The 5 endings in Silent Hill f and how to unlock each one
The five endings with their exact condition, which playthrough each one belongs to and which of them is no use for the difficulty trophies.
And it counts towards Fox's Wedding, The Fox Wets Its Tail, The Great Space Invasion!, required for the platinum.
How the endings work
Silent Hill f has 5 endings, and four of them give a trophy: three silvers and the only gold in the game. The first pops on its own when you finish your first playthrough; the other four have to be triggered.
The conditions revolve around three decisions: whether you use red capsules, what you do with the Sacred Sword and whether you offer the Brooch to the Jizo Statue. And since they lock each other out, you cannot get them all in the same run.
The five endings, one by one
Ordered by when it is best to get them.
| Ending | Trophy | Condition | Playthrough |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ending 1 | — (automatic) | Pops on its own when you finish the first playthrough. | 1 |
| Ending 2 | Fox's Wedding · silver | No red capsules. Get or ignore the Sacred Sword and pick up the Agura no Hotei-sama. | NG+ |
| Ending 3 | The Fox Wets Its Tail · silver | No red capsules. Get the Sacred Sword but do NOT purify it. | NG+ |
| Ending 5 · UFO | The Great Space Invasion! · silver | Listen to the radio broadcast and read the movie posters and the review. | Partial |
| Ending 4 | Ebisugaoka in Silence · GOLD | Two full endings beforehand, no red capsules, purify the Sacred Sword and offer the Brooch to the Jizo Statue. | NG+2 |
Ending 5 does not validate the difficulty trophies. Get it on a separate partial run or you will waste a whole playthrough on maximum difficulty.
The number that shows where people quit
Look at the percentages: 65.13% of players finish the story once, but the four endings you have to trigger all fall at once into the 26 to 29% band.
That jump from 65 to 29 is the exact moment people decide whether they are going to replay Silent Hill f three times or leave it there. It is not a question of difficulty: it is patience.
And it is also the best news for anyone who does carry on, because 20.99% have the platinum: of the people who get into the second ending, almost all of them end up platinuming it.
