Flesh Lips Information

Flesh Lips Background

Flesh Lips is one of the bosses you will have to overcome to progress the story in the Silent Hill 2 Remake. You face off with Flesh Lips after getting into an argument shortly after finding Laura in the hospital.

Flesh Lips in The Original Game

In the original Silent Hill 2, you have to fight 2 Flesh Lips at once, shooting at them as you move to evade when they come towards you. There is a third Flesh Lips you'll have to dispatch after dealing with the first two.

Flesh Lips Phase 2

Flesh Lips Now Has a 2nd Phase

The new Flesh Lips keeps much of the original design, but has newer mechanics to make for a more thrilling boss battle. While you fight just one Flesh Lips this time, it has a whole new set of moves other than just trying to grab you.

Once you break Flesh Lips's cage, it enters its 2nd Phase, becoming more nimble and aggressive.

Attacks and Abilities

Phase 1
Ceiling Drop Flesh Lips violently swings down from the ceiling. Ceiling tiles will be broken off where he does this.
Arm Strike Swings at you with one of its spider-like cage limbs.
(Can perform from the Ceiling or on the Floor)
Phase 2
Roar Lets out an ear-piercing shriek. Does no damage but always causes stagger.
Spindle Sweep Flesh Lips swipes the area around it with its cage limbs.
(Can perform from the Ceiling or on the Floor)
Charging Skewer Flesh Lips quickly charges up before rushing at you in a straight line, ending in a thrust with one of its cage limbs.

How to Beat Flesh Lips

Flesh Lips Strategies


Watch The Tiles

The ceiling tiles where Flesh Lips is about to emerge will slightly shake, warning you to avoid that area.

Tiles that are broken remain broken for the rest of the fight, so use them to help keep track of Flesh Lips whenever it retreats.

Shoot Its 'Hand'

Whenever Flesh Lips comes out from the ceiling, you will see that its hand is grabbing one of the supports. Shooting it causes the monster to drop and be momentarily stunned. Use this strategy to get in some melee attacks.

Save Your Ammo for Phase 2

During Phase 1 of this fight, focus on melee as that helps you more easily break Flesh Lips's cage.

Once it enters Phase 2, it's faster and more aggressive, but also squishier since the cage no longer protects its body. Use your guns to whittle down Flesh Lips from range. Like in the original, the Shotgun is particularly effective here.
