Get through the nightmare boss in no time.
The Silent Hill 2 remake has done a fantastic job of bringing our 2001 nightmares back to life with modern day graphics. Each road, ally and building of the misty nightmare town has been remade with stunning detail.
But to make that trophy hunt even scarier, just as much passion has gone into remaking the enemies.
Pyramid Head's first appearance is just as anxiety-inducing as it was over twenty years ago, and there's another boss that we'd rather skip too.
But fight Abstract Daddy we must.
And if you're struggling against him, we're here to help.
Let's take a look at how to defeat Abstract Daddy in the Silent Hill 2 remake.
As always, potential spoilers ahead. So proceed at your own risk!

As soon as you find Angela in the Labyrinth, the boss with Abstract Daddy will begin right after a cutscene.
There are three phases to this fight, and for all of them, we recommend keeping a safe distance from Abstract Daddy.
He'll frequently charge at you (at which point you should dodge, and get that distance back between you), and if he gets too close he'll grab you (something you definitely don't want).
Of course, getting close with the shotgun will do more damage. But that's a risk. It's best to keep a fair distance, fire a couple of shots, then run away. Make sure you hit his body and not the picture frame.
Between the phases, Abstract Daddy will disappear and you'll have to follow Angela through the corridors of the Labyrinth.
You'll find a TV each time, which you'll need to destroy to get the boss to spawn again.
