Silent Hill II
-Enemies-
Lying Figure

Best Weapon: Any Melee Weapon
------------------------------------------------
Location: Silent Hill, Appartements, Hotal
------------------------------------------------
Worst Tactic: Leaving them on the ground, letting them crawl around.
This is the basic monster for Silent Hill 2. In all reality, there are two different variations of them. The first and most common are the Lying Figure. They populate the many areas of Silent Hill…except the prison and the labyrinth. Hit these with a melee weapon. The Straightjacket Figure is stronger and will not die…literally. These appear in the prison and the labyrinth. Go ahead…shot one to the ground using the hunting rifle, kick it, then leave the area, walking back in after a few moments. It is gone, and another one is not far off.
Straightjacket Figure

Best Weapon: None

Loction: Toluca Lake Prison, Labyrinth
------------------------------------------------
Worst Tactic: Trying to fight them
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This monster looks like plastic…it reflects light like plastic…and it is plastic. Yet, it bleeds. This monster is the body of a mannequin and has four legs that move and kick. They are annoying as hell since the like to hide and jump out at you when you lest expect it. A good way to combat this is to be in caution mode with a firearm. When James spots them, he’ll aim the gun in their direction. Make sure it is one of them before you shoot…as well as if you can hit it. Just be careful around them, okay. Mannequin

Locations: Silent Hill, Appartments, Hotal
------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nurse

Best Weapon: Steel Pipe (Shotgun for 2+)
------------------------------------------------
Locations: Alternate Silent Hill, Hospital
------------------------------------------------
Worst Tactic: Underestamating them from the previous Silent Hill game.
The same as the last Silent Hill game, only somewhat more…cute…so use the shotgun. Also, they will follow you outside of the hospital when you leave in the alternate Silent Hill, so be careful…these nurses will make house calls…to kill you. They tend to use pipes to fight you. So, don't always use the shotgun and try to return the favor.

More or less the same as the one form the original Silent Hill. A timely foot-stomp will kill them. Or, if you are in a bad mood, a couple of handgun shots will stop them. But, try not to waste any ammo on them, since every two handgun bullets will add up to be one dead Lying Figure. Cockroach

Best Weapon: Your Foot
------------------------------------------------
Locations: Everywhere
------------------------------------------------
Worst Tactic: Using your gun on them.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Closer

Best Weapon: Avoding Them, Handgun
------------------------------------------------
Locations: Hanging from Grates
------------------------------------------------
Worst Tactic: Standing over them to long.
After much observation, I have found out that the monsters that are under the grates in Silent Hill are the Closer monsters form Silent Hill 3. Click here to see more about a Closer. The only thing I can say that is not said in the SH3 page is to not stay above them very long...or you will die.

Just to prove that nothing is as it seems in Silent Hill, these sofas…chairs…whatever they are, are monsters. There are not many of them, but they hard to kill. Very hard to kill. They like to jump up and bite you in the head, then continue to chew on it for a moment or two. Since these things can kill you quickly, save the Medi-Kit and use the hunting rifle on it.

Best Weapon: Hunting Rifle
------------------------------------------------
Locations: Labyrinth, Hotal
------------------------------------------------
Worst Tactic: Using any melee weapon or any other weapons beides the Hunting Rifle will more or less screw you over.
