How to unlock the Playing on the Edge achievement in Silent Hill 2 HD - Definitive Guide
(Missable) This trophy is misworded a bit. It's not that you can't save, you simply cannot interact with the red squares more than twice. Even if you don't save your game, the game records you interacting with the save point, so be careful when searching for items that may be near a save point. If you are not good about not taking damage this could be difficult. This is one of the requirements to earn Who Needs a Gun?.
When attempting to play for 10 Big Stars there are two highly recommended places to save. In the Alternate Hospital, before you go down to the basement and get chased by Pyramid Head; people save here because on Hard difficulty, Maria gets killed very easily and this can end your game.
The other best place is in The Labyrinth before the Eddy fight. It's good to save here as Eddy is the most dangerous enemy in the game and can easily push you over the 500 point damage cap. This is also right before the rowboat and so you can also re-attempt the boat if you cannot cross the lake fast enough.
