Can you obtain the Pyramid Head’s Great Knife? Silent Hill 2 Remake Guide

The Silent Hill 2 Remake is a masterful creation. The impeccably acted cutscenes by its small yet talented cast effectively capture the original game’s ambiance. The modern high-definition graphics maintain a contemporary look without compromising the eerie atmosphere. 

Although the combat mechanics feel awkward, players are genuinely pleased with the revitalized horror remake. Some locations remain unchanged, and players are curious if the weapons, especially the Great Knife from Silent Hill 2, have remained the same.

1. How to get the Great Knife in the Silent Hill 2 Remake?

Players cannot obtain the Great Knife, as the weapon is not obtainable as an item and is only part of a thirty-second cutscene in Silent Hill 2 Remake.

Pyramid Head’s “Great Knife” sword was an unlockable weapon in Silent Hill 2. However, it seems that the Great Knife is not included in the Remake as a primary weapon, possibly because integrating it into the new and improved combat system would have been incredibly difficult.

There is a part in the game where James drags the knife behind him for about thirty seconds to solve a required puzzle, but he abandons it shortly afterward. You can’t take it with you, and given how much it slows him down, you probably wouldn’t want to.

2. What does the Great Knife symbolize in Silent Hill 2 Remake?

The Great Knife is a weapon in the Silent Hill series. It is first seen in Silent Hill 2 as Pyramid Head’s main weapon. It is a heavy half-scissor created from James Sunderland’s mind, used by Pyramid Head to represent his role as a reflection of James’ inner thoughts. 

The Great Knife has a large blade similar in design to Angela Orosco’s kitchen knife, despite obvious size differences. The developer intended for James to acquire the other half of the scissors later in the game, symbolizing Pyramid Head’s role as a reflection of his psyche.

3. Where was the Great Knife originally located?

The Great Knife was first seen in Silent Hill 2 inside The Labyrinth. It will be located in a red room connected to the octagon-shaped hallway.
