Learn how to achieve the Drunk Dad ending in Silent Hill: Shattered Memories by answering Dr. Kaufmann's questions in the therapy sessions. Get the guide here!
Alright, so you're looking to get that specific "Drunk Dad" ending in Silent Hill: Shattered Memories, huh? It's one of the many ways Harry's story can play out, and it all hinges on how you answer questions during those therapy sessions with Dr. Kaufmann. This guide will walk you through it.
Before we dive into the specifics, remember that your answers shape Harry's personality. You can answer honestly, as if you were Harry, to see what ending *you* would get, or you can try to steer things towards a particular outcome. Most players do the latter on replays to see all the different story paths. If this is your first time through, I'd really recommend just answering honestly to get the most natural experience.
After Dr. Kaufmann finishes his initial chat, he'll hand you a sheet with a bunch of True/False questions. These are super important because they set Harry's initial personality, though it can be tweaked later. Make sure you're confident in your choices here – it's a crucial session.
Now, if you want to keep the ending a surprise, you can totally skip the next part. But if you're aiming for that "Drunk Dad" ending, pay close attention. Here's how the questions and answers break down:
| QUESTION | ANSWER TRUE | ANSWER FALSE |
| "I make friends easily." | Love Lost | Wicked and Weak |
| "Having a drink helps me relax." | Drunk Dad | Love Lost/Wicked and Weak |
| "I always listen to other people's feelings." | Love Lost | Wicked and Weak |
| "I prefer abstract ideas." | Wicked and Weak | Unknown outcome |
| "I have enjoyed role-playing during sex." | Sleaze & Sirens | Wicked and Weak |
| "Working to a plan or schedule is best." | Wicked and Weak | Unknown outcome |
| "I have never cheated on | Love Lost/ | Sleaze & Sirens |
So, to hit that "Drunk Dad" ending, the key question is: "Having a drink helps me relax." You'll want to answer TRUE to that one. The other answers will influence other potential endings, so keep that in mind if you're trying to lock in a specific path.
Quick Tip: Don't forget that you can also influence Harry's personality by how you interact with him and the choices you make throughout the game, not just in these therapy sessions. Keep an eye on those details!
