While Bloober Team’sSilent Hill 2remake is, in a lot of ways, a pretty faithful rendition of the original Silent Hill 2, it also adds a couple of new novel elements. One of them is the Strange Photos, which act as a collectible of sorts.

Initially, you’ll probably think that these are tethered to some elaborate new puzzle. Especially since they have cryptic numbers written on their backs. But as far as we can tell, that isn’t the case. While they are a pain to find, they are genuinelyjusta collectible. Youdoget a trophy for your trouble, at least. This guide will make hunting them all down far less painful.

Silent Hill 2. All Strange Photographs. The back of photo 16.

Where To Find Every Strange Photo

One of the awkward elements of the Strange Photos is that, despite being numbered, the order you find them in is all out of sorts.Most areas have two photos.This is roughly the order you will encounter them in:

verify you don’t leave an area without finding the Strange Photos first.Many of these areas become inaccessible once you leave them.

If you are struggling to locate a specific photo, we have the location of all the Strange Photos listed in the table below. It isn’t a bad idea to cross-reference the section above, which lists where you will find each photo, and verify you have every photo you are supposed to find in that area before you move on to the next one.
