Finding himself underground inside the dilapidated Toluca Prison and having recently part ways with Eddie once again, Neosekken explores his new, mysterious surroundings for any way out. As he explored the prison he came across a couple documents that offered some additional exposition about Silent Hill, specifically some ghost stories that served to paint the already strange town in an even stranger, more eerie light. Neo soon opens up a pathway leading to the prison's basement using a makeshift handle made out of several items he found throughout the prison, and it is here that Neo finds another large hole leading God knows where further underground.
With nowhere else to go, Neo decides to keep foregoing common sense and survival instinct and makes James jump down this hole, only to find himself with yet ANOTHER hole to jump down after landing some unknown distance down. Neo jumps down this hole too, and after doing so he finds himself at an elevator that takes him even FURTHER underground.
Eventually, the elevator stops, and it is here that Neo then finds himself entering a mysterious underground labyrinth, one where he apparently needs to DRAW his own map in order to help himself navigate around. Now how Neo is finding himself going through a prison, then some underground tunnels, THEN an underground labyrinth the further he descends underground is a mystery to him, but whatever the reason for his arriving at all these different locations one thing is becoming clear to him: given how far underground he's gone by the time he's reached the underground labyrinth, Neo is certain that, short of some kind of miracle, Neo is going to have one hell of a time trying to get James back to the surface.
With this thought at the back of his mind, Neo begins exploring the labyrinth, and he soon finds Maria, who is somehow alive and seemingly unharmed, much to James' amazement. Asking Maria what happened to her after they were seperated, James is perplexed when Maria acts like the incident that lead to her seeming demise didn't even happen, at least not the way James and Neo clearly remember it. Maria changes the topic of the conversation to something completely different, however - something she should have no knowledge of: a video tape that James made of his and Mary's vacation to the town, and how he likely left it at the hotel where he and Mary stayed at. James, understandably, demands to know how Maria could know something like this, as well as who she actually is, but Maria keeps dodging his inquiries and asks him to come get her from the side of the room she's trapped in. James agrees to do this, asking her to stay where she is until he can reach her.
With the goal of getting to Maria in mind, Neo continues to guide James through the labyrinth, and along the way he encounters all kinds of monsters he's become quite familiar with, including the one & only Triangle Man. Along with these lovely hostile abominations, Neo eventually runs into yet another familiar face deep in the labyrinth...
