@@maxderrat I like your work, just discovered it yesterday and already have seen almost all your SH vids. Now, I have a STRONG criticism on this one. Plese, please for the love of God DO NOT call horrible torture, kidnap and burning alive your daughter "bullying". Not only that word is now overused to the point of becoming meaningless, you also are contributing to the incredibly absurd and mentally damaging narrative that equates ANY amount of emotionall distress caused by others to torture and rape. It's the kind of parallel that encourages victimism and snowflakeism to the toxic current extent.

Thank you sir. It's a bit of a struggle at the moment. If I don't keep a consistent schedule, TH-cam forsakes my channel. However, I recognize that I am giving less attention to my health and happiness with this consistent output. I am attempting to address this conflict at the moment, so hopefully something good comes out of it.
This story is so complex, when we played silent hill back in the day we would speculate over what it was about. We always thought the town collapsed and fell into purgatory deep in the earth, that's why the roads are caved in and there's all the dust in the air and little demons. Back then there was no explanations you could watch in youtube, it was a really mysterious game.
We didn't need TH-cam. We speculate on what we saw during gameplay. Just like the TH-camrs. Unless the creators put out the full story, we use what we find. It gets on my nerves when TH-camrs claim their interpretations as fact. The game wiki is also interpretation made by fans. I tend to stay away from them as the game tells you all you need to know.
I always thought that Robbie the Rabbit represented a child's cruel innocence. The naivete of playfully inflicting harm on another without understanding the gravity of their actions.
Don’t forget the head-twitching was inspired by Jacob’s Ladder. Hey, thanks for offering education to players of DBD of this well loved series and it’s lore.
I love Silent Hill and its lore. It's pure genius and sadly you don't see that anymore in the current games. Your videos explain a lot in a very clear way and I love it. Thanks.
I thank you for introducing me into the silent hill franchise, sh3 is one of the best games I played and your insights introduce many to those games, especially metal gear (which you also introduced me to), thank you Max and dont worry about server and mc issues as your community is a very open and amazing one
@@maxderrat Absolutely, it's just a shame I can't speak to great and wonderful people like yourself and yours truly ;) anymore on discord, but the people I already met and your insightful videos are the best thing on the internet for me
Wow. Man, are you sure? What about the fact that "The Executioner" is not connected with Heather because it is a personification of James Sanderland's desire to be punished. Or the fact that James never knew Heather or Mason's family, yet "The Executioner" is visible the same way for her as for James which doesn't make any sense. Or that the map is School where Heather has never been before. Or that the siren is basically a thing from the movie and it was never seen in the original game. So, how is that more accurate?
Despite Pyramid Head being in (and I think he was only put in because he's the most recognizable monster) you can at least tell the devs made an effort to learn the lore.
15:00 the one at the top is the eye of providence, and to the left is the scales of justice from Egyptian and Greek myth. I'm only just learning this series so do with that what you will, hardcore fans.
@ULTRA LIGHT Lisa was thenurse of Alessa Gillespie and she was tending to her when she was inthe hospital. Butshewas also a drug addict taking the drug from dr kaufmann (i think that's his name) so she would keep an eye on Alessa badically. When Alessa created the nightmare version of the town everyone else was trapped and Lisa thought she was the only one alive and not a monster. Sadly she actually was dead and when she realised this she began to transform. She can appear from the floor in the endgamw and grab Kaufmann by his legs, taking him to the underworld. At least thats what i recall, it's been a long while since i read the wikis
@ULTRA LIGHT You only ever saw Lisa while in other world. She never realized that she was one of the monster nurses in the hospital. She starts changing once she realizes it. When she grabs Kaufman, she's not Lisa anymore. Hence his screams of terror.
Good video.. As a hardcore silent hill lover, I hope that everyone who wants to understand the lore of silent hill, please also consider in playing the game.. it’s worth your time
I always wondered why Cheryl bascially ignores her dad calling to her and goes deeper into town It all makes sense now! She doesn't hate Harry's mullet at all... okay, maybe she did; but that's not why she ran off
Alessa's ritual did not involve fire, per the first Silent Hill game. Other games/movies tried to retcon this fact, but the fire was causes by Alessa through the ritual.
Whether the fire during Alessa's ritual was intentional or not is one of my 3 taboo topics regarding Silent Hill. There has been a lot of misinformations spread among the community and it's hard to convince people otherwise. Please don't bring this point ever again.
The symbol in the center right side that looks like a flipped C, O, C again on 14:34 is a wicca ritual symbol called the three moons also symbolising the cycle of life
There is a mod for fall out 4 called "whispering hills" it does an overhaul of the game to make it more silent hill like. But the more interesting bit is the actual quest that takes you into the otherworld. Now I didn't know enough about silent hill to understand all of but I bet you would enjoy it, and there's more of it planned for the future if I understand it correctly, and I'd love to see a video about it and how it compares to the silent hill lore. If you can survive the attacks of course.... I don't want spoil it for you though. 😉
As far as I can tell, the north, south, east, west symbols are varied. The north, a riff on the Ancient Egyptian Eye of Horus. East is the most closely remeniscent of something you might find in the Ars Goetia, the western symbol a similar theme but with some very vague 'illuminati'-esque symbolism. The south, as far I can tell, is just gibberish. The top line seems to incorporate the symbols of an electrical circuit and mathematics, while the bottom is some kind of Klingon and something that calls to mind a pitchfork, reminding people of 'witch' and hell, etc. Honestly my reading of this symbol as a whole, is that the artists borrowed from a bunch of 'legitimate' sources and then just threw spaghetti at a wall to see what stuck.
Amazing video, thank you so much for all the detail in it! I like to think that in DbD the Flauros and the sigils (both Metatron and the Halo), besides the Entity's copy of what it saw in the true town, are there as a way of keeping Silent Hill's creatures and power in check. We don't really know how powerful the Entity might be against the God, but having precautions is always a smart idea. Wouldn't want Pyramid Head guiding sinners into some "In Water" numb mentality if you mainly feed off their emotions, would you? Or Cheryl/Alessa suddenly taking their little Entity control perk into turbo mode.
HIGHLY recommend his video about Pyramid Head if you haven't seen it already. It was incredibly interesting and insightful, maybe THE best silent hill video I have seen.
You really gotta give the DbD devs props for their work. They really did do their homework to make everything as accurate as they could and added nice little Easter eggs.
Something to point out, Robbie the Rabbit doesn’t actually move in DbD either. Canonically, the costume just appears in the fog one day and The Legion decide that the costume looks scary so they’ll wear it
Always been one of my favorite games series ever. Played through nearly every game and done soooo much research....but still deciding to watch this video
As far as I understand The Entity took The Pyramid Head straight from James's psyche, and just before sending both him and Cheryl into the realm it managed to manifest The Pyramid Head into Cheryl's psyche. It also confirms that Pyramid Head is an embodyment of guilt at least in dbd side of things. It can all be explained as dbd's universe, is a multiverse, some items and universes are referenced in the archives, such as Terra Primus, Terra Dark etc. In short, The Entity can manifest a memory/a person/item from a different time, place or mind, that's why Pyramid Head is here together with Cheryl. Also I was so confused why people kept calling her Heather, at least I understand everything now.
Wasn't Pyramid head mentioned in a SH2 newspaper article you can find near bins at the apartments where a man who murdered his family I think stated he's seen a red devil? Which makes me guess it's basically a hint at Pyramid head before you even meet him as James later And the painting, it makes me think that it is an actual thing and not just a mindtrick to mess with Sunderland. Which makes me think that Pyramid Head as a whole may just be a symbol of guilt and thrives to punish until the sinner accepts their mistakes Just what I've been feeling like about it lately tbh
There are a couple things I remember in the bathroom in the vary far corner of the map you can hear crying and the medallions are used but they just appear after you finish the generators I also bel at the dead end of the vary last floor to the stairs you can hear whispers
14:57 you telling me that isn’t just the Millennium Eye at the top, all jokes aside it’s clearly Egyptian inspired and likely relates to the Eye of Horus or Ra, just as yugioh did, being silent hill is Japanese in origin I wouldn’t be surprised if it had some inspiration
I was just watching all these videos of You and i wasn't expecting to see mentioning of the Rovás Írás, the old Hungarian Alphabet. it caught Me off guard xD
The Halo of The Sun's circles could also represent the trinity and three Suns, the fourth (their god) being birthed from the three but is unseen or the entire thing.
Ive had the tune that starts right when he starts talking about Alessa, (1:10 or so) in my head ever since watching this, can anyone tell me the song name?
The song is called "Claw Finger" and it's from Silent Hill 1. Sorry for taking so long to respond. xD Here is a link to an extended version of the song: th-cam.com/video/6Z676IOGY7E/w-d-xo.html
The crescent fullmoon crescent symbol is known as the triple goddess, and appears to be Hungarian in origin," The "Triple Goddess" symbol of the waxing, full and waning moon, representing the aspects of Maiden, Mother, and Crone."
How do you feel about the theory that the Pyramid Head in Dead by Daylight is actually James Sunderland? As most of the killers in DBD are people in “Killer” forms? I think it’s pretty interesting and actually probable since Pyramid head isn’t actually real but a part of James psychology (his need for punishment).
Lore wise, it would have made sense to have James as the playable character if they were going to use Pyramid Head. Hell, most people (not me) consider the In Water ending canon, so it could work.
A lame but maybe slightly plausible explanation for Robbie the Rabbit: Rabbits serve as a fertility symbol, which may be consistent with the themes of SH3. Heather's apprehension about (if not outright fear of) sex reflects itself here. She sees Robbie for the first time as a hyperbolically large figure smeared in blood, as if to match the exaggerated size and quality of Heather's own fears in contrast to the small, harmless nature that rabbits possess in actuality.
Great Video! I was curious to hear your thoughts on the chapter as a whole. Did you like the Midwich design, and how they handled Pyramid Head and Cheryl?
For real note that hingarian script is VERY reminiscent of nordic runes. I'm glad it was a real language and not something dreamed up. It puts a bit more "real" into such a fantastic setting. That's what I think makes really good interactive experiences. The best lies always contain a grain of truth.
Silent hill, i remember i was 15/ when silent hill 2 was released. It was my very first time playing the series and i had never been so invested in a horror story like that before. Not only did silent hill pull me into the game, i got lost in all its legends and backgrounds. Such an underrated game series. Yeah sure, it had its flops (i enjoyed every single game especially the rooms concept) but it still stands the test of time in my opinion. Still great games! I just beat homecoming this morning for the millionth time.
Thank you for posting these videos, Max. I appreciate every bit of the time and effort you put into each and every video. It's fascinating to hear and see things from your perspective. Such a brilliant mind. Your channel is grossly underrated, in my opinion.
I know this is way off topic I don't know if you even use Twitter anymore but I was just wondering if you like anime like Dr black jack I think you might like it it's similar to monster
How odd why wasn't TH-cam letting me find your Channel or anyting it's really weirdif it wasn't for a buddy of mine I probably would have never found your channel
For someone who is discussing so many times the human condition and the meaning of something in a horror game I cant believe you dont use the night theme for youtube ! =D
I still don't understand how Alyssa how's powers. Yes, it makes sense she would have it during the event of the game, but before the town was abandoned, it doesn't make sense. And in origins, it was the Florus (the Triangle thing if im wrong) was what split Alyssa's soul. What's the reason? 🤔

Robbie the Rabbit in dead by daylight is animate, but the costume is just being worn by a gang of teenagers called the "Legion". It was gifted to them by the games god "The entity".
My God... we're so starved for SH, we're all ferociously devouring every piece of content that appears, even if it's just some fanservice in a shitty asymmetrical online game. Let that sink in
Umm actually, Alessa wasn't trying to rejoin with Cheryl to kill herself. Cheryl joined Alessa the moment she entered Silent Hill. Cheryl was gone from the start. Alessa was trying to stop the birth of Samael by placing the seal of Metatron around the town but her mother tricked Harry into catching Alessa instead. I know you mentioned the seal of Metatron later in the video but the beginning is misleading to those who've never played Silent Hill. Also stop calling them her light and dark side. Alessa isn't dark. Cheryl is simply innocent having never experienced the same darkness Alessa experienced. Try not to use wiki for Silent Hill facts. The game tells you everything you need to know.
On top of the circle is the Eye of God/Creator and on the left side is a Scale weighing Two Great Souls and they are Equal. or Equal parts whatever is under the scale

Why can't we just have a decent remaster of Silent Hill 1-3 Konami? There is an entire new generation of gamers who NEED to experience these games.
I wonder if a remake would work there that old that it can be done right but can game companies pull it off
Because we live in a world where America is going to have to choose between Joe Biden and Donald Trump in the next election.

The rebirthed form of Cheryl is black haired, not blonde. She dies it. This is referenced during the normal ending in the third game
Very nice work!

As far as I understand The Entity took The Pyramid Head straight from James's psyche, and just before sending both him and Cheryl into the realm it managed to manifest The Pyramid Head into Cheryl's psyche.

Also I was so confused why people kept calling her Heather, at least I understand everything now.
Pyramid Head objective was to punish James Sunderland for killing his wife
Wasn't Pyramid head mentioned in a SH2 newspaper article you can find near bins at the apartments where a man who murdered his family I think stated he's seen a red devil? Which makes me guess it's basically a hint at Pyramid head before you even meet him as James later
And the painting, it makes me think that it is an actual thing and not just a mindtrick to mess with Sunderland.
Which makes me think that Pyramid Head as a whole may just be a symbol of guilt and thrives to punish until the sinner accepts their mistakes
Just what I've been feeling like about it lately tbh
I'd be interested in hearing about any lore behind Pyramid Head's DBD perks and add ons, aswell as Cheryl's perks?
There are a couple things I remember in the bathroom in the vary far corner of the map you can hear crying and the medallions are used but they just appear after you finish the generators
I also bel at the dead end of the vary last floor to the stairs you can hear whispers

The song is called "Claw Finger" and it's from Silent Hill 1. Sorry for taking so long to respond. xD Here is a link to an extended version of the song: th-cam.com/video/6Z676IOGY7E/w-d-xo.html
Max: Lisa was ordered by...
Me: Oh boy, I wonder who
Max: The Order.
;)
Maybe Robby the rabbit represents the death of Alessa and Cheryl’s chance at an innocent and playful childhood
Are those "pods" in the chemistry room a reference to Gremlins?
The crescent fullmoon crescent symbol is known as the triple goddess, and appears to be Hungarian in origin," The "Triple Goddess" symbol of the waxing, full and waning moon, representing the aspects of Maiden, Mother, and Crone."
How do you feel about the theory that the Pyramid Head in Dead by Daylight is actually James Sunderland? As most of the killers in DBD are people in “Killer” forms? I think it’s pretty interesting and actually probable since Pyramid head isn’t actually real but a part of James psychology (his need for punishment).
Lore wise, it would have made sense to have James as the playable character if they were going to use Pyramid Head. Hell, most people (not me) consider the In Water ending canon, so it could work.
14:55 eye of Horus?
A lame but maybe slightly plausible explanation for Robbie the Rabbit: Rabbits serve as a fertility symbol, which may be consistent with the themes of SH3. Heather's apprehension about (if not outright fear of) sex reflects itself here. She sees Robbie for the first time as a hyperbolically large figure smeared in blood, as if to match the exaggerated size and quality of Heather's own fears in contrast to the small, harmless nature that rabbits possess in actuality.
Or you know... A large penis covered in blood
Great Video! I was curious to hear your thoughts on the chapter as a whole. Did you like the Midwich design, and how they handled Pyramid Head and Cheryl?
For real note that hingarian script is VERY reminiscent of nordic runes. I'm glad it was a real language and not something dreamed up. It puts a bit more "real" into such a fantastic setting. That's what I think makes really good interactive experiences. The best lies always contain a grain of truth.
Stay healthy or get well Max, we care about you.
Do you know maybe where the devs might put a golden toolbox in silent hill map?
Do you know about the Konami code unlock in dbd?
Silent hill, i remember i was 15/ when silent hill 2 was released. It was my very first time playing the series and i had never been so invested in a horror story like that before. Not only did silent hill pull me into the game, i got lost in all its legends and backgrounds. Such an underrated game series. Yeah sure, it had its flops (i enjoyed every single game especially the rooms concept) but it still stands the test of time in my opinion. Still great games! I just beat homecoming this morning for the millionth time.
Thank you for posting these videos, Max. I appreciate every bit of the time and effort you put into each and every video. It's fascinating to hear and see things from your perspective. Such a brilliant mind. Your channel is grossly underrated, in my opinion.
I know this is way off topic I don't know if you even use Twitter anymore but I was just wondering if you like anime like Dr black jack I think you might like it it's similar to monster
Ok sorry but does anyone else think he sounds exactly like the Overwatch TH-camr Master Ian Gamer??? Great vid too btw ✨✨
Roby Rabbit an Alice and Wonderland reference? When did Frite night at Freddies come out come out?
Long, long after
2014
What about the two bodies on the inside that barricade Flauros?
Its just map design I think. In silent hill 1 you could actually see them all around in in the other world of midwhich elementary
How odd why wasn't TH-cam letting me find your Channel or anyting it's really weirdif it wasn't for a buddy of mine I probably would have never found your channel
So are you going to make a video on why pyramid head and Heather are in the realm of the Entity?
'Robbie the rabbit is sentinel in Silent Hill 3 and 4'
*YOU OBVIOUSLY DIDN'T PEEK THROUGH THE HOLE in 4 ENOUGH TIMES O_o*
For someone who is discussing so many times the human condition and the meaning of something in a horror game I cant believe you dont use the night theme for youtube ! =D
I still don't understand how Alyssa how's powers. Yes, it makes sense she would have it during the event of the game, but before the town was abandoned, it doesn't make sense. And in origins, it was the Florus (the Triangle thing if im wrong) was what split Alyssa's soul. What's the reason? 🤔
@Max Derrat u need to see "cube escape" game
timescodes never work for me idk why
When THIS is where we have to go to get a Silent Hill fix... F*** Konami.
Bro konami waa the one to introduce silent hill like silent hill origins and other titles so shut up
@@tonivoul1971 don't forget pachinko, where the rest of their games ended up being.
i know of a place worse than silent hill..... worse than otherworld looked liek it thugh but no pretty colors at all
everybody looks liek silent hill monster in here !!
"the cubes of otherworld" description: up, below and in all dirrections lay cubes, housing aproxamtly 500-1000 occupants per cube, spiratualy chained on the outside in a monstrous deformed, form. infact demon, SCP, human, angel, were INDISQUNIABLE in here, felt like very angry all-powerfull beaning very angry at all here, being licked by some worse fate than invisable "super lightning" , "super sayiens, and appolyon SCPS would cry like an unborn kitten!, in here, dished to a mere HUMAN, God [REDRACTED]!
"cotton candy machine" description: two souls, usaly of two races that hated eachother on earth, for no real good reason mostly, placed into what appears to be a head of waht apepars to be a large groutesque "Cotton candy machine" , exept blood and flesh, and unnseavered neves, mixing very painfully, with full pain the two induviduals untill the two are indisqunsable form eachother., afrter this some "rollers" condinue to mash the cotton candy of souls agaisnt the wall, casuing even more exxuciating pain.
machine ofton will repeat this process, in which more souls will be mixed togeather, eventualy what appears to be thousonds even millions of souls are stuck to the walls of the machine, being tormented by large rollers keeping them all in an indesinquable grotesque mass of flesh. tormenting voice ofton hered saying “you are all the same here, forever you wull be forced togeather becuase you forced yourselves apart on earth”
"singularity" description: a "persomal black hole" of sorts, punishment given to those that belived big bang instead of jesus christ body is partiualy deformed while black hole eternialy, while also quazaring, attempts to suck in the soul, only results in partial painfull descuctio, soul feels pain of being in black hole, without servring of the nerves, and a ghastly nueatron stars quazar at the same time! God [REDRACTED]!!!!!

Robbie the Rabbit in dead by daylight is animate, but the costume is just being worn by a gang of teenagers called the "Legion". It was gifted to them by the games god "The entity".
My God... we're so starved for SH, we're all ferociously devouring every piece of content that appears, even if it's just some fanservice in a shitty asymmetrical online game. Let that sink in
The gaming muse channels has many videos that go into detail of silent hill symbolism, if you guys ever want to check them out.
I agree as some of the symbols on the Halo of the Sun are deciphered in her research
Ok im commenting rn before I watch the video. Lets see if he mentions Jung.
God - "nooo my one weakness
Bullets"
Umm actually, Alessa wasn't trying to rejoin with Cheryl to kill herself. Cheryl joined Alessa the moment she entered Silent Hill. Cheryl was gone from the start. Alessa was trying to stop the birth of Samael by placing the seal of Metatron around the town but her mother tricked Harry into catching Alessa instead. I know you mentioned the seal of Metatron later in the video but the beginning is misleading to those who've never played Silent Hill. Also stop calling them her light and dark side. Alessa isn't dark. Cheryl is simply innocent having never experienced the same darkness Alessa experienced. Try not to use wiki for Silent Hill facts. The game tells you everything you need to know.
silent hill 2 prison level. when you fight a few prisoners in floating cage like boxes formed from their prison beds.
On top of the circle is the Eye of God/Creator and on the left side is a Scale weighing Two Great Souls and they are Equal. or Equal parts whatever is under the scale
Can we get timecodes for every time another video is recommended?
Some of the symbols look like they are based Cuneiform. The one the right I think is in the Sumerian text.
