Extra Costumes ******************************************************************************* After completing the game once the Extra Costumes option appears on the main menu. By typing certain codes, sometimes found in the game, sometimes received after completing certain tasks; you can access different shirts for Heather. The codes are case-sensitive, so be careful to type them exactly as is. All codes are useable once the Extra Costume option appears, and you do not need to complete the task to use it.

Extra Weapons ******************************************************************************* All Extra Weapons are only available in an Extra New Game. It is possible to make the Beam Sabre and Flame Thrower available the first time through by saving in Alessa's room, completing the game, then after it has saved the system information completing it again. This is also a fast way to get Bullet Adjustment maxed out. a. Silver and Gold Pipes ------------------------- At the end of the Overpass area, after you use the hairdryer, examine the pool. Drop in the Steel Pipe and a woman appears, answer her 3 questions truthfully and she will give you all the pipes. b. Unlimited Submachine Gun ---------------------------- Appears if you defeat the final boss with a melee weapon. You will find it at the end of the alleyway after Heather climb out of the bathroom. c. Beam Saber -------------- Appears if you killed more enemies by melee combat then by shooting. If it does not appear it will after completing the game again. You will find it at the end of the hall near the room with the book store key, it is in the door. d. Flame Thrower ----------------- Appears if you killed more enemies by shooting then by melee combat. If it does not appear it will after completing the game again. You will find it at the front counter in the Bakery at the mall. e. Heather Beams ----------------- Available after completing a game having killed more than 333 Enemies (including kills made in previous games). In order to unlock it you usually have to complete the game three times and it does not matter what you use to kill the monsters. In order to reach the total faster try playing the game on Hard difficulty whenever possible.This weapon can be equipped right at the beginning of the game by removing all other weapons. Equiping the "Transform" Costume upgrades Heather Beams to Sexy Beams. The Beam Sabre has nothing to do with this weapon. Heather Beams * Homing Missiles - Hold X to fire; two comets curve out from Heathers Eyes and move toward an enemy. * Psycho Balls - Tap X twice then hold to fire; A series of Hexagons fires out of Heather's eyes and can bounce off walls. Sexy Beams * Sexy Vision - Hold X to fire; 8 Homing Missiles combined with Psycho Balls shoot from Heathers eyes. * Heat Vision - Tap X twice and hold to fire; Two beams shoot from Heathers eyes which can then be directed at the enemy. ******************************************************************************* 4. Extra Options ******************************************************************************* The Extra Options Menu can be reached by accessing the regular menu then pushing any one of the R1, R2, L1 or L2 buttons on your controller. a. Beginner Mode ----------------- Available after you have died in the game twice. b. Bullet Adjust ----------------- Available the first time you go through and multiplies the number of bullets you get in a package. Increments everytime you complete a game to a maximum value of 5. c. Life Display ---------------- Available after you finish the Game in Hard Action or Riddle Mode. Shows Heathers health and stamina as bars in the top left hand corner. d. Extreme X ------------ Available after completing the game in all other Action levels. Every time you complete a game it increments to a maximum level of X (10). If you want to reach X fairly quickly only try for the UFO ending each time through. ******************************************************************************* 5. Extra Endings ******************************************************************************* a. Normal - You will get this ending your first time through. Afterwards you get this ending if you have accumulated less then 4000 Points. b. Possessed - Complete and Extra New Game with more then 4000 Points. Ways to make sure you get this ending are: * Kill every monster you see, it is better to use the Unlimited Submachine Gun and avoiding the use of melee weapons although it doesn't matter what you use. You will need to kill about 100 or more. You get 10 points for every monster. * Forgive the person at the Chapel. This gives you 1000 points. * Take as much damage as you can, more then 2000 points. You receive 1 point for every point of damage. * Do not go back to check on Douglas in the Amusement Park. * Do not take Douglas' Notebook from the Gypsy Shop. * Do not listen to the tape found in the chapel. c. Revenge - Reach the apartment killing monsters with nothing but Heather Beams and/or Sexy Beams. You only need to kill 30 or more monsters to get this ending. ******************************************************************************* 6. Extra Scenes ******************************************************************************* If you have a Silent Hill 2 saved game on your memory cartridge there are certain scenes and comments that appear in the game in reference to this game. * Examine the toilet in the 1st floor washroom of the "Other" Shopping Mall. * Examine the mail boxes at the apartment building. * Examine the brochure in the Heaven's Night Club. * Examine the back fence on the roof of the Hospital. ******************************************************************************* 7.
