Silent Hill 2 is also home to some unique endings, we all know where we were in life when we found the Dog ending in Silent Hill 2. A psychological horror tag runs deep in Silent Hill, as they can subvert the expectation of the player in an instant. One of the other endings that caught the attention of many people back in the day is the UFO ending to Silent Hill. In the Remake, the intergalactic species are also getting modern love. Here is a guide to unlock the secret UFO ending to Silent Hill 2 Remake.
How To Unlock Secret UFO Ending In Silent Hill 2 Remake
You will need to obtain Blue Gem and use it in four different places to activate the UFO ending.
The four places to interact with the Blue Gem are:
- Saul Street Apartments
- Rosewater Park
- Lakeview Hotel
- Room 312 in Lakeview Hotel
You will have to manually pull out the gem out of your inventory to examine it.
The concept here is wild, compared to the other endings in the game, where you have to pull the picture of Mary or interact with Maria as much as possible to trigger an alternative ending based on your experience. The UFO ending certainly feels extraordinary in many ways, Here are the steps you need to follow to activate the UFO ending in the Remake.
Note: You can only activate the UFO ending in New Game Plus, you have to finish the game once to trigger the different ending.
Location Of The Blue Gem
Luckily, the Gem spawns right at the beginning of the game (New Game Plus). After you finish the game, time to hit yourself with the rake of distress again by taking the same road to Silent Hill.
- Here get to Neely Street, pass the crossroad, and head to the area outside Big Jay’s right across Lucky Jade Restaurant. After a bit of a walk to the north. Look for a shop with Jewellers written on it. You will find the spot a bit north of Big Jay’s, there will be a cop car in the front giving away the location.
- Just walk up to the store, relieve the robber fantasy, break the glass open, and steal the Blue Gem.
That’s it, we have the item that we need to trigger the UFO ending. Now we need to interact with the Blue Gem in three different locations in Silent Hill.
Location #1 Saul Street Apartments
We will find the interaction location on the rooftops, the rooftop section is part of the main storyline, so you can interact with it during the main campaign or if you have missed it, you can always come back to do it later.
- Climb the ladder on the right after you enter the Saul Street Apartments. The ladder is located on the east side of the Saul Street Apartment.
- After you are at the rooftops, go to the vents on the left. you will find an Eye Graffiti on the side of the air vent.
- Now go to your inventory, and pull out the Blue Gem we picked up earlier, unlike other times, since we are in the proper location, the Blue Gem will start to glow and make a noise.
That’s it, we are done with the first one, now on to the second location.
Location #2 Rosewater Park
This location is also a part of the story mission, where we meet Maria for the first time. Here head to the pavilion near Rosewater Park to trigger the cutscene with Maria.
Once the cutscene is over, get near the telescope, open your inventory, and pull out the Blue Gem from those deep pockets of James. Just like the last time, the Gem will glow once again.
That’s it, now we move on to the third location for the UFO ending in Silent Hill 2.
Location #3 Lakeview Hotel
Once you get to Lakeview Hotel, right near the end of the game. Here we will find the third spot for the Blue Gem examination. When you get off the boat and regain control of James, go to the inventory, and examine the Blue Gem.
It will glow once again and with the third location out of the picture, there is only one last thing to do to trigger the UFO ending.
Location #4 Room 312 In Lakeview Hotel
The last location for Blue Gem interaction leads to the Special Room 312 in Lakeview Hotel. Stand near the TV in the room, instead of interacting with the VHS tape, go to your inventory, and examine the Blue Gem for the one last time.
Note: Don’t interact with the VHS tape inside Room 312 before the Blue Gem examination.
The UFO cutscene will soon trigger. It’s highly recommended that you make a save at Room 312. Most of the endings in Silent Hill 2 are tied to that room.
