The Transform Costume is an item that appears in the inventory of Silent Hill 3 as an unlockable costume. After entering "PrincessHeart" into the costume typewriter, the Transform Costume will automatically appear in the inventory on an Extra New Game.
Using it activates a Sailor Moon-esqe sequence where Heather Mason transforms into her alter ego Princess Heart. The costume allows Heather to run long distances without tiring. Also, if the Heather Beam is unlocked, the costume allows the use of the Sexy Beam, an upgraded version of the Heather Beam.
Silent Hill: Book of Memories[]
In Silent Hill: Book of Memories, it returns as an Expansion Pack weapon, simply called Princess Heart. It is a very powerful weapon and has two attacks: a tap will shoot an energy ball, and holding the button will shoot laser beams.
They sell for 7,000 MR, making it the most profitable weapon in the game, next to the Great Spear (4,000 MR), TV remote (3,000 MR), and television (2,250 MR).
Because the weapons respawn in zones when the player resets the game, they can essentially exploit selling them to farm Memory Residue:
- Save in library > Find Princess Heart(s) > Run to Howard's Shop and sell them > Save > Reset game (repeat)
This method is especially useful if the player finds two (or more) Princess Hearts in a zone (along with a Great Spear or TV remote), meaning they can easily earn 14,000 MR every 10 minutes or so. For comparison, the priciest item in the game is the Silver Bracer of Serpents (77,700 MR), and the second most expensive item is the Chamuel's Rose Quartz (27,000 MR).
Trivia[]
Silent Hill 3 Secret Voices
Heather speaking Japanese.
- While wearing the Princess Heart costume, if Heather fights the Insane Cancer in the Otherworld Hilltop Center (in the room with the pork liver), it will speak Japanese in a robotic voice. Heather will speak Japanese when attacked or killed, and if Heather swings the maul, she makes a comical war cry. It is currently unknown if this occurs anywhere else.
Silent Hill 3 - Heather Beam, Sexy Beam
Heather using Sexy Beam at 0:50.
- Unlocking the costume in the Silent Hill HD Collection gives the achievement "Where's Luna?", a probable reference to Sailor Moon's cat seen in both the manga and anime.
- Also in the Silent Hill HD Collection, the "If Looks Could Kill" achievement/trophy (received for obtaining Heather Beam) icon is an image of Heather in her Princess Heart costume. This image is actually unofficial and created by a deviantART user.[1]
Princess Heart outfit in Book of Memories.
- In Silent Hill: Book of Memories, in addition to the weapon, if the player creates a female avatar with the Cosplay class and chooses color scheme #4, the female protagonist will strongly resemble Princess Heart. The player can take it a step further by choosing Heather's hairstyle and equipping the Princess Earmuffs accessory.
