Introduction

Silent Hill F 100% Achievement Guide
Silent Hill F is a survival horror game with 56 steam achievements.
This guide contains several spoilers. If you haven’t finished the story yet, keep this in mind before reading further.
This guide is a work in progress, If you notice any errors, please let me know.

Runs

Run 0: Story Achievements - Normal ending - (optional: Missable - Collectible)
Play through the game once just to enjoy the story and get a feel of gameplay mechanics.
This will unlock several story achievements and the first ending: Coming Home to Roost.
Notes

• The Bird that Flies Highest missable achievement can only be unlocked during this ending.
• Some documents can only be retrieved on the first playthrough (non NG+) while other are only available in NG+1 and NG+2, if you're aiming to complete **Fires of Jealousy ** and A Miko Possessed without having to redo additional runs, check out the Worship Hall sections.
  Run 1 - NG+ - Missable - Collectible - Good, Bad and UFO endings
  In NG+ select a different puzzle difficulty than your first run to progress toward challenge achievements.
  Note that some missable achievements are tied to combat and may require multiple attempts. While Run 2 features the longest boss fights, your stats will likely be fully upgraded by then, so it could be wise to select a lower action difficulty if you prefer a less challenging run 1.
  Use saves at key points to unlock three of the five endings in the same run: The Fox Wets Its Tail, Fox’s Wedding, and The Great Space Invasion!
  Key save points:
• Just after the **cutscene **near the Chizuruya General Store while heading to Shu's house -> Reach The Great Space Invasion! then load back to continue your run. (see ending notes about missing a bonus weapon)
• While heading to Shimizu Residence, make a save before purifying the Sacred Sword -> Complete The Fox Wets Its Tail, then load back, purify the Sacred Sword and finish the game with the **Fox's Wedding ** ending.
  Note:
• Guidance is provided to unlock several ending within the "same" run. Given how Silent Hill’s saving system tracks which endings you’ve reached, this means that on your final save after Run 2, you may be missing either The Fox Wets Its Tail or Fox’s Wedding and The Great Space Invasion! endings, even if the related achievements are unlocked.
  This may cause some content, like the PP-8001 (unlockable in any NG+ after completing The Great Space Invasion! ending), to be unavailable. If this is a concern, you can restart Run 1 after reaching the UFO ending (which occurs early, before Ebisugaoka Middle School) and skip the collectibles on that first UFO run.
  **Run 2: NG+2 - Missable - Challenges - True Ending **
  In NG+2, select both puzzle and fighting difficulty based on your challenge completion progress, this run will unlock the Ebisugaoka in Silence ending. During this run, you’ll have the chance to unlock certain missable achievements such as Close to the Sun and Omamori Collector.
  **Run 3: NG+ - Wrapping up **
  If missing any achievements (e.g The Bird that Flies Highest that requires Coming Home to Roost which would occurs on first playthrough)
