Silent Hill 2 Remake – How To Beat Abstract Daddy

by

As a seasoned gamer who’s seen his fair share of psychological horror games, I can confidently say that Silent Hill 2 Remake’s Abstract Daddy is one of the most emotionally charged boss battles I’ve ever encountered. The fight is not just about reflexes and resource management, but also about understanding Angela Orosco’s deep-seated trauma.

In the varied cast of monsters found in Silent Hill 2 Remake, Daddy stands out as a particularly unsettling character. His appearance is tied to Angela Orosco’s harrowing past events.

In my perspective as an ardent follower of Angela’s tale, the pivotal interaction I’m referring to offers a deeper insight into her character following their confrontation. This piece guides you on defeating the enigmatic villain known as Abstract Daddy.

Content Warning: Abstract Daddy represents themes of sexual trauma, which may be distressing or triggering for some readers.

Abstract Daddy is one of the more emotionally charged bosses you’ll face in Silent Hill 2 Remake.

In my perspective, my own tale weaves heavily around the heart-wrenching motif of emotional turmoil. I bear the painful reminders of the trauma I endured at the hands of my father, and there are subtle suggestions that my brother might have played a role as well in my tragic past.

The overpowering aura of the monster symbolizes not just the actual mistreatment, but also the heavy burden of emotions that Angela still bears.

In that memorable moment when she speaks, “‘It’s always like this for me,’“, it resonates strongly with the way the remake portrays her inner turmoil visually.

The fight reflects the psychological weight of the story. To take down Abstract Daddy, you must be equipped for a demanding, multi-phase fight that tests both your reflexes and your resource management.

Once you make your way into the maze, a scene unfolds that introduces Abstract Dad. Immediately upon this introduction, your initial task is to sprint.

The chase starts in a slim passageway as you evade capture. Over time, this route opens up into a bigger chamber with a spacious area, where the primary confrontation takes place for the first time.

Maintain some space for safety when around Abstract Dad; his moves are patterned in a way that he rushes towards you with the intention of either grabbing or pinning you.

In this situation, evading to one side is crucial when he charges towards you. Once you’ve successfully dodged, take advantage of the moment to shoot at the more vulnerable, exposed areas of his body. It’s essential to aim for these fleshy, weak spots to inflict significant harm.

In this stage, weapons that fire multiple projectiles, such as a shotgun or rifle, are most effective. However, be mindful of saving your bullets for future challenges. Keep a sharp eye out and try to steer clear of being cornered, since his grab attack can be hazardous.

Once you’ve inflicted sufficient harm, Abstract Daddy will momentarily withdraw, but let it be known that the battle is only intensifying. The scene now shifts to an exhilarating pursuit.

Navigating the winding corridors of the Labyrinth, you’ll come across chambers containing televisions emitting a static hum. Break these screens using your close combat weapon.

Since this action doesn’t require any ammunition, save your bullets for when they might be needed later on. After every TV is demolished, Abstract Daddy will reemerge to pursue you. The Labyrinth is narrow and twisty, making it challenging to confront Abstract Daddy directly during this stage due to its intricate layout.

Rather than engaging in combat with him, I’d recommend making use of openings in the walls or jumping over window ledges to evade Abstract Daddy. Occasionally, you might find yourself back close to where Angela is concealed. Take advantage of these situations to momentarily evade Abstract Daddy by hiding until he’s no longer in sight.

While navigating the maze, don’t forget to gather any bullet ammo or health packs you come across, as they will prove essential during the climactic phase.

In the concluding phase, you’ll face Off Abstraction in a throbbing, flesh-like landscape – it’s here where the decisive fight takes place. This final locale is shrouded in darkness compared to the earlier ones, making it trickier to spot Off Abstraction as he darts in and out of the shadows.

Daddy maintains his traditional methods of charging and grasping, yet introduces a swift dashing technique to cover ground faster when approaching you.

Try to maintain a close proximity to him while avoiding his attacks, taking aim at his vulnerable areas when an opportunity arises. In case your ammunition depletes, you can evade his lunges, step aside, and use a physical attack as a last resort until you’re replenished.

This is riskier but can be effective if done correctly. After inflicting enough damage, Abstract Daddy will let out a scream that temporarily throws you off balance.

Take advantage of this moment to regroup and strategize for the upcoming offensive. As you chip away at his vital points, keep targeting those weak areas and evade his charges effectively.

After your defeat, a scene will play out that provides resolution to Angela’s sad tale within this part of the game.
