Silent Hill 3 guide to getting 10 stars by collecting 100+ items and finding 5 extra weapons like the Unlimited Submachine Gun.
Walkthrough
- 1Collect at least 100 items to earn stars, with 1 star awarded per 5 items up to a maximum of 20 stars. Aiming for around 120 items is easily achievable by picking up all supplies, ammo, health items, and important pickups in side rooms.
- 2Prioritize essential items like at least three Ampoules to maximize stamina for specific bosses, as you can only take less than 500 points in damage. Ampoules, First-Aid Kits, and Health Drinks restore 100, 50, and 25 health points respectively.
- 3Remember to pick up important ammo for the Handgun, Shotgun, and SMG.
- 4Locate and collect the five extra weapons:
- Unlimited Submachine Gun: On the boxes at the left end of the alley out the beginning washroom in Central Square.
- 5Beam Saber: The handle of the northwesternmost door in the north 2F corridor of Central Square.
- 6Flamethrower: On the counter of Helen's Bakery while getting the Tongs, Central Square 2F.
- 7Gold and Silver Pipes: Drop your Steel Pipe into the water in the monster room of the Underpass' lower level and answer honestly.
- 8Do NOT use any of these five extra weapons during your 10-star run, as using them will result in a point deduction from your ranking. Ensure a normal weapon is always equipped.
- 9The Heather Beam, while unlocked, does not count towards the extra weapon count but will reduce your rank if used. Avoid equipping it.
Tips
- Picking up everything you see is generally a good strategy, but you can ignore less necessary items once you've reached a sufficient count.
- Do not equip or use the five extra weapons (Unlimited Submachine Gun, Beam Saber, Flamethrower, Gold and Silver Pipes) to avoid rank penalties.
- Avoid using the Heather Beam as it also negatively impacts your weapon rank.
