Silent Hill f - Kyubi Boss Fight Guide

The Kyubi is a boss in Silent Hill f, fought during the events of Chapter 13 at the Dark Shrine Final Path. See how to beat Kyubi, as well as its attacks and more details about it in this guide!

How to Beat Kyubi

  1. Duo Boss Fight With Tsukumogami
  2. Defeat the Kyubi's Summons
  3. Avoid the Puddles of Light
  4. Catch Up to the Tsukumogami
  5. Save Stamina to Dodge or Counter

Duo Boss Fight With Tsukumogami

The boss fight against the Kyubi is actually a six-phased boss fight, with your controlled character swapping between Fox Hinako fighting the Kyubi, and Hinako fighting the Tsukumogami. Each boss has 3 phases, and you will switch control after each phase.

Note that the Tsukumogami in this fight shares the same moveset as its counterpart in the Fox's Wedding ending. However, this one does not get immobilized randomly when fighting.

Tsukumogami Boss Fight Guide

Defeat the Kyubi's Summons

The Kyubi can summon enemies to fight alongside it in battle. It is recommended to deal with these summons first, as they can swarm you if you focus on the boss instead.

Avoid the Puddles of Light

Similarly to the Shichibi, the Kyubi can also create puddles of light that burst into tendrils after a delay. Avoid standing over these bright spots on the ground to dodge these attacks.

Catch Up to the Tsukumogami

The Tsukumogami can teleport, and will sometimes do so to put a lot of space between itself and Hinako. Catch up to it as soon as possible, as it has a variety of ranged attacks that it can pummel you with from afar.

Save Stamina to Dodge or Counter

The Tsukumogami is also difficult to stagger, and is likely to keep attacking you as you land hits on it. Save some Stamina to react accordingly, either via dodging or countering attacks.
