get Rifle ammo since another boss is coming.

Continue south on Critchton to the hospital. Go to the room where you saw 
Lisa, Kaufmann and Dahlia. Inside is Lisa. She tells you to go to the 
waterworks next to Midwich Elementary School. After the scene, go back 
outside.

Across the hospital gates, climb a flight of stairs. You have to fight a 
boss AGAIN!

***BOSS 3***
GUARDIAN MOTH
DIFFICULTY: MEDIUM
Take the Pistol and begin firing and moving at the same time. If you 
idiotically ran out, you have to use the rifle or the axe from the Other 
Church. Hit it fast and strong because it can spew poison. After about 30 
bullets, it topples.
***BOSS 3***

Normal Silent Hill hits again. We have to find Cheryl at the lake. The lake 
is located south of Old Silent Hill, but we need the sewers to bypass the 
chasms. The sewer entrance is in that fenced area we passed as we approached 
the school.

Gear up and find any ammo lying around town, especially at the Police 
Station if you missed ammo there. Cross the bridge back to Old Silent Hill. 
Youll automatically be taken to the waterworks. Take the ax and hack at the 
gate.

The gate will open, but the sewers are dangerous. Go back to Midwich 
Elementary School. Brings back memories! Save at the infirmary at the 
Midwich School and go down the ladder.

***********************************************
*15. THE SEWERS NEAR MIDWICH ELEMENTARY SCHOOL*
***********************************************

Yup, Old Silents Hills trash gets dumped here. Yuck. Down here, you have a 
quick mission. Grab the map. Then turn left until you reach a fork. Turn 
left and turn the first right you see. Then turn left and then another 
right.

Inside, find the Sewer Key. Now go back to where the tunnels forked
And unlock the gate. Proceed through the next ladder. Head straight and turn 
your second right. Keep going straight and look at the gate. We need to make 
another right. Keep going through doors.

Then youll see the key in the water. Grab it and avoid the Demon Frogs 
attack. Avoid them and run back to the gate. Climb the ladder and you will 
emerge on Bachman Rd. on the other side of the chasm- Lakeside Silent Hill!

***************************
*16. TOWARD THE LIGHTHOUSE*
***************************

Look at the board for the last map of the game. Now you have a choice. You 
can skip the next section and go to the lighthouse and meet Cybil there or 
go meet Kaufmann and put Cybil on hold. Its your choice. Keep the Handgun 
armed- there are many enemies and its now dark.

                    ***GETTING A GOOD ENDING***

Go to Annies Bar. Inside is Kaufmann. After the scene, grab his wallet. Now 
we need to go to the Motel. Go there now by heading south on Bachman Rd. 
Turn left in Sandford St., passed the Motel parking lot. Turn the corner 
left and youll see a door. On the code pad, enter the code: 0886. The door 
will open.

Inside the motel headquarters, save the game. Then go into the next area. 
Inside will be a couch, Newspaper, Magnet and porno posters. Grab the 
Magnet and read the Newspaper. Its the same one as the one in the Hospital. 
Its about the death of the mayor and an officer involving drugs. In the 
next room, there will be a motorcycle. Go to the Motel parking lot after 
this. Go to room 3 and use the Kaufmann Key to open the door.

Inside, push the cabinet and use the Magnet on the crack on the floor. Grab 
the Motorcycle Key- no, you wont be driving a motorcycle. Go back to the 
room where you saw the porno posters and go to the motorcycle. Use the 
motorcycle key and Harry finds the red liquid like the one he scooped at the 
hospital. Kaufmann will come in and take it in a pissed off way. Good, now 
you are guaranteed at least the good ending. Now with Kaufmann out of the 
way, we can meet Cybil and deal with her ending impact.

                   ***END GETTING A GOOD ENDING***

Whether or not you wanted to save Kaufmann, we should all head west on 
Sandford. Evil Silent Hill will take over on the way, so beware. When you 
get to the south pier, go down and then youll eventually reach a boat. Go 
through and youll see Cybil. Then Dahlia will come in. Continue for the 
lighthouse while Cybil goes to the amusement park. Dont forget the Pistol 
ammo.

Continue south, using the map for navigation. Its easy to get lost. Youll 
eventually climb a set of stairs leading to the lighthouse. Inside, save and 
climb the long set of stairs. Youll Alessa, that girl you saw at Midwich 
Elementary School.

After she vanishes again, head back for the boat. Youll be taken there 
after you leave the lighthouse. Back at the boat, you decide to follow 
Cybil. Go back to Sanford Street. From there, find the sewer entrance near 
the To Amusement Park sign on the map.

Its another set of sewers, but this time the path is completely linear. Go 
down.

*******************************
*17. THE AMUSEMENT PARK SEWERS*
*******************************

Theres a cut-scene you must skip. It shows Cybil being attacked by 
something. Grab the map and follow the map to the other ladder. Its a 
straightforward path. Youll eventually find the ladder. Just dodge and heal 
against monsters here. Theres a boss fight coming up!

************************
*18. THE AMUSEMENT PARK*
************************

This is difficult to describe, but you got to find Cybil somewhere in the 
park. When you find the snack stand with the save point, look to the left 
and north. Youll find Cybil on a merry-go-round.

***BOSS 4***
ZOMBIFIED CYBIL
DIFFICULTY: EASY (IF USING RED LIQUID); HARD (IF USING PISTOL)
Shes now a zombie like the nurses. If you want a good ending, follow these 
directions.

                     ***SAVING CYBIL***

Run behind her and use the liquid you found in the hospital on her back and 
Cybil will be saved.
                     ***END SAVING CYBIL***

                     ***KILLING CYBIL***

Start by pumping her with Handgun rounds. After 40, shell call it quits and 
die. She has her gun also, and will shoot you, which takes you from Good 
health to Danger health. Keep pumping bullets and Cybil will eventually die.
                     ***END KILLING CYBIL***

***BOSS 4***

After whatever you do with Cybil, skip the cut-scenes and you end up with 
Lisa. The cut-scene between Lisa and Cybils actions reveal Cheryl was 
adopted and Dahlia is a bad guy. After the scene with Lisa, you are in 
Nowhere.

*************
*19. NOWHERE*
*************

After the scene, Harry will be back in something like the hospitals exam 
room. Go through the door and go down the elevator. When youre done, turn 
left, ignore the Cheryl ghost and go through the far right door. Go down the 
stairs and youll be in a Midwich Elementary School Classroom.

Pass through the other door there and grab the Screwdriver and Pliers. Go 
back to the now non-working elevator. Go to the door to the right and inside 
is a pipe. Use the pliers to remove the key from the pipe.

Its the Ophiel Key. Go to the Ophiel Door and unlock it. Head through and 
head to the doors on the left. Inside, youll see buttons with a few astro 
symbols. On the left one, enter 6; middle one is 4; right one is 8. The Time 
Stone will be revealed. Go back to the main hall.

>From the non-working elevator, there are 3 doors to the right. Go to the 3rd 
one on the right. Its the Antique Shop where you saw Cybil for the second 
time. Theres no cabinet to push this time, but look at the clock and use 
the Time Stone to get a Key of Hagith.

(Geez, Konami REALLY likes clocks. In fact, 2 puzzles in the game revolve 
around this idea. Its the Clock Tower at the school and this clock. 
Grrrrrr.)

Go to the Hagith double doors and unlock them. Passed them are the elevator 
doors. Take them to floor 3. On the left door, insert this code on the door 
to unlock it.

   O O O
   O O X
   O X X

X X O  O X X
X X O  O O X
O O O  O O O

The O buttons are the buttons to press. Go through the door. Grab the 
Birdcage Key. Now take the elevator to floor 2. Go to the 3rd door on the 
left. Its a shop from the Central Silent Hill mall (one you didnt explore 
because I didnt tell you to). Grab the Mercury Crest and the Contract Ring. 
Now go to the double doors and unlock them. Pass through them and you are 
back in the main hall.

Go to the door left of the non-working elevator. Inside, use the birdcage 
key and then grab the Phaleg Key. Use it on the Phaleg door. Through it is 
the secret basement like the hospital one.

Take the door to the right. Its like the hospital kitchen. Use the Contract 
Ring on the fridge and grab the Melchior Dagger. If you didnt use the 
Contract Ring, a monster will come out and kill you.

Back in the hallway, Head next door. Inside, look for Jelly Beans of the 
shelf. Open them for the Bethor Key. Harry mustve been hungry Go to the 
Bethor Door. Passed it is the hospital generator. Flip the switch like last 
time. Now go back through the double doors leading to floor 2.

There, go through the only unlocked door. Its a hospital room. Use the 
Screwdriver on the back plate and grab the Aratron Key. Now explore the 
double doors in this hall with a pad next to it.

Insert the code: ALERT and go through the next room. There, grab the Solomon 
Amulet. Go back to the Phaleg Room. On your way out, Lisa will meet her 
worst fate. In the Phaleg area, go to the far right door. Use the Aratron 
Key. Inside, skip the scene with Dahlia.

Then grab the Oroboros Disk. Now go to the middle left door and grab the 
Ankh. Now go to the far, left door. Its Alessas room. On the back door, 
use the 5 inserts you found (Disk, Ankh, Crest, Dagger, Amulet). Save and 
unload the Pistols bullets (so you have NONE left) and aswell as for any 
other gun you collected. Make sure you have ZERO bullets and the 2 Ampoules 
from the school and hospital.

Proceed down the stairs in the next room. Its the final battle.

If you saved Cybil, shell be there. If you saved Kaufmann, hell be there 
and cause a boss change. You face one of 2 bosses.

***BOSS 5***
ALESSA
DIFFICULTY: EASY
If you didnt save Kaufmann (whether Cybil is dead or not), Alessa wont 
morph. Load the ampoule you have and then let her attack you. Check your 
health every time you are hit. The ampoules last about 30 seconds. Since you 
have no bullets, Alessa will vanish after a minute.
***BOSS 5***

***BOSS 5***
SAMAEL
DIFFICULTY: EASY
If you saved Kaufmann (whether Cybil is dead or not), Alessa will mutate. 
Use the ampoules. Now run around and hope Sam doesnt hit you. Since you 
have no bullets, Sam will die.
***BOSS 5***

NOTES: Of course you can fight them with the Pistol. It takes about 60 
Bullets for Samael and 40 for Alessa. Good luck!

CONGRADULATIONS! YOU JUST BEAT SILENT HILL WITHIN 1.5 HOURS! Although the 
other guide has it in an hour, you use the Handgun, which is quite an 
accomplishment! Enjoy the ending.

*23. CONCLUSION*
****************

Thats my Silent Hill: Handgun Speed Guide. Hopefully with just the Handgun 
you can beat the game in 60 minutes. If you want to know about all the other 
secrets, look at the other comprehensive guides! Enjoy!

DISCLAIMER: This guide may be similar to Vincent Merkens and he thinks I 
carbon copied his info and remade it into a Handgun ONLY guide, but I 
didnt. I beat it fast once with the help of his guide, but I in no way 
copied him. In fact, you may notice the start of each of our guides are 
different. The school-end parts are similar because we have no choice but to 
go linear. Im sorry if this offends you, Vincent. I surely was.

Thanks to:

*CJayC from GameFAQS.com for posting this.

*My friends and family.

*Meboy1 at the Silent Hill board for letting me help him with his Silent 
Hill story- check it out!

*Konami for making this great game!

*Sony for letting Konami make it for PS one.

*Vincent Merken for writing the Speed Guide for non-handgun owners. My Guide 
is a tad similar, but I never copied from him. But the first time I beat 
this game FAST was information from his guide. Please read his guide, too.

Well, adios, amigo/amiga! Here are my other guides:
