Keiichiro Toyama delivers another unique horror game with splashes of his beloved Gravity Rush series, bringingSlitterheadto fans hungry for the bizarre and creative titles that set him apart from the rest of the genre. As such, you can expect lots of jank in this game but also lots of exhilarating and horrific moments that keep you locked in.
One aspect of Slitterhead that doesn’t come into play until a bit later on in your playthrough is RE (2nd Loop) missions, having you revisit previous missions with new knowledge, allowing you to get out in front of the Slitterheads that got the best of you or someone else.
Starting Missing Girl RE (2nd Loop) In Slitterhead
Now that youhave access to Alex,you will be able tochoose him as either your Primary or Companion Rarityin some missions, allowing you toswitch to him during combat or exploration.If you liked his playstyle in the previous mission, then, by all means, make him your starting Rarity.
If it wasn’t apparent by now, theRE (2nd Loop)version ofMissing Girlisessentially the same missionas the initial version, but you now havedirect knowledge of where Anita will be,allowing you torace over to where she met her demise in an attempt to save her.
Follow Anita’s Trail
Since youknow where Anita ends up,youwon’t have to do all the Crane shenanigansfrom the original mission, allowing you tobegin following her trail instantly.So, as soon as you load in,chase after her trailall the way to thedead endjust like before anduse possession to get over the various carts and boxesblocking your way.
From here, you willcontinue following her trail to the empty lot where she was murdered last timeby the Slitterhead. Fortunately, this time, she’s still alive, allowing you topossess her after a brief cutscene,making her yoursecond additional Rarityin the game.
Much like Alex,Anita will have a tutorial,forcing you touse her various Skillsto get the hang of them. You can useDevil’s Scenttosummon a crowd of civiliansand then useMind Hacktosic them all on the Slitterhead,dealing a surprising amount of damage. She also has access toPoison Needlesthat can inflict her target with Poison,dealing gradual damageover time.
Defeat Blacktip Mantidfly Slitterhead
After finishing Anita’s tutorial, you will have todefeat the Blacktip Mantidfly Slitterheadonce more, this time with Anita. While therewon’t be any civilianspresent off the bat, you’re able to use herDevil’s Scent Skill to summon theminto play, allowing you to switch to them if things get hairy.
Additionally, thecivilians will also have access to her Poison Needles,enabling you toinflict Poisonon the Slitterhead, having its health gradually drain out. After chipping away at its health, the Slitterhead will flee from the area.
Chase The Blacktip Mantidfly Slitterhead
Begin chasing after the Blacktop Mantidfly Slitterheaduntil itstops in a small marketarea in the back alleys and begins fighting you again. Like before,use Devil’s Scent to summon a group of civiliansand use them toland heavy attacks and toss Poison Needlesat the Slitterhead.
Dropping theSlitterhead’s health down slightly past halfway will have it flee once more,scaling the sides of the building this time, planting itself on a rooftop.
Continue Chasing The Blacktip Mantidfly Slitterhead
With the Slitterhead chilling on the rooftop above you, you mustfind a way on topof it yourself. To do this, useBlood Jumptoreach the signs above you.ThenBlood Jump once more to reach a yellow neon signdirectly across from the building where the Slitterhead is.
Whenever you’re on this neon sign,look across to where the Slitterhead isto see a civilian standing on the rooftop.Possess this civilian to reach the rooftopand begin fighting the Blacktip Mantidfly Slitterhead.
Defeat The Blacktip Mantidfly Slitterhead
WhileAnita or Julee won’t be here at first,that shouldn’t matter too much, asyour strategy during the previous two encounters applies here,allowing you toswiftly finish off the Blacktip Mantidfly Slitterheadbefore your Rarities even spawn in.
Use yourPoison Needles to inflict the Slitterhead with the Poison Status Effect,thenbegin pummeling it with your Blood Weapons,periodicallyswitching to another civilian if your health gets dangerously low.Parrying will also keep you in the fight longer, allowing you to activate Blood Time to deal substantial damage.
TheBlacktip Mantidfly Slitterhead doesn’t do anything different here,so whatever you did that got you this far, repeat that once more to have it defeated for good!
