Silent Hill f Go to Rinko's House

Back in Ebisugaoka town, walk away from Chizuruya General Store and head northeast to Rinko's house. Along the way, you'll encounter multiple Kashimashi that will pose a threat to you.

You'll be greeted by a brief cutscene upon reaching the field's outskirts. Continue northwest through the fields, until you reach the garden.

Approach the well adjacent to the storeroom door and attempt to grab the key from the small toolbox at its lip. This will trigger another cutscene where Hinako comes face to face with the Ara-Abare.

2. Obtain the Key (Ara-Abare Boss Fight)

Ara-Abare boss fight in Silent Hill f

The Ara-Abare is a large monstrous entity that has a slow attack speed, and will occasionally let out a roar to disorient you. It takes its time to recover after striking with a melee attack, so use this opening to circle behind it and land hits safely.

Stay alert when it charges its tentacled hand, as it can lash out and grab Hinako from a distance. Once the monster is defeated, turn the well's crank to pull up the storeroom key that fell at the bottom.

3. Escape Through the Storehouse

Escape through the storehouse in Silent Hill f

Open the storehouse lock with the key that you obtain, and lift up bundled wooden planks blocking the path to your left. Afterwards, jump out of the window on Shu's signal before the two Kashimashi in the room attack you.

Then, head to Rinko's House while following behind Shu.

4. Escape (Solve the Fields Puzzle)

Solve the Fields puzzle in Silent Hill f

Approach the faceless scarecrow in the center of the field to collect a note containing the first puzzle clue. Scattered behind it are dormant Ayakakashi, which are scarecrow-like entities, each with a thorn-like flashcard embedded in their side.

Note that this section will have different solutions depending on your puzzle difficulty. Your goal is to locate the correct Ayakakashi and remove its flashcard. Doing so will cause it to point you toward the next group, guiding you through the puzzle.

Be careful though, as removing a flashcard from the wrong scarecrow will make it hostile and start attacking you.

5. Meet Up With Shu

Meet up with Shu in Silent Hill f

After solving the Fields Puzzle, Hinako will be directly in front of Rinko's house. Approach the house with Shu and be greeted with a cutscene where they are both reunited with Rinko.

Although, as the group begins their journey out of the monster-ridden town, Hinako is implied to be pushed down the stairs, sending her back into the sinister clutches of the Dark Shrine and its winding Corridors.

Ara-Abare Information

"A giant, repulsive lump of flesh that is filled to the brim with a maniacal anger."

"It howls awfully as it swings its large knife in any which direction. Its unfettered anger is no different from that of a wild animal... No. It's far worse than that."

The Ara-Abare with its hulking form will serve as the area's only boss enemy, dealing slow and powerful swings with its greatsword. Watch out for its tentacled arm and exploit any openings while it recovers from a heavy melee attack to defeat it!
