ROOM 302

Your guide to Silent Hill 4: The Room's Room 302, covering its benefits like health regen and saving, plus navigating the subway and encountering new enemies like Ghosts.

Alright, so you've just woken up back in Henry's apartment, which is Room 302. Head out of the bedroom and into the living room. You might notice a piece of furniture near the kitchen that's been nudged a bit – go ahead and straighten it up.

After that, grab the PISTOL lying on the floor. Check the left wall for a note, and then investigate the weird, tunnel-like hole in the wall. You'll find a peephole that looks into Eileen's apartment. Pretty wild, huh? It seems Henry's stuck in his apartment but can still keep an eye on his neighbor.

Eileen doesn't seem to be doing much, but once you're done peeping, your phone will ring in the bedroom. Answer it, and then head into the washroom. You'll need to jump back into the hole there to return to the subway.

About Room 302: This apartment is super useful! While you're here, your health regenerates, you can save your game, and manage your items using the chest. You can also check for updates or see brief scenes through the front door peephole, keep an eye on Eileen, spy on other neighbors, and collect memos. If you ever get stuck, coming back to Room 302 is a good idea to see if anything there can help you move forward.

Back in the subway, check out the mannequin and then examine it again to get the LYNCH STREET LINE COIN. Head back out of the washroom into the hallway where those Sniffer enemies are. Don't bother fighting them; just run past them to the next area on the left, zigzagging to avoid their attacks. You'll get used to this running style, but sometimes you can sneak past them if you walk quietly.

You'll come to the Concourse and Dead End Corridor. Take a right, and you'll find another Sniffer by the turnstiles. If you want more Pistol ammo, keep going right into the next corridor. Here, you'll find two Sniffers and a strange pipe-like enemy called a Greedy Worm. You can attack it, but it won't do anything. Head up the stairs on the far right to find PISTOL PULLETS. Go back to the concourse and check the turnstiles in the middle.

Remember that coin you found? Use it on the signs and then on the correct turnstile to pass through. Head down the stairs.

You'll enter a cutscene where new enemies called Ghosts are introduced. These guys are tough – they can't be killed permanently. Even being near them will cause damage, so your best bet is usually to run past them. You'll find items later to help deal with them, but for now, just keep moving. Continue down the stairs and take the next set of stairs just ahead.

You're now on the Lynch Street Line East Platform. Head down the stairs and you'll see Cynthia trapped in a subway car. To help her, go to the end of the platform, past any Ghosts, and enter the final car. Examine the red light to push the button.

Cynthia will then make her way towards you. The south door here is locked, so you'll need to navigate through the stopped subway cars to the west platform. Start by heading to the north car and entering it.

You'll need to make your way through a maze of subway cars. The south aisle is blocked, so use the cement column to get to the other side. You'll find a locked toy box on a bench, so ignore that for now and move to the next car south. After that, advance to the next car south, use the cement column again to reach the fourth car in the southwest, and then move to the middle car. Use the column once more to get around a blockage and enter the sixth and final car. Follow the aisle and exit through the west doors.

You've made it to the Lynch Street Line West Platform. Head south down the platform. You can find PISTOL BULLETS up the stairs near a blockage. Keep going south and enter the maintenance room at the end. Inside, you'll notice Cynthia has disappeared again. She promises a special favor but keeps vanishing. You can't find her even if you backtrack, so just keep going.

You'll see another PORTAL on the wall here, but you don't need to go back to Room 302 unless you need to heal. Otherwise, head down the ladder.

You're now in the Maintenance Hallway. Follow the path past an intersection and up another ladder if you want more ammo – you'll find PISTOL BULLETS there. You can also unlock a door to the east platform, which is a good idea for later. Head back down when you're done.

Go into the intersection now, ignore any Ghosts, and head down the stairs through the end door.

You're on the King Street Line Platform. Quickly bash the nearby Sniffer with your Steel Pipe, then move down the platform. You'll hear Cynthia on the intercom; she's found the exit and tells you to come to the turnstiles. Head up the escalator ahead to reach them.
