Defeat Alessa's 2nd Form in Silent Hill 3 using the Handgun and Katana. Learn her attacks and effective strategies.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Alessa will appear with a Handgun. She may spawn offscreen, so either wait for her or actively search for her.
  2. 2
    Use L2 to focus the camera and aid your search.
  3. 3
    Always stay on the move to avoid being shot from a distance.
  4. 4
    Use the horses as cover (a surface to hide behind) to safely attack her.
  5. 5
    Try to sneak behind Alessa for safer attacks.
  6. 6
    Stand just outside of her pistol whip range, but close enough that she attempts to shoot you.
  7. 7
    Hold R2 and attack; you will push Alessa back with each hit.
  8. 8
    Tap X repeatedly to perform quick three-blow combos.
  9. 9
    Repeat this process; Alessa should not have a chance to attack.
  10. 10
    Chase her when she runs away and continue attacking to finish her off.
  11. 11
    Alternatively, use the Shotgun if needed, firing after she initiates her swings or raises her handgun.
Tips
  • Be mindful of your health by checking your status often, especially if you are shot.
  • The Katana has decent range.
  • If you get too close to Alessa, she may pistol whip you.
