First Floor North Hall: Women's Clothing Store

Find the HANGER and BULLETPROOF VEST in the Women's Clothing Store on the first floor of the North Hall in Silent Hill 3. Learn about the vest's pros and cons.

Alright, so we're back in the North Hall on the first floor. You'll want to head into the Women's Clothing Store – you know, the one under that partly-closed shutter. Just be sure to avoid that nasty Closer and the Double Head on your way in.

As soon as you step inside, look around the clothes rack near the entrance. You'll find a HANGER there. Now, keep your eyes peeled and head to the far corner of the store. On another clothes rack, you'll spot a BULLETPROOF VEST. Quick heads-up: you absolutely need your Flashlight on to see and grab both of these items. If you somehow missed the Flashlight earlier, you can find it in the storage room next to the ladies' room in the previous hall.

About the Bulletproof Vest: This thing is pretty neat. If you equip it, you'll take about 15% less damage from enemy attacks. Plus, any hits you block won't hurt Heather at all while you're wearing it. The downside? It's a bit heavy, so Heather's running speed will be a little slower. It's a solid choice if you're really worried about taking damage, but if you prefer to zip around, you might want to skip it. Definitely try it out and see what feels best for you.

You might hear something fall if you check the other door in the store, but trust me, there's nothing worth your time in there. Once you've got your items, leave the store. Head back out under that dented shutter to the hall you came from. Now, make your way towards the middle of the hall, where the escalators leading to the subway are marked on your map. Your next destination is the room on the north side of that hall.
