Follow our comprehensive Silent Hill: Downpour Part 9 walkthrough to navigate the mines, solve water flow puzzles, and defeat new enemies like the Weeping Bat.
Walkthrough
- 1Enter the door and find a PICKAXE in the mining cart. Use it to break open the wooded door.
- 2Squeeze through a rock layer and go through the next door.
- 3In the open area, head up the staircase to the water flow controls.
- 4Locate an upright box and move it to block the wooden wall from fully descending.
- 5Adjust the water wheels: Far left wheel LEFT 3 times, middle wheel 2 times, right wheel ONCE. This should activate the pump. (On Hard Puzzle mode, the sequence is different: middle wheel DOWN 2 times, left wheel to pour water 3 times, then right wheel ONCE for pump and TWICE for elevator).
- 6Head back down the stairs and through the narrow rock area. Defeat the Screamer in the water (you can get free hits).
- 7In the less-flooded section, head left to find [PISTOL BULLETS] and a [FIRST AID KIT].
- 8Return to the water control center and turn the right wheel LEFT ONCE to power the elevator.
- 9Head to the elevator and go down. Watch the scene.
- 10Continue forward, fight the Screamer, and push a mine cart to proceed.
- 11Enter the next door and pick up the [TRAIN ACCIDENT] mystery item. Grab the [FIRST AID KIT] in the room.
- 12Prepare to face the WEEPING BAT. This enemy clings to ceilings and has a dangerous drop attack.
- 13If needed, grab the new pickaxe to the right. Continue past the Weeping Bat.
- 14Break down the wood blocking the ladder, climb it, and take the elevator.
- 15After the scene with JP and Murphy, use the lever to open a door and proceed.
- 16In the wide open area, you can fight a lone Weeping Bat. To the left is a building; to the right is a dead end with a pickaxe.
- 17Enter the building and go through the left door.
- 18Break down the wooden door guarded by a Weeping Bat. Activate the plunger to blow up rocks below.
- 19In the room with glass display cases, turn on the radio and search for a [FIRST AID KIT].
- 20Head back outside. Another Weeping Bat guards the path to the next elevator. You can run past it.
- 21Take the elevator down. After exiting, face and defeat a Screamer.
- 22Inspect the body to the left to find the [POEM].
Tips
- The Weeping Bat can be difficult without ranged attacks. Its ceiling drop attack cannot be blocked. Lure it down by running underneath it.
- Use the environment to your advantage when fighting the Weeping Bat near doors; it has specific areas it can jump from.
- Conserve First Aid Kits; you find several in this section.
- PICKAXE
- PISTOL BULLETS
- FIRST AID KIT (multiple)
- TRAIN ACCIDENT mystery item
- POEM
