How to beat the pyramid boss fight in Silent Hill 2 Remake

This battle is found behind the door with a carved “S” that leads to the Blue Creek Apartments courtyard. The fight with Pyramid Head isn’t really a fight, as you don’t need to do any damage to the boss to win. This is a timed boss battle, meaning all you have to do is survive for a certain amount of time to complete it.

You will need to survive for around 3 minutes, although you can shorten this time by dealing damage to Pyramid Head, although we suggest just staying away and conserving your ammo. The arena is full of metal cages and other debris that you can use to keep your distance from the boss. The monster has several different attacks that include a huge overhead slam and horizontal swings, both of which can deal massive damage that will kill you almost instantly with a single hit.

The boss also has a quick thrusting move that is harder to dodge compared to the slower but hard-hitting sword attacks. There are also some combo attacks you should watch out for. As the fight progresses, Pyramid Head will start moving faster and will destroy some of the debris to stop you from using it to keep them away. Your best approach to this fight is to stay away, but if you get close to the boss, utilize your dodge and quickly put distance between the two of you.

After the allotted time, the iconic siren synonymous with the series will begin to sound. Once this happens, Pyramid Head will head towards the heavy metal doors. A cutscene will begin where the boss will break down the doors and exit the area, giving you a path out of the boss arena and the Blue Creek Apartments.
