To survive the horrors of the Ebisugaoka, Character Upgrade Items, known as Ema plates, are essential in Silent Hill f. These collectible wooden plaques are the key to permanently boosting Hinako's core stats.
In total, there are 22 Ema plates hidden across Silent Hill f's locations. While dedicated players will want to find them all, collecting just 18 Ema is enough to unlock the Close to the Sun achievement/trophy (for fully upgrading Health, Stamina, and Sanity).
To activate a character upgrade, take an Ema plate to any Hokora shrine. Select the Pray option to use the Ema and permanently increase your Health, Stamina, Sanity, or Omamori Slots.
Upgrading also requires Faith, a currency earned by using the Enshrine option to offer items at the shrine. Be aware that the Faith cost for each subsequent upgrade will increase.
Every Ema is in a fixed location, making them easy to track using our dedicated SHf maps and guides.
Note: The following list doesn't include the Ema plates you can find and collect in NG+ and NG++. For those, please check our NG+ Ema locations guide.
