  • Any idea how many there are? I just finished the game and had 49 mysteries,so i know it's more than that lol.. Trying to avoid a 3rd playthrough,since i just need this trophy for the platinum.
  • Nevermind it's 53 for the trophy,just got it..
  • For some reason the envelope puzzle in the Historical Building won't add the mystery to my journal, I can't even get this trophy...
  • There's a glitch after you meet dj ricks, just go back to the main door after you've already completed it and then just walk back to the fountain then head back to the door, rinse and repeat till you get however many you need! Everytime you go back it adds a mystery, check your stats and you'll see!
  • I'm in the Orphanage right now, so I just need to go back to the building entrance and I'll get the mystery?
  • @#4 im not really understanding what you mean. are you saying once you do the dj station you can go back into the door and pick something up until you have a total of 53 mysteries, and thats all you have to do? is that true?
  • @#6 Nope, I need to do another playthrough for them all. If you miss one in the HB or the Orphanage, you're screwed out of this trophy till your next playthrough.
  • @6 yes i finished the game with 67 mysteries even though there are only 53, it won't put anything new in your journal but if u check your stats you'll notice that it goes up. i did this on my 2nd playthrough don't know if that matters though..
  • u can't go back inside the building but as soon as u walk up to the door it will automatically open up your journal, also you might have to go to the next area that opens up after dealing with the dj and then come back..
  • I just got this trophy on my first play through with a glitch not mentioned in this guide. I don't think it matters but I did this after I finished all the side quests (excluding "digging up the past" obviously). So here's what I did, head over to where the theatre is and go up the stairs and than go right (unless you are coming from the other direction just go left) down the stairs to the Centennial Building (it was circled on my map, [again not sure if this matters]). Go inside and up to the door and your journal should open automatically. Now here's the glitch, all you need to do is close your journal and head back up the stairs where the pond is than turn around head back down the stairs to where your journal opens automatically by the door (repeat this as many times as needed to get t
  • The glitch on mentioned by #4 (hazelnut48) works perfectly. This can be exploited at 38% completion of the game, just after finishing the Otherworld sequence at the top of the Centennial Building (where you meet DJ Ricks, the WLMN FM radio station). After the cutscene with Howard the mailman (when he gives you the letter from the Monastery), you can backtrack to the Centennial Building entrance (which is now inaccessible) and your journal with automatically open up and add a "mystery" under your Statistics. Exit out of your journal and run back to the fountain, then run back to the door and your journal will open again and add another "mystery". Rinse and repeat. This came in handy after finishing my first playthrough, THOROUGHLY making sure I had every note/document/mystery for my j
  • ournal, and yet didn't get the trophy. The number you are looking to get is 53 of the "mysteries". You can keep track of how many you've collected by pushing Start and checking under "Statistics". Konami had mentioned an upcoming patch for both Silent Hill HD Collection and this game, and it may fix bugs such as this one, so use it while you can if you got screwed out of this trophy even after sincere effort! As of right now though, this glitch still works, and I just got the trophy!
  • So that's what it was, I was wondering what that extra mystery was. But I'm coming here to confirm that it still works, even after the patch.
  • @ #13 Did the glitch still work after the patch?
  • Playing this game all the way through for the 4th time now. Ugh! I'm 100% completing all the sidequests this time through, doing the bank last (re-load data) and finishing up the last 2 endings for platinum :) Also wanted to point out, the glitch no longer works. The first door will be closed, making it so that you can't walk up to the memo anymore :/
  • Part 1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IP3yNa8EOtc&list=PLA13F836D2C215D08&index=19 Part 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQnXhstwht0&list=PLA13F836D2C215D08&index=20 Part 3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KjtTV4sPTGQ&list=PLA13F836D2C215D08&index=21 Enjoy, but remember this trophy have little bugs !!
  • do you only have to collect the mysteries to unlock the trophy or do you also have to get all the book entries related to side quests?
  • Missed a few in orphanage FFS!! Gotta do another playthrough anyway but was hopin to just blast through. Love silent hill and this game is immense but the horrible frame rate and constant freezing and slowing takes the fun out of it. They really bolloxed this one up!
