One of gaming’s greatest horror franchises,Silent Hillhas maintained its frightening aura and cultural relevance in an ever-changing, volatile market. The original Silent Hill is a timeless classic that pushed the hardware and story-telling capabilities of video games and served as a shining must-have Konami title on Sony’sPlaystationconsole.
A staple of the Silent Hill series is having multiple endings, influenced by the players decisions made during the story. With 5 true endings to the original Silent Hill, the player has a vast array of fates to deliver onto Harry Mason, some eyebrow raising and others thoughtful and loving.

WHERE TO PLAY
Each Ending & Their Conditions
All 5 endings in the original Silent Hill are dependent on several actions the player can make, overlook, or decide to avoid during the game. Four of the endings are regular endings that have a somewhat reasonable conclusion to Harry’s story and his ultimate fate after traveling into Silent Hill. The fifth ending is a secret joke ending that requiresspecific instructionsbe followed to unlock and achieve.
Good+ Ending:
This is the best outcome for the story, and sees Harry, Cybil, and the baby all escape Silent Hill alive. To achieve this outcome, players will need to find the glass vial in themotorcycle gas tankat the Resort,save Kaufmannin Annie’s Bar, and use theUnknown Liquidon Cybil while she’s in her parasite form during her boss fight.
Good Ending:
The standard good ending of the game sees Harry escape from Silent Hill with the baby, but Cybil remains trapped within the town. The only difference in how this ending is achieved compared to the ‘plus’ version is that the player decides tokill Cybilwhile in her boss fight instead of using the Unknown Liquid on her parasite form.
UFO Ending:
The strangest and most unconventional ending in the game, and the first of several hidden joke endings in the Silent Hill franchise. This ending cuts off the story earlier than the others, and sees Harry confronted by aliens that were the true culprits behind Silent Hill’s oddities.
To achieve this ending, players need to have Harry find theChanneling Stoneinside the old convenience store near the beginning of the game. Players then need to travel toseveral locationsin the game and use the Channeling Stone, including the Nightmare School rooftop, the top of the Lakeside Pier Lighthouse in Nightmare Resort, the inside of Norman’s Motel parking lot, the front courtyard of Nightmare Hospital before the Floatstinger boss fight, and the inside of the Lakeside Pier cabin in Nightmare Resort after talking to Dahlia and Cybil.
This ending sees only Harry and Cybil escape from Silent Hill. To achieve this ending, players need tonot findthe hidden motorcycle tank vial located in the Resort, while stillusing the Unknown Liquidon Cybil when she’s transformed into her parasitic form.
The worst possible outcome for everyone involved, which sees Harry dead in his car, wrecked on the side of the road. This ending is achieved by not finding the motorcycle vial and choosing tokill Cybilwhen she’s turned into her parasite form.
