Once you have left the unsanitary halls ofSilent Hill 2’s Brookhaven Hospital, you’ll be back in the streets of the South Vale district. However, if you thought things were rough on these streets before, then you may be surprised to see how bad they’ve gotten since you last walked them.
This guide is all about helping you work your way through these mean streets while showing you where to find all the healing items, ammo, and everything else worth noting about the South Vale At Night section of Silent Hill 2.
Things start off with a bang in this section of South Vale. Literally. In the area outside the Brookhaven Hospital, you’ll find an exploding Lying Figure to your left. There isHandgun Ammoin the car it slithers out from under. Across from the hospital, there are two Bubble Head Nurses next to a crashed ambulance (you should see the red light from a distance). In the Ambulance you’ll find aHealth Drinkand aSyringe. Finally, there is a mannequin to the right of Brookhaven’s entrance, hiding next to a truck. There isHandgun Ammonear that Mannequin. There is one more nurse as you approach the door to the next area.
The skittering beetle-like Creepers are all over this section of the game. I’m only going to specifically mention them if there is a high concentration of them, as they are everywhere. Be on your guard, andlisten for the skittering sound they make.
Once you enter through the door, there is a mannequin to your left. To your right, you’ll find ammo in the car. There is also a Lying Figure up ahead. Head down the alley left of the door you entered through, and you’ll reach a garage with two mannequins in it. Once you clear them out, grab theShotgun ShellsandHandgun Ammo.
Now, continue to the garage opposite the door you entered into this are from. There isHandgun Ammoin the locker. You’ll also find a nurse, a Mannequin, and multiple Creepers. The room with the nurse has moreHandgun Ammo. In this room there is a breakable section of wall. Enter through it, and in the next room collect theHandgun AmmoandSyringe.
Entering through the hole in the wall will cause a cave in behind you, making it impossible to go back.
In the next area there are two Mannequins hiding and one nurse. There isHandgun Ammoin the alley to the right. Move the bin on the left in front of the gate and hop over. In the next area, there’s a nurse dead ahead: kill her. Now, get the ammo that’s sitting on the truck’s tire. There isHandgun Ammoon the porch to your left. There is another Bubble Head Nurse and a Lying Figure patrolling the area. There’s aHealth Drinkin the car in front of the diner.

The car outside Lakeside Dinner hasHandgun Ammo. There is a health drink on one of the porches, andHandgun Ammoon another, and a syringe on another. Follow Laura through a tunnel. On the other side, you’ll find a camper. There is ammo and a save spot inside this caravan. Across from the camper, in a nook, there isHandgun Ammo. On your right is the pharmacy. There is aHealth Drinkand aSyringeinside. There is also a Bubble Head Nurse and a Mannequin waiting for you inside. Wait for the Nurse to leave on her own accord and fight her in the street.
Continue forward until you hit the fence with a hole in it. Before you hit the fence, you will encounter another Bubble Head Nurse. Once you move through the hole in the fence, you’ll see a Lying Figure in the distance.Watching out, as there will be a Mannequin around the corner waiting to ambush you.
Once you take them out, you’ll findHandgun Ammoon the pallet of wood. Enter into the Happy Burger diner. There will beHandgun Ammonear the entrance. Inside the dining area, there are two Nurses and a Mannequin. Once you clear them out, you’ll findShotgun Shellson a nearby table and moreHandgun Ammoon a seat in the corner.

In the next area, you will need to cross over an area with a mesh floor. Underneath, clinging to the mesh, there is a new monster type that has been teased before: the Mandarin.
These creatures clinging to the bottom of the meshing and attack you from below. You can kill them by attacking their strange, lip-like hands, but they can be hard to put down.You are better off running straight past them.
You will now be in the garden again. There are no items here, nor are there any enemies. Just head for the statue. You’ll talk to Laura and then get the key. Leave the park, and you will find that there isn’t an enemy in sight. You can get a health drink and someHandgun Ammoby looting the area around gas station.
If you missed it the first time around, when you were in this area with Maria, you can also get the carjack and enter into the mechanic’s shop next to the park.
