1. BRIEFING

As with all gaming, in particular speeding, results depend on the ability of 
the player to maneuver through the playing field. To have the route through 
that field memorized to minimize damage and the time spent acquiring the 
items necessary to complete objectives. That being said, I'm sure there will 
be faster times out there waiting to be clocked by speeders.
This guide is for fast time, not gold stars. When gold is achieved, it is 
because it has to do with completing an objective within the game's time 
requirement only.

For me, in general, the Silent Hill 3 story images are more disturbing than 
in the previous two games. It seems to be darker and more blurred meant to 
confuse the senses and disorient the player. Having the pile near the picture 
window on the south side of the living room blows big time chunks, glare 
sucks! 
I get yelled at for taking the comforter off the back of the couch and 
hanging it over the curtains to darken the living room, and then not putting 
it back when I'm done. 
She just doesn't understand how totally draining it is to run for miles 
through depressing environments and to do battle with horrendous demons in a 
selfless act to save humanity from a living hell on Earth! You'd think she 
would appreciate what I've done for her and our children and gratefully put 
the comforter back for me! 
 
However, for me, the creep factor from SH1 isn't there. 
I'm thinking it may be the "First Game Thrill Factor" that accounts for this 
phenomenon. In defense of my theory are the Resident Evil and Dino Crisis 
series games. Anyone who has played each of the games chronologically in each 
or either series may attest to the fact that RE1 and DC1 were creepier than 
later installments.

This being an Extreme 10/Hard mode guide you should be aware if you aren't 
already, the AI in the extreme modes above level 7 is "BRUTAL" it's much 
faster and accurate, it deals out way more damage than in hard mode and takes 
much more damage before it succumbs to your attack. Critters do make it 
through Heather's attacks for a counter. Considering the narrow hallways and 
dark bloody areas in both versions of the Construction site and Hospital plus 
the monster gang meetings in the church you will be hard pressed to stay 
healthy. 
It also becomes exceedingly difficult to attain the required goals for gold 
stars, in particular Shecky, Lenny the Rotten and Claudia. I have been able 
to drop the other two bosses well within the time frame, but, Shecky, Lenny 
and Claudia seem to be hanging around a tad longer with each difficulty level 
and pushing the time limit envelope in level 10. I'm not sure if they're 
taking more damage, they are slicker or both.

Heather's stamina
One good way to gauge it as you climb to and through the Extreme levels is to 
note the distance where her running speed slows down. I gauge this at the 
beginning of the game. I start from where Heather begins running in the 
bathroom and climbs out of the window to the malls exterior door. Ignore the 
SMG to the left of the window and run directly towards the Van. 

In Easy mode, Heather will reach the Van and then the door at full speed.
Normal mode, Heather will slow up about 10 feet from the door on her return 
from the Van.
Hard mode, Heather will slow down about 20 feet from the door.
Extreme mode, Heather will not make it to the van before slowing down; she'll 
slow down about 10 feet from the door after jumping out of the window.

Note: From hard mode on, Heather has become a klutz; she seems to have lost 
the ability to consistently approach a door on the run and enter without 
slamming into and bouncing off of it first. I've been attacked by PLATS, 
LPSTs and BPCs more times than I care count. 

Don't expect all or any Meds to be in their usual spots from extreme level 7 
and up. I haven't been paying too much attention to the ammo, but I swear at 
the Construction site, two boxes appeared on a desk in the office where you 
pick up the rope and map.

To avoid some damage, you are going to fire at AI you were able to ignore 
below level 7. You shouldn't have to kill any of them; you're just knocking 
them down to clear a path for Heather. The only AI outside of the Boss that 
gets killed is the LPST in the Bar on the 2nd floor of the Mall. Apparently 
the rest are just knocked down. The two slashers shot at in the Church, 
aren't added to the kill list even if the seem to disappear.

It seems that not only is Heather's stamina altered to slow down sooner, but 
she is weaker health wise and receives more damage from the AI attacks.

The number of monster things that you see in easy and normal mode doesn't 
change in the extreme levels. That's a plus eh! Nevertheless, the denizens of 
extreme mode are much more accurate than previous SH AI and dodging won't be 
as effective. 

Your tactics must change somewhat from the lower extreme modes to reflect the 
additional strengths of the AI. For example, Platypussessess, up to Extreme 3 
I had been able to outwit them. I was attacked on occasion, but I could avoid 
contact 80+% of the time. From X4 on, I've had to resort to using the (YERKY) 
a meat like substance they like almost as much as the rotting carcasses lying 
about. However, you must still use extreme caution when they're in the area. 
From level 7 on, the Plats may slam Heather on their way to the meat, or may 
be ignoring the meat entirely, I'm not entirely sure about that though.

Boss fights pretty much remain the same, only a slight change from the easier 
modes. Targeting in level 10 is not guaranteed, so you must be closer to 
ensure good hits. The AI is faster and their moves are slightly more random. 

For your first few times through level 10, I suggest saving before each boss 
fight for safety sake. Don't use continues, they pile up to fast, the object 
of the game is to do it in the fewest saves possible. Although, while writing 
this guide and braining out the fastest and safest ways to deal with the AI, 
I saved before every boss and a few other places that proved difficult.

3. GAME OPTIONS

Keyboard/Controller Functions
The game manual does suggest using a USB Game Pad, I'm sure I may eventually 
buy one, I more or less stink with the key board. I'm buying more PC games, 
subsequently; blowing huge chunks at keyboard operation is a definite 
drawback in the gaming arena. I am making progress and becoming more adept at 
the keyboard though.
Nonetheless, what I do notice, at all the game sites I go to and or have 
guides at is that the PC end of the game guide set is dismal for SH3. Odd, 
I'm told that PC gaming is older and big, however, look in the SH3 PC FAQ 
section and all you see are guides for PS2. 
I played through SH3 twice before I figured out how to shoot up, down, left 
and right with the SMG, three times before I figured out how to adjust the 
bullet multiplier. The game manual doesn't divulge the info, and I was 
getting tired of being mou'd on by low moving critters. It isn't a problem if 
they're at a distance; however, if they're up high or make it close, you're 
toast.

There aren't many keys to push, at least in my version of the game, and I'm 
basically happy with the key configuration. I have big hands and they don't 
voluntarily squeeze close enough together to stay on the correct keys for 
accurate control and I still have to look at the keyboard to ensure the 
correct key or combination of keys are pushed.
This part, (GAME OPTIONS) is mostly for the Meat Puppets like me, who are 
keyboard PC game inept, i.e., have a difficult time figuring out how to make 
things work.
Many of the settings I've left as default, the few I've changed, were to make 
control better for me; I suggest you play around with them to find what suits 
you best. 
A small suggestion, while configuring your set-up take note of an items 
default setting before you change it, just in case you don't like what you've 
done, getting back to -0- is a good thing.

BUTTON CONFIG, default settings, altered settings *;

MOVEMENT: pretty much a standard for most games;
Q; left turn,     W; forward, E; right turn
A; left strafe,   S; back,    D; right strafe

ENTER; Enter/click left mouse. CANCEL; Escape/click right mouse.
SKIP; click mouse wheel.       ACTION; TAB/click left mouse.
CAUTION; Right mouse button.   RUN/GUARD; left shift
QUICK TURN; tap strafe left and right simultaneously.

ITEM SCREEN; 1,* MAP; 2,* LIGHT; R,* RECOVERY/RELOAD; F,* 
SEARCH/VIEW; SPACE BAR,* 
While in search view,
CAMERA MOVEMENT; arrow keys/ move mouse to left or right. **
ZOOM; Z, (must be holding TAB for it to zoom in)
QUICK SAVE; F5, QUICK LOAD; F9

OTHER OPTIONS;

SUBTITLES, On/Off; if you're playing for the first few times and need to know 
what's being said keep it on. I keep it off.

BRIGHTNESS LEVEL; I max it, (7) helps me see better without the light on. The 
critters are attracted to the light.

VIBRATION; On/Off; Keyboard off; Game Pad whatever you prefer.

SOUND; I use headphones, and keep it on stereo

BGM VOLUME; I keep it to 3, to lessen the distraction, all the extra noise 
gets in the way.

SE VOLUME; Max it out to hear the critters, tres importante when you can't 
see them.

CONTROL TYPE; 3D.  

WALK/RUN CONTROL; Reversed, NOISE EFFECT; Off


CONFIGURATION;

RESOLUTION; 1024X768, SCREEN MODE; Full, 

RENDERING RESOLUTION; 1024X1024, REAL TIME SHADOW; Off

LOW HEALTH INDICATOR; (On) you need to know when Heather is hurtin' for 
certin'.

BULLET ADJUSTMENT;
Once you have cleared one game and created a Next Game, you get to adjust the 
ammunition multiplier. To do this, enter "OPTIONS" in the main menu, at the 
top of this new window, you have directional arrows, click once to the right 
and scan down the list and highlight "BULLET ADJUST" with the cursor, now, 
use the keyboards directional arrows to adjust the multiplier as high as it 
will go. After 6 games, I'm only getting 5X. This is a great option, 
especially if you're into speeding and trying to eliminate many of the bloody 
pick ups.

The rest of the settings are at default, the ones I messed with give me a 
crisp picture and still let me push the frame rate to keep shutter or strobe 
down.

NOTES:
* (I've changed the location of these often used keys to put them close to 
the movement keys. INVENTORY is "1"; MAP is "2", light is "R" and 
RECOVERY/RELOAD is "F". The RECOVERY/RELOAD option allows you to reload the 
selected weapon before the ammo runs out, medicate Heather before she croaks 
from damage or whatever other item you have equipped. It becomes a handy 
option when your target has moved off and you don't want to wait to run out 
of ammo, Auto load, often comes at unsuitable moments, and takes forever when 
you're using the SG. For some instances like with Lenny the Rotten, you must 
use "Manual Reload" from inventory to cut reload time down, auto and quick 
reload isn't fast enough. So, "Quick Reload" keeps a full clip or tube 
between conflicts.

** (I find the Q and E keys do a decent job, albeit a spastic one of changing 
the left and or right camera angles. They rotate the camera 360 degrees in 
either direction whereas the left and right arrow keys are limited to about 
45 degrees in either direction. You do need to use the up and down arrows to 
see up and down.)

4. WALK THROUGH

Load the game, once you have the main menu in front of you, enter OPTIONS. 
Click the window arrow for the next option screen, locate and highlight 
"BULLET ADJUST" use the right cursor arrow to raise the bullet count to X5. 
Click exit and save. Click Extra New Game, then the Extreme level you're 
playing at, and then Hard Riddle. 
(Where in the lower modes you were able to dodge the AI in certain areas, you 
won't be able to in the extreme modes. You will be forced to shoot to stay 
healthy) 
You can read Game Options for the set up I use while playing, adjust your 
settings to suit if you don't like mine. I try to limit all distractions, and 
the SH series games have enough of them.
 
1. MALL
1st floor
(X out all the cut scenes) 
Heather appears in the bathroom, run to window and exit room. Turn right, run 
down the ally and enter the door on the right. Turn right at the 
intersection, run the length of the storage area hallway to and through the 
double doors at the end. 
Enter the 1st floor Mall shopping area, turn left, enter the "BOUTIQUE" (X cut 
scene), pick up the ammo, load the pistol and equip the ammo for it. Exit the 
room from the rear door.
Run an "S" turn into the short hallway on the left and exit through the door. 
Climb the stairs to the 2nd floor storage area. 

(I'm calling this type of monster Lunging Pink Peanut Thing, hence known as 
LPST. These guys have a wicked fast lunge when you get close; they seem to 
defy the laws of physics. They can hit you coming or going, even if they're 
facing in the other direction. If there's more than one, and they're bunched 
up figure on getting hit)

2nd floor 
Enter the corridor the LPST is in, it is almost always in the middle and 
about half way down the hallway moving toward or away from Heather. Move 
close enough to alert it, pull over to one side of the hall and stop. Wait 
for the LPST to move over to your side of the corridor. Back up if you need 
to so as to ensure your path around the LPST, and then swing around it 
thereby passing without damage. Enter the 2nd floor shopping area of the Mall. 
Enter the "BAKERY", pick up the (TONGS), and then return to the 2nd floor 
storage area. Be mindful of the LPST, luring it to the side if necessary. 
Turn left at the intersection and enter the last door on the right. Pick up 
the HD and ammo and use the tongs for the (KEY) and exit the room. 

(4 LPSTs) At least 3 of them will be close; they will have about 5 to 6 feet 
of space between them. Count on taking at least one hit. If you don't fall to 
the floor, keep going. Sometimes you can slam into one and slide off without 
damage, but don't count on it happening with all LPSTs.) 
Weave through them and don't hang around, if they gang you restart. 

(I think they may get a little confused with the weaving when there are more 
than 2 of them. If you don't get hung up on one, you can make it through)
Return to the shopping area, turn right from the door and run to the "BOOK 
STORE". 

(There are big things walking around the shopping area. They're slow compared 
to the LPSTs, but they can smack you with their big honkin' arms. The arms 
have a long spike thing that shoots out from it causing fatal damage to 
Heather. They remind me of giant walking attack dog suits, hence known as 
GWADS) 

Run to the rear of the Book store, pick up the ammo on the way and open the 
door. (8352)
(X cut scene with Claudia) 
Head south to the elevator enter, (X all cut scenes) Pick up the (RADIO), 
shut it off and exit the elevator. 

(There are at least 3 split faced BPCs in this area and one is very close, so 
don't flop around. The body style of the BPCs remind me of a chunky old 
Mastiff I knew named pork chop, add the split face in and you have butterfly 
pork chop, hence known as BPCs)

Make two right turns out of the elevator; (careful of the BPC) follow the 
hallway to the intersection and enter the door directly across. Get the 
(MEDS) and exit the room. Turn left and run by the last BPC. Pass through the 
double doors to the west end of the 1st floor shopping area. 
Avoid the 3 GWADS patrolling the shopping area. Run forward; tap (S/V) to 
locate the other hallway. Run its length, turn right at the corner and enter 
the 2nd door on your left. Pick up the (LIGHT) and the ammo and exit. Turn 
left and enter the next door on your left. Pick up the (BLEACH) and exit the 
room. Turn left, run to the WOHD (wrecked overhead door). Turn right and run 
as you tap (S/V) avoiding the GWADS and possibly 2 BPCs. Enter the 
(BOUTIQUE); pick up the (HANGER) and exit the room, Return to the WOHD and to 
the shopping area, there may be up to 4 GWADS and one of them may be in the 
bathroom hallway. Once in the open shopping area, turn right, run to the last 
OHD on the right and enter.
Run to the base of the ladder and use the hanger. Climb to the 2nd floor, run 
to the right side of the 3rd floor stairs (LO) and climb. Enter the 1st door on 
the right, (RESTAURANT) move to the dog and take the (COOKED KEY). Move to 
the rear of the room, get the HDs, and exit. Return to the 2nd floor via the 
same side of the stairs. Turn left, run passed the TVs and the (SAVE SYMBOL) 
to the last door on the left. (LON), (JEWLERY SHOP) Take the (WALNUT), (LO) 
and exit the room via the rear door. (1GWADS) Bear left run the hallway and 
enter the short hallway on the right, move to the door at the end and use the 
cooked key. (BAR), Pick up the HDs and exit via 2nd floor shopping area door. 
Bear right around the center area to the double doors on the right, (LON), 
pick up the (DETERGENT) and exit through the rear door. Run to the fan at the 
end of the hallway and shut it off. Enter door on left, combine the bleach 
and detergent, "X cut scene", start the fan and re-enter door. Run the 
hallway and enter the 2nd door on the right. Pick up ammo and jerky and exit 
room. (LO) Turn right run to intersection, turn right and enter door on left. 
(1 GWADS) Run through the room and exit to the huge open shopping area with 
two big holes in the floor. 
Turn left and run across the center area. There're a couple of BPCs and a new 
thing. 

(Not sure about these guys, they appear insectoid, they can walk on their 
needle legs, if that's what they are, and they can stab you with them. They 
can also float or fly around. When they do, they rotate and or swing. For the 
most part, they can be ignored if you have the room to avoid them. On the 
lower levels I have made it by them on narrow walkways, even when there has 
been more than one and they were grouped close. If you shoot at one and hit 
it, it will make a bee line to you wicked fast and likely hit you hard. They 
are best avoided whenever possible. Hence known as bugs)

You will approach a narrow walkway, run through it to the opposite side of 
the shopping area and enter the double doors on the right. (TORTURE ROOM?), 
Move to the stretcher with the vise and use it on the walnut acquiring the 
(MOON STONE).
Exit the room, turn right, run to and exit the shopping area through the 
door. 
(Hope one of the bugs doesn't smack you) 
Run clockwise around the central area to the double doors of the BAR on the 
right. Avoid the first two LPSTs by quickly moving counterclockwise around 
the perimeter of the room and running behind the bar. Unload enough rounds 
into the LPST behind the bar to drop it and then kick it till you can pass. 
(In the upper extreme modes, the LPST is too difficult to pass in such a 
narrow area without taking damage.) 
Exit the restaurant to the storage area. Be mindful of the GWADS and return 
to the 2nf fl. shopping area via the Jewelry store. Turn right, run to the 
left side of the 3rd floor stairs and climb. Hold (S/V) as you run to the door 
at the opposite end of the small 3ed floor area. Quickly use the Moon stone 
on the door. Run to the ladder, reload the pistol and climb down the ladder. 
(X cut scene). 

(CONSIDER SAVING BEFORE CLIMBING DOWN)

MALL BOSS
(Shecky the Uncircumcised)

(Severe Damage (SD) hits resonate through the room. The sound is quite 
different when penetrating his hide. 
Make sure you use the quick load between each emergence.
Even though you aren't hitting him through the mouth all the time, I believe 
the hits are cumulative; you can see the little blood spurts on contact. 
I have relied on (SD) hits alone and it does take longer.
You always begin the fight from the same spot in the room. What does change 
is Shecky's entry point.
Unlike the earlier extreme levels, you no longer have guaranteed target lock. 
You may be surprised to notice that Heather is now firing at the wall instead 
of Shecky. I think there may be a distance/accuracy limiter that kicks in on 
Ext 10. You must stay closer to Shecky to ensure target lock let alone (SD) 
hits)

(XCS) As soon as you are free, if it isn't obvious that Shecky is approaching 
from the rear or the tunnel to her left, press and hold S/V to locate him. 
Strafe left to position Heather directly in front of Shecky, unless he is 
emerging from the same side. If this is the case, then you'll have to run to 
and turn into him for the face off. Hold S/V to keep him in front you and 
fire two (SD) rounds into his face. 

(From this point, one of three events will take place; 
1.	Shecky may move off, it usually happens if you fire off more than 2 
rounds into his mouth. He'll either back into the same tunnel or move 
off into a different one on the other side of the room.
2.	Preferably, he'll slam the floor allowing what I consider the best 
sequence to continue.
3.	Shecky will remain maw open and kind of wavering about for a few 
seconds longer than usual.)

If Shecky follows option #1 and moves on, (still holding S/V), begin firing 
and follow him across the room as he exits. Position Heather in front of the 
middle tunnel of that side, reload and quick spin to put the tunnels behind 
her for the next sequence.

If Shecky follows option #2, screams and slams the floor, (continue holding 
S/V) as soon as he slams the floor, begin firing as you strafe to the left or 
right. Don't fire off more than 6 rounds during the strafe and Shecky lunge 
across the room. Wait for him to retract and open up his maw again before you 
empty the rest of your clip. Hopefully, you'll make two more (SD) hits on him 
before he moves off. If he slowly moves off across the room, follow up with 
another clip. Then position Heather at the middle tunnel, reload and quick 
spin for the next sequence.

(From here you can get the #2 option to repeat. If after Shecky opens up his 
maw for the second time, you only fire two rounds, hopefully (SD) he will go 
through a second lunge sequence. I got a triple lunge event once in all the 
18 runs through the game. I'm not sure whether the double or triple lunge is 
a good thing or not, only one time did I get below 2 minutes when I was able 
to get a double.)

Option #3; Shecky maintains an open maw and wavers a bit longer than usual. 
Hopefully, fire off two more (SD) rounds and then he'll close up and move on. 
If he slowly moves off, follow up with another clip. Then position Heather in 
front of the middle tunnel, reload and quick spin for the next sequence. This 
event is one good reason to continue to hold (S/V).

(To avoid the lunge, you must be the distance of his opened flaps and then 
some to remain upright and undamaged) 

If Shecky moves on, continue holding (S/V) begin firing and follow him to the 
other side of the room. Reload; position Heather in front of the middle 
tunnel and quick spin for the next sequence.

As at the beginning sequence, press "S/V" as Shecky returns to locate him if 
he isn't approaching Heather from the tunnels to her rear. Repeat the above 
procedure until Shecky falls. 
Sometimes Shecky will blast across the room after a firing sequence, so be 
alert at all times to avoid a knock down. I truly hate being knocked to the 
floor,

(X cut scene) and head for the partially opened OHD. Run toward the foyer's 
glass doors, turn right, enter the restaurant and pick up all the goodies. 
Make sure you get the "JERKY" in the rear left end of the room. Exit the 
room, and pass through the glass doors. (X the cut scenes) Continue on to the 
Subway.
______________________________________________________________________

2. SUBWAY
Follow the corridor to the intersection, turn right, continue and pass 
through the door. Continue to the Concourse, "Sub Level 1", hence known as 
(SL1) (big open area) Turn hard left toward and through the only open 
turnstile. 

(There are 5 sets of stairs in the (SL1); the important set is the south 
stairs and happens to be closest to you after passing through the turnstile). 

Run down the (South) stairs to (SL2), make two rights and run through the 
door. Bear left, across to the northeastern end of (SL2). Short hallway, turn 
left, (LO) and down to Platform 1A. (Big room, 2, 3 or 4 BPCs, 2 sets of 
stairs down.) Make two hard rights out of the stairwell, run along the wall, 
two hard rights and down the stairs. Take the HD and return to big room 
above. Turn left, run across the big room to the east side and down the 2nd 
set of stairs. Take the (NUTCRACKER), and then return to "SL2". Run to the 
(CHAINED GATE), use the nutcracker and head down to Platform 2A. Enter the 
subway car and pick up the ammo and shot gun. Arm and load the SG. Exit the 
car to find two blubber things, one is thoroughly blocking the stairs up and 
the other is lying down in your way but not blocking your route to the next 
set of stairs down.
(Waste of Flesh hence known as "WOF",)
Ignore both WOFs, run to the opposite end of the room and take the stairs 
down. Run down the stairs, make two rights, and run to and down the 2nd set of 
stairs on the right to Platform 3B. Run to the end of the platform; notice 
the lighted door down on the tracks. Climb down and access the door, you 
can't get in. Turn, avoid the 3 BPCs, run back to the platform and climb it 
before the train smacks you. Now, you must run to the opposite end of the 
series of long platforms. Pass the 1st set of stairs; pass through the gate 
and avoid the 2 BPCs. Run the length of the room to the stairs at the end. 
Run up and over the 3rd set of stairs to the end of the platform. Pick up the 
one HD on the bench (LO) and enter the train car.

Unless your health meter is flashing fast, you should be able to survive a 
hit. If you are flashing fast, take an HD before leaving the 1st car, and then 
if you get hit, you can keep going.
The train ride has a low difficulty, just keep running. The first car with 
LPSTs has 3, the aisle is narrow, and the LPSTs are close together and fast. 
I almost always make it through them without damage. The second car with 
LPSTs has 1 BLPST and 1 LPST. Run up to the BLPST so that you can shot gun it 
to the floor at the intersection. You need the room to get around it. Drop 
the 2nd LPST to run around it. One more car will have a WOF, which is always 
easy to pass.  One lighted car has SG rounds on a bench on the left. The next 
car has 2 boxes of pistol ammo on the right as you enter the car. 
(X cut scenes)
Exit the last car, turn left and run to the door at the far end of the 
platform.

3. SEWERS

Most of the uglies big, small and floating are more or less easily avoided if 
you are halfway decent at dodging. A few will have to be put down to pass 
safely.

(The bloody walls area drains health fast. However, if your health meter 
starts fast flashing don't worry too much, you won't die, at least I haven't 
so far)

(LON) Run down the bloody stairs, turn right and run through the door at the 
end of the corridor. Turn left, weave through the bugs and enter the only 
door on the right. (1LPST), (LO), Run to and through the door on the right. 
(3 LPSTs) Move forward enough to see the first LPST exit the opening on the 
left and turn away. As the 2nd LPST exits, it will turn left or right. Run 
toward the opening, swing wide right and then hard left into the opening 
sliding along the left wall. Pass the 3rd LPST, and enter the door. (LOCKER 
ROOM) Pick up the (MAUL), (Q/T) and take the FAK off of the shelf. Exit via 
the other door. (1BLPST and 2LPSTs) Turn right, run up to and fire one round 
into the BLPST dropping it to the floor. Run past it to the first door on the 
right, (LON) pick up the (BOTTLE, JERKY & HD). (LO) Return to the corridor. 
(The LPSTs are closer together now, and the big one will be flopping about on 
the floor.)
Cross the wall on the opposite side the hallway, turn left, and then right at 
the intersection and run through the OHD. (3 bugs) Run to and through the 
first door on the left, you'll be running between two of the bugs to reach 
the door. Run to and through the door at the end of the corridor. 
(Dumb bloody cut scenes)
Turn right and run, turn right at the intersection and pass through the OHD. 
(3LPSTs, 1 BLPST, (LO) Proceed to the 2nd narrow corridor on the right; enter 
the room at the end. (LON) Pick up the ammo on the desk, the (OIL) from the 
heater and the HDs on the other side of the desk. (LO) Return to the 
corridor, turn left, stay close to the wall on the left and enter the narrow 
corridor on the left. Pass through the door at the end of the hall, (LON) put 
the oil into the pump's tank, start the pump and climb down the ladder.

Bear left; run up the stairs, bear right to the 2nd set of stairs. Exit the 
door at the top of the stairs, run to the end of the long corridor with 
stairs and exit. Jump down into the water, (LO) turn right and run the long 
and narrow walkway past the 2 BLPSTs. Once passed the BLPST on the right, a 
door will show up on the right, climb up to the walkway, run to and enter the 
door on the right. We have another long corridor with stairs, and a door at 
the end. Pick up the (DRYER) and Ampoule. Back to the sewer, drop down to the 
water, More often than not, one of the BLPSTs is walking past the OHD and 
goes for Heather. Pump only enough rounds to drop it, then climb up and enter 
the OHD. (LO) There are 3 LPSTs near the intersection and 1 BLPST approaching 
from the right side of the intersection. Stay along the left wall and pass 
the first LPST. Turn hard left avoiding the BLPST. Scrape Heather's shoulder 
against the left wall as you pass the second and third LPST. Swing right and 
enter the door on the right. Pick up the HD, exit the room from the other 
door, plug the dryer into the socket and toss it into the water. 
Exit the room at the other end. Turn right and enter the door at the end. 
Drop down into the water, climb up the other side. Turn left and follow the 
narrow walkway to the opening on the right. Enter the door at the end.

HD to get out of the red)
Climb to and enter the 5th floor.

5th Fl;
Turn left, run past the elevators, turn left and enter the double doors on 
the left. Pass through the room to the door on the right at the far end. Turn

about a quarter of the way to the end. Move to the right or left side; stop 
and wait luring the first LPST over to your side. Swing around the LPST and 
continue on to the next two LPSTs and the right turn at the end. The two 
LPSTs are easy to pass, take the first door on the left (Office). (LON) Pick 
up the HD on the front desk and the (JACK) off the shelf on the far left

(XCS)

5th Fl;
(LO) Make two lefts and one right and enter the door with the light over it 
at the end of the short hallway. (1 BPC, 2 Plats) Turn left run to 
intersection, turn right and enter door at end of short hallway. Pick up the 
(MATCHES) and return to the hallway. Step left, drop meat, step right, watch 
for the Plat and the BPC and run. Stay to the right side of the hallway, run 
about halfway down the hallway and drop another Jerky. It's pretty dangerous 
now, the BPC is loose and there's a plat in the dark. Strafe left and run the 
rest of the way to the door. 

(About 2/3rds of the time, I can make this run without dropping meat, about 
80% of the time if I drop meat halfway and about 90+% of the time if I drop 
at the door and halfway along the hallway)

Enter the door directly across from the one you just passed through, run to 
the big picture on the wall, stand facing the trash barrel. Combine the Pork, 
Oxydol and Matches and click use. (X CS), and enter the new door, turn right 
move down the stairs, (LO), and enter the door on the right.

4th Fl;
(There are a total of 8 platypuses in these 2 winding corridors, 5 in the 
first section. Both corridors are very dark, the Plats are fast and difficult 
to see, I recommend taking a med to get you into the green)

Strafe left, drop the meat, sidestep, to the right. (S/V) for the Plat, stay 
on the right side and move about 2/3rds the distance to the inside corner and 
wait a second. 
(Sometimes one or two Plats will blast around the corner and knock Heather 
over on their way to the meat) 
If not, move to the corner, drop meat, sidestep to the left, move to the 
outside corner, turn right and (S/V) for the Plats. Let them pass you, stay 
to the left and run to the next inside corner, drop meat, sidestep to the 
right, move to the outside corner, turn and (S/V) for the Plats. Wait for 
them to see the meat before running by. Repeat this maneuver at the next 
inside corner if you haven't already passed all 5 Plats and exit the hallway.
Enter the next hallway, Most times, this first leg of the hall is empty and 
often the second leg is too. If so move into the 3rd section at the outside 
corner turn and (S/V) the length of the hallway. Most likely you'll see them 
on their way toward Heather. Drop some meat, and then sidestep to the left. 
(S/V) for Plats them move to the next inside corner and repeat the maneuvers 
mentioned until you exit through the door at the end of the corridor. 

(Always use the (S/V) to locate the Plats and be patient enough to let the 
Plats go for the bait)

Take the coin off the desk, and use it on the vending machine, (LIFE 
INSURANCE KEY) (X CS). 
(1 BPC 2 plats) Exit the room, Strafe left, if Plats drop meat, if not move 
to the inside corner and drop meat. Strafe right, move to the outside corner 
and turn left. If clear run to and unlock the door with the light over it. 
Continue running, make one left turn and a right turn to the elevator and 
enter. Push for the 1st floor.

1st Fl;
Make two lefts and one right out of the elevator to the door at the end of 
the short hallway. Unlock it with the Life Insurance Key. (LO) Turn left, 
stay to the left and run to the inside corner. Drop meat, sidestep right, run 
to the outside corner and turn left. (S/V) for a Plat, if one is close, wait 
for it to cross over toward the meat before running by it. Stay to the right 
side, as you make your way to the last door on the left, eyeball for the 2nd 
Plat. If Plat #2 is not stationary but is moving toward you, drop meat and 
sidestep to the left. Enter the door on the left, move to and read the papers 
on the stretcher. Exit the room, follow the corridor back to the 2nd door on 
the right and enter. Run to the intersection, turn left, run to the end of 
the hall and out of the double doors.

5. OUTSIDE, ON THE STREET
Arm and load the pistol. Turn left and start running, stay on the sidewalk, 
eventually an alley on the left turns up, take it. Run all the way to the 
steps leading to the back door of the apartment building Heather and her dad 
live at. 
You might want to save here. 
Run to Rm. 102 and use the key to enter.

APARTMENT ROOF BOSS
MANNY THE SLASHER

This is the fastest method with the least amount of ammo used that I've found 
to date for smoked Manny, minus the silenced "Unlimited SMG". (Albeit a tad 
dangerous if you cluster it up) 

(LON), enter inventory, attach the silencer to the pistol load it, and ensure 
that the (SG) is fully loaded and in the weapons ready slot. "SUPPLIES", 
equip SG ammo. Return to the roof. 

Follow this pistol maneuver exactly and you shouldn't miss one round! 
Once on the roof, tap the fire button three times.
 
(Manny will be on you and may even thrust at Heather but it will miss). 

Once the third round has been fired, strafe to the left or right. As you 
begin the strafe, quickly fire off two more rounds. 
(Don't release the trigger on the last two rounds Manny has run off about 40% 
of the time when I have released between the last two. About 70% of the time, 
Manny goes down on the 4th round) 
Manny will drop on the 4th or 5th round. You need to have him close to ensure 
good hits and to see him drop. As soon as he drops, (LO), take one step back, 
switch to the SG, return to the roof.

From this point on, you'll be using the SG. Press and hold (S/V) to keep 
Manny in (LOS). Fire off 2 rounds, after the first round he may begin to rise 
from the deck, if not, put a 3rd round into him. 

(Another reason for holding (S/V) is to see whether Manny turns to or away 
from Heather when he rises up from the deck. He is so close that if he is 
facing away from Heather, you can get off another round and drop him for 
another salvo.) 

In either case, release the trigger after the 2nd or 3rd round, at this point, 
he will be up and may be moving toward Heather, if away, follow the 
italicized info above. 
If he's facing Heather, even though he's close, approach him at a run to 
disrupt his possible attack; swing around to his side or rear and fire a 
close up to drop him again. Manny is much smarter and faster in the upper 
extreme modes, so you must be accurate and prepared for him to turn with 
Heather as she swings around Manny. 
Press and hold (S/V) you may get 2 or 3 more rounds into him before he rises 
up again. Tap your reload button while Manny rises.

Don't fret if he runs off, use the left or right turn buttons to follow him, 
he'll stop shortly and begin searching for Heather again. Run up to and 
behind him to repeat the above process. 
Sometimes he isn't facing Heather and doesn't take off at a run; he walks 
off, giving you the time to make it close for another salvo. 
With this method, I have taken him out with as few as 4 pistol and 12 SG 
rounds and no Meds. On average, it's 5 pistol and 15 SG rounds.

The real bennies come into play if you have to chase him and take him down 
near the penthouse area or at a corner of the roof. If he is between you and 
the penthouse/fence and or parapet, he seems to jamb up brain wise; he 
stands, and walks or runs off toward the walls or fence. The barriers prevent 
forward motion but he continues to walk. Showing his backside and giving you 
a soft target for a faster kill.

I "THINK" the hit ratio depends on fire rate and distance from target. My 
reason for strafing left or right instead of just backing away is to maintain 
close proximity to Manny.

I have taken him out in 7 seconds using the (USMG) till he drops and 1 SG 
round to the back. The rest of the time I take him out in just over a minute.

From the end of the Slasher fight, "X" out all the cut scenes to Heather 
standing, run to her room and get the stun gun and batteries. Leave the room 
and exit the apartment through the kitchen. Turn right to the intersection in 
the hallway, turn left and exit the building. "X out all the cut scenes to 
Heather standing in the Jack's Inn room. 
I hate jumping the car ride to Silent Hill, for me, its one of those moments 
in video games that makes them worth playing. Killer music with a great FMV, 
but what are you gonna do when you're speeding.

X out for Lenny

HOSPITAL BOSS

LENNY THE ROTTEN

To date, I haven't found a reliable and consistent method to quickly deal 
with Lenny; even the USMG is useless on him in the extreme modes. When he's 
moving through the water, he's untouchable. If you're too close when he 
rises, he'll smack you. Lenny is too unpredictable; he doesn't stay still 
long enough for a proper Katana slashing. If and when you do luck out and 
catch him, only the slower overhead attack makes contact. 
(NOTE; if you're playing during the day and you have screen glare or the room 
is too bright, Lenny completely disappears with lights off. Even though 
Heather turns her head when holding the "CAUTION" button, it's too 
distracting to have the light off).

(While researching techniques, I did luck out and make one take down at one 
minute and twenty-eight seconds in extreme 4.
In general, the times are almost always at or above the 2 minute mark. So if 
you're going for the gold, I suggest saving before confronting Lenny and 
reloading from there instead of using the CONTINUE option). 

I believe your time depends on a number of things, 

1. Whether you hit him from the front, side or back. 
2. Distance from target 
3. Whether you have adequate Heather control to follow him.
4. Constant S/V control.
5. How efficient you are on getting back into inventory for reloading.
 
I'm not too sure yet whether the light being off or on matters much, 
although, I'm leaning toward (LO) for the chase and (LON) for the shooting. I 
have had fast completions with the light off after the first series of 
rounds. I also have fast times with the light on during each encounter. 
(With the light off, follow Lenny around the room watching for him to slow 
down. Move within ten feet, preferably beside him, turn the light on just 
before he rises from the water and press and hold "CAUTION and FIRE", you 
need to press caution first or she won't reliably lock onto him before you 
fire off the first round) 

Your hope is to have him thrash about in the water for a salvo of at least 
six rounds. 
If you're in front of him and too close, he'll rise out of the water and 
smack you. This isn't a good thing when using the SG, because you can't 
retreat while shooting. That in mind, this is my current method for dealing 
with Lenny.

Spill the blood, (XCS) Inventory, ensure that SG shells are equipped and a 
fully loaded SG is in Heather's hands. Climb down; (XCS), Hold 
CAUTION/FIRE/BACK, Heather will take one step back and fire off one round as 
the flooded room materializes. Hope Lenny goes into a splashing fit. If so, 
continue firing on him, always keeping count of the number of rounds fired. 
If he crawls off, tap the RELOAD/RESAMPLE button, (LO) and begin stalking 
Lenny. This situation happens more often than not.

As soon as you fire off the 6th round, release the CAUTION/FIRE and begin fast 
tapping the INVENTORY button. Reload the SG manually and quickly return to 
the job of chunking Lenny.
 
(Believe it or not, RELOAD/RESAMPLE isn't fast enough to keep him on the 
floor for a second salvo. Even though manually loading through Inventory 
takes longer, virtual time must stop when in inventory.)

If you are lucky and fast enough, he'll stay down for another 6 if not, he 
might stand for round or two and then drop under for a crawl about.
 
Tap RELOAD/RESAMPLE to ensure that you have 6 in the tube, (LO), hold down 
(S/V), and begin to follow Lenny about the room. Try to stay near the middle 
of the room, between short walls. 

(Room is rectangular, long walls are ends with rotating gears and protruding 
steel girders and short walls are the bare ones.
The Room is broken up into 4 quarters, |25|50|75|100|; stay within the 50 and 
75 sections.)

This allows you to spend less time running about and more time turning to 
keep track of the rotten one. Lenny never contacts the long walls, so this 
puts him within your prime firing range at the long ends of the room "IF" you 
stay within the ends of the |50 and 75| boundaries.
If you're following Lenny and you see him slow down, you know that he will be 
rising within a few seconds. I believe your optimum firing positions are from 
the side and in front of him. If you are behind him, most likely he will stay 
down for 6 or fewer rounds then take off or stand. If you take him from the 
side, (my preference) and he stays down for the first 6 rounds, begin tapping 
INVENTORY as soon as the 6th round has been fired for a manual reload and 
quickly return, firing as you reappear. Most times, I get 10 to 12 into him, 
a couple of times; I've pumped 18 into him before he took off. If you take 
him from the front, ensure that you are at least 10 feet from Lenny, or he'll 
rise up and swat Heather. A swipe from his flipper arm will screw your 
timing. Most of the time, I get at least 7 to 8 rounds into him from the 
front a few time 10 rounds. In all cases, as soon as he drops down and crawls 
off, quick load, (LO) and begin stalking his rotten butt till you get the 
ending cut scene.

1st Fl;
Exit the room, turn right and run the length of the corridor to the door on 
the left at the end. Exit the hospital through the front door, (X CS) Return 
to your room at the Jack's INN and (X CS) with Vincent. Beat feet to the 
Amusement Park.
______________________________________________________________________

8. LAKESIDE AMUSEMENT PARK

Enter the amusement park, pass the bloody bunnies, bear to the left (LO) and 
enter the door on the left, (SOUVENIR AVENUE). (2 GWADS), Turn right, circle 
around to the (SWEET FACTORY, bunny sign to right of door), enter, (LON) move 
around the center table and pick up the Ampoule. Turn around grab the jerky 
off the counter, turn left swing around the counter to the selves at the far 
left end of the store. Inspect the cookie boxes, and then begin to leave. 
Listen for the boxes to crash to the floor as you leave, then return to the 
fallen boxes and pick up the (ROLLER COASTER KEY) (LO) Exit the store, turn 
right, and fire enough rounds into the closest GWADS to drop him. Run past 
the second one to the lighted door with the (MOUNTAIN COASTER) sign above and 
enter. (2 BPCs) Run straight out from door to the metal gate. (2 BUGS) Turn 
left, run through the cue to the (Mountain Roller Coaster Platform) sign on 
the metal fence. Turn right, climb the stairs to the control room (LON) and 
use the key on the door. 
(Sometimes a bug makes its way to the open side of the ladder and can damage 
Heather as she climbs. You may have to stop and drop the bug to avoid 
damage). 
Grab the HD in the control room, shut the coaster motor off and exit the 
control room for the tracks. Run the tracks till you get the cut scene, "X" 
it and keep "Xing" till Heather is standing. Turn around, run to and enter 
the haunted house enclosure. 

BORLEY'S HAUNTED MANSION

(Unless you ace the maze 80+% of the time, I suggest you seriously consider 
saving at the Borley steps)
 
Follow the cue around past the ticket booth with the save symbol. 
(It pays to have the route down in memory). 
1st Run; L, R, L, R, R, L, R, L.
2nd Run; L, R, L, R, R, L, R, L.
Continue moving from one room to the next. Be careful of the spike ceiling. 
From the spike room to the outside, you're in the hallway maze and chased by 
the deadly noisy red light thing, as you know, don't let it touch you. 

(Frankly, my success rate on this maze, (2 in 5) is dismal at best. Rote 
knowledge of the route and no amount of practice seem to improve my odds. 
Aside from the Plats, for me, this is the most frustrating segment of the 
game, so I save. In extreme 10, the sphere of influence of the red light has 
expanded, taking its toll on Heather. Whereas in the lower modes the area 
directly in front of an exit door allowed Heather a respite from the run, now 
there's no guarantee, only the area after passing through the door is safe. I 
was hoping the (S/V) button would help but no joy.) 

OUTSIDE
(2 GWADS) Press and hold (S/V) as you run through the opening in the wooden 
fence. (1 BPC 1 GWADS) (CAROUSEL AREA), Run along the fence to Heather's 
left, turn left at the opening to the metal gate at the end. Pass through the 
gate and straight to and through the next gate (bugs GWADS). The bench to the 
left has SG ammo and an HD. Run the perimeter of this room, up the stage 
steps and pick up the shoe. Pick up the chain on the bleachers and return to 
the carousel area. Attach the chain to the gate, climb onto the carousel, 
locate the hub and attach the chain to the bar on it. Move into the carousel 
control room take the ammo and start it up. (X CS) Exit the control room, 
enter the gate and (X out the Douglas cut scene).
Exit straight through the gate, turn right and enter the "PURPLE" door on the 
right. Take the mask and exit the room, enter the next door on the right and 
move to the mannequins. Put the shoe on the right and the mask on the left 
then exit the room through the other door at the far left end. (2 BPCs 1 BUG) 
Run straight out to the wall, turn right and pass through the busted opening 
in the fence. Run straight to the next gate on the left. 

CAROUSEL

BLOWING INANIMATE HORSES AWAY
Climb onto the (CAROUSEL); Ensure that you are armed with the SG. Move to the 
first moving horse on the right instead of the left. 
The objective is simple; you still have tons of SG ammo and can pick up more 
in the Church. If you don't flop around you can easily move from one horse to 
the next. You can kill a horse with one shot from the front side and rear as 
long as you are pointing directly at it, close enough and it is below the 
halfway point in its cycle. Always keep track of the number of rounds fired 
and quick load between horses or while waiting on an up stroke.

(It takes two to three overhead hits to stop the horse when using the Katana, 
and more with any other melee weapon. It takes one round to stop it with the 
SG. 
I discovered this during a game when I forgot to pick up the Katana)


CAROUSEL BOSS

4 GOTH GIRLS FROM HELL
This is the fastest method I've found so far outside of the (USMG). 
Load the SG, move toward the approaching GG. When she gets close stop and 
wait for her to start her attack. The attack sound provided by the game is 
obvious, fire as soon as you hear the attack sound, if you get the timing 
right, you won't have to move from this point unless she runs off. Hold your 
ground; wait for the attack sound and fire, the 1st GG died in 5 SG rounds GG1 
is usually the one that takes off for a run.

This method works for all four incarnates, but, with a slight variation for 
#4. You need to get in close; you'll hear her chamber a round as you run 
around the carousel looking for her. Do not approach her from the front, move 
to the side of a horse and wait for her or approach her from the rear. Wait 
for the attack sound and fire. 
GG #4 takes considerably more ammo to drop, it will be a great help if you 
have a clear "Line Of Sight". You need (LOS) to keep close enough to prevent 
her from emptying a clip or two into Heather. Heather can take being pistol 
whipped more times than by the lead expelled from it. GG will likely rise up 
2, possibly 3 times depending on the number of good hits you put into her. If 
any of the GGs runs off, your only recourse is to run her down. Try to stay 
in the middle aisle; (between the horses) I've never seen her move to the 
outer perimeter of the carousel. She either stays in the middle aisle or 
moves toward the hub. It's best to approach them from their rear, you get 
more rounds off before she tries to guard.

When complete, exit the carousel via the narrow ramp to and through the 
squishy tunnel to the door at the end. Follow the next tunnel to the end, 
climb the stairs to the door and enter the Chapel.
______________________________________________________________________

9. CHURCH

X the cut scene. Arm with the SG, run to the altar, take the (EYE OF NIGHT) 
tarot card, and exit the door on the right. (LO) Follow the hallway to the 
intersection on the left, turn left and enter the door. (2GWADS) Exit the 
room through the other door on the same side. Turn left, run to the 
intersection, turn left again and run by the WOF that's sitting or lying on 
the floor to the door. Move over to the painting of the angel and wait for 
the invisible crying child to walk through the painting. Once done, keep 
tapping action, enter the door and pass through the door at the other end. 
(Slasher) A long narrow "L" shaped walkway with the elevator. Drop the 
Slasher with a close up round, your life will be easier in the future. Run to 
and enter the last door on the right. (LIBRARY) Get the (MOON) tarot card, (X 
CS) take the book and return to the elevator.

2nd Fl;
Make a right turn to door on the left, long hallway with a Slasher, easy to 
pass. (MORGUE) Pick up the (HANGED MAN) tarot card and the ammo. Return to 
the elevator area, pass it and enter the 4th door on the right. (2 bugs and 1 
Slasher) Another long narrow "L" shaped hallway. Turn right, run to the 
Slasher and drop it with a close up then enter the last door on the right. 1st 
door on left, (2 GWADS) exit this room from the far left end. Long hallway, 
run toward the end, when the camera change occurs stop, look for the "d" on 
the wall and wait for the invisible crying child. Once she passes through the 
wall, access the wall; pass through this room to (ALESSA"S RECOVERY ROOM) 
Take the (FOOL) tarot card from the book, the ampoule from the desk and exit 
the room to the long hallway. Turn right, WOF lying down in front of door, 
enter door. (3GWADS) Remain on the right side of the room while running till 
you pass the second GWAD. Pass through door at the far left end. Turn left 
and left again at the end of the long hallway to door at end of short hall, 
(ALESSA"S BEDROOM). Take the (BRASS KEY) off the wall, exit the room and 
return to the elevator and then the 1st floor.

1st Fl;
Turn right, enter the door on the left and exit at the other end. (LON) Turn 
left and exit the door at the end. (WOF) Stay close to the wall on Heather's 
right, run past him, turn right at the corner and enter the first door on the 
right. (Full of Slashers and Platypus disorienting) Swing hard left through 
the room to the door on the same side at the other end. (Bloody Hallway) Turn 
right, then bear left, unlock door at the end of the short hallway. Run to 
the opening on the left, turn into it take the door on the left, avoiding the 
WOF. 
(It takes too long to kill it and I've never made it past this one without 
damage.) 
(SCHOOL ROOM) Exit from the other end. Go straight to the 2nd door on the 
right; take the (HIGH PRIESTESS) tarot card and leave. Return to the bloody 
hallway via the school room. (Bloody Hallway) Turn right and enter the door 
on the left. 
(Disorienting room with Platypus and Slashers, keep your light on for this 
room, it helps orient Heather as she passes through) 
Exit through the door same wall at other end. Surprise, this is a first, the 
WOF is waiting for me at the door. 
(One other time, both WOFs were laying down blocking the intersection, most 
of the time it moves back to its default position)
Turn left at the intersection and pass through the door. Run to and enter the 
door on the right just passed the fallen angel picture. Run to and enter the 
elevator for the 2nd floor.

2nd Fl;
Everything around Heather is getting bloody and blobby. Exit the elevator, 
turn left, run to and enter the 4th door on the right. (2 bugs) Turn right, 
run to and enter the last door on the right. Return to Alessa's room at the 
end of the hallway. (ALESSA's ROOM) Complete the tarot card puzzle on the 
door. 

THIS IS A REAL GOOD PLACE TO SAVE; 

(The boss fight is a trying and long event.) 
Run the long narrow hallway to the big room, turn right and pass through the 
big double doors. X the cut scene, swallow the red pill from the locket, (X 
CS) and drop into the hole.  
______________________________________________________________________

END BOSS
CLAUDIA QUEEN BIATCHA

(The routine is basic, the least dangerous and most reliable method I have 
found to deal with Claudia. 
In extreme levels below 8 after the low swipe, a close up blast to the head 
with the SG works for 3 cycles and only on the right side of the room, never 
the left. After the 3rd attempt, instead of swiping and standing, she sends 
out a set of flames you can't avoid and wrecks your rhythm to boot. I never 
got a decent time trying this either. 

Basically, I think the pistol and SMG method puts more lead into Claudia over 
the period of conflict and this may be what the AI is looking for.
Healing from damage, I've found that the equivalent of 3 HDs keeps Heather 
strong enough to take a flame hit. 1 HD and one FAK provide the same 
protection. Any less and she'll die, any more and it's a waste of meds.)

Back up to the wall, arm with the pistol. Begin firing and strafe to your 
preferred end of the arch. Continue to fire as Claudia drops down and swipes. 
The second round after the swipe will produce the flames that ark around the 
ring and homes in on Heather. I begin my strafe after the 1st round following 
the swipe. Continue firing while strafing from one edge of the ring to the 
other avoiding the fire that spews forth. Maintain this regimen, strafing 
from left to right while firing. You can tell when Claudia is getting 
annoyed; she begins sending two fire thingies out. She is beginning to feel 
the damage when she starts sending the flames out faster. 

(After Claudia quickens the pace of the flames, she'll randomly, send out a 
blisteringly fast one that will catch you off guard and Heather will take 
damage. This happened three times on my last game eating up a total of 9 HDs. 
Once Claudia sends out the first set of fast flames, I change tactics.) 

I usually take a hit when she sends out the first set of fast flames, so, 3 
HDs will heal you up to light blue, return and fire off the pistol as you 
strafe to one of the ends. Once Claudia drops I fire off one round after the 
swipe and enter inventory. Reload the pistol, switch to the SMG, load it and 
return to Claudia.
Return to the room and fire off a burst into Claudia. As soon as the flame 
starts up, stop firing, release CAUTION/FIRE and strafe to the opposite side 
of the ring. Use the forward button along with strafe to keep Heather 
properly oriented and moving a tad faster than the flames. Otherwise, she's 
likely to turn into the spikes and slow down enough to take a hit from the 
flame. Once at the other end of the ring, enter inventory, reload the SMG, 
switch back to the pistol, and return to the room firing at Claudia. As soon 
as she drops, follow the previous instruction for the rest of the conflict. 
This will take some considerable time, hopefully less than 8 minutes.
______________________________________________________________________

5. FIN

Begin "Xing out the cut scenes to the results screen and take note of your 
efforts. The extreme 10 game is just that, extremely frustrating for anyone 
expecting to move through the game without damage. Not that I consider myself 
a top line player, but when one is accustomed to playing, staying healthy and 
not having to shoot at things because of clever maneuvering and guile, SH3 
X10/hard will set you straight by taking your ego down a notch. Be aware, 
when you complete X10, you get another shirt for Heather "Gangster Girl". I 
feel complete now that I have it don't you? I prefer to stay with her default 
outfit, so the rest of them are just taking up space in the Items section of 
inventory.
______________________________________________________________________

6. GAME RESULTS

I've saved the stats for extreme action level games 8, 9 and 10 for 
comparisons. Note that level 10 is after the fifth time through. I had way 
too many restarts to end up with the 3 saves; frankly, it took most of the 
fun out of playing. Even though I eliminated Claudia on the first attempt, I 
ended up using half of my meds before confronting her. I had consumed all but 
two ampoules before finishing her off.

Ending type 	Normal		Normal		Normal
Action Level	8			9			10
Riddle Level	Hard			Hard			Hard
Clear Time		1:10:19		1:12:18		1:11:17
Shecky		1:44			1:53			1:54
Manny			:59			1:04			109
Lenny			1:25			2:01			1:57
Goth Girl		1:29			1:51			1:31
Claudia		8:03			7:55			7:56
Clear #		12			13			18
Save & Cont.	7			7			3
Item Number		110			110			113
Kill by Shoot	9			9			9
Kill by Fight	0			0			0
Damage		683			901			920

Note; while researching AI avoidance, kill techniques and writing, I saved 
before each boss, once at the construction site, once at the Hospital and 
once at the steps of Borley Mansion. Running the guide after writing, I 
eliminated all saves but the Construction Site, Hospital and Borley Mansion. 
So far, I can't reliably make it passed the Platypus things in the 
Construction site or at the Hospital and I'm lucky to make it through Borley 
Mansion on the second or third and even forth try.
I suppose, I'll go back and try for an all gold star game on normal mode to 
complete all the things the game lays out for you.
