Mumbler
Location: You'll come across them frequently during your journey through Silent Hill.
Attack Method: Patrolling usually in threes, they attack as a group and can make escape tricky.
Weakness: They're slow to move and easy to avoid.
Best Tactics: Run through them as quickly as possible, and when you've got your back to the wall, turn back and shoot them with the shotgun.
Air Screamer
Location: Outdoors throughout normal Silent Hill.
Attack Method: They're mobile, fast and difficult to shake off.
Weakness: Their speed means it's hard for them to change direction quickly.
Best Tactics: Listen out for the telltale sound of their wings and cries… Groaner
Location: Outdoors throughout normal Silent Hill.
Attack Method: These enemies are fast and nimble and attack in packs.
Weakness: Their attack is really predictable. Avoid them by moving sideward when they lunge.
Best Tactics: Try and keep your distance and you should be able to out-run them. If you must attack, stop them with the handgun.
Stalker
Location: Alternate School.
Attack Method: Impervious to any damage.
Weakness: None.
Best Tactics: No one has survived to tell me… Night Flutter
Location: Outdoors throughout the Alternate Silent Hill.
Attack Method: Similar to the Air Screamers, but they're faster and more powerful.
Weakness: Like the Screamers, they have difficulty changing direction in mid-flight.
Best Tactics: Switch off your flashlight and you should lose them.
Wormhead
Location: Outdoors throughout the Alternate Silent Hill.
Attack Method: Same as the Groaners, but they're faster and stronger.
Weakness: Also the same as the Groaners.
Best Tactics: Use the shotgun to dispatch of them if you can't run away.
Puppet Nurse
Location: Alternate Hospital.
Attack Method: There are two different strengths of nurses - blue and green - so pay attention to who you're fighting, as some are harder to defeat than others. They usually attack in groups of two or three too, and have a tendency to rush at you if you're not prepared.
Weakness: They're slow and kind of predictable.
Best Tactics: Use the shotgun from as close as range as you dare. Once floored, finish them with a carefully-placed kick or the handgun.
Puppet Doctor
Location: Alternate Hospital.
Attack Method: They're much faster and can inflict more damage than their female counterpart.
Weakness: There are only a few of them throughout the hospital, and they're usually alone.
Best Tactics: Shoot at them from a distance with the handgun. As they get closer - or you manage to floor one of them - finish it off with the shotgun at close range.
Romper
Location: Outdoors in Alternate Silent Hill.
Attack Method: They're fast, deadly and very difficult to kill.
Weakness: None that I can think of.
Best Tactics: Run. They tend to work with the Flutters and Screamers and it's easy to get surrounded by them. If you must attack, use your Rifle, and if you get caught… just hope you have teammates to help you. Blood Sucker
Location: Alternate Hospital Room 204 2F / Nowhere in Cabinet.
Attack Method: Should they get their suckers on you, it's instant death.
Weakness: None known of.
Best Tactics: Use the blood pack to distract the Hospital one. Use the ring of contract on the cabinet for the nowhere one.
Hanged Scratcher
Location: The Sewers.
Attack Method: They have a tendency to ambush you and often attack in groups.
Weakness: They're quite noisy creatures, so you should know if one is about. They're not particularly fast either.
Best Tactics: Don't bother using the Handgun - it barely scratches them. Stop them dead with your shotgun or - if you have enough ammo - the Rifle. Claw Finger
Location: You'll find these in the sewers of Silent Hill.
Attack Method: Like the zombie children, they will grab you and cut deep with their claws.
Weakness: They're slow to move and very easy to avoid.
Best Tactics: Run through them as quickly as possible, and when you've got your back to the wall, turn back and shoot them with the shotgun.
Larval Stalker
Location: Nowhere Basement.
Attack Method: Being ghost-like they are had to see in the dark basement of Nowhere.
Weakness: They're not particularly fast moving and easy to avoid once detected.
Best Tactics: Run past them as fast as you possibly can and turn back to shoot them with the shotgun.
Lizard
Location: After the turnstiles in the Alternate School.
Attack Method: The lizard has two main attack methods - firstly, it'll try and knock you off balance with its head. Then, once injured, it'll get aggressive and start moving with more speed in an attempt to devour you.
Weakness: It's head.
Best Tactics: Firstly, run around the room and wait for the lizard to start coming towards you. Shoot it several times in the head before running off and repeating the technique again. When it begins to open its mouth to devour you, fire off some shots into the lizard's mouth. If you have room behind you, avoid being eaten by walking backwards, making sure to keep your finger on that trigger.
Larva
Location: Shopping Mall, Alternate Silent Hill.
Attack Method: Disappearing underground, the Larva Boss will re-emerge close to you and omit poisonous cloud into your face.
Weakness: Again, shoot at this Boss' head to finish it off.
Best Tactics: Move onto the metal grating in the room - this will stop the Larva surfacing close enough to hit you. As soon as you hear its telltale rumble, move to the side - you'll be out of harm's way, but close enough to inflict some damage with your firearm. Don't forget to aim for the head - anywhere else is just a waste of valuable ammunition.
Moth
Location: Opposite Alchemilla Hospital, climb the metallic staircase to the roof.
Attack Method: This Boss has two dangerous attack methods; first it'll spray a deadly cloud of venom in your face, then it'll fly into you, giving you a hefty whack and knocking you off balance.
Weakness: It's not particularly fast and reasonable easy to avoid.
Best Tactics: This depends upon your supplies. If you have loads of ammo and health drinks to spare, just stand there and fire off shots as quickly and as accurately as you can and you'll soon finish it off. If ammo supplies are low, keep moving until the Moth has let off its poison cloud. Turn immediately, fire off a couple of shots, and then get moving again - only this time in the other direction. Although this is more time-consuming, it will save your supplies. Demon Person
Attack Method: whatever weapon they have
Weakness: slow, unstable and takes a while to reload their weapon.
Best Tactics: Shoot at them with one of your stronger firearms from a distance, When they stop to reload, run forward and empty as many bullets into them as possible. If you wish to conclude the battle without killing them use the unknown liquid, wait until the person stops to reload before approaching them.
Winged Demon
Attack Method: With two main attack methods, this Demon can finish you off quickly. It'll either fire at you with a strong energy blast or shoot several lightening strikes your way.
Weakness: The attack methods are predictable, and the Demon stays routed to the same spot, which makes it easier for you to avoid its blasts.
Best Tactics: Don't even try to use a melee weapon. Lying Creature
Location: You'll come across them very often during your journey throughout Silent Hill.
Attack Method: Whilst in their upright position they are not an immediate threat, although if you let one get too close to you it will launch its deadly mist attack. When they are crawling, usually hiding under cars and vans, they can move extremely quickly. Again they do not pose much of a threat like this, but if you let them get too close they will inflict damage.
Weakness: Due to their sluggish walking speed and slow attacks they are open to any method of attack.
Best Tactics: Either use the handgun at a safe distance to bring them down or beat them with the plank or pipe from behind.
Mannequin
Location: You'll come across these frequently during your journey throughout Silent Hill.
Attack Method: The Mannequins have only one basic attack, where it lunges its upper legs at you. Be careful though - they do attack more rapidly than the Lying Creatures. They also tend to leap - without warning - from rooftops and bushes, so be on your guard.
Weakness: Since their range is limited and they are not a quick moving foe, they are also open to many attacks.
Best Tactics: The best way to defeat them is to either use the handgun at a safe distance or beat them to the ground with the wooden plank/steel pipe, Bubble Head Nurse
Location: Brookhaven Hospital, Alternate Brookhaven Hospital & Alternate Silent Hill.
Attack Method: The Bubble Head Nurse is rather quick on her feet, and her attack range is very long, not to mention lightning fast. They tend to travel in groups of two or three, which can pose as a threat in enclosed spaces.
Weakness: The nurses don't have any direct weaknesses, but they do have a slow turn around speed, so this is the ideal time to launch an attack.
Best Tactics: Always keep your backs covered when confronting them. If you enter a room to find two or more, move into a corner so that the only direction the attacks can come from is in front of you. The steel pipe is a good weapon to use against them due to its extended range, but the handgun and shotgun are probably better as they can be used from a safe distance.
Cockroach
Location: Silent Hill, Woodside Apartments, Blue Creek Apartments & Historical Society, Alternate School, Hospital and the Sewers.
Attack Method: No true strengths are held by the tiny foes, but their speed is their main advantage.
Weakness: They do like to attack anyone within their vicinity, but upon doing so they pause for a couple of seconds. This is when your attack is best made.
Best Tactics: Try not to waste rounds of ammo. If you can just simply avoid these enemies as they will eventually retreat. But if you feel it necessary to defeat them, a few well aimed shots with your handgun should do the trick. Mandarin
Attack Method: They attack from beneath grilles with deadly tongue like spikes that protrude from the ends of their arms.
Weakness: Because they are hanging from the grilles, they have nowhere to hide.
Best Tactics: The best tactic is to just not waste much needed ammo and simply run past them. They are very easily avoided so long as you don’t stay stood above them for too long.
Flesh Lips
Attack Method: Ganging up against you, these monsters will follow set routes around the ceiling in order to grab and choke you.
Weakness: Again, their slowness can be used to your advantage.
Best Tactics: Your shotgun is the recommended weapon for this. Keeping your distance, run into one corner of the room, turn, and pump two or three rounds into the nearest enemy before turning and running into the next corner. When you've dispatched both Enemies, don't be surprised when a third one drops from the ceiling. Finished it off in the same way.
Abstract Daddy
Attack Method: While the monster is slow, the attacks aren't - get too close and it will pounce on you and, apparently, try to devour your head.
Weakness: It's slow to move and quite predictable.
Best Tactics: Use your Shotgun here - while the Rifle may do more damage, it's much slower to fire and only holds four rounds.
Eddie Dombrowski
Attack Method: Eddie's sanity has departed and all he's left with is a Magnum firearm - this is not a good combination. Use any firearm and he'll have no hesitation in shooting you right back - which can be tricky to avoid in such a confined space.
Weakness: Get close to Eddie and it seems he'd rather pummel you with his fists than use that oh-so-powerful handgun. In this particular instance,
Best Tactics: Equip your Steel Pipe before entering the room. When the sequence finishes, Instead of shooting at you, Eddie will run forward to punch you instead - and being the big loony that he is, he'll run straight to you.
Pyramid Head
Location: Lobby, Alternate Lakeview Hotel, Brookhaven Hospital Basement, and Stairwell after using the Apartment Stairway Key, 2nd Floor, Blue Creek Apartments.
Attack Method: As if one of them isn't bad enough, Armed with spears or swords, they'll stalk the room and try to trap you in a corner. Pyramid Head has two main attack methods, with his Great Knife and without. The weak side-to-side swings from the knife won't cause too much damage, but beware of the overhead blow - it's fatal and will finish you off in one shot.
Weakness: slow, predictable and - providing you're careful - not too hard to avoid.
Best Tactics: Arm your Rifle or the Great Knife for this battle - they're the weapons to which the PHs are most susceptible, but once again don't forget that these monstrosities cannot be killed. It's also useful to know that there's no need to balance your hits between the two of them - since they both seem to run off the same life-force, it doesn't matter which one you hit or how often. If you continuously move around the room in one direction, you'll notice that they separate in order to try and trap you and block your way. Be smart and keep varying your direction in order to avoid entrapment. Demon person (advanced) Attack Method: Using a variety of methods, they will do all they can to stab and/or strangle you to death using their deadly tentacles.
Weakness: if There's a lot of space on that platform, it's easy to avoid direct attacks.
Best Tactics: Although she's particularly susceptible to close-range weapons like the Pipe and Great Knife it's best to keep your distance as their stabbing and strangulation techniques are difficult to avoid. Fire once or twice using the Rifle, and then run away into the next corner. Although the moths are irritating, they don't inflict too much damage and are certainly less harmful than the tentacles dangling from the cage.If all that sounds like much too much hard work for you, you might like to know that you can defeat this creature without firing a single shot...
