)Introduction
Welcome to the SILENT HILL 2 PS5 Remake (2024) Trophy Guide! A remake of a PS2 classic, Silent Hill 2 Remake offers new endings, new collectibles and modernized gameplay. In order to get Platinum, you will need to collect all three types of Collectibles (Memos, Photos, Glimpses), unlock the 6 original Endings, and complete the game under various conditions (within 10 hours, not using radio, not using guns). Fortunately, the endings get saved to your overall ‘profile save’ rather than specific ‘manual save’ slots, because of this you can get multiple endings in one playthrough by reloading manual saves. This makes it possible to get all trophies in only 2 playthroughs. A New Game+ playthrough is needed to trigger some of the endings. Unlike the PS3 version there is no 10-star requirement so the Platinum is much easier and faster overall.
Step 1: 100% Collectible Playthrough & Regular Endings
On the first playthrough go for all collectibles and combat/miscellaneous trophies. Collecting all Memos can only be done in a New Game (NOT in New Game+). This is because the Memo “Lost & Found Note” at Lakeview Hotel doesn’t spawn in New Game+. Follow Silent Hill 2 Remake Collectible Guide to get everything.
There are no difficulty-related trophies, so feel free to play on ‘Light’ (Easy) Combat/Puzzle difficulty. Using Accessibility Settings is fine too.
For 
Radio Silence you must beat the game without using the radio. The radio is unlocked automatically during a cutscene when fighting the first enemy. Open the inventory and turn off the radio immediately. If you miss it during this playthrough you can still do it in New Game+.
On the first playthrough you can only get the three regular endings – “Leave”, “In Water”, “Maria” – by doing certain actions throughout the playthrough to influence the ending. Fortunately you can manipulate these towards the end of the game, and with a prepared manual save at the final save location (before the second last boss), you can reload after completing the game to get the other endings.
It is best to work towards the Maria Ending while playing, as this can’t easily be manipulated at the end of the game while the other two can. The important steps for working towards the Maria Ending are:
- When in Brookhaven Hospital and the Labyrinth, check in on Maria regularly as you progress
- Do not let Maria take too much damage when she is with you
- Do not inspect Photo of Mary, Mary’s Letter or Angela’s Knife in your inventory
- Do not listen to the full conversation in the long hallway before the final boss fight
Following these steps, you should get Maria Ending upon completing the game. Afterwards you can reload your manual save for Leave and In Water.
For Leave Ending, you should:
- Inspect the Photo of Mary and Mary’s Letter in your inventory multiple times
- Listen to the full conversation in the long hallway before the final boss fight
For In Water Ending, you should:
- Inspect Angela’s Knife in your inventory multiple times
- During the second last boss fight, stay on low health and keep this until the final boss
- Listen to the full conversation in the long hallway before the final boss fight
If you don’t get any of these endings doing this, don’t worry too much as you can try for them again during your New Game+ playthrough. Even if you only did one Ending on the first playthrough you can still get the other five in New Game+.
Step 2: New Game+ with no Radio/Guns & NG+ Endings
Once you complete the game for the first time, you will have the option to start again in New Game+. While this isn’t NG+ in the traditional sense as it doesn’t carry any items over, it does contain exclusive items that can only be found on New Game+. These are required for the various NG+ Endings: Rebirth, Dog, UFO (and the two new Remake endings, but these aren’t required for trophies). During this playthrough you will want to collect these items and complete several steps required for the endings, as well as work towards the trophies for completing the game in under 10 hours, without using the radio and without getting kills with guns. You will be able to use the Chainsaw in NG+ which will make the no gun trophy very easy. Make sure to turn off the radio in your inventory as soon as you get it in the room with the first enemy encounter if you haven’t done so during the first playthrough.
Once at Lakeview Hotel, you can make a manual save before entering Room 312 and before collecting the last item for Rebirth Ending. This will allow you to get the UFO and Dog Ending quickly, then get Rebirth Ending by collecting the last item. If you missed any of the three regular endings on the first playthrough, you can ignore the last Rebirth Ending item and continue to get these endings.
See Endings Guide & New Game+ Collectibles.
Step 3 (Optional): Clean Up
If you missed anything during the previous playthroughs, you may need an extra playthrough for clean up.

 |
Merciless Finish off 50 enemies with a stomp attack. |
|
Sometimes when attacking an enemy on the ground with  , James will stomp on them rather than swinging his Wooden Plank/Steel Pipe. It’s a bit random what he does, but as long as you try to finish enemies off while on the ground, you should get enough stomp attack kills. This cannot be done with the Chainsaw equipped, so if you need these on New Game+, make sure to unequip the Chainsaw. The best enemies to do this on are the little bugs, as they all die in one hit and James tends to stomp these roughly one third of the time.
These kills track across all playthroughs, so you do not need to do them in a single run. |
||
 |
No Big Deal Kill 75 enemies with ranged weapons. |

||
 |
Blunt Force Trauma Kill 75 enemies with melee weapons. |
|

These kills track across all playthroughs, so you do not need to do them in a single run. |
||
 |
You Never Know… Try to open locked doors 50 times. |

This trophy should come naturally during your playthrough so don’t even worry about it. You can already unlock it in the first area of the game “South Vale East Side”. There are lots of shops and other buildings with locked doors.
This tracks across all playthroughs, so you do not need to do it in a single run. |
||
 |
Shattered Destroy 50 windows. |

There are more than enough windows in the game, you can already find over 50 windows in the first area of the game “South Vale East Side”.
