With the ending conditions laid out, the next step is gathering the items necessary, starting with the Sacred Sword. This one dramatically streamlines your runs once in hand.
To acquire the Sacred Sword, locate five hidden Jizo statues during your second playthrough and offer specific items to each. These offerings are scattered throughout the town, tied to particular locations and events.
To forget the Sacred Sword, you’ll need to find five hidden jizo statues throughout a second playthrough and present them with offerings that can be found throughout the town. Below is a list of the Jizo statutes, their locations, and where to find the offerings that must be given to them.
Jizo Statue 1 awaits near a house on your initial descent to town, before the supernatural events erupt. It demands the Faded Bride Doll as an offering.
The Faded Bride Doll lies inside a house on the right side of the mountain you descend at game start — this location becomes accessible only in New Game Plus.
Jizo Statue 2 can be found near the northeastern part of the map on your way to Rinko’s house. Presenting a Rusted Flask will activate this statue.
The Rusted Flask sits on an altar within Sakuko’s family shrine, found by veering north instead of the scarecrow field on your route to Rinko’s home.
The third statue is positioned near the bottom of the map while heading to the middle school in the third foggy segment. It accepts Broken Japanese Geta Sandals.
After inspecting the statue, circle around the nearby broken bridge to locate the Broken Japanese Geta Sandals.
Jizo Statue 4 appears near Shu’s home. Don’t enter the house immediately but instead explore the vicinity to find it. This one requires a Cracked Hibachi Brazier.
The Cracked Hibachi Brazier is next to the shed situated on the right side of Shu’s house.
Jizo Statue 5 lies along the path from Shu’s house back to the village, tucked close to a house on the left side. Offer Dad’s Old Kitchen Knife here.
The Dad’s Old Kitchen Knife is hidden near the last statue, stuck to a tree and tricky to spot if you don’t know where to look.
After completing all offerings, head to the Great Cedar Tree in the map’s northwest corner. Here, the game grants you the Sacred Sword automatically.
Obtaining the Sacred Sword once is enough; in future playthroughs, you can claim it from any Jizo statue after your initial visit to Fog Town, greatly speeding up multiple runs.
The next item to secure is the Agura no Hotei-Sama , crucial for alternative endings that avoid picking up the Sacred Sword.
For the Fox’s Wedding ending, skip the Sacred Sword and instead detour in your fourth visit to the Dark Shrine’s Main Hall to obtain this key item.
The game nudges you to leave the Main Hall quickly since you have the fox mask in NG+, but resist this impulse. Explore the second floor’s southeastern door, previously inaccessible, to reach the area containing the Agura no Hotei-Sama and the sword purification puzzle.
Once collected, continue the story to the game’s end for a fresh conclusion.
Once you have the item simply continue the plot until the end of the game for a new ending.
For the ultimate ending, you need to purify the Sacred Sword, which involves revisiting that hidden room in the Main Hall encountered during the run where you obtained the Agura no Hotei-Sama.
This puzzle requires ringing three bells in a precise sequence, timed perfectly with auditory pond splashes.
You must listen for the water splashing and then ring the bells in this order:
- The bell on the temple balcony
- The bell on the island near the stone
- The bell on the stone bridge
- The bell on the balcony of the temple
- The bell on the island by the stone
- The bell on the stone bridge
The water will turn blood red when successful. Then proceed to purify the sword at the marked location in Fog Town to progress to the true ending.
Additionally, you must offer your brooch to the final Jizo statue, found near your home, as directed upon returning there late in the game.
Present the brooch and then finish the story to unlock the game’s definitive conclusion.
Silent Hill f keeps tradition alive with a secret UFO ending. Obtaining it requires completing a series of steps in a single run, paying close attention to the order you discover key items and clues related to the mysterious broadcasts and posters.
Like almost all prior games in the franchise, Silent Hill f has an easter egg UFO ending that can be acquired if the player takes specific steps throughout their playthrough. These steps need to be taken in order in a single playthrough, deviating from the order will lock you out of the ending. You’ll find everything you need to interact with in the following locations.
