With the help of our thorough guide to unlocking every rarity, explore the sinister and twisted realm of Slitterhead. Discover how to use these special powers to subdue the hideous animals that prowl Kowlong’s streets.
The creator of Silent Hill’s most recent horror masterpiece, Slitterhead, immerses players in a terrifying world where hideous creatures known as Slitterheads prowl the night. But don’t worry, you’re not fighting this battle alone. You will come across unique people known as “Rarities” with exceptional abilities as you advance through the game.
When the protagonist has these rarities, they provide them access to special skills and fighting techniques that can help them win the conflict. To survive and learn the Slitterhead’s secrets, one must become proficient in these rarities.
In addition to offering insightful information on each rarity’s advantages and disadvantages, this book will accompany you through the process of unlocking each one.
Recognizing Rarities
Even when possessed by the game’s protagonist, a formless spirit known as the “Night Owl,” rarities—people with extraordinarily strong wills—are able to maintain some degree of control. Every Rarity has a distinct set of skills that materialize as ghostly weapons and abilities, enabling a variety of fighting strategies.

Developing Your Skills
Every rarity has a different style of play, and success depends on trying out their skills. While some rarities are more suited for ranged assaults or crowd management, others are more adept at close-quarters fighting.
Don’t forget to strategically use the possession mechanic. During combat, switching between rarities can be used to generate lethal combos and take advantage of enemy weaknesses. For instance, you may narrow the distance with Alex’s claws, then quickly attack with Julee’s katana, and finally form a defensive barrier with Doni’s thorns.
Beyond the Battlefield
Additionally, rarities are essential to puzzle-solving and exploration. Their special skills can allow them to engage with particular things in the environment or get access to hidden locations. Observe your environment and think about which Rarity could be most appropriate.
Accept the Challenge
Although Slitterhead is a difficult task, you can conquer the horrors that lie ahead if you can master the Rarities. Discover the secrets of Kowlong, embrace the range of skill levels, and try out various play methods.
