West South Vale

A complete walkthrough for Silent Hill 2 (Remake)'s West South Vale area, detailing item locations, enemy encounters, and progression to Rosewater Park and Nathan Ave.

Exiting through the doors, we'll be on the west side of South Vale. Walk across the street, as we have a save point if needed. To the right of the save point, we'll have a car, and there's a health drink in it.

Grabbing the health drink, we'll take a look at the map and have to go toward Rosewater Park. Before reaching the end of the current road, there'll be a dumpster to the right. There's a bench next to it that has a box of ammo that we can pick up. Picking that up as we'll continue on the way to Rosewater Park. The first Jeep Cherokee that we come to after making the turn will have a box of ammo in the driver's seat. Not far from it, after we get the box of ammo, a cutscene will trigger. When back in control, we'll go and enter the Rosewater Park area. We'll take a look at the map, as there are two locations to check before advancing.

The area closest that's marked will have a syringe on a bench. As for the other marked area, there'll be a box of ammo to get. Upon getting the box of ammo, we'll head back to the main path and to the right. When reaching the pier area, take a left until we see a sign to the right with a long boardwalk. Heading onto the boardwalk until we reach the end and another cutscene triggers.

Road to Nathan Ave

After the cutscene, we'll head toward the end of the boardwalk that we recently used. At the end, take a right until we come to a gate on the left. Go through the gate and take a right at the intersection. Go until we see a stone bench to the right.

On the bench is a Strange Photo and this one is titled So far from home. Stay on the path until we head around the corner with chess boards to our left. On the second table, there'll be a box of ammo to take. As we stay on the current path, we'll reach a flight of stairs to go up. At the top, go until we reach a road that should be Nathan Ave. and Jack's Inn across the street.

Nathan Ave

We can cross the street, and before we head directly into Jack's Inn, we can stay on Nathan Ave. to stock up on some items for later. Not only that, there'll be at least a couple of collectibles to find as well. Go to the right of Jack's Inn, as there should be a garage area/car lot. Keep in mind that Maria will tell us we're going the wrong way.

Go inside and to the vehicle on the left. In the back, smash the window to get a syringe. Be careful of a Mannequin that'll appear. Exit the area and take a left toward Octanis Fuels. When we get there, we should see a building with C&S Auto Service & Tires on it. There'll be a Ford Bronco-type vehicle parked near it. Go to the car parked near the pumps, as there's a box of ammo in the driver's seat. From the car, head toward the building and to the right of it. The first car we come to after passing the gates will have a box of ammo near the back window of it. To the left should be a car with a jack under it.

Get the jack handle and be prepared for Lying Figures and Mannequins to appear. Best to exit if we picked up all items here. We'll want to head toward Pete's Bowl-O-Rama. Which should be across the street from where we're at now. If crossing the street from where we went to the cars, there'll be a red car with another box of ammo to get from the back. As we're at the bowl-o-rama, head toward the doors that have the business hours on them. Go through the first set of doors and through a second set. Once inside, head to the left near the counter. At the end of the shoe rack should be a box of ammo to pick up. Go between the shoe racks and through the door. We'll have a save point. To the left of the save point, there'll be a box that'll have a syringe in it. Head back out to the main area and to the counter closest to the lanes farthest to the left. There'll be a pizza box we can take a look at.

This will be one of the Glimpse of the Past we can take a look at and will trigger a trophy. Exit the bowl-o-rama and head left on Nathan Ave toward Silent Hill Historical Society. When reaching that, we'll go into the parking lot. Inside the red Jeep Cherokee, there'll be a health drink in the back. Smash the window to get it. The other car will have a box of ammo in the driver's seat. Head back out to Nathan Ave. and to the right. Watch for any Lying Figures and Creepers. We'll go until we reach a dead body on the road.

Read the memo near it.

_I can leave by not leaving_
_I can ONLY leave by not leaving_

After reading that, be sure to pick up the box of ammo to the right of the body. What we want to do now is head back toward Jack's Inn, but we aren't going there just yet. We'll need to get to the parking lot near Rosewater Park.

The parking lot is in the area marked above. When reaching the area, head in, as we should have a blue car to the left upon entering. Go past it until we see a green car and an SUV to the left after the blue car. Go to the green car and to the passenger side to find a health drink. Go to the other side until we see a partially opened door with a jack under it.

Use the Jack Handle to open the door more. To the right of the car on the lift, we should find a Strange Photo.

This one is titled "made it". On the other side of the car, we'll find a box of ammo along with a syringe in a box. On the other side of the garage, we'll find a couple of boxes of ammo. One is in the open and the other in a desk drawer. There'll also be a newspaper on the desk with the headline MASS LAYOFFS AT BROOKHAVEN HOSPITAL THREATEN THE INSTITUTION'S FUTURE. That'll be all we'll be able to get from here and time to head to Jack's Inn.

Jack's Inn

Leaving the parking lot and going to Jack's Inn, in the parking lot there'll be a car that'll have a save point on the trunk. From the car, if we saved progress, head left toward Room 101. To the left of that room is a door that sho
