Silent Hill 2: How to Beat Abstract Daddy (Boss Guide)

As a seasoned survivor of the twisted town of Silent Hill and a die-hard fan of the original series, I must say that the remake of Silent Hill 2 has truly outdone itself with the revamped boss fight against Abstract Daddy. The build-up, the chase sequences, the final confrontation – it’s all been expertly crafted to give us a heart-pumping experience that feels fresh yet familiar.


As a gamer, I’ve got to say that taking on Abstract Daddy in the Silent Hill 2 Remake is a totally revamped experience. The Bloober Team really knocked it out of the park with the overhaul, ramping up the tension and making the encounter feel brand new for everyone who plays it. Unlike in the original game where it was just a locked-room showdown, the remade version kicks things up a notch with an extended chase sequence leading to the final face-off.

At the outset, players initially perceive Angela with a hint of her troubled psyche evident in her behavior. Her turbulent past has materialized into this apparition of her abusive father, which James is now obliged to confront. Therefore, I recommend having an ample supply of ammunition on hand, as it will likely prove essential.

Upon entering or venturing into the labyrinth zone, you’ll come across Abstract Daddy. Following a long hallway, you’ll overhear Angela begging her father from some hidden spot. At the end of this hallway, James steps into a room where Angela is lying on the ground. After a quick exchange of words, Abstract Daddy suddenly materializes and rushes towards James, cornering him against a wall.

Following a tough moment, the wall behind James collapses, revealing the beast causing the damage. This marks the start of the initial stage in the boss battle, a prolonged chase sequence. Keep in mind that this is a three-part boss fight, so grab ammo as you go and ensure your shots are accurate to prevent running out.

Surviving the Chase Sequence

In this action-packed stage of the battle, it’s crucial to understand how to stay alive. That way, you can advance to the ultimate showdown against the boss.

  1. As soon as you take control of James, run away from the Abstract Daddy through the hallways until James arrives in a large living space right next to a locked door.
  2. Now that you’re out of the narrow hallway and into an open space, start shooting handgun bullets at the monster.
  3. Once it tries to lunge at James for a grab, dodge at the right second and start blasting your shotgun at its back.
  4. The Abstract Daddy will shriek after a while, disorienting James for a second. However, perform a quick dodge after James recovers, as the monster might run towards James for another grab.
  5. Keep dodging its attacks and blast its back with a shotgun until everything turns dark and the monster retreats from the area.

This will mark the end of the first phase of the boss fight with Abstract Daddy.

Locate Abstract Daddy Again

After making it through the initial stage, players may assume they’ve vanquished the boss. Nevertheless, there are additional challenges ahead. Our objective now is to find the boss once more. Let’s analyze this phase as well.

  1. Now head towards the door that was locked before and start walking down the hallways.
  2. At one point, you’ll see Angela running to the left. Once you reach that point, don’t forget to pick up bullets from the table on the right.
  3. Keep following in the general direction of Angela until you see her going through a crack in the wall. Enter the little space and wait for the monster’s sounds to stop.
  4. Once the sounds stop, exit the area, and turn right. Go through the door and keep going through the hallways until James arrives in a room with a static TV playing a recording.
  5. Once players break the TV, Abstract Daddy will burst out of the wall. This portion of the fight is similar to the first phase. Simply dodge the monster’s attacks and shoot at its back.
  6. Keep repeating the process of dodging and shooting until Abstract Daddy disappears for the second time.

We’ve reached the conclusion of the second stage. From here, players must track the monster’s trail to prepare for a climactic encounter in a decisive battle.

With its return yet another time, James must locate and engage the boss one final time in combat. Here’s a guide on finding the boss once more, leading players towards their ultimate showdown with it.

  1. Go through the space between the steel bars, turn right, and then vault over the hurdle. You’ll see another hiding space ahead. Make note of it as you continue down the hallway.
  2. Abstract Daddy will burst through the wall, run back to the hiding space, and wait inside for it to lose track of you. Doing this is recommended to conserve ammunition.
  3. Now you’ll see another space to squeeze through the steel bars. Follow the path and go through the room with flesh walls and a fan at the end.
  4. At the end of the path, you’ll see another TV that you need to break to reveal a new path. Go down the path and squeeze through a few steel bars until reaching a room with another TV.
  5. Breaking the last TV will transform the whole level into a fleshy nightmare. Keep following the path until you come across a huge ventilation fan.
  6. Vaulting across it will get you into a large open arena where you’ll face the Abstract Daddy for the last time.
  7. Repeat the same strategy here. Try to dodge and maintain your distance from the boss, especially when its speed kicks into overdrive.
  8. Damaging the boss’ back is the best way to inflict the maximum amount of damage.

Following repeated attacks on Abstract Daddy, he collapses, defeated, causing a cutscene to unfold featuring Angela. In this scene, she discloses disturbing aspects of her past marked by abuse. This revelation provides insight into Angela’s unpredictable behavior, particularly around James. Post the battle, players can delve deeper into the Labyrinth section in Silent Hill 2 Remake.
