Silent Hill f features a bizarre yet fascinating story of Shimizu Hinako. With each chapter, the narrative grows increasingly strange and, of course, more complicated. The first eleven chapters are pretty long and take the most time of your playthrough. The last two aren’t as lengthy compared to the previous ones, but they aren’t easy either.
Completing the ritual with the Fox Mask, Hinako will return to Ebisugaoka town, but it is now corrupted to the core. It features a lot of monsters and traveling, so in my walkthrough, I will guide you on how to complete Silent Hill f, Chapter 12, Corrupted Ebisugaoka, with ease.

Chase After The Fog Monster

Once the cutscene is over, your first objective will be to chase after the Fog Monster. However, right in front of you are some enemies, so defeat them first. After defeating them, continue down the path to the right, and ahead will be some more enemies.
After defeating them, you can get a Ramune from the east side along with a Kitchen Knife. I recommend replacing it with a weapon that is in bad condition, as a Kitchen Knife is a pretty good option. Continue heading down the path, and you will be ambushed by a Glowing Monster.

This enemy is fast and can catch up to you pretty quickly, so it is better to defeat it here. It also moves around too much, so heavy attacks may be useless here. Instead, wait for it to do an attack you can counter. In my opinion, that is the best way to defeat this enemy. Also, there is a big opening to attack when its glow fades.
After defeating this enemy, continue down the path, and you will come across a few enemies.
Defeat The Monsters To Unlock The Path

The path you want to follow is blocked, and to unlock it, you would need to defeat the Birthing Monster. Before starting the fight, grab the Red Capsule and a Bandage from the right side. Then, defeat the smaller enemies first.
Once you have defeated them, shift your entire focus to the Birthing Monster. Be aggressive and make sure to perform a counter whenever possible. Do not let its cocoon hatch, and be sure to avoid getting near the blue ones as they explode.

Once you have defeated this abomination, the path ahead will unlock, so start following it. Just ahead will be a shrine and an enemy near it. Defeat the monster, save your progress, and grab the axe right next to it.
Keep Moving Ahead

Continue ahead, and now there will be too many enemies on the way. It isn’t worth fighting them all, as that would be just a waste of resources. Keep running (there will be a baseball bat on the left side outside a house), and eventually you will come near the Fog Monster, but it will vanish instantly. Ahead is another Birthing Monster, and the path is blocked.

You will have to defeat it in order to unlock the path. Do so and then continue following the path (there is a red capsule inside the blue truck). Take a right from the blue truck to pick up a bandage, a Crowbar, and an Ema. Then, interact with the shrine to upgrade any of the necessary attributes using the Ema you just received.

Then, go back, take a right, and grab a Kitchen Knife on the way from the left. There is also a Yokan on the right side just ahead. Then, next to the board, will be a box containing an Antique Comb. Continue following the path ahead, and you will come close to the Fog Monster yet again.

However, it will disappear again, and you will be left with fighting another Birthing Monster. Make sure to attack the cocoons first and then fight the other enemies. Then, defeat the Glowing Monster and the Kashimashi. Once done, defeat the Birthing Monster to unlock the path.

If any of your weapons break, there is a crowbar right next to the well. You can also find a toolkit and red capsules right to the well. Then follow the path west to the well, and a cutscene will commence.
Proceed To The Worship Hall

Once the cutscene ends, Hinako will find herself back in the Dark Shrine, where Fox Mask is waiting for you. Head straight, and another cutscene will start. Hinako and Fox Mask will perform another ritual to turn Hinako into a completely different being.
Hinako has now turned into Shiromuku and returns to the corrupted Fog Town. The old Hinako fades away from existence while the new one, Shiromuku, takes over and transforms back into the Fox version.
Return To The Shimizu Residence

Once the cutscene is over, your objective will update, and now you will have to return to the Shimizu Residence. Keep following the path ahead, and you will come across Hinako’s doll. Upon interacting with it, a message will appear: “Don’t go that way.”
After that, you will be ambushed by some enemies, but now you shouldn’t have any problem dealing with them. Upon defeating the enemy, the doll will vanish, so follow the pathway to the left.

Keep going ahead and make sure to pick up items on the way (also, destroy the cocoons you encounter). Eventually, you will come across the doll again. Upon interacting, it will provide a different message, and more enemies will appear. Defeat them, and the doll will vanish again.

Keep going up the mountain, and you will notice the Drum Monster just ahead. Defeat it using the Bestial Form and then go up the stairs on your left (there will be an Antique Comb to the right on the way). Go around the house, pray to the shrine if needed, and then keep following the path.

On the way, you will encounter the doll again. Interact with it, and another wave of enemies will appear. This wave is going to be a big one, so make sure to be extra careful. It will end with the Drum Monster, so use your Bestial Form to defeat it. There will be a few items around the area, so make sure to collect them.

Then, continue making your way up the mountain, and you will reach Shimizu Residence. Then, a cutscene will commence (what a twist, what a story). With that, Silent Hill f, Chapter 12, Corrupted Ebisugaoka, concludes.
