Released in August 2003, Silent Hill 3 features a female protagonist named Heather. Unlike many female characters, the emphasis isn't on Heather's body. One day while at the mall, Heather is approached by a detective, Douglas Cartland. Heather manages to escape from Cartland, but finds herself in a macabre, decrepit landscape in which she finds a forgotten secret.

 

Best time on easy: Single-segment 0:45:49 by Adam 'Zhegan' Steidl on 2006-03-17.

Author's comments:

Before I go on to details about the run, I just want to say that I HATE the camera, as it is usually the reason for my mistakes (it got me killed in a previous attempt). Other than the camera I had a problem with a weird targeting glitch while I was playing (but I'll get to that later). I didn't bother to pick up guns or ammo since the katana easily gets the job done. Here are some details on certain parts in the run:

Amusement Park (Tutorial) - Unfortunately I have to go through the entire thing (in normal you can throw yourself into the hole in the floor and skip it, but in easy you can't). I accidentally examined a sign beside a door, but that's the only mistake here.

Mall - Although the beginning goes well, the targeting glitch wastes a few seconds off my time. For some reason the X button now targets the closest enemy (which also is the button to open doors...) so when I get outside the room with the coat hanger, Heather starts to spas for a couple seconds when one of the zebra-dogs runs outside the door. I show what the glitch does in the hallway after I pick up the walnut. The glitch doesn't give me any problems after this.

Splitworm - I killed him about as fast as I could, nothing else to note.

Subway - Goes pretty good, there were times where I mistaken rooms for different rooms, otherwise I did fine.

Office building - Got hit once or twice, but that's about it.

Missionary - My worst boss fight, I missed more times then I'd liked.

Hospital - I take a little time to make sure I hit the door buttons correctly (the fast cursor and small buttons make this part a pain).

Leonard - I got lucky in that he didn't run away like he usually does, so my kill time was pretty good.

Amusement Park (Part 1) - Not much to note, thankfully the roller coaster key dropped right away, which saved a lot of time.

Borley Haunted Mansion - I hate this part, as much as I've tried, I can't skip this, I got bored and sliced "Danny'' in the crotch. I lost grip of the joystick while running away from the red light of doom, so for a second I went in the other direction, but thankfully I didn't die like last time.

Amusement Park (Part 2) - Only thing to mention is I have a camera problem when I pick up the skull, so she does a few circles while trying to exit.

Alessa - Alessa managed to run off a couple times, but my time for this battle is still good.

Chapel - I get hit again, but it's hard to avoid. When the fat guy (don't remember what he's called) hits me, I land behind him so it doesn't hurt my time at all. I go into the room next to the fat guy to avoid getting stuck in between two enemies in the hallway.

God - This fight goes well too. It's one of my favorite battles because she can't run away.

I plan on improving my time eventually, if anyone wants to give me suggestions my e-mail is Zhegan2005@yahoo.com.
