Silent Hill (PS1) | Final Boss Fight (No Ammo)

Given the design of the final boss fight in Silent Hill a dearth of ammunition would make it impossible...right? See how the developers of SH1 decided to tackle the possibility of a player surviving until the endgame completely devoid of a means of attack!
Gameplay of the 1999 video game Silent Hill that was developed by Team Silent, a group in Konami Computer Entertainment Tokyo (KCET), and published by Konami for the Sony PlayStation.
All gameplay was captured from a North American (NTSC, black label, SLUS-00707) copy of the game running on a PlayStation model SCPH-9001 using the original composite cables included with the system. Footage has been upscaled to 1080p using the RetroTINK-5X Pro for clarity. The brief text interludes and pixelated transitions were added for clarity and are not present in the original game.

Thanks, for some reason this didn't work for my boyfriend, so decided to send him this video to prove I'm not making stuff up when I told him about killing the boss with 0 bullets xD

So how did you do this exactly with the incubator/the glowing boss? Click a few times, dodge sone attacks, then hit her with the hammer?

[@RetroVideoGameFootage]

Not exactly; the hammer swing here was entirely coincidental (that was my first time trying the fight without ammo and for a moment I wondered if I needed to use melee).
After going back and testing again, the player needs to only survive for about 30-35 seconds, or two volleys of lightning from the Incubator, before the fight ends automatically. You don't need to attack her at all!

@@RetroVideoGameFootageah yes but there is one caveat and that is I have rifle ammo but no rifle. I survived for at least 2-3 minute and nothing happened.

@@theluckypierres6076 I see. I had heard that having the ammo in your inventory prevents the fight from automatically ending, but didn't test it myself. Guess that was true! Hope it didn't leave you stuck on the boss.
