Here’s how to take down the nightmare that is Flesh Lip in Silent Hill 2.
One aspect of Slitterhead that doesn’t come into play until a bit later on in your playthrough is RE (2nd Loop) missions, having you revisit previous missions with new knowledge, allowing you to get out in front of the Slitterheads that got the best of you or someone else.
Starting Missing Girl RE (2nd Loop) In Slitterhead
Now that you have access to Alex, you will be able to choose him as either your Primary or Companion Rarity in some missions, allowing you to switch to him during combat or exploration. If you liked his playstyle in the previous mission, then, by all means, make him your starting Rarity.
If it wasn’t apparent by now, the RE (2nd Loop) version of Missing Girl is essentially the same mission as the initial version, but you now have direct knowledge of where Anita will be, allowing you to race over to where she met her demise in an attempt to save her.
Follow Anita’s Trail
Since you know where Anita ends up, you won’t have to do all the Crane shenanigans from the original mission, allowing you to begin following her trail instantly. So, as soon as you load in, chase after her trail all the way to the dead end just like before and use possession to get over the various carts and boxes blocking your way.
From here, you will continue following her trail to the empty lot where she was murdered last time by the Slitterhead. Fortunately, this time, she’s still alive, allowing you to possess her after a brief cutscene, making her your second additional Rarity in the game.
Much like Alex, Anita will have a tutorial, forcing you to use her various Skills to get the hang of them. You can use Devil’s Scent to summon a crowd of civilians and then use Mind Hack to sic them all on the Slitterhead, dealing a surprising amount of damage. She also has access to Poison Needles that can inflict her target with Poison, dealing gradual damage over time.
Defeat Blacktip Mantidfly Slitterhead
After finishing Anita’s tutorial, you will have to defeat the Blacktip Mantidfly Slitterhead once more, this time with Anita. While there won’t be any civilians present off the bat, you can use her Devil’s Scent Skill to summon them into play, allowing you to switch to them if things get hairy.
Additionally, the civilians will also have access to her Poison Needles, enabling you to inflict Poison on the Slitterhead, having its health gradually drain out. After chipping away at its health, the Slitterhead will flee from the area.
Chase The Blacktip Mantidfly Slitterhead
Begin chasing after the Blacktop Mantidfly Slitterhead until it stops in a small market area in the back alleys and begins fighting you again. Like before, use Devil’s Scent to summon a group of civilians and use them to land heavy attacks and toss Poison Needles at the Slitterhead.
Dropping the Slitterhead’s health down slightly past halfway will have it flee once more, scaling the sides of the building this time, planting itself on a rooftop.
Continue Chasing The Blacktip Mantidfly Slitterhead
With the Slitterhead chilling on the rooftop above you, you must find a way on top of it yourself. To do this, use Blood Jump to reach the signs above you. Then Blood Jump once more to reach a yellow neon sign directly across from the building where the Slitterhead is.
Whenever you’re on this neon sign, look across to where the Slitterhead is to see a civilian standing on the rooftop. Possess this civilian to reach the rooftop and begin fighting the Blacktip Mantidfly Slitterhead.
Defeat The Blacktip Mantidfly Slitterhead
While Anita or Julee won’t be here at first, that shouldn’t matter too much, as your strategy during the previous two encounters applies here, allowing you to swiftly finish off the Blacktip Mantidfly Slitterhead before your Rarities even spawn in.
Use your Poison Needles to inflict the Slitterhead with the Poison Status Effect, then begin pummeling it with your Blood Weapons, periodically switching to another civilian if your health gets dangerously low. Parrying will also keep you in the fight longer, allowing you to activate Blood Time to deal substantial damage.
The Blacktip Mantidfly Slitterhead doesn’t do anything different here, so whatever you did that got you this far, repeat that once more to have it defeated for good!
Missing Girl RE (2nd Loop) Rewards
Not only do you get Anita as a Rarity for completing Missing Girl RE (2nd Loop) for the first time, but you also get 18 Skill Tokens, which is a tremendous amount. But please note that these are shared between all of your Rarities, so it’s time to start being selective on how you spend them.
And, as always, we will remind you to listen to all ‘Talk’ conversations after clearing this mission to unlock more missions and receive hints for future Rarities!
