Where To Find Flesh Lip In Silent Hill 2 Remake

Just like in the original, James Sunderland meets Flesh Lip at the end of Brookhaven Hospital. When you finally catch up with Laura on third floor, a cutscene will trigger where she and James have an argument about Mary.

After a heated argument, Laura locks James in a hospital room, where another cutscene plays and Flesh Lip, trapped in a metal cage, falls from the ceiling. Flesh Lip is exactly what its name says, a fleshy monster with human limbs and a pair of lips.

Before you meet Flesh Lip, make sure you've thoroughly explored Brookhaven Hospital and saved your game, as you won't be able to visit the hospital in its current state again.

Unlike the original game, Flesh Lip is more powerful and has a variety of attacks. Like some other managers in Silent Hill 2 Remake, the boss fight is divided into two phases. During the first phase, Flesh Lip remains trapped in its cage, limiting its movement and attack options. Once the cage is destroyed, Flesh Lip breaks free and enters the second phase, where it gains another set of arms and new moves.

Phase one

In the first phase of the fight, Flesh Lip mostly stays above the ceiling, occasionally breaking through to surprise James. To avoid being crushed by Flesh Lip's cage, it is important to keep moving and look closely at the ceiling. When the tiles start shaking, it's a sign that they're about to collapse, and you'll need to move quickly to avoid being hit by the Flesh Lip.

While it is possible to attack the Flesh Lip while it is moving, the most effective strategy is to aim it as the cage falls from the ceiling. Avoid shooting at Flesh Lip's body when it is caged, as your shots will be deflected. Instead, focus on attacking its arms or legs with your ranged weapons, like the shotgun.

If you succeed shoot its hand, Flesh Lip will be stunned, giving you a short opening to attack with your steel pipe or firearm. When the creature recovers, it will return to the roof and continue its attack.


After landing several shots on Flesh Lip's cage, you'll notice it begin to crack. When the cage breaks, Flesh Lip will be completely free and its metallic arms will unfold, signaling phase two of the fight.

Don't use all your ammo in phase 1. Save it for phase 2, when Flesh Lip is uncaged and more vulnerable.

Phase two

With its four arms revealed, Flesh Lip gains access to new and more powerful attacks. This creature is now free to move and chase James around the room. It can deal devastating blows with its arms, that's why you need keep a safe distance at all times. Try to shoot its fleshy middle or legs and avoid its metal plated body. If you notice Flesh Lip raising its arms, dodge to the side to escape.

Flesh Lip's long arms allow it to reach James from most parts of the room and ducking is the only way to avoid being hit. Another of Flesh Lip's attacks involves rrapidly spinning in place with his outstretched arms. This attack can seriously damage James if he doesn't move out of the way. It can too jump back to the roof and position yourself trying to drop right above James, catching him off guard and causing significant damage. Be alert and keep moving to avoid getting hurt.

While melee attacks may have been effective in the first phase, they should be avoided entirely in the second phase due to Flesh Lip's increased agility and powerful attacks. Instead, use your shotgun or handgun to land ranged attacks on Flesh Lips fleshy areas. If you're low on ammo, use a hit-and-run strategy with your melee weapon to attack the Flesh Lip.


Keep attacking the Flesh Lip to drain its health. Although faster and more aggressive, Flesh Lip is vulnerable without its cage, making it easier to damage with your weapons in Silent Hill 2. Once you've dealt enough damage and defeated Flesh Lip, you'll be free to leave Brookhaven Hospital and continue your journey through Silent Hill 2 Remake.
