Location

Lakeview Hotel, Flooded Room.

Strategy

  • Weapon Choice: The Rifle is highly recommended if you have ammo. Otherwise, the Shotgun is your next best option.
  • Initial Phase: The two Pyramid Heads will initially stand still, not attacking. This is your chance to deal significant damage.
  • Attack: Fire at both Pyramid Heads. They share a health pool, or at least, their demise is linked.
  • Aggressive Phase: After taking enough damage, they will become aggressive, raising their Great Knives and attempting to attack James.
  • Evasion: Their attacks are slow but powerful. Dodge their swings and keep moving to avoid getting cornered in the water.
  • Final Blow: Continue to attack. After enough damage, both Pyramid Heads will simultaneously impale themselves with their Great Knives, ending the fight.

Rewards: Progression to the final boss.

Tips: This fight is more symbolic than challenging. The Pyramid Heads' self-inflicted deaths represent James's acceptance of his guilt and the end of his self-punishment. Use your most powerful weapons to end it quickly.
