Silent Hill 2 Enhanced Edition NG Speedrun Tutorial

this tutorial goes pretty in-depth on almost all the strats in the SH2EE speedrun currently, including all the settings required for setup, as well as information necessary to getting Lucky Hill up and running. i think i covered just about everything, but if there’s any questions feel free to leave them in the comments or come ask me live on Twitch.

FAQ:
1) Is there a Glitchless run?
– Not really. If you’re looking for a glitchless experience I’d recommend running the PS2 version.

2) Where do I get Silent Hill 2?
– I can’t tell you outright, but SH2 is technically “Abandoned” Software. If you can find a website that has an .iso or portable version available, you can up-patch that to the Enhanced Edition. Buying a PC copy will only benefit 3rd party sellers/people up-charging for the game, none of the money will be going to Konami or the original developers.

3) Can I apply this guide to other categories/difficulties?
– Sort of. Hard/10-star and Normal are going to be rather different, requiring ammo pickups and health pickups, however UFO Ending and Dog Ending are both virtually identical to this route. The only differences are picking up the Dog Key for Dog Ending, and using the Blue Medallion in appropriate spots for UFO Ending. Reference one of my runs for more information on that once you learn the route.

4) What’s your cat’s name?
– Toro.
