How to defeat Abstract Daddy in the Silent Hill 2 remake

Once you find Angela in the Labyrinth, the boss with Abstract Daddy will start right after a cutscene.

This fight has three phases, and for all of them, we recommend keeping a safe distance from Abstract Daddy.

He will frequently attack you (at which point you should dodge and regain the distance between you), and if he gets too close he will grab you (something you definitely don’t want).

Of course, getting close with the shotgun will do more damage. But this is a risk. It’s best to keep a reasonable distance, fire a few shots, and then run away. Make sure you hit his body and not the photo frame.

Between levels, Abstract Daddy will disappear and you will have to follow Angela through the corridors of the Maze.

You will find a TV each time, which you will need to destroy for the boss to appear again.
