Silent Hill 2 Cheats

Hidden Options Menu
Go to the options menu and press L1+R1. This will take you to a special hidden options menu.

Toggle Amount of Ammunition
Once you have beaten the game once, restart the game. Go to the options menu and press R1+L1 to reveal the hidden option menu. You will notice a new option: the ability to multiply the amount of ammunition you pick up. Multiply the ammo amount by either two or three.

Remove Scratchy Filter

Unlock Another Hard Riddle Mode
Play through the game and beat all three riddle difficulty settings–Easy, Normal and Hard. If you play through the game again on Hard Riddle level, the puzzles will change, further boggling your mind.

Read All Writing
Once you get all five endings, go through the game again and youll be able to read all the writing on signs that was previously obscured. Neat, huh? Now you have a reason to play the game a sixth time.

Tip: Beating Pyramid Head in Blue Creek
After the short cut scene concludes, pull up your gun and start popping caps. Every time a bullet successfully connects, you will hear a dull clang.

Pyramid Head will move toward you slowly, dragging a huge blade arm behind him. As he slowly moves toward you, keep popping. However, make sure you move to the stairway at the bottom of the room as he approaches. When he reaches the area in front of the door, run up and past him.

At this point, he may raise his blade, but move to the opposite end of the room and keep firing. If you get hung up on him and he drops the blade on you, you could be killed (or worse). After you plug him about 30 times, an alarm will sound in the distance. Pyramid Head will make his way down the stairs and into the watery area below, draining the stairwell. Dont follow him too closely as he leaves, or hell kill you with his cleaver. However, once the water has completely drained, move down the staircase and exit through the slimy blue door.

Soft Reset
If youre stuck in the game and want to quickly return to the main menu, press L1+L2+R1+R2+SELECT+START to soft reset.

Get Chain Saw
Heres a handy little weapon that will help you rip through the game a second time. First, beat the game on Normal Difficulty (and Normal Puzzles). Then, when you start a new game, search the logs near the cemetery to get the Husqvarna. Happy carving!

Get White Chrism
Finish the game once. When you return to Apt. 105 in Blue Creek Apartments, there will be a vial of white chrism in the kitchen. Examine it.

Get Dog Key
The dog house can be found near Jacks Inn, but only after youve either seen three of the endings (or the Rebirth ending once). The Dog Key can be found inside the dog house.

Get Book of Lost Memories
Play through the game once. The next time through, youll find a newspaper stand near the Texxon Gas Station. Inside, youll find the Book.

Get Obsidian Goblet
Play through the game once. The next time through, search the shelves in the Silent Hill Historical Society. Youll find the Goblet.
