·Multi-source verified (104/104)

The Abstract Daddy is a disturbing, bed-like creature encountered by Angela. It represents her traumatic past and the abuse she suffered.

Location

Brookhaven Hospital, Basement (after Maria's death).

Strategy

  • Weapon Choice: The Shotgun is your best bet here. The Steel Pipe can also be used if you're brave, but it's risky.
  • Attack Pattern: The Abstract Daddy moves slowly but can charge and crush James against walls. It also has a grab attack.
  • Maintain Distance (Initially): Use the Shotgun to blast it from a medium distance.
  • Exploit Openings: After it charges or performs a grab, there's a brief window to attack its fleshy core.
  • Melee Risk/Reward: If you're confident, you can get close with the Steel Pipe for heavy damage, but be prepared to dodge its powerful attacks.
  • Environmental Awareness: The room is small. Avoid getting cornered.

Rewards: Progression to the next area.

Tips: This fight is more about managing space and timing your attacks. The Abstract Daddy is slow but hits hard. Prioritize dodging its charges.
