Pick Up Chainsaw in the New Game Plus Mode
The Chainsaw is a special melee weapon that can be unlocked in the New Game+ mode forSilent Hill 2 Remake. Whether you’re a fan of this special weapon or not, you’ll have to pick it up to retrieve an important item to get the Stillness ending.
Players can find theChainsaw stuck in a log right outside Silent Hill Ranchin the New Game Plus mode. This is important as James doesn’t get a melee weapon until he reaches the Eastern South Vale area of Silent Hill. So,you’ll need the Chainsawto break into a car’s window and retrieve a key item.
Get the Key of Sorrow
After picking up the Chainsaw, you’ll need to find a green car and break its windows with the Chainsaw to get the Key of Sorrow. The green car with the Key of Sorrow islocated right after the Silent Hill Ranch(location marked on the map).
So progress towards the town until youget a Glimpse of the Pastby examining the blocked tunnel (where you encounter the first lying figure in the original Silent Hill 2). Enter through the chain-linked gate into the tunnel and players will spot a green car to the left after exiting it.
Break the windows of the green car until you see a prompt to pick up the Key of Sorrow. After receiving this key, you need to play the rest of the game normally until reaching the Otherworld version of the Lakeview Hotel.
Unlock the Manager’s Office Safe in Otherworld Lakeview Hotel
As the last step to get the Stillness ending, you’ll need toget the Toluca Postcardfrom the Otherworld Lakeview Hotel. After progressing through all the locations in Silent Hill 2 and reaching the Otherworld version of Lakeveiw Hotel, players need to reach the Manager’s office on the 1st floor.
In the office, you’ll see a safe lying in the corner of the room next to the ruined desk. Interact with the safe and use the Key of Sorrow on it. Nowenter the code 314to open the safe. The note beside the safe is about 312, which can be taken as a hint to the safe’s combination.
After the safe is opened, players will receive the Toluca Postcard. Now all you have to do is inspect it within your inventory and complete the game as normal. After thefinal boss fight in Silent Hill 2 Remake, you’ll get the ‘Stillness’ ending.
