How to beat Abstract Daddy in Silent Hill 2
The Abstract Daddy fight begins when you find Angela in the Labyrinth. Once you arrive in the Labyrinth, walking through the corridors to Angela, making sure to search every nook and cranny for resources, you will need them.
When you reach the room Angela is in, a cutscene will play and the Abstract Dad will appear. You’re thrown straight into this fight, so here’s what to do.
Phase one
When you first encounter Abstract Daddy, the best thing to do is turn around and run. Not because we want to avoid it but because the next room is a little bigger, giving us more room to maneuver.
Once in the larger room (technically adjacent rooms), search for resources – I found the shotgun shells and the health drink on a side table with a lamp. The monster will be right behind you, so act quickly.
Summary Dad has two main movements: he lunges at you to catch you Or costs at your expense. To prevent it from being able to rush and grab you, try to keep a safe distance from the creature as much as possible, but if it charges you or gets too close, dodge.
To damage Abstract Daddy, hit the fleshy, human part of the monster. Pulling on the frame part won’t do anything. I found the best way to do this was to let the creature lunge at me, then dodge aside to give me a clear idea of its fleshy parts. It’s a little trickier with the Steel Pipe, so I suggest using a ranged weapon, like the Rifle or Shotgun, if you have enough ammo.
Repeat this until the monster disappears.
Phase two
Make your way through the corridors of the Labyrinth and collect any resources you come across. At the end of a corridor, you will see Angela runs left. Follow her.
Angela will lead you to a hiding place in a closet, which will come in handy later. Take a look inside the hiding place, then exit by turning right and going through the door. This takes you to a room with shotgun and handgun ammo. Continue until you reach a room with a television. Melee or shoot the TV to destroy itand our friend returns.
These corridors are quite narrow, making it difficult to get around the creature. So instead of fighting him now, sneak through the gap in the wall and continue down the hallway, jumping over the window sill on the right side.
We are back at the hideout. Facing Angela’s place, go down the corridor to the right until Papa escapes from a lower wall. Again, there’s not enough room here, so turn around and jump into Angela’s hideout to wait for him to leave.
Once Abstract Daddy is gone, go down the hallway he came out of again, then sneak through the gap in the wall at the end. Take the door on your right, then jump through the gap on your left to enter a room with a large fan.
Turn left and follow the hallway until you reach another gap to cross. There’s another TV here, so destroy it.
The path you came from is destroyed, so go the other way, jump a gap, and follow the hallway until you reach a gap to cross on your right. Once through the gap, go left and follow the corridors until you reach a third television. Destroy it.
Facing the TV, go down the corridor on the left and follow the path (collecting the Rifle Bullet and the Health Drink placed on the pipes to your right). Finally, you’ll reach a large fan with a pipe to jump over. Jump the pipe to start phase three.
Phase three
The real fight has now begun. Summary Dad bursts into the room – and this time we don’t want to avoid him.
The method for defeating the creature is exactly the same as in the first phase: let him lunge at you, dodge to the side and attack the fleshy part of him. The rifle makes short work of this monster and don’t let its destructive roar worry you – it’s not a difficult fight.
Keep going and eventually Abstract Daddy will fall, allowing Angela to get her own achievements.
Good luck defeating Abstract Daddy!
