The Crimson Ceremony Book is a secret item found in the reading room on the second floor of the Otherworld Lakeview Hotel in Silent Hill 2 and is required for the "Rebirth" ending, in which James Sunderland revives his dead wife by performing a ritual. Unlike most other memos, the book is an actual item present in James Sunderland's inventory.
- Although unconfirmed, the narrator (the Crimson One) is theorized to be either God, Xuchilbara (the Red God), or Valtiel.
- The roots of the Crimson Ceremony lie in Mayan and Aztec rituals. At one time, the ritual of human sacrifice was quite prevalent.
