  1. Head to Rinko's House
  2. Obtain the Key (Ara-Abare Boss Fight)
  3. Escape Through the Storehouse
  4. Escape (Solve the Fields Puzzle)
  5. Meet Up With Shu

1. Head 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.

Detour to the Doctor's House Near the Fields

Doctor
Before you reach the fields, you can do a little detour to the north and find a house with an accessible ladder to its right side. Climb it and enter the house to obtain the Pine Omamori, some notes and a radio broadcast.

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

The Ara-Abare is a large monstrous entity that has a slow attack speed, and will occassionally 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

Silent Hill f Escape Through the Storehouse

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)

Silent Hill f Solve the Fields Puzzle

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

Silent Hill f Meet Up With Shu

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.

Boss Enemy: Ara-abare

Ara-abare Information
Silent Hill f Ara-abare Boss Enemy
Description 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!
