Tips: This and the following story achievements unlock in a straightforward chain during your first playthrough, so simply play through the main narrative to earn them.

The Fox’s Guidance

Unlock Rate: 75.5% (Common)

Requirement: [Not listed on Steam – story progression milestone]

Requirement: [Not listed on Steam – story progression milestone]

How to Unlock: Reach the corresponding purification story beat during the main campaign.

Tips: Unlocks automatically; just keep progressing through the story.

On the Way to School…

Unlock Rate: 58.1% (Common)

Requirement: [Not listed on Steam – story progression milestone]

How to Unlock: Reach the point in the story where Hinako and her friends head toward Ebisugaoka Middle School.

Tips: Story-driven achievement, unlocks on its own as you continue.

Shell of the Past

Unlock Rate: 55.3% (Common)

Requirement: [Not listed on Steam – story progression milestone]

How to Unlock: Continue through the corresponding story sequence tied to Hinako’s memories.

Tips: No special action required, this is a pure story marker.

The Farewell Party

Unlock Rate: 51.2% (Common)

Requirement: [Not listed on Steam – story progression milestone]

How to Unlock: Reach the story beat referencing a farewell scene partway through the campaign.

Tips: Unlocks naturally through story progress.

A Dangerous Path

Unlock Rate: 49.9% (Uncommon)

Requirement: [Not listed on Steam – story progression milestone]

How to Unlock: Progress into the more hazardous middle-game story areas.

Tips: No detour needed, this follows automatically from continuing the main story.

Plucked Wings

Requirement: [Not listed on Steam – story progression milestone]

How to Unlock: Reach the corresponding mid-story cutscene.

Tips: Story marker, unlocks on its own.

Parting on Good Terms

Unlock Rate: 46.0% (Uncommon)

Requirement: [Not listed on Steam – story progression milestone]

How to Unlock: Progress through the story sequence involving a difficult parting.

Tips: Unlocks automatically as part of the main narrative.

Solar & Lunar Eclipse

Unlock Rate: 44.9% (Uncommon)

Requirement: [Not listed on Steam – story progression milestone]

How to Unlock: Reach the story point where two portals or dual worlds are referenced.

Tips: This is tied to a key story transition and unlocks without any special action.

The Path of Self-Preservation

Unlock Rate: 44.6% (Uncommon)

Requirement: [Not listed on Steam – story choice or progression milestone]

How to Unlock: Continue through the story sequence associated with this narrative branch.

Tips: Unlocks through normal progression on your first playthrough.

The Path of Exultation

Unlock Rate: 44.5% (Uncommon)

Requirement: [Not listed on Steam – story choice or progression milestone]

How to Unlock: Continue through the story sequence associated with this narrative branch.

Tips: Like The Path of Self-Preservation, this unlocks through normal story progress rather than a specific action.

Endings

Coming Home to Roost

Unlock Rate: 44.2% (Uncommon)

Requirement: [Not listed on Steam – reach the Normal Ending]

How to Unlock: Complete your first playthrough of the game. This is the only ending available on a first playthrough, and it unlocks automatically once you finish the story. During this playthrough, defeat the final boss, Shiromuku, without dying to also catch the missable The Bird that Flies Highest achievement.

Tips: Make a manual save before the final Shiromuku fight. If you die, reload your manual save rather than using the in-game Continue option, since Continue can void the no-death achievement.

The Fox Wets Its Tail

Unlock Rate: 12.0% (Very Rare)

Requirement: [Not listed on Steam – reach the Good Ending on New Game+]

How to Unlock: On New Game+, avoid using any Red Capsules for the entire run, obtain the Sacred Sword but do not purify it, and follow through to this ending’s final boss sequence.

Tips: Make a manual save before this ending triggers if you’re planning to also reach The Great Space Invasion! or Fox’s Wedding on the same New Game+ run, since you can reload to catch multiple endings in one playthrough.

Fox’s Wedding

Unlock Rate: 11.3% (Very Rare)

Requirement: [Not listed on Steam – reach the Bad Ending on New Game+]

How to Unlock: On New Game+, avoid Red Capsules throughout, obtain and purify the Sacred Sword, collect the Agura no Hotei-sama, and complete the story through this ending’s path.

Tips: This is a good ending to finish your New Game+ run on, since doing so makes obtaining a certain bonus item in your next playthrough easier.

Ebisugaoka in Silence

Unlock Rate: 9.0% (Very Rare)

Requirement: [Not listed on Steam – reach the True Ending on New Game+2]

How to Unlock: This ending is only available on New Game+2, and your save must already have at least two full endings completed on it (The Great Space Invasion! does not count). Avoid Red Capsules for the entire run, purify the Sacred Sword, and offer the Brooch to the ancient Jizo Statue.

Tips: Save right before offering the Brooch to the Jizo Statue, since this is the final and most restrictive ending condition in the game.

The Great Space Invasion!

Unlock Rate: 9.8% (Very Rare)

Requirement: [Not listed on Steam – reach the UFO Ending]

How to Unlock: Available on New Game+. Listen to the UFO Radio Broadcast hidden behind a wall gap during an early fog chase sequence, then read all three “The Great Space Invasion” movie posters in their correct sequential order across the map.

Tips: This ending is non-canonical and doesn’t count toward the two-endings requirement for Ebisugaoka in Silence. Trigger it early on a New Game+ run, then reload your save from just before it to continue toward other endings in the same playthrough.

Difficulty Challenges

Thankful to Be Here

Unlock Rate: 42.2% (Uncommon)

Requirement: Complete the game with action difficulty set to “Story” or higher.

How to Unlock: Finish any full playthrough with action difficulty set to Story or above.

Tips: This unlocks on your very first playthrough regardless of which difficulty you pick, since Story is the lowest available setting.

Grateful for a Worthy Foe

Unlock Rate: 15.1% (Very Rare)

Requirement: Complete the game with action difficulty set to “Hard” or higher.

How to Unlock: Finish a full playthrough with action difficulty set to Hard or Lost in the Fog.

Tips: Action difficulty achievements stack, so completing the game on Lost in the Fog also unlocks this and Thankful to Be Here at the same time.

Clear Skies

Unlock Rate: 5.5% (Very Rare)

Requirement: Complete the game with action difficulty set to “Lost in the Fog”.

How to Unlock: Finish a full playthrough with action difficulty set to the hardest setting, Lost in the Fog.

Tips: Lost in the Fog action difficulty isn’t available on a fresh New Game, so save this for New Game+ or later once you’ve built up stat upgrades and Omamori. If you die repeatedly and accept a prompt to lower the difficulty, it voids this achievement for that run.

Intellectual Pursuits

Unlock Rate: 16.3% (Rare)

Requirement: Complete the game with puzzle difficulty set to “Story”.

How to Unlock: Finish a full playthrough with puzzle difficulty set to Story.

Tips: Unlike action difficulty, puzzle difficulty achievements do not stack, so you need a separate playthrough (or New Game+ run) at each puzzle difficulty level to unlock all three.

Wise Researcher

Unlock Rate: 33.2% (Uncommon)

Requirement: Complete the game with puzzle difficulty set to “Hard”.

How to Unlock: Finish a full playthrough with puzzle difficulty set to Hard.

Tips: Plan one of your New Game+ runs specifically around this puzzle difficulty setting, since it won’t carry over or stack with your Story or Lost in the Fog runs.

Puzzle Master

Unlock Rate: 11.3% (Very Rare)

Requirement: Complete the game with puzzle difficulty set to “Lost in the Fog”.

How to Unlock: Finish a full playthrough with puzzle difficulty set to Lost in the Fog, the hardest puzzle setting.

Tips: Since puzzle difficulty doesn’t stack, dedicate one full run entirely to this setting rather than assuming a Hard run will count toward it too.

No-Hit & Missable Combat

Acupuncture Specialist

Unlock Rate: 14.1% (Very Rare)

Requirement: [Not listed on Steam – complete a specific puzzle without error]

How to Unlock: Arrive at the Nishida residence without making a single mistake on the scarecrow puzzle. The correct answer is always the female scarecrow; the others give hints through their clothing and colors.

Tips: If you’re unsure, reload the checkpoint after picking wrong rather than continuing, since a single mistake voids this achievement for that attempt.

A Federal Offense

Unlock Rate: 30.3% (Uncommon)

Requirement: [Not listed on Steam – open a specific mailbox]

How to Unlock: During your second visit to Ebisugaoka, find the key to Sakuko’s mailbox near Sennensugi Shrine, then backtrack to the alley near the General Store leading to the Igarashi residence and open the mailbox.

Tips: This can be done before Acupuncture Specialist in the same visit, so knock both out together if you’re following a checklist.

The Sound of Silence

Unlock Rate: 26.9% (Rare)

Requirement: [Not listed on Steam – interrupt a boss attack repeatedly]

How to Unlock: During the boss fight with Sakuko, she periodically teleports and charges a suzu bell attack. Use the sound cue to locate her and hit her to interrupt the cast, successfully doing this across all six attempts in both her phases.

Tips: Listen for the bell sound rather than watching for a visual cue, since she can teleport off-screen before charging.

Go Away! You’ll Ruin the Shop’s Reputation!

Unlock Rate: 13.6% (Very Rare)

Requirement: [Not listed on Steam – defeat an optional enemy]

How to Unlock: During your third visit to Ebisugaoka, instead of ignoring the Giant Monster in front of the Chizuruya General Store, engage and defeat it.

Tips: This enemy is normally avoidable, so make sure to actively seek it out and fight it rather than running past as the game’s flow otherwise encourages.

No One Left Behind

Unlock Rate: 28.8% (Rare)

Requirement: [Not listed on Steam – stop enemies from reanimating]

How to Unlock: Inside the Worship Hall, behind the white rabbit crest door, kill a set number of enemies while they’re within the light of the blue lanterns to prevent them from reanimating.

Tips: Lure enemies into the blue lantern light before finishing them off. If the achievement doesn’t trigger, check for a hidden Kashimashi (a humanoid doll enemy) you may have missed.

Agile Escape

Unlock Rate: 13.9% (Very Rare)

Requirement: [Not listed on Steam – escape a chase sequence without damage]

How to Unlock: During the second Fog Monster chase sequence in Sugisato, escape to the end without taking any damage.

Tips: There are a couple of enemies along this chase’s path compared to the first one, so stay ready to dodge mid-run rather than just sprinting straight through.

Like a Fleeing Hare

Unlock Rate: 37.9% (Uncommon)

Requirement: [Not listed on Steam – escape another chase sequence without damage]

How to Unlock: Escape from the Fog Monster chase at Ebisugaoka without getting hit.

Tips: Follow the single available path and avoid the red foliage entirely. If you take any damage, quit to the main menu and reload your last checkpoint rather than continuing.

Untouchable

Unlock Rate: 17.6% (Rare)

Requirement: [Not listed on Steam – solve a puzzle without taking damage]

How to Unlock: Open the Shrine Vault at the Shrine Path in the spirit world area without taking any damage while solving its door code.

Tips: This triggers the first time you reach the spirit world’s shrine area, so be cautious with enemy positioning while working out the vault code.

Echoes of Jealousy

Unlock Rate: 12.3% (Very Rare)

Requirement: [Not listed on Steam – defeat a boss without being hit by summons]

How to Unlock: During the boss fight with Rinko, she spawns puppets throughout the fight. Defeat her without ever being hit by one of these puppets.

Tips: Kill each puppet the moment it spawns rather than ignoring it to focus on Rinko, since letting them linger increases your risk of getting hit.

O Divine Tree

Unlock Rate: 45.0% (Uncommon)

Requirement: [Not listed on Steam – discover a specific landmark]

How to Unlock: Discover the Thousand Year Cedar, the tree where the Sacred Sword is later obtained. You’ll naturally visit this location while pursuing the Good or Bad endings on New Game+.

Tips: This unlocks just from finding the location, so it happens naturally as part of your Sacred Sword quest on New Game+.

Just Shut Up for Once, Dad!

Unlock Rate: 19.3% (Rare)

Requirement: [Not listed on Steam – defeat a specific boss before another]

How to Unlock: In the Shimizu Residence boss fight against Hinako’s parents, defeat her father, the larger boss with the blade, before defeating her mother.

Tips: Focus all your damage on the father and ignore the smaller boss, since beating the mother first fails this achievement and just enrages the father further.

Sly Like the Fox

Unlock Rate: 11.2% (Very Rare)

Requirement: [Not listed on Steam – solve a statue puzzle without error]

How to Unlock: During the Inari statue puzzle in the Treasure Hall, choose the correct door every time without making a mistake. Find the fox statue holding a knife; removing the knife makes it look toward the correct door.

Tips: Check the fox statue’s gaze carefully before committing to a door, since a single wrong choice voids this achievement.

Where Are You Going?

Unlock Rate: 22.5% (Rare)

Requirement: [Not listed on Steam – trigger a chase event multiple times]

How to Unlock: During your sixth visit to Ebisugaoka, while chasing the Fog Monster, get close enough to it on three separate occasions to trigger its teleport before it simply wanders off into the fog.

Tips: Move quickly and directly toward the Fog Monster each time it appears rather than exploring, since it will disappear on its own if you’re too slow.

The Bird that Flies Highest

Unlock Rate: 19.6% (Rare)

Requirement: [Not listed on Steam – defeat a boss without dying, tied to the Normal Ending]

How to Unlock: This can only be earned during the final boss of the Coming Home to Roost (Normal) ending. Defeat the Shiromuku without dying during the fight.

Tips: Make a manual save before this fight. If you die, reload the manual save from the main menu rather than using in-game Continue, since Continue can invalidate this achievement.

Fox Tamer

Unlock Rate: 11.4% (Very Rare)

Requirement: [Not listed on Steam – defeat waves of summons quickly during a boss fight]

How to Unlock: During the Fox’s Wedding ending’s final boss, the Shichibi (which starts as a fight against the Shiromuku), quickly defeat all three waves of summoned monsters before the boss’s next attack fully charges.

Tips: Prioritize burst damage on the summoned monsters over the main boss during each wave, since letting a wave linger too long fails the timing window.

Puppetmaster

Unlock Rate: 5.1% (Very Rare)

Requirement: [Not listed on Steam – defeat a boss without being hit by projectiles]

How to Unlock: Defeat the Tsukumogami boss without getting hit by a single arrow. When it fires a rain of arrows across the arena, dodge repeatedly through each barrage, expecting roughly three dodges per volley.

Tips: Equip an Omamori that improves dodge timing or windows if available, since this fight demands consistent dodging across the entire encounter.

God Slayer

Unlock Rate: 8.1% (Very Rare)

Requirement: [Not listed on Steam – defeat two bosses quickly, tied to the True Ending]

How to Unlock: On the path to the Ebisugaoka in Silence (True) ending, in New Game+2, defeat both the Tsukumogami and the Kyubi in the Dark Shrine within 10 minutes of the fight starting.

Tips: Equip Omamori that improve dodging and stun damage beforehand, since this double boss fight rewards fast, efficient offense over cautious play.

Winners Don’t Do Drugs

Unlock Rate: 15.5% (Rare)

Requirement: [Not listed on Steam – avoid an item during a specific visit]

How to Unlock: During your fourth visit to Ebisugaoka, reach Shu’s residence without picking up any Red Capsules along the way, then enter the Workshop and pick up the letter on the desk while leaving the capsules there untouched.

Tips: You can still use other healing items during this stretch, just avoid picking up Red Capsules specifically, since several are visibly placed in the Workshop as a temptation.

Key Items & Endings Prep

The Malevolent Blade Never Rusts

Unlock Rate: 14.8% (Very Rare)

Requirement: [Not listed on Steam – obtain a key item tied to multiple endings]

How to Unlock: On New Game+, bring 5 specific offerings to Jizo Statues in Ebisugaoka across your visits (a Faded Bride Doll, Rusted Flask, Broken Geta Sandals, Cracked Hibachi Brazier, and Dad’s Old Kitchen Knife). Once all five are offered, retrieve the Sacred Sword from the Thousand Year Cedar.

Tips: Each offering corresponds to a specific visit in the story, so keep track of which one you’re due to deliver as you progress through New Game+ rather than trying to collect them all at once.

Treasured Belonging

Unlock Rate: 13.4% (Very Rare)

Requirement: [Not listed on Steam – obtain a specific vial]

How to Unlock: On New Game+, after reaching the Main Hall, open the Inari-sama door upstairs near the second ritual area and pick up the Agura no Hotei-sama vial from the altar near the outdoor temple.

Tips: This is tied to pursuing the Fox’s Wedding ending path, so grab it while you’re already working through that ending’s requirements.

Be Free of Your Hatred

Unlock Rate: 12.1% (Very Rare)

Requirement: [Not listed on Steam – purify a key item]

How to Unlock: In the Main Hall, complete the Crimson Water puzzle by activating the Earth, Mountain, and Wood bells in rhythm with the Shishi-odoshi bamboo water device, which unlocks the option to purify the Sacred Sword.

Tips: Interact with the stone near the pond first to start the puzzle sequence before attempting to hit the bells in time with the device’s strikes.

A Gift I Cannot Accept

Unlock Rate: 9.3% (Very Rare)

Requirement: [Not listed on Steam – offer a key item, tied to the True Ending]

How to Unlock: Offer the Brooch to the ancient Jizo Statue as part of the Ebisugaoka in Silence (True) ending requirements.

Tips: Save right before this offering, since it’s one of the final and most restrictive steps toward the True ending.

Inari-sama’s Secrets

Unlock Rate: 6.1% (Very Rare)

Requirement: [Not listed on Steam – open all sealed doors and boxes]

How to Unlock: On New Game+, use the Brooch to open all 4 sealed doors and 7 sealed boxes marked with Inari-sama’s seal scattered across the game.

Tips: One door with a fox family crest can actually be opened on your very first playthrough using the Brooch, so don’t assume every sealed door requires New Game+.

Collection

Close to the Sun

Unlock Rate: 5.3% (Very Rare)

Requirement: Fully upgraded Health, Sanity, and Stamina.

How to Unlock: Find all Health, Sanity, and Stamina upgrade items across multiple playthroughs and spend them to fully max out all three stats.

Tips: Some upgrade items only appear in New Game+ or New Game+2, so this realistically takes at least two full playthroughs to complete.

Fervent Collector

Unlock Rate: 13.4% (Very Rare)

Requirement: Obtained all the items that increase inventory size.

How to Unlock: Find and collect all 6 items that expand your inventory capacity, spread across the game’s areas.

Tips: Prioritize these early in each playthrough since a larger inventory makes item and collectible management easier for the rest of your run.

Omamori Collector

Unlock Rate: 9.7% (Very Rare)

Requirement: Obtained all the omamori available from hokora.

How to Unlock: Spend Faith points to purchase all 23 Omamori charms available from Hokora shrines.

Tips: Collect and exchange Offerings for Faith steadily throughout your playthroughs rather than spending it all immediately, so you have enough saved up to buy every available Omamori.

Omamori Sage

Unlock Rate: 4.8% (Ultra Rare)

Requirement: Obtained all the hidden omamori.

How to Unlock: Find all 17 hidden Omamori scattered through the game world, separate from the ones purchased at Hokora shrines.

Tips: Use a dedicated hidden Omamori location guide alongside your playthroughs, since these are easy to miss without a specific list to check against.

The Truth about the Tsuneki Family

Unlock Rate: 10.3% (Very Rare)

Requirement: Obtained the following documents: “Housemaid’s Note,” “Family Physician’s Log,” “Strict Mother’s Letter.”

How to Unlock: Collect all pages of these three specific document sets, which are scattered across different areas and sometimes different playthroughs.

Tips: Some pages of these documents only appear on New Game+ or New Game+2, so check a documents location guide to confirm you’re not missing a page tied to a specific run.

Fate of the Apostate

Unlock Rate: 9.4% (Very Rare)

Requirement: Obtained all the following documents: “Diary of Revenge.”

How to Unlock: Collect every page of the “Diary of Revenge” document set found throughout the game.

Tips: This document set is tied to a specific character’s questline, so follow their story thread closely across playthroughs to catch every page.

A Miko Possessed

Unlock Rate: 6.7% (Very Rare)

Requirement: Obtained all the following documents: “Sakuko’s Diary.”

How to Unlock: Collect all pages of “Sakuko’s Diary,” found in the Worship Hall. Note that the locations for these pages differ across your first playthrough, New Game+, and New Game+2, so missing one on your first run means later pages will spawn in on subsequent runs.

Tips: Grab every diary page you can on each visit to the Worship Hall rather than assuming you can backtrack for missed ones on the same playthrough.

Fires of Jealousy

Unlock Rate: 6.4% (Very Rare)

Requirement: Obtained all the following documents: “Rinko’s Diary.”

How to Unlock: Collect all pages of “Rinko’s Diary” scattered across the game’s areas.

Tips: This document set ties into Rinko’s boss fight and backstory, so keep an eye out for diary pages in areas connected to her story thread.

Good Intentions…

Unlock Rate: 7.1% (Very Rare)

Requirement: Obtained all the following documents: “Clinical Trial.”

How to Unlock: Collect all pages of the “Clinical Trial” document. One page appears per playthrough, found in Ebisugaoka during your fifth visit.

Tips: Since only one Clinical Trial page appears per playthrough, you’ll need at least as many runs as there are pages, so prioritize grabbing it every time you reach that fifth visit.

5-Phase 100% Completion Roadmap

Phase 1: Story Run (Run 0) Play through the game once on Story action and puzzle difficulty to enjoy the narrative and learn the mechanics. This unlocks all the automatic story achievements and the Coming Home to Roost (Normal) ending. Make a manual save before the final Shiromuku fight to also catch The Bird that Flies Highest.

P2: New Game+ Collection Run (Run 1) Start New Game+ with a different puzzle difficulty than Run 0. Use this run to collect the bulk of the game’s collectibles, pursue the Sacred Sword and Agura no Hotei-sama key items, and use manual saves to catch The Fox Wets Its Tail, Fox’s Wedding, and The Great Space Invasion! endings within the same playthrough.

P3: New Game+2 True Ending Run (Run 2) Start New Game+2 from a save with at least two full endings completed (The Great Space Invasion! doesn’t count toward this). Avoid Red Capsules, purify the Sacred Sword, and offer the Brooch to the Jizo Statue to reach Ebisugaoka in Silence, the True ending.

P4: Difficulty Cleanup Complete the game on Lost in the Fog action difficulty (available from New Game+ onward) on whichever run makes sense once your stats and Omamori are built up. Since puzzle difficulty achievements don’t stack, make sure you’ve dedicated separate runs to Story, Hard, and Lost in the Fog puzzle settings across your playthroughs.

P5: Missable and Combat Cleanup Use any remaining New Game+ runs to mop up missed no-hit achievements, document sets, and hidden Omamori. Cross-reference a collectible and missable achievement checklist, since most of the game’s difficulty comes from timing rather than combat skill at this stage.

Conclusion

Silent Hill f’s hardest work isn’t any single boss fight, it’s bookkeeping across three or more playthroughs. Endings, key items, and documents all depend on choices and pickups from earlier runs, and several achievements require avoiding an item entirely or hitting a precise timing window during a boss fight. Follow a structured multi-run plan, save manually before every ending and no-hit encounter, and the achievement list becomes a matter of patience rather than raw skill.
