Where to Find the Axe in Silent Hill Townfall
Updated 2026-10-06 · Category: Weapons
The Axe only appears in New Game Plus, which is why a first run never finds it. On NG+, the first one is in Chapter 1, in the brick shed past the For Sale gate, on the table by the gnome. A second is in the backyard shed before Mr. Stewart's house in Chapter 5. Picking it up awards the silver trophy Here's Simon!. The Axe kills in one hit and, unlike other melee weapons, never wears out.

Weapons do not carry over between runs, so each New Game Plus run starts without the Axe and you pick it up again from the same shed.

Silent Hill Townfall Wiki · AI-generated original illustration · Material statementWhat the Axe changes in a fight
Every other melee weapon in Townfall breaks with use, and blocking only works while you hold one. The Axe removes both problems: it kills in one hit and does not wear out, so it is a permanent answer to anything that blocks the route.
That makes it the natural partner for Fleeting Visit, the under-four-hours trophy, and for the Creative Process melee kills on a second run.
Remember what the game counts
Each enemy Simon kills costs 2 points of the hidden score that decides between Justice, Forever and Abandoned. A one-hit weapon makes it easy to kill everything, which is exactly what pushes a run towards Abandoned. Use it to clear the way, not to clear the map, if you want Justice.
The other NG+ weapon
The Pistol-3000 is the ranged equivalent: infinite ammunition and one-shot kills. It appears in the same Chapter 1 brick shed, but only after you have finished the Sci-fi ending.
