Lying Creature Location: You
will come across these creatures very often during
your journey through Silent Hill.
Strengths: While there in their
upright position they are not an immediate
threat, although if you let one get to close to you
it will launch it's deadly mist at you. When they
are crawling, they are usually hiding under cars and
vans, they can also move extremely quick when they
are crawling. They don't look like they could be to
much of a threat when they are crawling, but let one
get to close and they will inflict damage.
Weaknesses: Due to their sluggish
walking speed and slow attacks, you can take the out
with whatever you want.
Best tactics: Either use the
handgun from a safe distance, or beat them down with
the wooden plank, and when they fall to the ground
you can finish them off with James's stomp/kick
attack.
Mannequin
Location: You'll come across these
frequently during your journey through Silent Hill.
Strengths:
The Mannequins have only one basic attack, where it
lunges it's 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.
Weaknesses: 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, to be finished off with James'
death stomp.
Faceless Nurse
Location:
Brookhaven Hospital, Alternate Brookhaven Hospital &
Alternate Silent Hill.
Strengths:
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.
Weaknesses:
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 back covered when
confronting them. If you enter a room to find two or
more, move James 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 it's extended range, but the handgun and
shotgun are probably better as they can be used from
a safe distance. Again, when you have brought them
down, have James use his stomp to finish them.
Cockroach
Location:
Silent Hill, Woodside Apartments, Blue Creek
Apartments & Historical Society.
Strengths:
No true strengths are held by the tiny foes, but
their speed is their main advantage.
Weaknesses:
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. Or, timed correctly,
James can simply tread on them once to kill them.
Mandarin
Location: Alternate Silent Hill,
Labyrinth & Alternate Lakeview Hotel.
Strengths: They attack from beneath
grilles with deadly tongue like spikes that protrude
from the ends of their arms.
Weaknesses: 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.
Abstract Daddy
Location:
Labyrinth & Lakeview Hotel.
Strengths:
Abstract Daddy can move at good speed and if you do
not plan your attack well they can easily overcome
you very quickly. They lunge themselves toward you
and attack by locking its jaws on you head.
Weaknesses:
This foe also has no immediate weaknesses, but can
be easily defeated if done correctly.
Best
tactics: The safest thing to do is to not
use any melee weapons, but to use your shotgun. Keep
at a safe distance and make sure you have room to
maneuver backwards whilst James locks and loads the
next shotgun cartridge. They will go down after a
few shots.
