How To Get the Black Bird and Sword Plate in Silent Hill F
You won’t get these items in Silent Hill F right away. First, you need to reach Chapter 10 and enter Shimizu Residence III. The plate sits behind a locked door, and to open it, you need the Fletching Key.
Start by going to Hinako’s childhood room in the northeastern corner. On a blood-stained shelf, you will find her diary hiding a Block of Wax. Then head to the kitchen on the western side of the map and grab the Propane Tube on the table.

Next, go back to Shimizu Residence I’s kitchen in the southwest section. Connect the propane tube to the stove and melt the Block of Wax. Inside, you will find the Fletching Key.
With the key in hand, return to the door marked with a bird in Shimizu Residence III. Unlock it, and a short cutscene with Hinako’s parents will play. After that, the Black Bird and Sword Plate will be sitting on the table, ready for you to pick up.
