Silent Hill: Homecoming Game Guide & Walkthrough

 

Welcome to the nightmare of Silent Hill. In this guide you will find everything you need not only to complete this game, but also to find all secret items and achievements. This walkthrough was prepared for both Xbox 360 and PC users. You will also find the info needed to collect all 1000 achievements points.

Maciej "Shinobix" Kurowiak

Silent Hill fights differ in many ways from what we could see in former parts of the series. They're more dynamic and arcade. During a fight we can perform a dodging move and to inflict two kinds of attacks: slow but powerful stab (right mouse button or gamepad's X) or fast but not as strong slash (left mouse button or A). If you press the button for a longer time you can inflict more serious damage. You can train that skill while attacking with the element of surprise on your side.

If you want to use a gun, try to save some ammo - in this part of the series ammunition is a rare luxury (especially when it comes to shotgun). You will find detailed advice about destroying specific monsters when you encounter the first representative of a given type.

A nurse will leave the toilet - she's attracted to light so turn off your flashlight. Kill her with fast attacks (LMB/A) or one strong stab (RMB/X). You can use powerful strike - simply by holding RMB/X. If you just wait in the darkness she should stop moving after a while - that's a good moment to knock her out.

Now go to the Men's Restroom. To get there, squeeze through a crack in the wall, near the place the nurse came from.

Men's Restroom

There is a lift at the end of the corridor. Push the button.

You are on the streets. At this time, there is not much to do and the only place you can go to, besides your home, is the Town Hall. Go there to save your game and take some useful items.

Town Hall

Go straight through doors and take photo #2.

You're not in any danger here so you can freely explore the rooms. If you take the corridor on the right you can find a green suitcase with Serum #1 in one of the rooms. It can completely renew your energy so use it wisely.

Xbox 360: your first Serum will give you an achievement: Kaufmann's Handiwork (10 p.).

In the corridor on the left you will notice a passage blocked by boards. You can't go through it now.

There are two rooms at the end of the corridor - in one of them you will find a savepoint and a Healing Potion on the fireplace. In the second one you will be able to chat with Judge Holloway.

After the talk you'll receive an Old Revolver.

Find a doorway under the stairway and go to the basement. Unfortunately, the whole basement is flooded and, what is even worse, something is lurking under the water.

This "something" is aptly named since it's a Lurker - a monster who likes to lay in wait in water and attack unexpectedly. Kill it with your knife using a fast combo.

Xbox 360: killing a first Lurker will net you Lurk No More achievement (10 p.).

The Basement isn't big so you can't get lost. You have to find Garage Remote (on the pomp). The door near the waterpomp is closed until you get rid of the water.

To get rid of the water you need to turn on the pomp, and to do that, you should fill it with gas.

Go outside the house and open the garage door with Garage Remote. Kill the Lurker and take a Steel Pipe from the bookcase. Set it as weapon. Move deeper into the garage and pry the door open. Take the Empty Gas Can from inside.

You can also read Charge Attacks and Combos manual here.

To fill the Can go to the park. The only way to get there is through a hole in the wall near garage door.

Kill the Lurker and duck under both holes.

Park

You're safe here, but before you leave take two important things: a photo #3 near the sidle and the Child's Drawing #6 from the wall.

Walk to the gate and pry it open.

Move closer to the truck and kill the Lurker. Use the Empty Gas Can on the fuel tank. Return to the Basement and use the Fuel Can on the pump. Exit through the door.

Backyard

There are two roads here - the first one leads to the cemetery, the second one leads to the house.

Get some things before you leave: there is a Health Drink in the flowerpot near the swing; Photo #4 in the bag hanging on the gate; Child's Drawing #7 on the fence.

Go to the next room and read a note near the phone.

Go back to the backyard, open the gate and go to the cemetery.

Go left to until you reach a cemetery. Take the Rose Heights Cemetery Map from the bench.

This cemetery isn't really that big. In fact there are only few important places marked on your map. The first one is East Garden.

East Garden

You should notice a man digging a hole and a big crack in the ground. Prepare a knife and climb down. If fighting isn't your forte, you can always return to the Town Hall to save your game. In any case climb down to fight Ferals - your new enemies. Kill them with a fast knife combo.

Xbox 360: killing a first Feral will give you Eddie's Legacy achievement (10 p.)

Founder's Garden

There is a dog in the middle of this garden (it's eating a body) so be careful. Go north and turn east. In the corner you should find a Health Drink.

Go downstairs - you don't need to fight this dog, you can simply go north toward West Garden.

West Garden

Go upstairs and towards the fountain. Take the Strange Stone Plate from the fountain.

Use both parts of the Plate on the gate at the northern part of the garden.

Go north and turn right at the parking lot.

Xbox 360: For the first Smog killed you will receive Clean the Air achievement (10 p.).

Go back to the cemetery. Be careful when you get to Main St, there is a dog near the building marked as SGPD. There are also some goods near this building: First Aid Kit and Pistol Ammunition.

Go back to the East Garden, to the place marked as Barlett Mausoleum. This time, however, is somewhat more difficult than last time you were here.

In the eastern part of Founders Garden you will find Pistol Ammunition. Watch out for a Smog and a dog wandering around.

In Founder's Row area there is another dog and a Smog walking between crypts. Before you enter the mausoleum, you will need to deal with a simple puzzle.

Near the entrance to the hotel is a small lane fronted by a clocked door. Use the key you just found. Kill a Smog and enter the alley. Take the Health Drink from the window and take a look at the fusebox. You need to connect all the cables properly.

Proper arrangement of cables look like this:

Go back to the hotel, press the button on the right side of the shaft and enter the elevator. Take Pistol Ammunition from the floor and select 5th floor. You will be attacked by a new type of monster - Needler. Arachnids are quite resistant, but a small head is their weak spot. You can shoot it as soon as one appears or simply kill them with an axe.

You can't enter Room 309 the usual way. Go around and reach it from the eastern side. Notice the hole nailed shut with boards - destroy them with your axe. Go inside and climb on the desk to reach the fourth floor of the hotel.

 

Grand Hotel 4th floor

You are in Room 408 but you can't go directly to the corridor. Go through the broken wall instead to get Room 406. . There is a letter on the shelf.

A swarm will attack you when you reach the corridor. Remember to turn off the flashlight - there is a nurse nearby. When she comes out - wait in the dark and then quietly knock her out.

Room 402

This the only room that you can now enter. Push the wardrobe to open a way to Room 404.

Room 407

Leave this room and go to the corridor.

Go to the room 408 and hack the boards near the door. Go through the hole, destroy a Swarm and take the briefcase with serum #2.

In the north-west part of the corridor you will find another entrance blocked with boards. Chop them, jump over the crack and go upstairs to the 5h Floor.

 

Grand Hotel - 5th Floor

The Needler - a creature you already met in the elevator, will attack you. You can try to shoot off his head but you can also kill him with the axe. Use fast combination of dodge and attack.

After that jump over the hole in the floor and take the Health Drink from the southern part of the lobby.

Sepulcher

This monster has pair of big hands, but someone nice left here some furniture and you can use it as shield. You can fight with the axe or your gun - whatever you like.

Stand behind the wardrobe, wait for his blow, then run to the nearest sack and hit it as much as possible. You need to destroy all sacks.

In his second form Sepulcher will try to catch you so move quickly and don't stop running. Notice that when he's trying to hit you, his hand get's stuck in the floor for a few seconds - use that time to hit it with the axe. When his head falls down to the floor hit it as hard as possible. After 2-3 tries you should be able to perform a finishing move.

Xbox 360: killing Sepulcher will give you Six Feet Under achievement (50 p.)

Look around, wait a while and after a minute a cop should arrive.

After the conversation, follow him and save the game. Follow him to the corridor.

A band of Schisms will attack Wheeler. Go left and enter the office Schism just came from. Take the Photo #6. Go outside and run to the end of the corridor - open the door on the left.

Choose the door on the left and go inside. You will receive the 12 Gauge Shotgun. Take the Station Map from the table.

Ok, this time it won't be easy. You will meet some new monsters and they are really dangerous. Schisms can kill in seconds but there is one trick that you can use (not involving shotgun). Schisms are stupid and you can take advantage of it. Try to use barriers when you're fighting them. For example when you're standing behind a desk, Schisms won't be able to avoid it and will try to walk into it instead. This gives you time to kill it with the axe (this game is a little buggy, so your axe should easily go through the desk and hit Schism).

If using game's bugs to your advantage isn't your style and you want to fight Schism "the right way" choose something faster than the axe like the knife or steel pipe and try to dodge and follow that up with a fast attack.

Xbox 360: Killing of first Schism will give Split Personality achievement (10 p.).

After killing four Schisms go to the Lobby. In the Men's Restroom you will find a Health Drink.

Break the glass and take another Health Drink.

Pull the lever to open the garage.

Leave the garage to fight with Siam. This monster is big but it's not as tough as it looks. Kill him with the axe or shotgun - whatever you like.

Xbox 360: Killing of first Siam will give you the Shades of James achievement (20 p.).

In this part of the game you will need to cooperate with Elle.

Go forward and jump down. You will notice a gate with number 3 (it's marked as Gate 13 on your map).

There's a wheel on the left side. Use it to open the gate. Elle should go through and open it for you from the other side.

Walk forward, then left and climb onto the higher level.

You need to reach Dr. Fitch's Office. You can go to the Town Hall take some items and save the game.

Go south, after the conversation with Wheeler equip the gun. Kill wandering Ferals and run to the Town Hall avoiding Schisms.

Town Hall

Go to the kitchen to get the Health Drink. Go to the child's room (last door on the right) and take the Photo #8. Take a look at the dresser -you will need a key to open it.

Go to the examination room which is now open - take the Serum #3 and Small Key. Return to the child's room and use a key to open the dresser.

You'll receive Scarlett's Doll.

This map should let you understand better this particular maze. The start is marked as S and red lines are stairs.

In the point marked as 1 you will find stairs leading right (south). Go downstairs, jump over the crack and after a while you should reach a fork. Turn left to reach a place marked as 2 - you should notice the next crack on your right and a corridor. Jump over the crack and go left, and then left again. You will reach a point marked as 3 - faulty fan in the floor. Jump down.

At the starting place (marked as 4) you will be attacked by a Swarm. Take Pistol Ammunition from the table and go along the corridor. Jump down and go straight ahead and then left. Go downstairs to reach crack in a platform - jump over it and go upstairs. Look at the left side of the room.

3-4

Fans are not working now and you can go through safely. Use the ladder and save the game. Go forward to reach the big door at the end - open it.

Scarlet

This boss is a harder to beat than the last one and you will probably use most of your ammo and Health Drinks.

Scarlet is very, very resistant. You will have to beat her using a crowbar, dodging her attacks to perform the combo at the end of this part of the battle. Hit her as many times as possible and after a while she should change her form to that of a big spider. Don't waste your ammo - wait for a moment when she is walking on the ceiling and tries to crush you. Dodge this attack and immediately counterattack. Repeat it few times and you should win.

Xbox 360: destroying Scarlet will give you Blood Donor achievement (50 p.).

You have Founder's Key and you are able to open secret passage in the Town Hall. Leave the office and go there.

This will open the secret passage. Go straight ahead, then turn right. Go forward and take the first passage to the right. On the next fork turn left and then go forward ignoring the corridor on your right. On the crossing turn right. Run straight ahead and turn into second passage to the left.

Go back to Founders Row and jump into the second hole (the first one is blocked). Squeeze through the hole and shoot Smogs. At the end of the alley you can find Shotgun Ammunition and First Aid Kit. Find a small window in the middle area of the alley and climb through. You are in Founder's Row now.

Go to the Family Crypts North area and find a boarded entrance. Use an axe to go inside and take the Chrome Hammer pistol. Save the game and go back to the house (you will need to kill two dogs during this trip).

Choosing "I'm sorry...' will give the Compassion achievement (20 p.).

Go downstairs and save the game in the next room.

Go to the next room - and solve the puzzle.

Asphyxia

This monster can be very annoying - she can grab Alex and kill him immediately. Don't use the gun during this fight - it's useless. Pick the axe and avoid her blows changing sides from left to right. You will need some luck to find yourself near her tail. The X marker will appear - hit her then and quickly move to her head. You should be able to finish her off then.

Before you go, take some items: the Ceremonial Dagger, the Lair Map and the First Aid Kit.

Save the game (you will be able to get back here to do it as often as you want).

You don't have the rest of your equipment so you will need to fight with your dagger.

Go north, to the Room 212. Kill the cultist and take the Steel Pipe from the body.

Break the glass and enter the Room 211.

Dagger is still a better weapon than the pipe so use it to kill the next cultist. Take the Sector 3 Key and MK 23 Handgun. There is also some Shotgun ammo there. Look at the trashcan - you'll find Child's Drawing #18.

Xbox 360: collecting all 18 drawings will give you Nursery Rhymes achievement (50 p.).

Go back to the corridor - two other cultists will attack you. Shoot both of them or kill at least one with your knife.

Go to the place marked as Sector 3.

There is another cultist inside - stab him with your dagger. Go to the south-east part of this area - you will have to pry the door open with the pipe. There are two cultists in the corridor - kill them and walk to the Room 320.

Jump over the fence on the left, move the blockade and pry open the door.

Curtis

He has a very dangerous weapon but in fact he is very incompetent. You can stab him with you knife without dodging, hitting him constantly. You can also kill him the usual way - dodging and attacking.

After the fight and a few cutscenes, go back to the Room 320 to take some things. Take the First Aid Kit and Health Drink from the table. Take the Room 301 Key from the wall in the Room 321.

Return to Elle and open the gate using the same method as you did in the sewers.

There is a pair of cultist in the Sector 3. Kill them quickly - one of them has a gun so he's twice as dangerous. Go to Room 301 (use the Room 301 Key).

Room 301

This are many treasures in this room, but the most important thing is that you can get your whole inventory back.

Take Pistol Ammunition from the corner on the right and from the cabinet. Take your equipment from the table and Health Drink from the cabinet in the corridor. There is also a briefcase with Serum #8.

Take the Police Marksman Rifle and Shotgun Ammunition.

Break the glass and enter the Room 112.

Wheeler is dying but you have a choice (read the Ending chapter of this guide) to help him or not.

Xbox 360: helping Wheeler will give you Now about those drinks achievements (20 p. ).

Go to Room 111 and to the corridor. Go east, save the game and enter the room.

You will notice a riddle on the floor.

Use the control panel and press the X ( or right mouse button) button 2 times and A button (or left mouse button) 8 times.

The second part of the puzzle:

Examine the door and turn the outer circle 3 times clockwise. Turn the inner circle 4 times counter clockwise.

Go back to the save point, save the game and enter the crypt. Examine the sarcophagus in the southern part of the room.

Amnion

This is the final boss and although he's not very strong, he's resistant and tough. If you saved a few medkits for this fight, you don't have to worry about the result.

Choose the axe as your weapon and run around. Attack him when he's vomiting. After a while he should transform into his second form. Use everything you have, every weapon, every Health Drink. Attack as hard as possible and after a while you should be able to perform a finishing move.
