The Trophy guide below is written in a way that you will collect and earn everything in chronological order. Just about every Trophy on this list is missable. Some of them take place across multiple chapters. Some even take place across multiple playthrough. This is why the guide below was written in the way that it is.
Silent Hill f has three difficulties for action and for puzzles. The difficulties for action stack. The difficulties for puzzles do not stack. That means you would need to play through the game three times. One on each difficulty. You’ll need at least three playthroughs in order to unlock all of the endings, anyway.
You can find items called “offerings” that can be exchanged for “faith.” Faith is then used to buy upgrades for Hinako as well as Omamori. Omamori are basically buffs you can apply to Hinako. You’re going to want to collect most of these during your first two playthroughs in order to make the final playthrough easier. Omamori can be found in the environment as well as bought from shrines.
Anything you need to know, when you need to know it will be called out in the guide below.
Playthrough #1 – Action Difficulty: Story / Puzzle Difficulty: Story
For your first playthrough, you’re really just getting to know the game and get used to the combat. There are miscellaneous Trophies to be earned, upgrades to be unlocked as well as Omamori to be collected. Collect all of the offerings in order to maximize your upgrades/Omamori. You won’t be able to fully upgrade Hinako on this playthrough or buy all of the Omamori, but you need to get as many as you can. Those are all listed in chronological order in the guide.
In terms of endings, you can only get ending #1 on this playthrough. So there’s no need to worry about other endings this time through.
Playthrough #2 – NG+ Action Difficulty: Story / Puzzle Difficulty: Hard
For playthrough #2, we’re going to be focusing on getting endings #2, #3 and #5. You can play through the game up until a certain point where you can then make a separate manual save. This will make it so that you can finish the game, unlock ending #2 and then reload that save to finish the game with ending #3. You’ll have to play some of the game again, but it won’t be very much. It’s certainly shorter than dedicating an entire playthrough to it. The point at which you should make that save is noted in the guide. In addition to those endings, we can also get a puzzle completed for these endings that is also needed for ending #4. It will remain completed during playthrough #3 for ending #4.
As for ending #5, this is the UFO ending that Silent Hill players will already be familiar with. It does not count as a full ending. It can be unlocked fairly early on during playthrough #2. Before doing the UFO ending, you will need to make a separate manual save so that you can do it, and then load it in order to continue on with the playthrough without having to start over.
You’ll want to continue buying upgrades and collecting Omamori during this run of the game. The action difficulty remains at “Story” so that you can get through this step a little faster. Puzzle difficulty will need to be set to “Hard,” however.
Speaking of the Omamori, you can spend upgrades on buying extra Omamori slots. You can have up to 4 by the end of this playthrough. You need to have all four of these unlocked by the end here. These are unlocked at the same shrines you upgrade Hinako at. If you have collected every Upgrade Ema across the first two playthroughs, there will only be 1 left in the game that you will collect during playthrough #3. You have a choice at the end here. If you save an Upgrade Ema in your inventory when you beat this playthrough, it will carry over to your NG+ playthrough for ending #4. Doing so will allow you to buy a fifth Omamori slot. It is recommended to do this, but the choice is yours. You can find that final Upgrade Ema and do it then, but that final Upgrade Ema is found later on in the game. The next playthrough will be on the hardest difficulty. So having that fifth Omamori slot unlocked earlier on will make that run easier.
The last thing to know about this playthrough is that you cannot use any Red Capsules. Discard them out of your inventory when you are given them as part of the story and do not pick anymore up during your run. This is required for endings #2, #3 and #4.
Playthrough #3 – NG+ Action Difficulty: Lost in the Fog / Puzzle Difficulty: Lost in the Fog
For the third and final playthrough, you should be fully upgraded and have most of the Omamori. You will also be familiar with the game and know what to expect from the combat. You’ll need to turn both the action and puzzle difficulty up to “Lost in the Fog.” Beating the game on this difficulty will unlock both Trophies for action difficulties “Hard” and “Lost in the Fog.” Those will stack.
You’ll take more damage on this difficulty and the enemies will have more health. Fortunately, there are Omamori you can equip to make things more manageable. Serpent will make it so that you auto counter enemies. Countering an enemy will also stun it, so you can equip the Beetle Omamori to increase damage on stunned enemies. The Swallow Omamori will also increase damage after a counter is performed without using focus. So you can actually stack some damage here. The Serpent Omamori will use Sanity, so you’re going to need to make sure to have Sanity restoring items. The other Omamori you can use is the Suzuran. This will make perfect dodges easier to perform. A perfect dodge actually refills your stamina, so that can be very crucial during combat.
Outside of all that, make sure to finish fully upgrading Hinako as well as collecting all Omamori.
Also, you cannot use any Red Capsules. Discard them out of your inventory when you are given them as part of the story and do not pick anymore up during your run.
Ending #1 – Action: Story / Puzzle: Story
While playing through this first run, you’re going to want to collect as many offerings as you can. You can sell these and any healing items at Hokora shrines for Faith. Faith is then used to buy upgrades for Hinako. You can also buy Omamori from the shrines with Faith. You will need to buy all Omamori and upgrades for Trophies. Buying these will not be listed in the guide below. Buy these whenever you want or are able to. You wont have enough Faith to buy everything in a single playthrough. We’re going to be playing through three times here, so there will be enough to buy everything by the third playthrough. Just remember to stay on top of buying these.

If you timed it right, it should be stunned. Get another heavy attack in on it and then back up to regain stamina. Dodge or counter its attacks and attack it until it fades away. It won’t stay dead for the whole section, but you can get away after this first fight. This enemy is blind, so it won’t know where you are after it comes back. It’ll walk around the area looking for you. If you can stay away from it, you can actually avoid having to fight it again. So, if you can just survive that initial fight with no damage, you can finish the rest without having to fight again. There is a Hokora on the west side that you can save at in order to make this easier if needed. You can actually save after picking up a puzzle piece and reload if you end up taking damage.

Ebisugaoki (6)
As soon as the chapter starts, you’ll be in the chase. Run by the enemies here and keep going until you see the fog monster walking away. Run toward it. When you get close to it, it’ll teleport further away. When that happens, just keep running. You’ll come to areas with the enemies that spawn other enemies. You have to kill those in order to unblock the path. As soon as the path is clear, keep running. You’ll need to catch up to it three times. As long as you skip the smaller enemies and keep running, you should have no issue doing this.
Also, there are a few collectibles to be picked up during the chase here. As long as you’re fast with these, you should still be okay.
Offering – Dried Carcass
After you have to fight the first monster blocking the path during the chase, there will be a Hokora shrine. Keep following the path for just a few steps. When the enemy jumps at you from the right, go to the side of the house to find this in a crate.
Upgrade Ema #11
After fighting the second enemy blocking your path, continue forward and go right at the blue truck on the path. This will be at the end of the path on a barrel.
Offering – Antique Comb
Shortly after the previous Ema, this can be found on the left side in a box next to the notice board.
There are no collectibles in the in the area you are transported to.
Offering – Dried Carcass
Once you’re back in Ebisugaoki, continue on the path. Go down the alley on the right just after the notice board. This is found on some bricks at the end of the alley.

Before continuing, make a save. If you die during the next boss fight, you will miss the The Bird that Flies Highest Trophy. If you die, you can quit out and load that save to try again.
During the final boss fight, you cannot die. If you die, you can quit out and load your save to try again. If you die, do not select “Continue” from the game over screen. If you have a Blessed Hand Mirror, you can equip this. It will prevent a death one time if you have it equipped. It will break after being used.
Make sure to heal before your health gets too low. The boss’ attacks can deal a lot of damage. When the floor is covered in red, make sure to heal so that your health is full. The boss will do an explosive attack that will do a lot of damage.
Ending #1 – Coming Home to Roost
This is the only ending you can get on this playthrough. Make a New Game + save file.
New Game + Endings #2, #3 and #5 ->
New Game + Endings #2 and #3 – Action: Story / Hard: Puzzle Difficulty
On this playthrough, set the difficulty to hard for puzzles. There is a Trophy for beating the game on hard for action, but the action difficulties stack. So, our third play through will be on Lost in the Fog difficulty. Beating that one will unlock both the hard and Lost in the Fog action Trophies. So, that means you can set the action difficulty to Story for NG+.
We’ll be knocking out endings 2, 3 and 5 here. We’ll be setting up endings 2 and 3 together until we reach a certain point in the story. At that point, you can make a separate manual save, do an ending, reload that save and then do the other ending. That will require a bit of a partial playthrough though. You can do either ending in whichever order you want. For the sake of continuity, this guide will be going 2 first and then 3.
You still want to continue upgrading Hinako as well as buying Omamori from Hokora shrines. Omamoris collected in playthrough #1 can be either healing items or offerings during this playthrough. Those won’t be listed here as they are the same locations as the first playthrough. You can refer back to that portion of the guide if needed.
One last major thing to note here, do not use any Red Pills during this playthrough. If you have them in your inventory, discard them. Don’t even pick them up. That way, you won’t use one accidentally. Picking them up inside of Shu’s Workshop will also fail the Winners Don’t Do Drugs Trophy. So, just avoid them altogether.
You also have the choice of saving one last Upgrade Ema for your 4th ending playthrough. If you need to fully upgrade Hinako, make a save, purchase the final upgrade to pop the Trophy and then reload the save to get the ema back. You can buy a fifth Omamori slot during the 4th ending playthrough by following this guide. If you don’t want to save the last Ema, you’ll get one during the ending #4 playthrough, but it won’t be until later in the game. So, if you want to have the fifth Omamori slot for most of the playthrough, save 1 Ema.

Performing a perfect dodge will fully restore your stamina as well. This is important because you’re going to have to perform several dodges in order to avoid all of the arrows. The boss has three different attacks with the arrows, but they are random as to which ones it’ll use.

You will get an Upgrade Ema during playthrough #4, but it won’t be until later on in the game. It is more helpful to have that 5th Omamori slot earlier in that playthrough, but the choice is yours.
You should also try to finish unlocking the Omamori from the Hokora shrines. There is one that will make the playthrough for ending #4 easier. It’s the Serpent Omamori.

Before taking on the final boss fight, make a separate manual save. If you are unable to beat the bosses in under the 10 minute time limit for the Trophy below, you can beat them however long it takes, finish the game and get ending #4. Then, you can reload that separate manual save, die against the boss a few times and then the game will give you the option to bump the difficulty down. With that, you can then try again on a lower difficulty.
The final boss fight will be against 2 different bosses. During the fight, you’ll alternate between the 2 Hinakos as each of them will be fighting a boss. In order to earn this Trophy, you’re going to have to beat both of the bosses in under 10 minutes.
Each of the bosses will have 3 phases. After doing 1 phase for each of them, you’ll get a checkpoint. Fortunately, dying and continuing from that checkpoint will not add to the timer. So that makes this a very generous 10 minutes.
Ending #4 – Ebisugaoka in Silence
After beating the two bosses, you will reach ending #4. If you were unable to beat the 2 final bosses in under 10 min, reload the manual save and try again on a lower difficulty.
