• Beetle – Greatly increases damage inflicted to stunned enemies.
• Boar – Greatly increases Stamina recovery speed and greatly shortens Out of Breath duration.
• Rabbit – Press Heavy Attack immediately after performing a Perfect Dodge to deal a powerful Counter. This Counter greatly consumes Stamina.
• Serpent – Will automatically perform a Counter when the visual hint appears, but some Max Sanity when it is activated. When equipping, Sanity will also recover at a lower rate.
• Suzuran – Perfect Dodges become easier to perform.

With this combination of Omamoris, you will automatically perform counters, be able to perform Perfect Dodges easier, be able to do a powerful counter after perfect dodging, do more damage to stunned enemies and restore your stamina faster. This will make most encounters significantly easier as you won’t need to focus on countering, and allow for a lot more extra damage in general.

If you die multiple times during an encounter, the game will offer you the chance to lower your action difficulty. DO NOT do this, as you cannot change it back and it will void the trophy.

A lot of the combat encounters in the game can be ignored by simply running past them, there’s only a few occasions where you will be forced to fight.

If you are doing this on NG+2, you will likely be doing this alongside Ending 4, which also has the longest boss fight. There will be checkpoints throughout the fight so you won’t have to redo the whole fight if you die. If you would prefer to not deal with a more difficult boss fight on this difficulty, then you can optionally do it on your second playthrough, or create a manual save before entering Shimizu Residence so you can change onto another ending. Ending 3 will have the easiest boss fight, but if you choose to do it on your second playthrough you won’t have as many upgrades or Omamoris for the rest of the playthrough.

Lost in the Fog puzzle difficulty is available immediately on the first playthrough. All puzzles will have a unique solution for each difficulty, with the exception of puzzles in Shimizu Residence and Treasure Hall, as the puzzles here are dependent on the ending you are doing. Puzzles on Lost in the Fog will often provide obscure hints and have more complex solutions. As the puzzle solutions are the same for all players, you can simply refer to the following guide if you ever get stuck on any:

» Silent Hill f Puzzle Solutions Guide

Location: Ebisugaoka First Visit

After going to the Chizuruya General Store, you will have to flee from the Fog Monster. You will need to escape without being hit for this trophy. This is fairly simple, press  to start running and keep running through the path presented to you. Make sure to press  when you need to climb over or through an obstacle. Avoid getting close to the red tendrils that appear on the floor and walls, as these will hurt you. If you get hurt, you can either quit out and continue or simply die and continue. This will pop when the cutscene starts.

Location: Shrine Path

After returning to the Shrines to try find the code for the door to the Shrine Vault, you will encounter a new enemy type. You will fight it immediately, and it will regenerate after enough time passes while you do the puzzle to find the code. You will need to fight it, complete the puzzle and open the Shrine Vault without getting hit. They will mostly attack with two attacks: an overhead attack that can be parried with  , or a combo attack with nine swings, with the ninth being the overhead that you can parry. For the combo attack, walk backwards from it so you’re out of range, counting the attacks, then move in after the eighth attack so you can parry the overhead. You will know when you can parry their overhead attack as they will flash red.

If you want you can head back to the Hokora after each ema to make a manual save to make this easier. You can also simply avoid it after the first fight, as it is blind and will not attack you unless you make too much noise near it. Alternatively, this can be done on NG+ without even worrying about the enemy simply by inputting the code immediately.

Location: Ebisugaoka Second Visit

The scarecrow puzzle will require you to select the correct scarecrow in five areas. If you do all five areas of this puzzle without choosing the wrong scarecrow, you will get the trophy. If you ever make the wrong decision, simply quit out and continue, as it will checkpoint at the beginning of each area.

» Silent Hill f Puzzle Solutions Guide

Location: Ebisugaoka Second Visit

During the second visit to Ebisugaoka, you can find a Key to Sakuko’s Mailbox in front of Sennensugi Shrine, all the way north from the fields. With the Key to Sakuko’s Mailbox, backtrack all the way to the beginning of this area, at the General Store. Now head northwest and take the alley to Sakuko’s house. Use the key to open the mailbox.

Location: Corridors

You will fight Sakuko at the end of the Corridors area. Twice during this fight, they will stun you and teleport away, then start charging up an attack where they will ring their suzu bell if you don’t stop them in time. When this happens, you need to quickly run up to them and stab them once to stop the attack. Both times they start this phase, they will do the charge attack three times, meaning you will need to quickly stop the attack six times in total. If you beat the boss without letting it hit you with any of these suzu bell attacks, you will get the trophy.

Location: Ebisugaoka Third Visit

When you arrive at Chizuruya General Store with Shu and Rinko, there will be a Giant Monster as well as some regular enemies that you would normally ignore and go the other way to your objective. For this trophy however, you will want to defeat the Giant Monster. Lure out and kill the smaller enemies first, then focus on the Giant Monster. This will be the same as the previous encounter with it, so killing it shouldn’t be too difficult.

Location: Worship Hall

In Worship Hall, there will be two sections you can go into. For this, you will want to go into the eastern section. This section will introduce blue lanterns as a mechanic, which will stop enemies from reanimating if they are killed within the light of a blue lantern. For this trophy, you will need to kill eight of the enemies in this area within blue lantern light. Enemies will glow with blue light when they are within range of a blue lantern. Some enemies will need to be lured into a room with a blue lantern. Keep an eye out for enemies during this section, if needed their locations are all listed below. These locations are for Story difficulty, on higher difficulties there will be more enemies:

1. Inside the starting room with the Hokora Shrine.
2. In the locker room near the red/green lever.
3. In a nook in the second room with the red/green lever.
4. In the adjoining room with the red door, must let it out by pulling the lever, then pull the lever again to open the locker room and lure it into there.
5. In the green door corridor past the white door, lure it back into the room with the blue/white lever.
6. Next to the red door at the back of these corridors, lure it into the room with the red/green lever.
7. After entering the rabbit hutch, this enemy will appear in the room.
8. After pulling the red/green lever near the rabbit hutch, a blind enemy will walk through the red door.
9. In the second Hokora Shrine room after pulling the blue/white lever.

Location: Ebisugaoka Fourth Visit

After going to the Mountain Hut where you get the gate key, you will drop down a ledge and subsequently be chased by the Fog Monster like in the beginning of the game. You will need to run through a few areas without getting hit. This time, there will be a couple of enemies along your path, so make sure to dodge their attacks. Be careful of the red tendrils on the ground as stepping on these can hurt you. If you picked up the Horse Omamori from earlier in this area, it is worth equipping as this will make it so stamina last longer when sprinting.

Once you reach the gate, you will have a brief respite where you can grab a few items, but then another chase will begin. This is more of the same, but near the end will be two Screamer enemies blocking your path. Let them scream and don’t advance until they stop, otherwise you will get hurt. If at any point you get hit, quit out to the main menu and continue to be placed right before these sections. Dying works the same as quitting out, so if you do get caught and instantly die, you can simply continue and it won’t count against you. The trophy will pop when you finish the second chase sequence, where the Hokora Shrine is.

Location: Main Hall

You will fight Rinko at the end of the Main Hall area. During this fight, the boss will occasionally spawn puppets that slowly walk towards you. If they get caught in a fire attack, they will catch alight and rush at you, exploding. For this trophy, you will need to complete the fight without taking damage from any of these puppets. The best way to deal with them is to immediately attack them when they spawn while they’re still slow. They will die in 1-2 swipes, and you can then also Soul Siphon them with  to charge your ability. If you see the boss charging a fire attack, stay away from any puppets to avoid them becoming explosive. If they do get hit by fire, stop attacking and let your stamina recharge, then dodge when they rush at you.

Location: Ebisugaoka Fourth Visit or Fifth Visit

In the area after being chased by the Fog Monster for the second time, there will be some stairs leading up to a shrine and some more stairs leading to this tree. You will need to come here on New Game+ to obtain the Sacred Sword anyway, so you will get this while going for endings.

Location: Shimizu Residence

You will fight Hinako’s parents at the end of Shimizu Residence. For this, you will need to defeat the giant boss with the blade first. Simply ignore the smaller boss and focus only on the big boss.

Location: Treasure Hall

For this trophy, you must find all three crests without making a mistake. There are rooms with multiple doors to choose from with only one being the correct one, so when in these rooms you must go through the correct doors. The correct door can be found by locating the Fox Statue with an arrowhead stuck in it. Remove the arrowhead and the Fox Statue will look at the correct door. Some Fox Statues will need to be revealed by holding near blood puddles. The correct doors will be the same on every playthrough, regardless of difficulty, and you can go through them without interacting with the Fox Statues if you know the correct door. You will likely get this naturally across the playthroughs.

Location: Ebisugaoka Sixth Visit

As soon as you start this area, you’ll be chasing the Fog Monster. You will need to catch up to it 3 times for this trophy. You don’t actually have to rush for this, as it will only appear in your vision when you reach a certain point on the path. Once you see the Fog Monster, ignore the enemies and run up to it quickly. When you get close to it, it will teleport forward and block off the area, forcing you to the fight the enemies to continue. If you let the Fog Monster walk into the fog too far it won’t do the teleport, which means you missed it.

Location: Dark Shrine, Ending 1

This boss fight will only be during Ending 1. You will need to defeat it without dying once for this trophy. It is recommended that you equip the Blessed Hand Mirror Omamori if you have one, as it will fully restore your Health, Stamina and Sanity if you take a fatal blow. This is a long fight, so you will likely want a fair few healing items for this, but this shouldn’t be an issue if playing on Story difficulty as the game is very abundant with First Aid Kits and Bandages. For the most part this is quite manageable by wailing on the boss whenever you can. The only thing to really be cautious of is when the boss covers the ground in red flowers that chip away at your health. This will last about 10 seconds, after which an explosion will occur dealing heavy damage to you, so try to heal up while your health is chipping down to avoid getting instantly killed by the explosion. If you ever die during the fight, quit out to the main menu and continue that way, rather than clicking continue on the death screen.

Location: Dark Shrine, Ending 3 (New Game+)

This boss fight will only be during Ending 2. Three times throughout this fight, the boss will weaken and start spawning enemies. Make sure to kill all the enemies during these phases before you attack the boss. If you kill all of the enemies before finishing the boss, you will get this trophy.

Location: Dark Shrine, Ending 2 (New Game+)

This boss fight will only be during Ending 2. This boss will use multiple weapons, and will eventually teleport far away and shoot golden arrows at you. For this trophy, you must get through this arrow phase without being hit by any arrows. It will have a few attacks here, but only three that fire arrows. For the first attack, it can fire 3 arrows into the air that fly towards you, dodge when these get close and be prepared to dodge 3 times. For the second attack, it can fire a volley of quick arrows directly at you. These will move quickly so you need to react with multiple dodges to avoid getting hit. For the third attack, it will shoot a rain of arrows directly up that will litter the entire area around you, just dodge constantly through this. In order to end this phase, you need to reach the boss, so keep running forward and dodging attacks as they come in. The other attacks that create waves can also be dodged, but if you get hit by these it doesn’t matter.

It is highly recommended that you do this fight with the Suzuran and Boar Omamoris. The former will make Perfect Dodges easier, which will fully restore your stamina, while the latter will make stamina regenerate faster. These will ensure you don’t run out of stamina mid attack. Alternatively you can use the Shrew Mole Omamori if you feel comfortable going into this phase on low health, as this will make it so dodges do not deplete stamina. If you are playing on Hard or Lost in the Fog action difficulty, you can lower it down to Story after dying a few times to make it easier to get to this phase faster, but this would mean you wouldn’t get the trophy for finishing the game on Hard/Lost in the Fog action difficulty.

Location: Dark Shrine, Ending 4 (New Game+2)

While on Ending 4, you will have a double boss fight at the end, against both Kyubi and Tsukumogami. Against Kyubi you will have fight with the Fox Arm, while against Tsukumogami you will have your regular weapons, including the Sacred Sword. Each boss will have three phases, with you alternating between the bosses after every phase. In order to get this trophy, you must defeat both bosses in under 10 minutes. Fortunately, there will be a checkpoint after after every two phases (so after doing one phase for each boss), and dying and continuing does not add to the time. This means you can die as much as you want, so you can take time to learn the bosses in each phase before completing the phases quickly.

It is highly recommended that you prepare for this double boss fight by bringing multiple Sanity-restoring items such as Ramune, Divine Water or Inari Sushi, as these can quickly fill up your Bestial Form charge, which will make the Kyubi phases significantly easier and faster. For Omamoris, it is recommended that you use Rabbit, Boar, Serpent, Suzuran and Beetle. With this combination, you will automatically counter when possible,  deal more damage against stunned enemies, be able to perform Perfect Dodges easier, and be able to counter by pressing  after a Perfect Dodge (which is especially useful for Tsukumogami). Even on Lost in the Fog action difficulty, this is quite manageable to get in under 10 minutes, but if you find you are unable to do it fast enough, you can lower the difficulty to Story after dying multiple times.

Location: Ebisugaoka Fourth Visit

For this, you will need to reach Shu’s house without ever using any Red Capsules. You can pick them up, but make sure to never use them. To make sure you don’t accidentally use them, it is recommended that you discard them by opening your inventory and pressing on them. Once you reach Shu’s house, enter his workshop and DON’T pick up any of the Red Capsules in here. Grab the letter on the desk and you will unlock this during a cutscene. This will be a requirement for Endings 2, 3 and 4, so you will need to do this multiple times.

This will be done during Endings 2, 3 and 4.

• Key Item: On the ground next to Shu’s Workshop, behind his house.

This will be done during Endings 2 and 4.

When arriving at Main Hall on New Game+, you will be able to open an Inari-sama door upstairs near the second ritual area. Behind the door will be an outside area with a temple up some stairs.

Down by the water is a stone you can read with the Crimson Water puzzle on it. You need to ring 3 of the 5 bells in the area in a specific order. You will have to ring the bells one at a time, once every time the water fountain in the middle of the water tips and makes the loud clacking sound. Each bell will have a lantern on them with a symbol, which indicates the order to ring them.

• Bell 1: Volcano, up near the temple entrance
• Bell 2: Water, on the small island next to the puzzle stone
• Bell 3: Tree, on the stone bridge on the right path

Doing so will turn water crimson. Now once you go to the Inari-sama Shrine during Ebisugaoka Fifth Visit, there will be a water bath full of crimson water. Place the Sacred Sword in the water to purify it.

Omamoris can be purchased from Hokora Shrines by first enshrining offerings to gain Faith, then drawing Omamori.

There are a total of 23 Omamori to draw, costing a total of 20,200 Faith. If you simply want to get the trophy, you can save up enough Faith to buy all remaining Hokora to get the trophy, then reload in order to spend that Faith on stat upgrades instead.
