وهذا جوابه بس بالانجليزي

After James defeats the two Pyramid Heads in the nightmare version of
the Lakeside Hotel and moves on, his actions during the game are added
up and an ending is determined by the game's program. But before we move
on, I'd like to point out something rather interesting. Anyone who has
played the first game wouldn't miss this, but someone who hasn't might
like to know. If you look closely at the carpet in the Hotel Lobby
before or during the Pyramid Head Duo boss fight, you'll notice two very
feint circular designs on the carpet. This is the infamous Mark of
Samael, imported directly from the first game! For those of you who
haven't played SH1, I'll explain briefly: A little girl named Alessa was
conceived through a magic ritual to bear the demon seed of an ancient
god named Samael. Due to her wounds received in a suspicious fire, she
remained in a coma for seven years. During this time, the evil powers
inside Alessa's immobile body had time to develop and grab a foothold in
the real world. When her soul-mate younger sister was returned to Silent
Hill by her clueless adoptive father, the power within Alessa burst
forth and took over the town, causing all the residents to disappear.
Under the psychic control of Samael, the soul-mate younger sister
adopted Alessa's teenage form and began magically spreading the mark of
Samael all over the town. By spreading this sigil, the demon god was
able to exert more power and more influence over our dimension. The mark
was spread far enough that even when Alessa was defeated, the town
remained in a perpetual state of fogginess. When the mark appears in the
Lakeside Hotel's lobby, it is a clear indication of who is really behind
all that is going on in this town. Further proof of Samael's rule over
Silent Hill is indicated in the secret book, the Crimson Ceremony. More
about this book and its other meaning in the game is explored in the
description of the "Rebirth" Ending.

I wanted to point all of this out to clarify things to folks who haven't
played the first game, and to show everyone what the true connection
between the two games is. Now on to the endings.

"MARIA" ENDING
This is the ending I got first, and I think most people will. This
ending occurs when you spend a lot of time with Maria, protect her from
harm, and do exactly what she says. At the end of the game, James hears
a replay of the final conversation with Mary before she died. If you go
through the corridor and exit through the other door before the dialogue
ends, you will get the "Maria" ending.

In this ending, James confronts Mary. He must apologize for taking so
long to find Mary, and for spending so much time with Maria. Mary is not
willing to let James move on and have a happier life. She transforms
into the most repulsive demon seen yet, and the final boss fight ensues.

After the battle, when James finally executes Mary, he returns to the
pier by the lake. Not surprisingly, Maria shows up. You just can't keep
a good slut down, I suppose. =) She attempts idle conversation, noting
that James decided to kill Mary again. James has come to a resolution,
which he suddenly springs on Maria. He has decided to accept a life with
Maria, and he wants her to leave Silent Hill with him. As a reward, she
hands over Mary's true letter. It allows James to let go of the past,
and to carry on in a new life with Maria. Together, they head back to
James' car parked by the highway.

But wait, isn't Maria just a fake replica of Mary? That's right. And
according to Konami, James has decided to accept the lies and false
promises of the dark forces in Silent Hill. He has decided that there is
more hope of a happier life with a fake Mary than to remain suffering
for what he did to Mary for the rest of his life. When he fought Mary
during the final battle, she was really just a representation of his
inner guilt and doubts made manifest. By "killing" his guilt and doubts,
James decides that he can't keep punishing himself. He rewards himself
by severing his obligations to his dead wife and putting his faith in
this newer and more pleasant facsimile of her instead. James has
succumbed to Maria's temptation. But the promise of a new life with
Maria is an empty one. In the final scene of this ending, as Maria and
James reach his car, she lets out another of her wracking coughs.
Ultimately, James will have to watch Maria die just as he watched Mary,
and the entire cycle of guilt and despair will begin again. But James
will at least be happy for the short term.

"LEAVE" ENDING
By spending as little time with Maria as possible, and by keeping
himself healthy and moving quickly through the game, James proves that
he has really returned to Silent Hill in order to find Mary. This ending
is also reinforced if James stops and stares at Mary's picture every
once in a while, and re-reads her letter often. The "Leave" Ending is
perhaps the more satisfying ending of the game, and I'll explain why and
what it means.

In the final boss fight, James rushes to the final area and assumes that
he has found Mary. But actually it is Maria, pretending to be his dead
wife. This is more proof than ever that Maria is really just an evil
facsimile of Mary. When he realizes what Maria is, he casts her aside.
Maria won't be tossed away so easily, and the final battle begins. Maria
reveals her horrible true form at last.

After James has executed the Maria demon, he finds himself at Mary's
bedside once again. Now he is speaking directly to the person he holds
so deeply in his heart. For one brief instance, she is alive again.
James holds nothing back. Sobbing with grief, he apologizes for killing
her, for wanting her misery to end. He admits wanting to end his own
misery as well. And finally, Mary forgives James and bids him to go on
with his life. She gives to him her real letter.

As the letter is read and we come to understand Mary's final wishes,
James and Laura leave Silent Hill together. The little girl runs ahead
of James, as they head through the lakeside graveyard back to James car.
This ending indicates that James is leaving Silent Hill with the closure
and resolution that he came here for. He can let go of his guilt, cast
off the demons that have plagued him, and begin again with Laura.

"IN WATER" ENDING
By far the most depressing of the four endings. If James examines
Angela's knife, reads the suicide diary on the hospital roof, listens to
the conversation on the headphones, and runs around wounded for long
periods without healing, then the game determines that he is acting in a
suicidal manner and this ending is achieved. Through his behavior,
James indicates that he wants to end his life. When he confronts Maria's
true form in the final scenes, she realizes that he plans to kill
himself in order to be together with Mary in death, and she wants to
prevent him. By murdering him herself, perhaps Maria can drag James down
to Hell so that he can't be with Mary. By defeating Maria's demon form,
James finds himself back at the moment of Mary's death. Rather than kill
her again, he apologizes for what he did to her. Despite her pleas for
him to go on with his life, he cannot. James picks up Mary and carries
her back to his car. He drives into the lake, and drowns in the murky
depths. Most people will find this a rather disturbing and unsatisfying
ending, and it's meant to be that way. The developers are trying to
encourage the player to seek out Mary more diligently.

"REBIRTH" ENDING
This ending is only available in a replay game, by collecting the four
new ceremonial items that appear at various locations throughout the
game. By collecting these items, James holds the keys to communicating
with the evil powers in control of Silent Hill. He determines that he
can possibly reunite with Mary by enlisting the aid of the old gods, and
resurrect his dead wife from the dead so that they might live together
forever in Silent Hill.

After James casts off Maria and defeats her true form, he gets back in
the boat and rows to an isolated island in the middle of the lake. We
are privy to his final thoughts, and it is clear that James intends to
use these ceremonial items to perform an ancient ritual to appease the
dark spirits which are so readily manifest in Silent Hill. He believes
this is why he was drawn here, to learn that such powers do indeed exist.
It is as if he has revived the cult of Samael, which was wiped out in
the first game.

The key to performing the ritual is the book called the "Crimson
Ceremony". As if written by Samael himself, this book clearly
legitimizes the ancient god's influence in Silent Hill:

"Speak.
I am the Crimson One.
The lies and the mist are not they but I.
You all know that I am One.
Yes, and the One is I.
Believers hearken to me!
Twenty score men and seven thousand beasts.
Heed my words and speaketh them to all, that they
shall ever be obeyed even under the light of the
proud and merciless sun.
I shall bring down bitter vengeance upon thee and
thou shalt suffer my eternal wrath. The beauty of
the withering flower and the last struggles of the
dying man, they are my blessings. Thou shalt ever
call upon me and all that is me in the place that
is silent.
Oh, proud fragrance of life which flies towards
the heart. Oh Cup which brims with the whitest of
wine, it is in thee that all begins."

Yeeesh, chilling stuff! The purpose of the book is to clarify the usage
of the Obsidian Goblet and the White Chrism, two other secret items that
can only be found in a replay game. By collecting these items and
viewing the "Rebirth" Ending, it's obvious that James has decided to
become a follower of Samael. By engaging in the dark ceremonies, he has
come to the insane conclusion that perhaps he will be able to resurrect
Mary from the dead by joining with and utilizing the powers of evil.

"DOG" ENDING
I'm not sure I even want to go into this one! This is merely an inside
joke on the part of the developers. By viewing all three endings or the
Rebirth Ending alone, the DOG Key appears along with the little doghouse
in the space behind Jack's Inn on Nathan Avenue. It's good to know the
practice of finding keys in doghouses of Silent Hill hasn't changed.

After finding the key, use it to unlock the "Observation Room" on the
third floor of the Nightmare Lakeside Hotel, right after James views
the tape. What happens inside is just too hysterical! The hilarity
continues as the credit rolls.
