Mumbler
Location: You’ll come across them frequently during your journey through Silent Hill.
Attack Method: Patrolling usually in threes, they attack as a group and can make escape tricky.
Weakness: They’re slow to move and easy to avoid.
Best Tactics: Run through them as quickly as possible, and when you’ve got your back to the wall, turn back and shoot them with the shotgun.
Air Screamer
Location: Outdoors throughout normal Silent Hill.
Attack Method: They’re mobile, fast and difficult to shake off
Weakness: Their speed means it’s hard for them to change direction quickly.
Best Tactics: Listen out for the telltale sound of their wings and cries. When one tries to attack, quickly change direction, side-step or stop completely. The Screamer will miss you.
Groaner
Location: Outdoors throughout normal Silent Hill.
Attack Method: These enemies are fast and nimble and attack in packs.
Weakness: Their attack is really predictable. Avoid them by moving sideward when they lunge.
Best Tactics: Try and keep your distance and you should be able to out-run them. If you must attack, use the handgun.
Stalker
Location: Alternate School.
Attack Method: Impervious to any damage.
Weakness: None.
Best Tactics: As they don’t attack you, don’t try to attack back. Think twice before hitting X if your radio goes off when you enter a room. The Stalkers are very good at making you waste unnecessary ammo.
Night Flutter
Location: Outdoors throughout the Alternate Silent Hill.
Attack Method: Similar to the Air Screamers, but they’re faster and more powerful.
Weakness: Like the Screamers, they have difficulty changing direction in mid-flight.
Best Tactics: Switch off your flashlight and you should lose them.
Wormhead
Location: Outdoors throughout the Alternate Silent Hill.
Attack Method: Same as the Groaners, but they’re faster and stronger.
Weakness: Also the same as the Groaners.
Best Tactics: Use the shotgun to dispatch of them if you can’t run away.
Puppet Nurse
Location: Alternate Hospital.
Attack Method: There are two different strengths of nurses – blue and green – so pay attention to who you’re fighting, as some are harder to defeat than others. They usually attack in groups of two or three too, and have a tendency to rush at you if you’re not prepared.
Weakness:They’re slow and kind of predictable.
Best Tactics: Use the shotgun from as close a range as you dare. Once floored, finish them with a carefully-placed kick or the handgun.
Puppet Doctor
Location: Alternate Hospital
Attack Method: They’re much faster and can inflict more damage than their female counterpart.
Weakness: There are only a few of them throughout the hospital, and they’re usually alone.
Best Tactics: Shoot at them from a distance with the handgun. As they get closer – or you manage to floor one of them – finish it off with the shotgun at close range.
Cockroach
Location: Alternate School, Hospital and the Sewers.
Attack Method: They’re quick and attack in groups.
Weakness: They don’t inflict much damage and are easily evaded.
Best Tactics: Listen out for their screeching. If you have to fight, use the handgun and move around as you shoot to avoid attack.
Romper
Location: Outdoors in Alternate Silent Hill.
Attack Method: They’re fast, deadly and very difficult to kill.
Weakness: None that we can think of.
Best Tactics: Run. They tend to work with the Flutters and Screamers and it’s easy to get surrounded by them. If you must attack, use your Rifle, and if you get caught, hit X quickly in succession to escape.
Blood Sucker
Location: Alternate Hospital Room 204 2F / Nowhere in Cabinet.
Attack Method: Should they get their suckers on you, it’s instant death.
Weakness: None known of.
Best Tactics: Use the bloodpack to distract the Hospital one. Use the ring of contract on the cabinet for the nowhere one.
Hanged Scratcher
Location: The Sewers
Attack Method: They have a tendency to ambush you and often attack in groups.
Weakness: They’re quite noisy creatures, so you should know if one is about. They’re not particularly fast either.
Best Tactics: Don’t bother using the Handgun – it barely scratches them. Stop them dead with your shotgun or – if you have enough ammo – the Rifle.
Claw Finger
Location: You’ll find these in the sewers of Silent Hill.
Attack Method: Like the zombie children, they will grab you and cut deep with their claws.
Weakness: They’re slow to move and very easy to avoid.
Best Tactics: Run through them as quickly as possible, and when you’ve got your back to the wall, turn back and shoot them with the shotgun.
Larval Stalker
Location: Nowhere Basement
Attack Method: Being ghost-like they are hard to see in the dark basement of Nowhere.
Weakness: They’re not particularly fast moving and easy to avoid once detected.
Best Tactics: Run past them as fast as you possibly can and turn back to shoot them with the shotgun.
