I think James discovered some "bring the dead back to life" thing the Order left behind and dug up Mary's grave.That's just my theory of what he meant.
@AnakhaSilver That's just a theory that exploded throughout fans online and is now such a popular belief that people mistaken it for a fact. There is no real evidence, at all, that Mary is in the car.
Hey Everybody! I have just released my new electronic album “Sub-Zero” which is heavily influenced by the world of Silent Hill and the music of Akira Yamaoka. If you're interested you can listen to the full album on my youtube channel, as well as download the album for free!
I hated this ending. I was hoping it would actually show her come back to life, and then she would kill him back or something. Not just him rowing to an island.
@INeverWanted2010 That's the point of Silent Hill. None of the endings just hold your hand and tell you everything, just like the entire game itself. It's up to the player to decide what happens to James, Mary, Maria, Angela, and Laura in the game's endings. Maybe the ritual worked, maybe it didn't. If she came back, maybe she was normal with no catches, or maybe she was in the form of a monster. Who knows? You decide, the game isn't about to hold your hand like a sheep.
...Apparently, James has never read the stories of H.P. Lovecraft...or else he would have known about the very hefty price he's about to pay for bargaining with the Old Ones...
I'm sticking to the "In Water" ending because though yes, I would want to bring someone I love back to life if they died, Death is Death. Everyone dies eventually. If your loved one dies before you, you shouldn't bring them back if they were ready to die. I'm not saying that means they WANT to die, but if they're prepared for death... Don't bring back. Instead, live for them. Do what you think they would have wanted for you, and be happy. The past is the past and it can't be changed.
@T3hEm0J0k3r Just because she didn't want to didn't mean she wasn't prepared to. If you don't want to do something, does that mean you're not ready to?
While we can't bring them back, for some reason we always try. Some of us can't accept the fact that life came full circle so we foolishly try to make them come back. Have I done it? No, touching a drippy rotting corpse doesn't work for me, but you get the point. As for "In Water" being the canon, most of the games point to this ending since in 4 James' dad said that James went with his girlfriend (Maria) to Silent Hill. This would mean that this would be the second time.
Briniging someone you love back to life is creepy? How? Tell me something, if you lost a loved one, wouldn't you want them back in your life? This page seems like it is filled with kids, who don't understand the concept of lonliness, love, and sacrifice.
What a beautiful ending. It shows that James attatchment to his wife, goes beyond obsession, and anything wordly. And this is the canon ending, because if anyone has played SH4, they would know what I am talking about.
@ozzyblazer16 I have always assumed the best ending to be the canon ending, as the bet endings in SH games are always the canon ones. I haven't heard about it myself, so I can't be sure about it.
I have seen FMA, but that is your opinion. Maybe you don't feel that strongly about death.
I think everyone who don't understand James is so stupid.I very love this game and I think James doesn't mad he just felt the hopeless.I think this game have the best story ever in the games story.It's true it's short but very nice.Konami and James All respect to them.
@ozzyblazer16 It doesn't matter. They had to pick one ending to put in the book and they picked In Water. There's too much evidence in later games of Rebirth having happened so I'm standing by it.
despite the silent hill serires being the most unbearable of puzzle games, its story's are just dam right incredible i luv luv luv luv em....cept homecoming...that should be destroyed
In water is the best...the game is centered around the fact that James can't let go of Mary at all...he doesn't believe she is truly dead until he sees the proof that he killed her...I think he went to Silent Hill because he had a death wish...the cannon ending is In Water.
I know that love makes you do crazy things, but this... this ending here is just creepy. James couldn't accept his wife's death and attempts to bring her back from the dead. Too bad that they don't show the actual performance of James trying to bring Mary back to life.
@backpain100 Rebirth he is bringing Mary back to life with the cult magic and Leave is the best because Mary forgives him and he moves on with his life.
(well not to mention the fact he lost his wife again, ummm maria died, and he's trapped inside a town named silent hill, im pretty sure he still has the kid, and well ya sucks for james!)
Oh so that's what the items are for... Wow i always thought that James was a bit crazy doing everything hi did but wow O_o... Thanks for explaining. :D
@Warlady21 actually the movie spelled cemetery wrong because it was made by kids and it was an Indian burial site so just watch the movie and youll get it
Pyramid head is James' subconcious. He needs Pyramid head for physical punishment. Later on he feels satisfied with his punishment and takes on two Pyramid heads(One's helmet is red for new blood, the other brown for old blood) Once the two realize he's not going to succumb to them, they impale themselves with their spears. The other Dudes(The butcher in SH3, the boogeyman in SH home coming) They are just there because you can't have a SH game without them
9sicmaggot9 i thought the butcher was in origins? the guy in silent hill 3 was called valtiel. he sports the same gear as PH minus the helmet and great knife. his role is different too. hes like the attendant of god, and he has something to do with the shifts between the real world and the otherworld.
II think the leave ending could be the cannon one because Mary perdonned James and that could had made James continue with his life and leave on but I think there`s more chances that the in water ending where James kills himself could have been the real one because after all in Silent hill 4 It is stated that James dissapeared after he went to Silnt Hill.
It's most likely the in water ending is the cannon one. In Silent Hill 3, Douglas said that he was looking for a missing man at Silent Hill. I'm pretty sure that was James, and he disapered because he killed himself
sure. he drowned and no one found his body. that still makes sense. so it could be either the "Leave" ending, the "In Water" ending, or the "Maria" ending.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
perhaps james becomes a pyramid head, i know its a stretch but if you watch james use the great knife its alot like the way pyramid head weilds it..... just saying
so the giant sword is him *ahem* overcompensating? but y is it called the rebirth ending then? in homecoming the main character was turned into a pyramid head, y not james?
In this ending James is trying to bring back his dead wife from the dead. I think that the great knife is just intimidating but if you see it as over compensating then that's what you think. As for Homecoming, Even though it looks EXACTLY like pyramid head and all that jazz its not. It looks like PH because he's a fan favorite. In Homecoming he's called the 'boogeyman'. Homecoming is also not written by the same people who wrote SH2. James didn't become PH because he IS PH in a sense.
In the game he realized that PH is just a physical representation of his Guilt towards killing his wife Mary. When he realizes he doesn't need PH anymore because he's come to terms with what he did, PH kills himself (or rather themselves you fight two of them at the end of SH2. after the fight they impale themselves on their spears and give you the final object you need to beat the game.)
because the pyramid head in homecoming isnt pyramid head. hes the boogeyman. this is different in the sense that the boogeyman is a representation of everyone in sheperds glen.
On one hand, "Leave" Could be the real ending; he's come to terms with what happened and is ready to live his life.
On the other hand, he could still be heartbroken over her death, and the events that happened in Silent Hill could have been real and not just something that only he was experiencing.
It's very confusing, but it has been hinted at that this ending is the correct one.
to get that ending you have to collect severeal ritualistic items like a goblet and a book of eternity or summat, so assumsedly he's going to try and resurrect her at that church
Why not both? XD But, no really it is not sure what real ending there is to this game. Because he was never mentioned again, I think, in any other game of his whereabouts. So yeah you can say he is on good shit or has a sever head trauma, one that he will never return, but he found out the truth he repressed and his true nature of his is finally revealed to him.
Okay, this could probably be the real ending as it does tie up to Silent Hill 1, 3 and 4 when he talked about the "old gods" Valtiel, Metatron and Samael...
He's probably been fucking her corpse forever, that's why he never came back in SH4. XD
This won't literally be him reviving Mary, as Mary is dead (assumably in the trunk of his car at the beginning). Most of SH2 is projections of James' mind, and this ending is him living with the memory of Mary and not fully accepting he killed her and that she's gone forever. He will most probably wander the foggy silent hill until he comes to terms with this.
1 You need white crism located in the kitchen in blue creek apartment counter room where the (puzzle game is) coins i think,
2 Book of lost memories outside of texon gas (after meeting Maria),
3 Obsidian goblet located in historical society. The glass box before you are going down the long stairway down.
4 Crimson Ceremony, is located in the Reading Room after watching the tape Hope you find them P.S you are gonna need all the 4 items when you defeat the boss Maria/ Mary? ;D
Usually when people refer to "The Old Gods" they are speaking of the old Greek and Roman pagan Gods that were replaced by Christianity. But in this case, I'm not sure if he is refering to those Gods, or some other mythology specific to the story of Silent Hill. There are many spiritual undertones (and sometimes overtones) to Silent Hill.
Well, no, actually, the "demonic things" in Silent Hill are created by the human characters. The Gods don't do anything,and probably don't actually exist.
They are the stuff you gather in SH1. The ritual of 21 sacraments does not bringback the dead. It purifies them or something. And satan has nothing to do with this mythos.
by satanic i mean a big surprise, but it isn't very good but bad....and quite disturbing. i used satan [metaphor] because it carries more weight to my comment[i think] because i can't think of any more words to disturb the results of the ritual. question. if it doesn't bring back the dead, what does it REALLY do? i got BAD feeling on this one.... one more Q. you say it purifies the dead. which way? does it make them good, or badder like transform into sth gory? pls reply
I just don't get why some guys think Maria's ending is the best. For me, this is the one. Isn't bringing the woman he loved most back to life wonderful?
I guess cause she didn't die, and he's no longer lonely. But this ending never says that it was successful in bringing her back, or even happy at all. Which could lead us to believe that he went crazy. As people are saying.

to get that ending you have to collect severeal ritualistic items like a goblet and a book of eternity or summat, so assumsedly he's going to try and resurrect her at that church

Why not both? XD But, no really it is not sure what real ending there is to this game. Because he was never mentioned again, I think, in any other game of his whereabouts. So yeah you can say he is on good shit or has a sever head trauma, one that he will never return, but he found out the truth he repressed and his true nature of his is finally revealed to him.

Yaknow what would be awesome? an Evil Dead IV with Bruce Campbell for all the Bruce Campbell fans out there.

Actually, I think they already came out with that in video game form. "Evil Dead: Regeneration" I believe. (Can't believe I didn't buy it yet! 80)
Actually, there ARE rumors of an up-an-coming sequel!

Okay, this could probably be the real ending as it does tie up to Silent Hill 1, 3 and 4 when he talked about the "old gods" Valtiel, Metatron and Samael...
He's probably been fucking her corpse forever, that's why he never came back in SH4. XD

Actually it only stated that they disappeared, never returned. I don't that it ever said they found two bodies in the water.

itachi111222 2 years ago
This won't literally be him reviving Mary, as Mary is dead (assumably in the trunk of his car at the beginning). Most of SH2 is projections of James' mind, and this ending is him living with the memory of Mary and not fully accepting he killed her and that she's gone forever. He will most probably wander the foggy silent hill until he comes to terms with this.

ColonelVenom88 3 years ago
Usually when people refer to "The Old Gods" they are speaking of the old Greek and Roman pagan Gods that were replaced by Christianity. But in this case, I'm not sure if he is refering to those Gods, or some other mythology specific to the story of Silent Hill. There are many spiritual undertones (and sometimes overtones) to Silent Hill.

Well, no, actually, the "demonic things" in Silent Hill are created by the human characters. The Gods don't do anything,and probably don't actually exist.

which will not really bring you what you want... you might get what you want, but there,s always a satanic surprise as proven by walter
REVIVALIST 2 years ago
They are the stuff you gather in SH1. The ritual of 21 sacraments does not bringback the dead. It purifies them or something. And satan has nothing to do with this mythos.
lollipopfop 2 years ago 4
by satanic i mean a big surprise, but it isn't very good but bad....and quite disturbing. i used satan [metaphor] because it carries more weight to my comment[i think] because i can't think of any more words to disturb the results of the ritual. question. if it doesn't bring back the dead, what does it REALLY do? i got BAD feeling on this one.... one more Q. you say it purifies the dead. which way? does it make them good, or badder like transform into sth gory? pls reply

I just don't get why some guys think Maria's ending is the best. For me, this is the one. Isn't bringing the woman he loved most back to life wonderful?
himsonli 3 years ago 3
Woah, Maria's is the best?
I guess cause she didn't die, and he's no longer lonely. But this ending never says that it was successful in bringing her back, or even happy at all. Which could lead us to believe that he went crazy. As people are saying.
