Silent Hill 2 Hints
Duck Tape Demons
1 of 3: Shouldn't that be duct tape demons? These guys are the first ones you meet; they look like people (and very athletic young people at that) who've been completely tied up with duck tape. They can't hit you because their arms are strapped down, but they have unbelievable halitosis and can spew a stream of poisonous gas at you.
2 of 3: Shoot if you have a projectile weapon; otherwise, try to get behind them before you attack to avoid the gas cloud.
3 of 3: Also, you'll notice that after they go down, if they're not really dead they'll start wriggling around like silverfish, then recover and come after you again. To keep this from happening, get up close after they hit the ground and stomp on them (hit Action).
