Otherworld Hotel is the eleventh and last area in Silent Hill 2 Remake, which you will get to after leaving the regular hotel. This is a location completely devoid of puzzles and containing only a few normal enemies, who pose no threat. On this page of the guide we have described how to get through the burnt hotel ruins, how to defeat the Pyramid Heads and the final boss.

How to get through the burnt hotel?

The path forward is very linear and you will not encounter any threats along the way. Leave room 312 and go to room 314, where you will reach another corridor. On the way, search the drawers and collect resources. Go to room 302, where you will find a cart. Move it to the middle of the corridor - the floor will collapse beneath the cart. Jump down to the floor below through the hole.

Save your game in the reading room and enter the cloakroom by going to the other side of the floor through the lobby and the nurses' lounge. Enter the elevator and go to the basement.

In the basement, go through the bar, kitchen and liquor storage until you reach the staircase. Here you will meet Angela for the last time.

After the cut-scene, go up the stairs to the employee section. Reach the TV room, where you will find the red door. Go through it to leave the map. At the end of the corridor, you will reach the last save point in the game - as many as nine save points at once. The game clearly lets you know here to save your progress. Heal up fully, reload your weapon and go to the next room. There you will have the penultimate battle - a fight with James' recently doubled sense of guilt.

How to defeat Pyramid Heads?

You will be facing two Pyramid Heads at once. They share a health bar, so it doesn't matter who you shoot at.

Try to keep both enemies directly in front of you at all times. They mainly attack with spear thrusts and occasional swings. Keep moving backwards, circling the arena, keeping an eye on both Pyramid Heads. When they attack, dodge to the side and counterattack - preferably with a shotgun or rifle by shooting at their exposed legs or back.

Pyramid Heads' attacks are very predictable, so watch them closely. If you get too far, they may throw a spear at you.

There isn't much to say about this fight - retreat, keep both enemies in front of you, dodge when they prepare to attack, and shoot them in the legs or back. After a few minutes of fighting, Pyramid Heads will kill themselves, ending the battle.

How to get to the hotel's attic?

Take two eggs from the hands of the killed Pyramid Heads and put them in two pairs of doors in the arena. After putting both eggs in, leave the room through any door. It's almost time for the final test - you need to get to the hotel attic. You will pass through a very long corridor during which you will hear an argument that James once had with Mary. This is the last moment in the game that affects your ending - listen to the entire argument or leave the hallway early.

Collect the scattered ammunition on the external staircase and climb up. You will reach a ladder - before climbing it, reload your weapons and heal yourself. Enter the rainy attic, where you will see a familiar face. The final battle will begin.

How to defeat the final boss?

The last boss of Silent Hill 2 Remake is Her - depending on the ending, a transformation of Maria or Mary. The fight is divided into three phases.

In the first phase Her levitates near the ceiling, trapped in the bed frame. It has three attacks - summoning dark clouds (the clouds turn red just before they attack you), straight stab (the boss leans back) and two horizontal slashes (the boss leans to the side). Pay attention to the boss and dodge as much as you can, and try to keep an eye out for the moth clouds after they're summoned. The rifle works best here, but if you have little ammunition, you can use the handgun - the first phase is quite simple.

In the second phase, you will be transported to a ring-shaped corridor. There is some ammunition and supplies lying against the walls. The boss now fights very similarly to the Flesh Lip. Her moves along the ceiling, occasionally dropping down and attacking. Look out for sparks on the ceiling that mark where the boss currently is, and stay close enough, but not too close to get hit. Use the shotgun here - the arena is tight, so this weapon will work perfectly.

In phase three, the bed frame will transform into sharp metal legs. The boss is now running towards you, striking with blades, occasionally transforming into a cloud of darkness and trying to get behind you. It also summons the clouds from the first phase again. Don't feel safe being far away - the boss has a very dangerous charge attack, so always be ready to dodge. Use your rifle here - this is the last fight, so you can use up all the ammo you have left.

When you defeat the boss, the bed frame will collapse, and Her will become defenseless. Approach her and deal the final blow with any weapon to end the fight and finish the game. All that's left for you is to enjoy - or not - the ending you got.
