Best boss in Silent Hill 2

The Silent Hill 2 remake changed a lot about this legendary game. All the bosses are still the same, but the boss battles have been changed significantly to make them much more enjoyable and scary and challenging at the same time. .

In this article, we'll rank all seven boss fights in the Silent Hill 2 Remake based on how enjoyable they are. We'll also consider several factors, such as how different these battles are from the original game, how difficult they are to complete, and how scary they are.

7 pyramid head

good warm up fight

Pyramid Head is one of the frequently encountered bosses in Silent Hill 2, but it is in the overworld of Blue Creeks Apartment that you must fight this intense battle. The main concept of this fight is very simple, dodge attacks while counterattacking by hitting them on the body or helmet.

This is a decent warm-up fight, but it's the easiest in the game and not challenging at all. Especially since the goal is not to defeat the scary creatures, but to survive. All you have to do to defeat this boss is run around it in circles.

6 mandarin

Exclusive Boss Battle

Like Pyramid Head, you'll encounter the Mandarin throughout the game. There is also a mini-boss fight you will encounter in the Lakeview Hotel though, which can be a bit difficult. The Mandarin may be one of the scariest creatures in gaming, and the fact that he can crawl across ceilings and burst through walls makes him even scarier.

Although scary, this is also one of the easiest fights in the game. This is because there are only a few attacks and both can be easily dodged. However, the fact that this boss fight wasn't available in the original game and is only available in the remake makes it a cool and fun addition to the game.

5 double pyramid head

a much more difficult encounter

The final encounter with the Pyramid Heads takes place in Otherworld at the Lakeview Hotel, and will be a much tougher fight since you'll have to deal with both of them at the same time. These creatures are also much more aggressive and faster, which can make them more difficult to deal with.

Using weapons like hunting rifles and learning how to dodge their attacks effectively is the best way to survive against these monsters while dealing enough damage to slowly take them down.

4 Flesh Lip

Completely Remade Battles

Another one of the scariest creatures you'll encounter in Silent Hill 2 is the Flesh Lip, a boss fight that's changed quite a bit from the original. Most of this combat is based around shooting the attacking Flesh Lip's hands from the ceiling and dealing as much damage as possible while on the ground.

The second phase of this fight is even more terrifying as Flesh Lip changes his form into a spider-like creature, making it even more terrifying to deal with. This boss fight is a perfect example of a good remake. This is because it greatly improves on the original game's Flesh Lip fight while retaining the same bosses.

3 abstract dad

A claustrophobic encounter

The Abstract Daddy fight is also a huge improvement over the original. Not only does this fight take place in one of the scariest parts of the map, but Abstract Daddy feels even scarier thanks to the game's improved graphics and his variety of moves.

The fact that this fight is so long and takes place over several stages is also what makes this fight so good, as you are constantly trying to escape from this boss and counterattack for a very long time. The map's narrow corridors, along with Abstract Daddy's sudden and surprising attacks, make Abstract Daddy one of the scariest creatures in the Silent Hill series.

2 merry

Perfect final boss fight

Another fight that takes place over several stages is the fight with Mary, which you will encounter near the end of the game. The fight is as emotional as it is scary, as James battles a monstrous version of his late wife. Gameplay-wise, this fight feels like a much tougher version of the Flesh Lip fight. The first phase consists of dodging attacks and counterattacking when possible, while the second phase sees Mary transform into a spider-like creature.

Mary is one of the fastest bosses in the game, and can easily catch you off guard if you're not prepared. Her abilities like leap and strike can also be very effective for dealing damage from a distance. This fight is an amazing way to end the game, and the fact that you don't have to worry about conserving ammo and can just spam all your bullets at her is a lot of fun.

1 Eddie

The creepiest encounter in gaming

Although not the final boss fight, the Eddie Dombrowski fight is by far the most unique and interesting fight in the game. Unlike most boss fights where you run away from enemies, the first phase of this fight involves chasing Eddie and attempting to shoot him. Eddie's constant commentary and how easily he can disappear makes this a very creepy moment in the game and makes Eddie seem like a very scary enemy despite being the only human antagonist.

The second phase of this fight is much more fun as the room fills with fog and conveyor belts light up, making it even more difficult to spot Eddie. He is also very strong. His pistol whip or bullets can kill you quite easily, so it's important to spot him before he spots you. This combination of difficulty and the terrifying nature of this fight makes it our favorite boss fight in the game so far.
