Lost Memories (Silent Hill 3)


 * This article is about the memo. For the guide released by Konami, see Book of Lost Memories. For the book as seen in Silent Hill 2, see Book: "Lost Memories".

Lost Memories is a book found in Silent Hill 3, inside room C4 of the Otherworld Brookhaven Hospital. It is a copy of the same book that James Sunderland and Maria found on respective occasions in Silent Hill 2.

Reading it will give the player a clue that the plastic bag with blood found previously must be spilled on the altar near the book, and thus allowing Heather Mason to proceed down a ladder to defeat Leonard Wolf.

Transcript

 * "One characteristic, mentioned only
 * in rare documents and dying out in
 * the modern age, is that of the ritual
 * sacrifice.


 * 'Offering prayers, pierce a man's
 * chest with a copper stake. Drench
 * the altar in the blood which spouts
 * red from the heart, to praise and to
 * show loyalty unto God.'


 * In another sacrificial rite mentioned
 * in the same book, the victim is
 * burned alive.


 * This was a more dignified ceremony
 * in which prisoners and sinners were
 * not allowed to participate. Only the
 * clergy could be sacrificed.


 * Similar to burning at the stake, no
 * comparable rite can be found in
 * religions practiced nearby. It may
 * have some connection with the
 * main deity being a sun god.


 * Even though this religion extols
 * redemption, it brings to mind a
 * dark and cultish history."
