In-game Secrets

Several of the Achievements unlocked through the course of play reference previous Silent Hill games.

  • Eddie's Legacy: This achievement is obtained upon killing a Feral for the first time This is a reference to Eddie Dombrowski's murder of a dog while angry.
  • Shades of James: This achievement is obtained upon killing a Siam for the first time. This is a reference to James Sunderland's behavior towards his wife.
  • Kaufmann's Handiwork: This achievement is obtained upon obtaining a Serum for the first time. It is a reference to Dr. Kaufmann of Silent Hill 1.
  • The Old Gods haven't left this place...: This achievement is gained upon beating the game on Hard mode. During one of the endings of Silent Hill 2, James Sunderland mentions that the old gods of Silent Hill are still around, and are willing to grant power to those who venerate them.
  • In Water: This achievement is gained for obtaining one of the endings available in Homecoming. It shares its name with an ending from Silent Hill 2.

Unlockables

By completing a set series of events, the player is rewarded with various items. These, generally, are used to enhance multiple playthroughs of the game.

A Secret Cutscene

This extra cinematic scene can be obtained one of two ways: The player can either beat the game on HARD, or collect every photograph in a single playthrough. If these tasks are met, then after the credits roll, Alex will, from a first-person perspective, climb the stairs leading to his room in the Shepherd House. Josh will be seated on the bed, holding a camera. He begins to laugh, and takes a picture of his brother.
