Silent Hill 2 Remake Bubble Head Nurse Guide

The Bubble Head Nurse is a humanoid monster in the Silent Hill 2 Remake. Check out this guide for information on the Bubble Head Nurse, its locations, and how to beat it!

How to Beat Bubble Head Nurse

Hit From Behind

Bubble Head Nurse Backstab
If you can sneak up on a nurse, specifically when it's head appears to be 'glitching', wacking her on the back should cause a knockdown.

Once down, just continue meleeing the nurse until there no more movement.

Melee From a Dodge

Unless staggered, the Bubble Head Nurse can counter, and she does so surprisingly often. It's recommended to melee attack from a dodge.

Shoot The Head

A clean headshot staggers a Bubble Head Nurse. 4 headshots finishes a nurse.

You can also knock her down by shooting the legs, but headshots are more effective.

Recommended Weapon: Handgun

While you can opt to melee to conserve ammo, the fastest and easiest way to take down a Bubble Head Nurse is with the Handgun.

Shoot in the head or legs, then finish off with melee attacks once she's down.

Bubble Head Nurse Enemy Profile

Silent Hill 2 Remake Mannequin

The Bubble Head Nurse looks like a feminine monster with a nurse outfit. This monster carries a melee weapon that it will certainly use against James if it spots him.

Monster Stats

Weakspot Head, Legs
Attack Strength Strong
Movement Speed Average
Durability Medium

The iconic Nurse from the Silent Hill games makes her remake debut! Sporting an improved model and animations, this iteration of the Bubble Head Nurse is alluringly eerie. This time, she gains a quick burst of speed when initially aggroed by James.

On top of that, the Bubble Head Nurse now acts more erratically, potentially causing confusion and making players commit more mistakes.

Variant

Bubble Head Nurse with Knife

Bubble Head Nurse with Knife

Initially encountered in Brookhaven Hospital (Otherworld), this variant of the Bubble Head Nurse has faster melee attacks. Its blackish coloration also makes it harder to spot, and its new moveset is more difficult to read compared to standard Nurses.
