ROOM 302 (17)

Learn how to clear hauntings in Room 302 in Silent Hill 4: The Room. Discover the importance of clearing hauntings for endings and how to use Holy Candles.

If you return home, you'll probably experience your first haunting. It will likely be the ticking clock, rattling windows, or wandering shoes in the kitchen. It's generally recommended that you clear a haunting whenever witnessed.

NOTE ON HAUNTINGS: From now until the end of the game you will experience a series of hauntings in your apartment, whereby certain pieces of furniture, walls, windows, etc. will become possessed in some way and flash your screen red when nearby, inflicting damage if you hang around. Whether you do or don't clear them will dictate which endings you can potentially receive, while Eileen's condition controls the other part of the equation. Clear all (or a high majority of) hauntings for a better ending.

To clear a haunting, simply place a Holy Candle near it either on a chair or on the floor, depending on the situation. If you get told you can't place one you just need to find the right spot to set it. The candle will quickly burn and the haunting will be cleared just as the candle reaches its end. Saint Medallions can also be used when near but it may be a waste given they work so well on Ghosts in the outside world, especially when one candle will work perfectly and you'll find enough of them over the game to clear them that way.

Return through the laundry room hole when finished.

Continue down the stairs to finally reach a door at the bottom. Pass through it once Eileen is near to continue on with her.

Welcome Back: Making Your Way to the Concourse

Follow the path to find a HOLY CANDLE on the left shelf by the two doors. Pass through the right door to rejoin a familiar subway corridor. Watch out for the Gum Head straight ahead and two more in the main hall. Take a right and proceed around the left corner, making your way to the washrooms.

Inside the ladies' room is the same PORTAL on the wall as before, but you'll have to squash past some Tremers to get there. You may remember you needed a certain coin to enter the turnstiles last time, so you'll want to return to your apartment to get it.
