Discover how to achieve a perfect 10/10 rank in Silent Hill 3! Learn about all the stats displayed after beating the game, from clear time to enemy kills, and what they mean for your final score.

Alright, so you've beaten Silent Hill 3 – congrats! After the credits roll, you'll get to see a screen full of stats that basically sums up your entire playthrough. It's pretty detailed, and understanding it is key if you're aiming for that coveted perfect 10/10 rank. Let's break down what all those numbers and categories mean.

First off, you'll see the Ending type, which is pretty self-explanatory – it tells you which of the game's endings you unlocked. Then there's the Action Level and Riddle Level you chose at the start; these influence the game's difficulty and puzzle complexity, respectively. Your Clear time is your total game clock time, and then you'll see specific times for defeating key bosses: the Split Worm, the Missionary, Leonard, Memory of Alessa, and finally, the God. These are important for seeing how efficient you were in combat.

Next up are some tracking stats: Clear number shows how many times you've completed the game, and Save & continue number tracks your usage of saves and continues – fewer is generally better for a high rank. Item number counts how many items you've collected, and Extra weapon number (only applicable in an Extra New Game) counts any special weapons you've picked up. You'll also see how many enemies you defeated by shooting versus by fighting (melee), and your Total damage received. Lastly, Rank reduction notes if you used an extra weapon or beginner mode, which can affect your final score.

The big one, of course, is your RANK. This is your overall assessment, displayed with large and small stars. Each large star is worth 1 point, and each small star is worth 0.1. So, 7 large stars and 5 small stars would be a 7.5 out of 10. The ultimate goal for completionists is to hit that perfect 10/10 or 100/100 score. Achieving this perfect rank unlocks upgrades for two extra weapons, which is a nice reward for your dedication. The guide also mentions that 10 small stars equal one large star, which is good to keep in mind when tallying your score. The breakdown below will show you exactly what you need to achieve to get those stars.
