How to Beat First Boss Ara-abare
- Kite the Boss Away From the Well
- Move After the Stun Wears Off
- Dodge as Soon as You Can After the Grab
- Don't Hit the Blade Arm
We've considered the Ara-abare the first boss as the encounter is structured similarly to a boss fight. To see the Formidable Foe who officially acts as Silent Hill f's first boss, check out our guide on the Sakuko-like Entity.

Kite the Boss Away From the Well
When fighting the Ara-abare, your main objective should be to pull this first boss away from the well. Bait it away from the point of interest so you can interact with it safely.
Interact With the Well When the Boss is Far
Once you've lured away the Ara-abare, run to the well to interact with it and pull up the key that you need. Keep vision on the boss so you know when you can retreat if its moving in to attack.
Move After the Stun Wears Off
When the Ara-abare uses its scream to stun Hinako, be sure to move as soon as it wears off as the boss is likely to follow-up with another attack in an attempt to hit you while you're immobile.
Dodge as Soon as You Can After the Grab
Similarly, if you get hit by its grab attack, be sure to move away as soon as Hinako gets up as it will try to land a hit on you while you are down.
Don't Hit the Blade Arm
If you go to attack the boss, aim to land your attacks away from the blade, as your weapon will bounce off the metal blade and deal no damage. Note that you do not need to defeat it to crank the well, but doing so will let you freely interact with the well.
Ara-abare Attacks and Move List
Stunning Howl
The Ara-abare bellows, temporarily stunning Hinako in place.
Lasher Grab
The Ara-abare throws its lasher behind it before swinging it forward for a grab. It will follow-up with an overhead strike if it catches Hinako.
Running Slam
The Ara-abare winds up for an overhead slam with its knife, its momentum keeping it running forwards for a bit and extending the atttack.
Sweeping Turn
The Ara-abare whips around, hitting whatever is close by with its swinging appendages.
Side Swipe
A fast swiping attack with the Ara-abare's blade.
Ara-abare First Boss Encounter

 Ara-abare

| Description | |
|
A giant, repulsive lump of flesh that is filled to the brim with a maniacal anger. It howls awfully as it swings its large knife in any which direction. Its unfettered anger is no different from that of a wild animal... No. It's far worse than that. |
