Silent Hill f Endings
Unlocking every Silent Hill f ending requires juggling morality decisions, companion loyalty, and collectible milestones. This Silent Hill f endings guide breaks down the four main finales—Floral Rebirth, Bloom Eternal, Fungal Ascension, and the hidden Omamori Promise—while preserving surprise via spoiler toggles. We reference the collectibles tracker for trophy requirements and the walkthrough for chapter timing.
Ending System Overview
Silent Hill f endings hinge on three invisible meters: Compassion, Tradition, and Corruption. Compassion rises when you spare enemies or aid villagers; Tradition increases when you honor rituals; Corruption escalates if you overuse fungus powers. Before Chapter 10, the game snapshot determines which finale branches unlock. Track choices with our flowchart to minimize replays.
Floral Rebirth Ending
Key Requirements
- Compassion > 70%
- Complete side quest "A Mother's Plea" (Chapter 7)
- Spare the Griefbound Sister boss in Chapter 5
- Collect Omamori #58 (see collectibles guide)
Aya channels the shrine's spirit to cleanse Silent Hill, freeing villagers while maintaining her humanity. The credits roll with Aya leaving town alongside surviving allies.
Strategy Tip: Aim for stealth resolutions in Chapters 2 and 3 to raise Compassion. Purchase the "Gentle Hands" perk from the PS5 dualsense settings to better feel enemy heartbeat cues for pacifist takedowns.
Bloom Eternal Ending
Key Requirements
- Corruption > 50%
- Use fungal abilities at least 15 times after Chapter 8
- Destroy Omamori #34 during Chapter 10 ritual
Aya merges with the fungus, spreading protective spores across Silent Hill. New Game Plus unlocks mutation modifiers and the "Corrupted Resolve" outfit.
Strategy Tip: To raise Corruption safely, farm spores in Chapter 9's forest. Keep antidotes ready—if Corruption hits 100%, you trigger a premature game over. Balance usage with alkali from the fungus sample list.
Fungal Ascension Ending
Key Requirements
- Tradition > 60%
- Complete all ritual events without failing mini-games
- Perform the optional incense ceremony in Chapter 8
Aya inherits the role of shrine guardian, balancing human and fungal forces. This ending unlocks exclusive dialogue variations in New Game Plus and boosts Omamori effectiveness.
Strategy Tip: Practice ritual mini-games via the training mode added in patch 1.02. We document patterns in the puzzle archive.
Hidden Ending – Omamori Promise
Key Requirements
- Collect all Omamori charms
- Achieve Compassion ≥ 50% and Tradition ≥ 50%
- Trigger secret interaction at the Chapter 11 mirror garden
Aya seals the curse by entrusting the Omamori to a new guardian, freeing herself to leave Silent Hill. Unlocks the "Promise Keeper" trophy and alternate epilogue artwork.
Strategy Tip: Visit the mirror garden with Omamori #58 equipped. Interact with the shrine to trigger the hidden cutscene. Details appear in the Chapter 11 walkthrough.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I change endings late in the game?
Yes—Chapter 13 recalculates metrics before the final choice. Keep multiple save slots so you can rewind to Chapter 11 if necessary.
Do difficulty levels affect endings?
No. Endings depend only on your decisions and collectible status, not the difficulty setting. However, Hard mode grants extra alkali, making Corruption management easier.
Is there a true ending?
Konami states all endings are canon perspectives. The hidden Omamori Promise is considered Aya's personal liberation and grants the richest epilogue.
