How to Get the Dog Ending in Silent Hill Townfall
Updated 2026-11-06 · Category: Endings
The Dog ending needs New Game Plus. Find three coins and drop each one in a dog charity bank. The Bronze coin is on a back-room shelf in Video Star (Chapter 1). The Silver coin is in a backyard shed in Clara Woods (Chapter 9). The Gold coin is on the console in room 793 at SWDP (Chapter 15). With all three deposited, the Dog ending plays after the final boss and awards the silver trophy Let's Talk This Out.

Dog is one of the five endings in Silent Hill: Townfall, alongside the others in the table below. Reaching it awards the silver trophy Let's Talk This Out.
It is one of the two joke endings, and both need New Game Plus: the items that trigger them only appear on a second run. Neither depends on your score.
The Dog ending continues one of the series' oldest joke-ending traditions, and the trophy name leans into it.
All three coins and banks
Room 793 opens from the SWDP control-room panel with UNLOCK + DOOR + 793, one of the optional door codes after Valve B.
The SWDP control-room panel and its door codes
| Coin | Chapter | Where the coin is | Where the bank is |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bronze | 1 · Cold Open | Video Star (1), back-room shelf, Shorefront District – South | Guide Dogs bank on Main Street, just before the Pharmacy |
| Silver | 9–10 · Clara Woods | Backyard shed, at the right turn up the hill | Laundromat behind the Post Service; cut the gate with the Bolt Cutters in Chapter 10 |
| Gold | 15 · Trying Again | Console in room 793, SWDP – Different | End of the red-lit hallway at the four-way junction |
How to get the Dog ending
- Finish the game once and start New Game Plus from the main menu.
- Drop each coin in its bank as soon as you can reach it. The Bronze and Gold banks are in the same area as their coins; the Silver bank opens once you have the Bolt Cutters in Chapter 10. You cannot go back to earlier areas.
- Beat the final boss with all three coins deposited. The Dog ending replaces the main ending.
The Sci-fi ending skips the final boss, so a run that triggers it never reaches the point where Dog plays. If you are collecting items for both on one run, keep a manual save from before the Chapter 15 keypad.
How this ending fits the full set
The trophy grades match the split: three gold trophies for the main endings, two silver for the joke pair. Nothing about the main-ending score affects Dog or Sci-fi, so you can chase a joke ending on any score.
All five endings and the full scoring rules
Which ending counts as the good one?
| Ending | Trophy | Grade | How you get it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Justice | For St. Amelia | Gold | Score 20 or more |
| Forever | Here To Stay | Gold | Score 0 to 19 |
| Abandoned | Just Making Things Worse | Gold | Score below 0 |
| Dog | Let's Talk This Out | Silver | New Game Plus: three coins in three dog charity banks |
| Sci-fi | Sci-fi-lent Hill | Silver | New Game Plus: three books, an access card and a keypad |
No ending is the canon ending
Producer Motoi Okamoto has said the team does not designate any single ending as the true canon ending. There is no "real" version of the story to chase.
That changes how to approach Dog: it is a legitimate outcome of a particular run, not a better or worse result than the others.
What this means for a completionist
All five endings are required for the platinum, alongside New Game Plus, every collectible set and a run finished in under four hours.
With manual saves you need only two full runs: the main endings can be collected by reloading late saves, and both joke endings can be set up on the same New Game Plus run, although Sci-fi skips the final boss, so the Dog ending needs a reload or another finish.
Nothing forces a harder difficulty on you: the 37-trophy list contains no difficulty-related trophies, so ending runs can be played on Story Mode.
