Navigate Silent Hill 3's Shopping Mall. Learn enemy strategies, find extra weapons like the Flamethrower and Beam Saber, and secure vital items like the Bulletproof Vest.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    After the first Closer in the clothing store, grab the first box of Handgun Bullets on the bench.
  2. 2
    Kill all 7 enemies in the regular mall: 4 Numb Bodies, 1 Double Head, 2 Closers.
  3. 3
    In the Nightmare Mall, consider running through the first dog hallway.
  4. 4
    Kill the 3 Closers in the next hall. Isolate enemies or ignore them if necessary.
  5. 5
    In the clothes shop with the Hanger, find the Bulletproof Vest.
  6. 6
    Kill the Closer and Double Head on 3F.
  7. 7
    In the 2F shop with four Numb Bodies that respawn after getting the Moonstone: either master block timing to shoot them, or run through and get kills elsewhere. Alternatively, pass through the Walnut shop both times as enemies also regenerate there.
  8. 8
    Kill the Closer in the back hall.
  9. 9
    Kill the Numb Bodies in the balcony hall, avoiding the Pendulums.
  10. 10
    Consider getting a fighting kill with the solo Closer (12 shots and pipe swing) before the vise shop hallway, where it's best to run past everything.
Tips
  • The Handgun is your primary weapon until you get the Shotgun in the subway.
  • Use the Steel Pipe as a finisher, especially on Closers.
  • Kicking enemies to death counts as a fighting kill, which are harder to come by.
  • Grab the Unlimited Submachine Gun (first alleyway boxes), Flamethrower (Helen's Bakery), and Beam Saber (northwest end of north 2F hall) for 3 of the 5 Extra Weapons (cannot be used yet).
  • Set bullet adjust to x5 before picking up any ammo, as it doesn't carry over between runs.
  • The Bulletproof Vest eliminates all damage from blocks.
  • If the 2F shop with Numb Bodies is too difficult, run through it and get kills elsewhere, or use the Walnut shop as an alternative.
