Every Silent Hill title has been known for having a sort of joke or ufo ending and Book of Memories is no exception. With these exclusive pointers, you can find yourself relaxing at Toluca Lake in no time.
To reach the hidden sixth ending in Book of Memories, you’ll need to first hunt down three particular artifacts through the many zones. The first two may come naturally as you explore but the third may need some extra dedication and hunting.
The first artifact you’re likely to come across is a mission reward from completing Valtiel’s extra mission in Zone 15 (Earth Zone). This mission requires you to guide a small shiba inu named Mira through to the end of the level. As long as you don’t wait around too long while enemies are attacking her, you shouldn’t have much trouble at all. Guiding her successfully to the end of the stage will reward you with the first artifact, ‘Dog Tag’.
Next up on the treasure hunt is available in Howard’s Shop once you reach the Light Zone (and subsequent levels afterwards). For a mere 5,000 MR, the ‘White Feather’ can be yours. This artifact is particularly suspicious as the description states: A pristine white feather with no obvious purpose. Pretty suspicious…
Lastly is an item that, if you’re lucky, can show up as early as zone 25 or as late as zone 100. Hidden randomly in levels are a number of treasure rooms. One of these has a possibility of being a room with a jar bearing a single artifact. Out of the 50 possible artifacts, the one you’re looking for is ‘Channeling Stone’. Fans of the original Silent Hill may recognize this as the item needed to achieve the UFO Ending. Sadly, there are no aliens this time around.
With all three artifacts in hand (and properly equipped!), it’s time to go to work. Head on down to Zone 21, skipping straight to the guardian from chapter select if you feel so inclined. Challenge the guardian one last time (Hint: He’s weak to the Steel Sword) and should you prove victorious, pick up the extra blade and note left behind. If you followed these steps, the note should change to this one.

Thanks for this Joke Ending Guide, very useful! :D
What I would like to ask is: How to get the other 5 endings? Do you have to start a whole new game (different character and all of those kind of things…) to achieve a different ending than the one you got the first time? Can you just go through the game and then return to defeat the Steel Guardian and achieve it? Or can you go through the random levels until you find another chance to fight the Steel Boss, and then you’ll get another ending? How does this works?
Also, WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO DO TO GET THEM?!?! Do you have to get certain blood/light/neutral notes? Does your karma level counts for it? what exactly counts for it and how can you see it?
Thanks!! :D

The endings are pretty much determined by the color of notes you have in your inventory. You don’t have to start a new game as a new character. There’s a nice system implemented that lets you jump to any zone you’ve already been to (or directly to a boss fight). Any time that you defeat the steel guardian (either at zone 21 or randomly in the later zones), you’ll be given an ending.
It’s my understanding that MOST of the notes are based off of the enemies that you kill. Your karma meter is a nice indication of what path you’re going towards, but you don’t have to stockpile that energy when you could be using it towards healing yourself/doing extra damage.
