Hey Rumin, I used your guide a long while ago to attempt a 10 star run, but did very poorly! I attempted and messed it up 3 times, and i took a long long break from silent hill. Recently i heard about how silent hill 4 is turning 20 on the 17th and i decided that i'd finally 100% the game to show my love for it, which included me doing the 10 star run that i dreaded so much. I booted it up yesterday to do a practice run and i actually did it first try! And today i finished it on one weapon mode and got another 10 star run!! I'm very proud because i've never been the guy to do game challenges, and i couldn't have done it without you. Thank you so much for your engaging and interesting videos, it wouldn't have been nearly as fun without them.
dude i never fell in love with fiction character (Really no joke) but after i played this SH4 and i saw Eileen Galvin (especially what she wears during rescuing her) I never thought i would Love this Eileen
Thank you friend..your guide helped me 💯and I was able to finish it with the final escape...I thought I would have the bad one since Eileen received damage but I used the pickaxe with Walter and I managed
I used this as reference to GOG version but got Eileen's Death :( curious thing about the ending was "blue" too, I guess i did anyway!! tnx a lot for the video
Muito boa sua estrategia ! Irei tentar essa sua, mas como você disse depois eu não vou esquecer a picareta pra dar hit kill no Walter mais rápido no Hard ! Valeu parabens!
Hey Rumin, out of curiosity, does quitting out then "Continuing" alter your ranking in the game? Would love your input! You're a god at this game, bro!
It does alter your rank. 3 continues will make you lose your 10 star rank. You can't use any continues at all for a 10.2 star rank, continuing once will get you a 10.1 star rank, and 2 continues will get you 10.0 stars.
@@RuminInLove thank you so much for your insanely fast reply, I will go through my training arc soon! Thanks for helping me save Eileen and thanks for giving this underrated gem some love! 🤟
Sorry, i missed the part on how to make Eileen less possesed?? I heard to put a candle beneath her before taking the umbilical cord, its that true? Thanks
Great video! It helped me a lot, greetings from Brazil. Just one question: I was thinking, do I need to have finished the "normal" 10 star speed run (other than One Weapon/All Weapon) and then do these other modes, or is it worth having it done in the file? For example, I get 10 stars in this normal, if by chance I play again in the same file and I don't get 10 stars again, will I still have access to One Weapon/All Weapon or will I only have 10 stars in the previous run?
Yes, and that's a huge step-up in this game. In the previous games you'd need to deliberately save over a different file or else your results and rewards would be degraded, but in SH4 you permanently keep One-Weapon and All-Weapon modes once they're unlocked.
@@RuminInLove wow you really respond very quickly, thank you very much! I've been following your walkthroughs since SH1, the only SH so far that I haven't played in order of release is the Visual Novel released for the GBA because I didn't like the style of play. For me, the most difficult 10 star rank so far was 1 due to the 1 and a half hour target time.
I wonder if sh4 has a screen telling you that u have unlocked xxx for the first time? Like “You have unlocked infinite rocket launcher” in Resident Evil Remake
Did you realize that parallel means "does not intersect"? If two lines or line segments are intersecting, they cannot be parallel. Two sets of parallel lines can intersect but if you only have 2 intersecting lines, that cannot be parallel. If you want to call X something different, I suggest intersecting perpendicular lines...or maybe 4 right angles having a party? Intersecting parallel lines would be the square. Incidentally the square could also be 4 right angles having a party too.
Just found your channel and have really loved all of the Silent Hill content. I'm not sure if it's a song from any of the SH soundtracks or not, but what's the song that plays in the beginning of the video, during the text portion? If you know, I'd really appreciate it!
Rumin, I was wondering, is there a full list of all peephole interactions (both front door and for Eilieen's room?) I'm trying to witness them all but it almost seems randomised. Furthermore, do you have any tips for getting the Walter portrait to appear? I also haven't had him call me on the phone either.
The phone and portrait hauntings are super rare. You just have to keep going through the hole until you get them. You can only have 3 hauntings at a time, so you need to clear them or wait for them to go away for others to spawn. Also make sure you are not playing the PC version, as that version is borked and missing a lot of hauntings. There is a video on RUclips with every haunting, it's called "Silent Hill 4 The Room - Complete Hauntings Guide [1080p HD]".
QUICK QUESTION! I have SH4 on PC from GOG, 100%’d the game, am playing again on All Weapons Mode, finally gave Eileen the sub machine gun, got to Building World and noticed Eileen hasn’t become possessed from shooting the Sub Machine Gun tons, in fact there’re no signs of her have taken any damage?! Is this a feature on All Weapons Mode that Eileen can’t because possessed?! I’ll continue the game and see if that changes but I find it really interesting because I’ve never heard about this
Idk what the deal is with that then, but I can confirm that Eileen does, in fact, take damage on All Weapons mode. So if she's straight up invincible, then it's probably a glitch.
Thanks to you I recovered 10.2 ranking with all weapon mode last night. I got it in 1:35 hours. Pc version. Eileen death. Now I am gonna delete the game, I think achieved all . Something interesting When we play I'm one weapon mode, colour of save file will be purple, when playing in all weapon mode it will be mild blue. Ganing 10.2 start, will colour the ending you got in harsh blue Am I right rumin?
Pardon if this has been answered elsewhere, but does bumping into Eileen contribute to her possession in any way? If so, does it inflict less damage than say, an enemy attack would do?
Pog, then I don't have to worry about accidentally doing it haha. Finished this game last night and am amidst learning more about it and your videos are a godsend, learning so much from em. Keep it up!
i have one question if i beat hard regularly like a normal playthrough can i still get the submachine gun for Eileen or do i have to beat it under two hours to get it.
Anything above 9 stars will unlock the submachine gun. Just don't save too much, kill over 120 enemies, play on hard, and try to get all the memos and you should easily get over 9 stars even if you take over 2 hours.
Hey rumin what about monsters that Henry step on, or thin monsters that will be killed when Henry just contact to them, I know it makes Henry damage his health, but will be it count as killed in the game statics?
Experiment. You may have better luck with the spade or pickaxe of despair. The guns are alright on him, but you'll need to switch to a melee weapon to kill him eventually. You could start with Richard's revolver if you think that'll make the start easier. Personally, I think melee is always better since guns will take up space for health drinks and melee is always faster anyway.
I remember a while back someone did Big Boss runs of the MGS games where they edited cutscenes in with the BB rank gameplay. Has anyone done anything like that for Silent Hill? Typically they would just be average walkthroughs.
I thought about doing "all cutscenes" 10 star runs of Silent Hill 1 through 3, but unfortunately Silent Hill 4 would be basically impossible to 10 Star with cutscenes due to cutscenes adding to in-game time.
You almost get killed in exactly 1:00:00 !! Also, after of doing this, you play again to see if you maybe get the channeling stone? because you know, blue escape name = blue item (channeling stone) for UFO ending, i think there is in the "unused items" when someone look in the archives of the game
I have a feeling the blue ending name was originally intended for the channeling stone, but due to time restraints it wasn't put in the game. The blue escape name is literally all you get for doing this lol.
Google "PCSX2 widescreen hacks" and you should find a big list of PS2 games along with their corresponding widescreen hack. Find the game you want and download the patch, there are some good tutorials on RUclips for it. To make Silent Hill 4 look exactly how it does in the video, go into the game brightness setting and turn brightness to 3 and contrast to 7. I never really liked the default settings lol.
I'm fairly certain that if you get less than 10.2 on a subsequent playthrough, your save won't have the blue text anymore. So it's best to not save over your file with blue text.
PC version sucks. No analog control, washed out colors, missing hauntings, messed up monster AI. Some of these issues can be fixed with tinkering and modding, but the PS2 version is ultimately the best and most pure version, and has none of the issues of the Xbox or PC versions.
@@RuminInLove jesus. I get it now. Thanks for informing. I played the game 3 times fully looking at all haumting but never saw blood water hailunting, Henry face out of peephole or doll haunting. Or shadow boy haunting. And yes. I have some problems with control, unlike previous silent hill games. Here it's hard to control Henry and running. And something else. I was so unhappy by graphic. When Henry woke up in his room, I see the fan that attach to seil rotate with low texture. U thought that was a problem with my pc because I saw videos in RUclips that graphic is high. But now u told me the pc version sucks. Thanks.

Idk what the deal is with that then, but I can confirm that Eileen does, in fact, take damage on All Weapons mode. So if she's straight up invincible, then it's probably a glitch.

That hit box is bullshit how did that victim ghost get you
I'm going to try this in All-weapons mode. The benefit of essentially limitless health and ammo should be enough of an advantage.
Pardon if this has been answered elsewhere, but does bumping into Eileen contribute to her possession in any way? If so, does it inflict less damage than say, an enemy attack would do?
Bumping into Eileen doesn't effect her in any way (same thing applies if Walter bumps into her).

Thanks for this question and reply, always wondered that
Quick question. Unlike the previous 3, can I go for the 10.2 stars in new game? Do I need all endings unlocked before attempting this?
You can do this on your first playthrough, no NG+ or unlockables needed :)
i have one question if i beat hard regularly like a normal playthrough can i still get the submachine gun for Eileen or do i have to beat it under two hours to get it.
Anything above 9 stars will unlock the submachine gun. Just don't save too much, kill over 120 enemies, play on hard, and try to get all the memos and you should easily get over 9 stars even if you take over 2 hours.

Doesnt get the wine bottle, pff what a noob. Everyone knows that Henry drinks nonstop wine thats why the man has no damn personality.
27 axe beat to last boss( Walter)
It would be nice if you did similar style guide for SH2 :)
I did.
Do you think a no damage run is possible? Have you done that or attempted one for sh4?
It's probably possible. I don't feel like doing that though.
God. I can't beat Walter in the end. Is there another better way with Richard gun or something else?
Experiment. You may have better luck with the spade or pickaxe of despair. The guns are alright on him, but you'll need to switch to a melee weapon to kill him eventually.

Is there non-commentary version?
Not of this specific 10 star, but here's a different one I did with no commentary: ruclips.net/video/dcrV-RWO-Zo/видео.htmlsi=1iW3C16H--ElNbEy

@@RuminInLove ah, alright then.
Are you sure looking at the map doesn’t count in-game time? I read somewhere that pausing the game does count.
The map doesn't count towards time in this game. It does in SH1, 2, 3, and I think the PS2 version of Origins, but not in SH4.
You almost get killed in exactly 1:00:00 !! Also, after of doing this, you play again to see if you maybe get the channeling stone? because you know, blue escape name = blue item (channeling stone) for UFO ending, i think there is in the "unused items" when someone look in the archives of the game

Center area of forest should be safe for Eileen
There are no safe areas for Eileen in this game. Center of forest is arguably one of the worst enemy-free places in the game to leave her.
Just wondering are you on the pc version? If so do you have a widescreen fix?

@@RuminInLove Ah thanks man! And your video helped me a lot on sh4 i really appreciate the tips n tricks here
Can you get blue text for all endings or can only one ending be highlighted in blue at a time?
Only one ending at a time. So if you get blue text for Escape then get blue for Mother on the next playthrough, only Mother will be in blue.
@@RuminInLove Oh, thanks. Appreciate the quick reply. Keep up the good work
One more question. Will the ending just stay highlighted on that save file until you eventually get 10.2 stars on another ending?
I'm fairly certain that if you get less than 10.2 on a subsequent playthrough, your save won't have the blue text anymore. So it's best to not save over your file with blue text.
