Learn how to defeat the Schism boss in Silent Hill: Townfall. This guide covers its attacks, weaknesses, and effective strategies for combat.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    When fighting a Schism, learn its attacks: a head slash, an arm swing, an uppercut head slash, a head slash lunge, and a grabbing lunge. Dodge away from close-range attacks and try to stay close to avoid the damaging long-distance lunges.
  2. 2
    The Fire Axe is effective for close-range combat against a single Schism. Use X attacks up close, but don't let it back away.
  3. 3
    The A, A, X combo with the pipe can be effective after dodging a Schism's move.
  4. 4
    If you defeat the first two Schisms, three more will appear from a side door. There is nothing down that hallway, so focus on the initial enemies.
  5. 5
    To find a Health Drink, allow the second Schism to survive, then hop through the broken window. Collect the Health Drink from the top of the file cabinet.
  6. 6
    Hop back through the window and enter the restroom on the left (second door to the left). Collect the Health Drink from the fourth sink.
  7. 7
    The other restroom across the room has nothing but a dead body.
  8. 8
    Run through the open door next to the broken glass. All doors along the way are locked.
  9. 9
    Duck under the hole in the wall on the left at the end of the corridor to enter the Briefing Room.
  10. 10
    In the Briefing Room, two Schisms will attack. Arm your shotgun, run to the closest one, shoot it once to knock it down, then blast it again while it's on the ground.
  11. 11
    Defeat the last Schism with X swings from the Fire Axe up close.
  12. 12
    Pick up Shotgun Ammunition from the file cabinet behind the desk.
  13. 13
    Chop through the boarded-up doorway on the southeast side of the room with your Fire Axe.
  14. 14
    Move south down the Hallway to Garage. The doors on the left and right are jammed.
  15. 15
    Continue to the garage door and open it.
  16. 16
    In the Garage, a Schism will knock away metal barrels. Run towards it and hit it with constant X swings from the Fire Axe, or use two shotgun blasts if you are afraid.
  17. 17
    Examine the WRINKLED MEMO on the black police car for a clue to the locker puzzle.
  18. 18
    Enter the office on the west side of the garage.
  19. 19
    The metal cabinet is locked. The combination is found by looking at the clock in the room, which shows 2:06. Enter "206" as the combination.
  20. 20
    Collect Shotgun Ammunition, Health Drink, and Pistol Ammo from inside the locker.
  21. 21
    Pull the lever on the far wall to open the garage door. Duck under it to trigger a cutscene.
  22. 22
    Objective Update: [ ] Rescue Elle.
  23. 23
    A Siam will attack. Take out the shotgun and shoot it three times, or use the handgun and shoot it 7 times. Each handgun shot will stagger it.
  24. 24
    Do not try to run from the Siam. Its weak point is its feminine legs on its back, but they are hard to reach.
Tips
  • Staying close to the Schism helps avoid its most damaging long-distance attacks.
  • The Fire Axe is very effective for close-range combat.
  • The A, A, X combo with the pipe can be useful after dodging an attack.
  • When facing multiple Schisms, focus on one at a time and avoid getting surrounded.

  • The achievement "Shades of James" (20G) is unlocked for beating the Siam.
