Side Quest: Stolen Goods

The quest takes place in the apartment building through which you enter Pearl Creek from Hillside. After you enter the apartment through the window, exit into the hallway and climb up the stairs to the 3rd floor. Go to the right and find the door with the Threatening Letter (10/54). Take the note and go through the door. Head into the bedroom, take a look at the hanging body of the thief and pull the bead frame to uncover a stash of stolen items. Grab all the items from the box: Locket, Gold Watch, Money Box and War Medal.

Return the stolen items to their rightful owners
To complete the quest you need to return all the items to where they belong. To find the appropriate places you need to explore the apartments in the building and listen for the background sounds which indicate the place and hint what item should be put in that place. Here are the places where the items belong:

1. Locket. Apartment on the 3rd floor (across the thief's apartment), living room. Place the Locket on the table with a tray.
2. Gold Watch. Same apartment on the 3rd floor (across the thief's apartment), bedroom. Place the Gold Watch on a hand display on the table by the windows.
3. Money Box. Apartment on the 2nd floor, child's room (with a disco ball). Place the Money Box on the nightstand with some coins on top by the window. While returning the item check the drawers in the apartment's bedroom to get some Pistol Bullets.
   
4. War Medal. Apartment on the 1st floor, bedroom. Place the War Medal in the case on the nightstand.

The quest is complete. Now you can collect your reward for it. Go back to the thief's apartment on the third floor. You'll find out that the body is gone leaving a new set of clothes for Murphy to put on.

Side Quest: The Art Collector (cont.)

The third painting - “Wonder” - is hanging in the kitchen of the 1st floor apartment.

Side Quest: Digging up the Past (cont.)

The third dig site is in Pearl Creek, in a park south of Cook Street. The nearest shovel can be found at the beginning of the alley you've just gone through.

Side Quest: The Art Collector (cont.)

Inside head down the hallway into the exhibition room and take the Gallery Letter 1 (11/54). Return to the hallway and go into the office to the right. Here take the Gallery Letter 2 (12/54) from the sofa and the Gallery Owner’s Note (13/54) from the desk. Find the staircase and head into the basement to find a big table with three paintings lying on top of it.

Find the missing paintings
There is a series of nine paintings with a hidden map painted over them. Three paintings are already on the table, six paintings are missing. By now you have collected three. You can place your paintings on the table. Nothing else to do here, so get outside.

Room 302

This apartment looks almost exactly like Room 302 from Silent Hill 4: The Room. You can collect some useful items in here - a Colt on the kitchen counter and a First Aid Kit on the chair. Head back outside after grabbing all the stuff.

Side Quest: Ribbons

To start the quest find and read a missing person poster on the wall of the building on Lansdale Avenue just north of Cook Street.

Find the missing girl
Proceed to the north and find the Mother’s Note (14/54) on the lunch box by the lamppost with a yellow ribbon to get a new objective.

Follow the girl's trail home
According to the note you need to follow the ribbons tied to the lamp posts and trees across the town. However, you cannot complete this side quest until you go through the Centennial Building. We'll resume this quest later in the game.

Side Quest: Bird Cage (cont.)

The second bird cage is found at the corner of Brite Street and Lansdale Avenue to the south of the Bank.

Side Quest: The Bank

Before you start the quest look around the building for some good weapons as this quest involves a lot of combat. There's a Crowbar in the office on the 1st floor and a Fire Axe up in the director's office on the 2nd floor. There's also a First Aid Kit in the back of the teller's area to the left from the entrance. When you're ready head down into the basement and enter the vault. Try to open one of the safety deposit boxes to trigger the alarm and start the quest (Note: If you don't wish to continue the quest, go into the director's office on the 2nd floor and press the kill switch under the table to stop the alarm. This, however, will also close the vault's door, so to try again you need to re-enter the Bank's building).

Bank mystery
To complete the quest you need to defeat five increasingly hard waves of coming monsters in the main hall of the Bank. Each victory opens one safety deposit box with some useful items in it:

1. One Screamer, a First Aid Kit in the box.
2. Two Screamers, Pistol Bullets in the box.
3. One Screamer and one Brawler, a Colt in the box.
4. Two Brawlers, Pistol Bullets in the box.
5. One Screamer, one Brawler and one Stabber, three First Aid Kits in the box.

The quest is complete when you defeat the last enemy. Don't forget to collect the remaining items in the vault as your reward.

Side Quest: Homeless

Climb down the stairs via the eastern entrance to find a homeless man named Homer standing by the fire. Talk to the man to hear his proposal and start the quest. He needs some items in return for which he's going to unlock the doors to the underground tunnels leading to other parts of the town.

Find food for the beggar
First the homeless man ask you to bring him some food. Get back to the street and search for a vending machine. Location of the machine for different puzzle difficulties:

• Easy - at the intersection of Brite Street and Laymond Avenue
• Normal - along the south edge of Cook Street between Laymond Avenue and Lansdale Avenue
• Hard - in the alley south of Crook Street

Use the Money from your inventory to purchase a Candy Bar from the vending machine and return to the homeless. As a reward he will unlock the tunnel to Hillside.

Find a warm coat for the beggar
After you give Homer the Candy Bar, he complains about cold nights and asks you to bring him a coat. It's not possible to get that item at this stage of the game, so let's return to this quest later.

Side Quest: The Art Collector (cont.)

The fourth painting - “Certainty” - is lying in the storage unit on Laymond Avenue to the north of the Pearl Creek underground entrance. To open the door you need a code which is hinted in the Addressed Envelope, found on the pavement to the north of the storage unit. The keypad code is 827 (circled numbers in the address on the envelope).

Side Quest: Digging up the Past (cont.)

The fourth dig site is in the northwestern corner of Logan’s Park. The nearest shovel can be found in the Pearl Creek underground entrance on Laymond Avenue, just past the gate behind the homeless guy.
