Boss Strategies
Bruno
Bruno Keller is Marlowe's right-hand man and the person who prepares rituals for the Scarlet Church.
You'll need to sneak past him during the "Escape from the Scarlet Church Part 1" Quest.
| Strategy in Sneaking Past Bruno | |
|---|---|
| 1 | Wait for Bruno to turn his back, then quickly crawl to the table and take the Keycard hanging on it. |
| 2 | Escape the room through the open door on your left. |
| 3 | Then, use the Keycard to enter the hallway. |
In your next encounter with this boss, Bruno mostly uses straightforward arm strikes, but he can also slip into a pool of blood and chase you.
| Strategy in Defeating Bruno | |
|---|---|
| 1 | Time his single strikes. They are easy to read and easy to dodge. |
| 2 | Hit his head repeatedly with a blunt weapon to stagger him. |
| 3 | Use the Genesis Configuration to throw metal objects at him. |
The Chatterer
The Chatterer is an eyeless Cenobite who hunts you through the eerie hallways of the Labyrinth. This is a chase, not a fight, so you survive by running, avoiding traps, and picking the right path at every fork. He chases you three times, and this strategy covers the first chase.
| The Chatterer Strategy | |
|---|---|
| 1 | Save before you check the metal door in the Scarlet Church. |
| 2 | Take the right path at the first junction and the left path at the second. |
| 3 | Slide or crouch-walk under the chains, and spam the F key if a hook catches you. |
| 4 | Quick Turn when he appears at the junctions. |
| 5 | Keep moving forward until you reach the metal door. |
Charlotte
Charlotte is a devout follower of the Scarlet Church turned monster. Her attacks are limited and simple. She walks toward you constantly, and an occasional grab is the only surprise.
| Charlotte Strategy | |
|---|---|
| 1 | Burn her with fire from torches and barrels, and lay fuel canisters to spread the flames. |
| 2 | Lay bear traps around the arena and lure her into them, then punish her while she is stuck. |
| 3 | Use the large arena to keep your distance. Police cars can blockade her for a moment. |
| 4 | Don't panic if you die once. You wake up in a cage and fight off enemies until the floor opens, then the fight continues. |
Sister of Mercy
Sister of Mercy has multiple arms from rituals that changed her body, and she believes she is worthy of godhood.
| Sister of Mercy Strategy | |
|---|---|
| 1 | Hide behind pillars to block her shards, but don't stay too long because her charge can destroy them. |
| 2 | Aim for the gap in her Shard Wall, reposition behind her, or wait it out behind a pillar. |
| 3 | After the Blinding Scream, watch for her silhouette and fire when it appears. Stand in a corner to limit her angles. |
Marlowe
Colin Marlowe is the leader of the Scarlet Church, and he wants to use the Genesis Configuration to become a Cenobite. His attacks are simple, but his large frame makes them tricky to time.
| Marlowe Strategy | |
|---|---|
| 1 | Shoot the bodies with an orange glow on their backs until they separate from him. Each one staggers him. |
| 2 | Press the attack button when the prompt appears to escape his grab after a knockdown. |
| 3 | Reposition when his hands are up, or bait an attack and dodge. |
| 4 | In the second phase, use the Genesis Configuration on the spiked rock walls and pillars, and shoot the chains to drop the spiked cubes on him. |
All Enemy Types and Weaknesses
Aside from the main bosses, Clive Barker's Hellraiser: Revival includes various enemy types such as Cultists, Unworthies, and tougher minibosses, each having specific weak points worth knowing.
| Enemy | Strength | Key Weakness |
|---|---|---|
| Cultist | Frail, so a headshot or a couple of body shots takes one down. | |
| Armored Cultist | Break the armor to expose the flesh underneath. | |
| Unworthy | Take one to its final hit, then Banish it to recover health. | |
| Flesh Blob | Shoot the blue bulbs to make it explode, which also hurts nearby enemies. | |
| Possessed Cultist | Quick, durable, and always in a group, so back up against a wall or funnel them into a hallway. | |
| Armored Miniboss | Its arms are the weak point, and hitting its face or body does nothing. |
Tips for Surviving Boss Encounters
- Save before every boss encounter, since you can't easily go back.
- Stock up on healing items like Bandages and ammo for your weapons first.
- Look for fire sources, traps, and throwable objects in each boss arena. The Genesis Configuration works best when you use the environment to your advantage.
