A key aspect that makes survival horror games so frightening is the option to fight back, even if it’s not always the best choice. This sense of freedom increases the tension when managing resources and facing enemies. However, Silent Hill still tends to throw you into intense boss battles at just the right moments.
In Silent Hill f, Hinako faces numerous fears. She is often looked down upon simply because she is a girl. Her own parents are the source of much of her suffering, representing how the world mistreats her through their actions. It makes sense that one of her final bosses is her own parents.
Hinako’s parents are found in her home, which she sees as a prison. Her parents never leave the house, and she feels trapped there. To her, that house is hell. When she returns to the Shimizu Residence, her parents are waiting for her at the end.
Her parents appear as a pair, inseparable in this twisted version of her home, just like in real life. You encounter them face-to-face after placing the Pine Emblem at the door at the end of the residence.
To defeat her parents, focus on fighting one at a time. Her father looks like a big, slow enemy, with only slight variations in his moves. Her mother, however, is a distinct enemy who fights using knives. While individually manageable, fighting them together is much harder. Since her father is slow, it’s usually easier to concentrate on her mother, who is faster and can be separated from him more easily. Focusing on her makes it easier to avoid his attacks.
When battling her mother, keep in mind that she has melee strikes and can throw her knife to hit from a distance. She also has a grab move that, if hit, will throw Hinako at the feet of her father. It’s crucial to dodge quickly here, or you risk being hit by her father afterward.
Once her mother is defeated, her father becomes more aggressive, letting out roars that greatly reduce Hinako’s Sanity. His attacks are similar to those of his base form: wide tentacle swipes, slamming with his knife arm, and a tentacle grab — though the grab isn’t very damaging.
You can win the fight even sooner by defeating her father first, which ends the battle immediately. Note that you cannot defeat her mother alone; you must take out her father first if you want to finish early.
Defeating her father first also grants you the achievement or trophy called “Just Shut Up For Once, Dad.”
