Learn how to defeat Walter Sullivan in Silent Hill 4: The Room. This guide covers the final boss fight strategy, including using spears, weapons, and saving Eileen.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Jump down the hole in the red room to enter the final arena.
  2. 2
    Run up to the large head and use the Umbilical Cord to unlock the spears.
  3. 3
    Grab each SPEAR OF THE HOLY MOTHER from one side and stab all four into the huge figure.
  4. 4
    Repeat the process for the other side's Spears while avoiding Walter. This will cause him to fall to the ground and become vulnerable.
  5. 5
    Ready a charged attack from behind Walter and unleash it once he stands up.
  6. 6
    With the Rusty Axe: Unleash constant charged attacks. Step back after each hit to avoid Walter's bodyslam. If he steps back, move forward while charging your next attack.
  7. 7
    With the Spade: Perform charged attacks and move up when he steps back to land the next charge. If you can back him to an edge, stand just outside his pipe range and repeat attacks to prevent him from shooting.
  8. 8
    If you are too close, Walter will perform a body spin; stay a few feet away to avoid this. Step back immediately after landing a charged attack with the Rusty Axe.
  9. 9
    Repeat either strategy. If Eileen is not completely compromised, you should be able to save her.
  10. 10
    Once Walter falls to the ground, the game is over. A few more seconds will pass where Eileen is still at risk.
Tips
  • Saving Eileen is crucial for the best endings. Limit her damage in the field, only leave her when necessary, and never leave her in rooms with enemies. This ensures she walks slower in the final battle, making her easier to save.
  • To achieve the 'Escape' ending, save Eileen and clear 80% or more of the hauntings in Room 302.
  • For the 'Mother' ending, save Eileen but do not clear 80% or more of the hauntings.
  • If Eileen dies, you will get the 'Eileen's Death' ending (if hauntings are cleared) or the '21 Sacraments' ending (if hauntings are not cleared).
  • Avoid picking up the Shabby Doll on console versions to prevent one specific haunting.
