OSAKA HOUSE - 1F FIREPLACE ROOM (3)

Learn how to defeat the Two Men in Dark in the Osaka House Fireplace Room in Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Remake. Get tips and strategies to survive.

Alright, we're heading into the Osaka House, specifically the 1F Fireplace Room. You might run into some random ghosts here, and fighting them is a good way to rack up Spirit Points. If you're not feeling up to it, though, you can always just make a break for the Entrance and get out of the house.

Mini-Boss Fight: Two Men in Dark

Stats / Weaknesses:

• Difficulty: Medium
• Recommended Films: Type-7 Films (for conservation, but stronger films are fine if you're struggling)

Strategy:

1. When you first enter this area from the Big Tatami Room, you'll likely see the two men in different spots. This isn't ideal for fighting them.
2. Your best bet is to head up the nearest staircase to the 2nd floor. The men should follow you up together, effectively becoming one target.
3. Once they're grouped up, turn back, aim your Camera Obscura, and hit them with a shot. If they're close enough, you can even get a Double Shot to damage both simultaneously.
4. When they get too close, quickly exit Finder Mode and run away. Once you've put some distance between you, turn back and repeat the process.
5. The general route to keep them grouped and manageable is: climb the staircase near the Tatami Room -> move through the 2F corridor -> descend using another staircase -> return to the center of the room -> climb the staircase near the Tatami Room again. Keep repeating this until they're defeated.
6. The goal here is to group them up so you can treat them like a single enemy. Don't wander into the corridors on the 2F too much, as they can ambush you from the walls, especially around corners.

After you've dealt with these two, you'll have a brief moment of peace in the house, as no other ghosts should bother you here.
