Silent Hill 2 HD

This boss damages (inflicts) a lot of damage. On Easy and Novice it will take about 2 shots. On NORMAL about 6, and on HARD 9. Here's how I killed him on HARD:

Here's a map of where to stand

(Attention! The 2nd point on the right is not towards the edge! This means that you should not stand towards the edge, but almost towards it!).

Now the algorithm of actions:

1. We go to the point on the left and from there we shoot 2 times at the monster with a shotgun.

2. Then we quickly go to the point on the right and stand not at the very edge! fire 2 shots.

3. And here is the most false thing: we run to the previous point near Angela. If you are not standing close to the edge, then the monster will not grab you.

4. We get up and fire 2 shots.

5. Go to the menu and reload the shotgun there.

6. Again we run to the top point and fire the last 3 shots. Nominal 3. You can stand at the very edge.

The monster is defeated, and you are great. And if they acted according to my tactics, then they did not receive any damage from him.

For the Hard difficulty level, in addition to tactics with a shotgun, there is a simpler, faster and, importantly, relatively safe tactic using the Great Knife.

So, once in the Labyrinth location, first of all we go to the lair of Pyramid Head and pick up the Great Knife there (many ignore it, but in vain).

Before the fight with the Abstract Father, equip any weapon except the Great Knife, skip the screensavers and while the screen is still dark, use the stick to move back to the nearest corner, then quickly turn to face the enemy (this is important), open the menu and equip the Great Knife, close menu and while it closes (dark screen) press and hold + . At the same time, James is guaranteed to be able to carry out two strong attacks with the Great Knife; immediately after the second attack, we begin to hammer Start, thereby getting into the menu and selecting a shotgun. We close the menu and again, while it is closing (dark screen), we use the stick so that James moves to the corner that is nearby, and then we safely run to the opposite part of the room and fire two final shots from the shotgun, that’s all. The boss is dead, we saved a minute and if we positioned James correctly at the very beginning of the battle, we avoided damage.

The tactics are easy to learn, the main thing is to start the battle correctly.

All of the above can be seen clearly on YouTube. Enter the following into the search: Silent Hill 2, hard, abstract daddy, great knife.
