First Encounter at Care Center

Shadow Ghost First Encounter

You won't be able to beat Shadow Ghost in the first encounter at Care Center, as you have no gun at this point of the story. Simply solve the puzzle and restore the power to the door to escape it and progress.

If you get chased, you can run into the rooms with light, but you won't be able to stay on them for long as it will destroy the light once you get to certain progress.

Care Center Walkthrough

How to Escape

Walkthrough
1
Shadow Ghost will appear in the Prep Room once you unlock and get inside Room 201. It will immediately chase you after the cutscene, but you can easily lose it by going to Room 203, the room where Grace first woke up.
2

Go back to the Prep Room and head to the Nurses' Station after the chase. Once there, move the cart close to the Tool Box above the cabinet to reach it.

Note that moving the cart will create noise and attract Shadow Ghost, but you can hide under the small table at the corner and wait for it to leave the room.
Tip: If you're on Standard Classic Difficulty, you can get an Ink Ribbon from a drawer by moving a corpse out of the way.
3 Climb the cart and get the Screwdriver from the toolbox once Shadow Ghost leave. You will need it to open the fuse box in Room 201.
4 Shadow Ghost Camping the Hallway
Shadow Ghost will camp the hallway once you try to go back to Room 201 for the Fuse. Once it appear again, return to Room 203 and come out once it destroys the light. You can sneak your way back to Room 201 and throw a Glass Bottle to distract it away from the hallway.
5

Once you get to Room 201, open up the fuse box using the Screwdriver and grab the Fuse. A short cutscene will trigger after getting the fuse, spawning the Shadow Ghost from the ceiling of the room.
6

Sprint towards the door with a missing Fuse at the end of the hallway to the left of the Horse Statue. Place the Fuse to finish this area and play as Leon again.

Shadow Ghost Boss Fight Tips

Shadow Ghost Tips and Strategies


Lure Shadow Ghost Into the Light

Run to Room 203 in the First Chase

The Shadow Ghost's main weakness is the light. Lure it into the light to deal damage and make it go away.

Stay Quiet by Crouching

Stay Quiet by Crouching

Crouch to walk slowly and quietly to avoid detection as Shadow Ghost reacts highly to sound. You should be able to move around in most areas without getting caught by crouching.

Use Bottles to Distract Shadow Ghost

Use Glass Bottles to Distract

You can carry throwable glass bottles as Grace in the game. You can use them to distract Shadow Ghost as it goes to where the sound is. This should help you complete puzzles or pass through areas that might create noise.
