Silent Hill 3 Hints
Extreme I - Extreme X
In the Extreme Action Difficulties, any of the boss's attacks will do a major amount of damage, so be sure to avoid them all if possible. (You should already have a feel for the boss's attacks since, in order to get Extreme difficulties, you've already beaten the game on hard.) It might also be useful to have the health bar displayed. The fires that the boss will light will travel quickly, at most halfway around the arc on the side it was lit on. The fire will leave the arc to come after you wherever you're standing, but it'll only travel in a straight line, so when you see it coming, run or sidestep to avoid it. She'll sometimes light two fires at once -- try to attract and dodge one at a time instead of both at once. You cannot block fire. If you run out of ammo (which is very possible on Extreme), you'll have to resort to a melee weapon. Using the most effective weapon you have -- probably the katana -- run in, get in a couple hits, then run back out of the arc. Hopefully, with a little practice, you'll get the timing down as to avoid her attacks. If you die, keep trying again and again. It's possible, but it's not easy.
