Walkthrough

1
Enemy Description: Schisms possess sharp appendages, a blade-like head, and sharp hands. They are particularly dangerous when encountered in groups. It's advisable to separate them or run if facing multiple.
Weaknesses:
- Shotgun: Highly effective. A blast from the normal shotgun significantly damages them, often leaving them vulnerable to a finishing blow from a handgun or melee weapon.

2

Bluesteel Shotgun: Can kill a Schism in one shot on Normal difficulty, depending on range.

3

Combat Strategy:

Ammo Conservation: Early in the game, shoot a Schism with a shotgun to knock it down, then finish it with a handgun or melee weapon while it's on the ground.

4

Melee Combat: If using melee weapons, focus on dodging its attacks. The grab attack requires precise, early dodges. Use quick attacks and avoid charging unless the enemy is downed. Counter-attacks after a dodge are effective for staggering the Schism, enabling finishers.

5

Attacks and Dodging:

Head Blade Combo: Schism swings its blade head left then right. Dodge the moment it pulls its head back for the first swing. Both swings must be dodged if the first isn't timed perfectly.

6

Head Uppercut: Schism ducks then uppercuts with its blade head. Dodge the moment it ducks; this requires fast reflexes.

7

Arm Swing: Schism leans back and swings its arm forward. Dodge as soon as it leans back.

8

Lunging Head Stab: Schism holds its head upwards then lunges forward to stab. Dodge as it runs towards Alex. Distinguish this from the grab by the head being held directly upwards.

9

Grabbing Lunge: Schism raises its head higher than normal, looks forward, growls, then lunges to grab. Dodge right as it holds its head up; this dodge needs to be earlier than expected. The key difference from the head stab is that the head is not held directly upwards before the lunge.

10

Finishers: (Triggered when the Schism is in a Dazed Stance, staggering with its head down)

Combat Knife/Ceremonial Dagger: Alex grabs and slices the Schism's neck, then kicks it down as its head detaches.

11

Steel Pipe/Crowbar: Alex hits the Schism over the head, clobbers it again, and then plunges the weapon into it.

12

Fire Axe/Pulaski Axe: Alex drives the axe into the back of the Schism's head, yanks it back, and cuts the head off.
