Enemies
Letter from Silent Heaven
There are a variety of enemy creatures in the game that have unique appearances, attacks, and behaviours. This section dives into all these details and offers fighting strategies to help you with each and every interaction. All creature names are official by Team Silent. |
Lying Figure |
![]() Appearance: A lustrous humanoid creature with its arms wrapped in its own flesh, as if wearing a straitjacket. Found in both the standing and prone stance (the latter from which its name is derived), and able to crawl at high speeds. Also may be known as "Patient Demons" or "Straitjackets". |
Strategy: The Handgun is the most efficient way to kill them, however dependent on how much ammo you have. Just fire away from a moderate distance and they'll drop in about three hits. Always quickly kick them or else they might scramble away and/or get back up. The Shotgun is overkill to be honest, but feel free to blast them if you have the ammo, or if you're surrounded by a few of them. |
Creeper |
![]() Appearance: A very large cockroach with six extremities. About the size of a shoe and recognized with a tone of yellow. |
Strategy: |
Mannequin |
![]() Appearance: Essentially the bottom portion of two fashion dummies sewn together at the midsection. Thus a mannequin with four legs, no chest, neck, or head, although its top "legs" behave like arms (with no feet or hands at their ends). Mannequins stand completely frozen until activated by a nearby presence. |
Strategy: Since they don't have much defense, the Wooden Plank works fairly well, while the Steel Pipe will replaces it as the de facto melee choice once acquired. Simply whack them before they can attack and stomp them to death. Otherwise, the Handgun is a very efficient manner to deal with them, requiring about three shots before a kick on Normal. The Shotgun works as overkill, knocking them down in one shot if you can spare the ammo, but the Handgun should suffice every time, unless going for quick kills. |
Bubble Head Nurse |
![]() Appearance: A nurse in uniform with a very short and suggestive miniskirt as well as a low-cut top with tasty cleavage, however with a demon's "bubble" head covering its own. For some, the face just isn't enough to overcome the attractive features of this creature. All nurses carry pipes similar to James' Steel Pipe. |
Strategy: |
Mandarin |
![]() Appearance: A creature with very thick, padded arms with lips at their ends. Wears robes similar to Pyramid Head and hangs from beneath wire or mesh floors. Also known as "Underhangers". |
Strategy: |
Abstract Daddy |
![]() Appearance: A large, bulky creature that appears to be merged with a bed frame, complete with two feet and two arms underneath and the body and head above. This creature is highly suggests the image of rape, with one person on top of another on a bed frame. |
Strategy: |
Red Pyramid Thing |
![]() Appearance: A shocking creature wearing a red pyramid helmet over its head. Wears a messy butcher's apron, white gloves, black boots, and wield a large, great knife (later a spear). Often referred to as "Pyramid Head" by James. |
Strategy: |

There's nothing new about the creatures in Maria's sub scenario, however we're dealing with a different environment and a new arsenal. Fighting strategies and recommended weapons in this new quest can be found within. |
