Walkthrough
Welcome to the complete walkthrough guide of Silent Hill 2 Remake (2024). This guide will provide a spoiler-free key summary and a complete walkthrough with additional details and explanations.
The key summary provides just basic information to proceed through the game. It also includes all collectibles (memos, strange photos and glimpses of the past) required for 100% completion of the game and New Game+ items. The summary also provides quick solutions for all puzzles for all difficulty levels (light, standard, hard). Items and actions not mandatory for the game's progress are marked in italics. Note that you can easily skip collecting some key items and entire puzzles if you already know the code – it will work anyway. You can also skip collecting the maps, but it is highly recommended to pick them as navigating without them would be difficult.
The complete walkthrough sections provide detailed instructions with locations of all items, including all collectibles, supplies, notes and additional points of interest, in-depth puzzle solutions for all difficulty levels and boss fight strategies. Note that this walkthrough is written for the standard combat difficulty, and the locations of some supply items may differ based on your playthrough style.
Both sections will allow you to get all trophies/achievements in the process, although some of them will require multiple playthroughs. After the walkthrough, you can check the detailed requirements to get all eight endings of the game.
This walkthrough also includes complete maps with all items and monsters marked for easy reference.
