We also explain specific countermeasures for situations where you can’t take them down, so use this guide to assist you throughout your playthrough. ※For clarity, this guide applies unofficial labels to bosses whose official names have not been disclosed. These names are used solely for reference purposes. Boss List Araabare Priestess Tumor Woman Drum Ritual Overseer Husband and Wife Shiromuku Tsukumogami Shichibi When You Can't Beat a Boss Learn Their Attack Patterns If you take the time to understand a boss’s attack habits and patterns, you’ll drastically reduce the number of hits you take, making the fight far more manageable. Identifying which attacks can be countered with a Parry Counter is just as important. You don’t have to win while you’re still observing. It’s perfectly fine to lose—your goal is to study the movements and patterns so that your next attempt becomes the clear victory. It’s just like Monster Hunter. Adjust Your Equipment Reevaluating your Omamori setup to better match boss encounters is one of the most effective strategies. 【Whale】 and 【Cat】 can still be useful, but 【Spider】 and 【Wolf】 often become dead weight depending on the fight. Most boss battles occur in the Dark Shrine, an otherworldly stage. Weapons like the Naginata used here do not have durability, meaning the effects from 【Spider】 and 【Wolf】 won’t activate. Swapping to Omamori better suited for the encounter is highly recommended. Related Guide → Omamori List and Locations Strengthen Your Stats You can enhance Hinako at the ...

【SILENT HILL f】How to Take Down Husband and Wife

This guide explains efficient ways to take down Husband and Wife, key things to know, and its attack patterns. Use this guide to assist you throughout your playthrough. ※For clarity, this guide applies unofficial labels to bosses whose official names have not been disclosed. These names are used solely for reference purposes. Boss Strategy: Husband and Wife Since an Achievement is tied to this fight, make sure to take down the Father first. Once he goes down, the battle will end. Fight by Focusing on Counterattacks Against the father, your main source of damage should be Counter. Roughly 30% of his attacks can be countered, so the ideal strategy is to stay in front of him and provoke those moves. Make sure to maintain your Sanity as well. Attacking freely outside of counters is difficult, as the mother is constantly waiting for an opening to strike and will disrupt any attempts you make. Keep Both in Your Line of Sight One tactic that worked well for me was positioning so that the mother is hidden behind the father. By doing this, the father will block the knives she throws, and her melee attacks will hit him instead, causing her behavior to malfunction. Of course, this method isn’t flawless, so you should still pay attention to her movements in the back. The mother getting stuck behind the father Even if you can't keep her hidden, you can manage the fight as long as both are in your view. Still, there are moments where you’ll get hit ...

【SILENT HILL f】How to Take Down Ritual Overseer

This guide explains efficient ways to take down the Rinko-Like Entity (referred to as Ritual Overseer in this guide), key things to know, and its attack patterns. Use this guide to assist you throughout your playthrough. ※For clarity, this guide applies unofficial labels to bosses whose official names have not been disclosed. These names are used solely for reference purposes. Boss Strategy: Ritual Overseer In addition to a well-rounded moveset that mixes physical melee attacks and ranged assaults using magma, this boss goes as far as igniting summoned classmates and sending them charging toward Hinako—a downright nasty tactic. This description might make it sound overwhelmingly strong—and yes, it is powerful—but its actions and attacks feel relatively sluggish. Even without relying on Counter or Focus Attack, there are still opportunities to land hits. Start the Battle Already Awakened Just start hitting the boss. Due to the mechanics of the Beastly Arm, avoiding attacks whenever possible is ideal to conserve time. Attack Patterns ① Magma Eruption The boss crouches down, causing magma to erupt from the ground nearby. This often happens right after being staggered by your attacks. Create distance. Once you've dealt enough damage, it can erupt magma in a straight line toward Hinako, or trigger multiple random eruptions. Watch the ground carefully and dodge accordingly. ② Strikes with the Shide Wand The boss performs several consecutive swings using the wand in its hand. It has two patterns—two swings while approaching and three swings without moving—and both contain a Counter opportunity. Stay focused. ③ Magma Throw ...

【SILENT HILL f】How to Take Down Shichibi

This guide explains efficient ways to take down Shichibi, key things to know, and its attack patterns. Use this guide to assist you throughout your playthrough. ※For clarity, this guide applies unofficial labels to bosses whose official names have not been disclosed. These names are used solely for reference purposes. Boss Strategy: Shichibi We have confirmed that it appears after taking down the Shiromuku during the ending “The Fox Wets Its Tail”. It Summons Minions When Damaged During the battle, the Seven-Tailed Fox periodically drops its current form, becomes invincible, and enters a phase where it summons minions. Once you defeat the minions, the boss will become vulnerable again and you can resume dealing damage. There Is an Achievement You Can Unlock You can unlock an Achievement by taking down all the summoned minions. In most cases, this should be achievable without much trouble. Attack Patterns ① Scratch Attack There may be additional variations outside of the [Story] -Focused difficulty setting. I will update this section once they are confirmed. Since you cannot guard against this attack, make sure to evade it. ② Tail Stab This is a Perfect Dodge counter opportunity. Do not miss the visual cue that appears before the attack. ③ Damage Floor Deployment When the ground lights up, an attack will trigger shortly after, so move away from the affected area. ④ Minion Summoning Phase This phase begins once you continue dealing enough damage. Along with the summoned minions, damage floors will also appear, so be mindful of the ground while ...

【SILENT HILL f】How to Take Down Tsukumogami

This guide explains efficient ways to take down Tsukumogami, key things to know, and its attack patterns. Use this guide to assist you throughout your playthrough. ※For clarity, this guide applies unofficial labels to bosses whose official names have not been disclosed. These names are used solely for reference purposes. Boss Strategy: Tsukumogami It appears during the ending “Fox's Wedding”. Keep Attacking as Long as You Have Stamina and Openings Countering with a Perfect Dodge is certainly an effective option, but since this boss leaves many openings, you can safely continue attacking without always waiting for a counter opportunity. By this point, your Prayer upgrades should be progressing, and if you have already unlocked the maximum number of Amulet slots, you can create a build that allows for a more effective approach. Needless to say, you should still manage your stamina carefully and preserve some for evasion. After all, this is a boss battle—its attacks are undeniably powerful. Once you become familiar with its attacks, proactively use Perfect Dodges to conserve stamina whenever possible. There Is an Achievement You Can Unlock If you take down the boss without getting hit by its arrow-based ranged attacks during the mid-phase of the fight, you can unlock an Achievement. Details on the attack patterns will be explained later, but there are moments where Perfect Dodging becomes necessary. Equipping the Omamori 【Suzuran】will make performing Perfect Dodges easier, making this Achievement slightly more manageable and thus recommended. Attack Patterns ① Strikes with Its Weapon There are several variations of this ...

【SILENT HILL f】How to Take Down Drum

This guide explains efficient ways to take down Drum, key things to know, and its attack patterns. Use this guide to assist you throughout your playthrough. ※For clarity, this guide applies unofficial labels to bosses whose official names have not been disclosed. These names are used solely for reference purposes. Boss Strategy: Drum Where This Boss Appears: Main Hall Walkthrough Defeat the Minions First Take out the minions hanging from the ceiling before dealing with the Drum, and make sure to take down (and Soul Absorb) the minions first to secure a 1-on-1 fight. The chaotic brawls in this place are already tough, and the Drum’s special attacks that utilize nearby minions make things even worse. If you eliminate the minions, the Drum will lose most of its attack options and be forced into close-range combat, making the fight dramatically easier. Awakening Makes Minion Cleanup Stable Activating Awakening allows you to attack safely and quickly without the hassle of Soul Absorption. The ideal strategy varies depending on the Action Difficulty, but on [Story] it’s best to prioritize the Drum, while on [Hard] you should focus on the minions first and use remaining Awakening time to strike the boss. If you use Awakening early on, the fight ends surprisingly quickly. I saved it for later, but honestly, there was no real reason to hold onto it for the Drum. Attack Patterns ① Launches Minions with Threads When it beats the drum on its stomach, that’s the signal. It manipulates minions connected by thin threads and launches ...

【SILENT HILL f】How to Take Down Tumor Woman

This guide explains efficient ways to take down Tumor Woman, key things to know, and its attack patterns. Use this guide to assist you throughout your playthrough. ※For clarity, this guide applies unofficial labels to bosses whose official names have not been disclosed. These names are used solely for reference purposes. Boss Strategy: Tumor Woman Where This Boss Appears: Worship Hall Walkthrough Its movements are slow, and its attacks are not particularly overwhelming. However, things get troublesome once the small enemies spawned from its cocoons join the fight, so make sure to take down the cocoons before they hatch. After that, simply wait for openings and chip away with light naginata attacks to wear it down and win. Even on [Hard], this battle is surprisingly easy. The [Priestess] fight is actually tougher. Attack Patterns ① Vomit Spray Blood spurting from its face is the signal. You’ll get used to it quickly and be able to dodge it with ease. ② Double Charge It covers a fairly long distance in a straight line, so evade to the side. Occasionally, an effect appears indicating a counter opportunity—don’t miss it. ③ Minion Summon Once it produces a cocoon, destroying it becomes your top priority. The minions actually deal more damage than the Tumor Woman herself, and fighting a 1-vs-2 can get overwhelming fast. ④ Roar If you keep attacking recklessly, it will unleash a roar that deals area-of-effect damage. If you feel you’ve gotten too close, keeping some distance is a valid way to manage the risk. Boss ...

【SILENT HILL f】How to Take Down Priestess

This guide explains efficient ways to take down the Sakuko-Like Entity (referred to as Priestess in this guide), key things to know, and its attack patterns. Use this guide to assist you throughout your playthrough. ※For clarity, this guide applies unofficial labels to bosses whose official names have not been disclosed. These names are used solely for reference purposes. Boss Strategy: Priestess Where This Boss Appears: Corridors Walkthrough It is something that resembles Sakuko. Since it has no official name in the in-game UI, this guide refers to it as [Priestess]. Maintaining distance while landing counterattacks after successful dodges is the safest strategy. This enemy has a wide variety of attack patterns and each hit deals heavy damage, so attempting to brute-force your way through will require exceptional timing and reaction skills—especially on Hard difficulties. Why Priestess? (Tap to expand) Priestess refers to what is known in Japan as a Miko — a shrine maiden. The boss’s design is inspired by shrine maidens because Sakuko comes from a family connected to a Shinto shrine, making this visual motif intentional rather than random. In Japanese otaku culture, Miko characters are usually portrayed as cute, pure, or “moe” archetypes.However, in this game… things take a very different turn. (And it's horrifying.) Attack Patterns ① Club Throw When she raises the club in her left hand, that's your cue. She will throw it, so sidestep horizontally to avoid it. Moving straight backward is a bit risky. On [Hard] difficulty, an additional pattern occurs after the throw. ・Throw → ...

【SILENT HILL f】How to Take Down Araabare

This guide explains efficient ways to take down Araabare, key things to know, and its attack patterns. Use this guide to assist you throughout your playthrough. ※For clarity, this guide applies unofficial labels to bosses whose official names have not been disclosed. These names are used solely for reference purposes. Boss Strategy: Araabare Where This Boss Appears: Amida-Shirakawa Walkthrough You Don’t Need to Defeat It Yes, you can beat it — but there’s absolutely no reason to. It’s just a hassle. As Shu mentioned, entering the barn is essentially the end of the encounter. However, the key drops into the well, so you’ll need to pull it back up. Lure It Away and Crank the Well The entire area is shaped like a figure-eight. While slowly luring the boss toward one end, turn the crank on the well. It’s incredibly heavy — each crank takes around 7 seconds. Do this three times to obtain the key. Action: Hard After your first successful crank, a minion will appear. Take care of it while watching the boss’s movement; if you leave it alive, cranking becomes nearly impossible. Once you retrieve the key and enter the barn, immediately move the stacked items on the left. Ignore the two minions inside, climb out through the high window, and you’re done. Boss Strategy: Araabare (Rematch) Where This Boss Appears: Ebisugaoka - Second Visit Walkthrough You Can Take It Down When it reappears near Chizuruya General Store, you’re supposed to take the alternate route without fighting, but you can still take ...

【SILENT HILL f】How to Take Down Shiromuku

This guide explains efficient ways to take down Shiromuku, key things to know, and its attack patterns. Use this guide to assist you throughout your playthrough. ※For clarity, this guide applies unofficial labels to bosses whose official names have not been disclosed. These names are used solely for reference purposes. Boss Strategy: Shiromuku If You Can Manage Your Stamina, Go on the Offensive Counterattacks are a valid option, but this boss has noticeable openings, so you don’t always need to wait for a perfect dodge to strike back. However, make sure to conserve enough stamina for evasive actions—the boss’s attacks are powerful and often come in rapid chains. Once you’re familiar with its moves, take advantage of dodge counters to maintain your stamina while dealing damage. You Can Revive Multiple Times You can revive twice in this fight (excluding the Lost in the Fog action difficulty). After your first revival, you gain a buff that gradually restores HP over time. Upon your second revival, you additionally gain a durability-infinite Steel Pipe, no Sanity / Stamina consumption, and unlimited full recovery using a Red Capsule. At this point, it’s basically Super Hinako Time—dodge freely, Focus as much as you want, and unleash your Focus Attacks nonstop. Still, even Super Hinako can fall, so don’t get careless. This encounter is practically a guaranteed victory once revivals kick in, but taking down the boss without reviving unlocks an Achievement. If you’re aiming for 100% completion, give it a try. Attack Patterns ① Claw Attacks There are several variations ...
