Slitterhead’sstory keeps gunning forward, bringing us hot on the heels of a potentially crooked Doctor who’s treating Slitterhead patients, having Alex look further into the situation. This mission may not be the most convoluted of the bunch, but it will likely take an emotional toll on you.
Even if it’s not the most challenging to complete, there will be many twists and turns that can trip you up, leading to many fascinating encounters throughout the course of the mission. Ghost Family is one of our favorites in the game, and it deserves to be experienced if you’re playing through it!
Starting Ghost Family In Slitterhead
Ghost Familyis one of the bestspookymissions in Slitterhead, giving you lots to chew on while building up anticipation and despair. WhileAlex is the permanent Primary Rarity,you canselect his Companion,which we stronglyrecommend making Edo,as hisBurning Edge Skillis extraordinarily strong.

From the start of the mission,head straight ahead with Alex and follow the pathway outside,where there will be many residents in the courtyard. Some will be dancing, while others will be standing around talking amongst each other.To the right will be a woman in a yellow shirt; speak with herto gather information on the family.
Behind the lady in the yellowshirt will be astaircase that leads to the upper portionof the slums.Head up these stairs and take a sharp leftto see the Clinic straight in front of you.Make your way into the Clinictofind the Doctor examining somethingjust inside, andspeak with him,having him more or less shoo you away.

Here,head back down the stairsand return to thecourtyard.You will see anentryway that has stairs leading downunderneath the slums. Make your way down the steps tofind two guys talking to each other,allowing you toeavesdropon their conversation.
Listen in on their conversationto gather more information on the Doctor,having Alex ask them more about the subject,where they willeventually point Alex even further underneaththe slums.
Find Witness
Move evenfurther down the stairsto find ashirtless man leaning against the wallandspeak with him,having him tell you about a patient of the Doctor’s who’s been out of it for a while.Directly behind this manand to the rightwill be apathway that leads to a drop-off.Take this route anddrop down deeperinto the depths of the slums.

After speaking with the Street Man,use Blood Jump to reach the elevated clothesline,eventually leading you to the top of a roof. From here,drop back down into the slumsandmake your way back to the Clinicwhere the Doctor is. Once you arrive, you will noticethe Doctor is no longer there.
Head toward theback of the Clinic and look to the rightto find a locker.Examine the lockerto discover it opens to asecret pathway that leads into the basement.Follow this pathway deeper into the cellar until you encounter the Doctor, triggering a brief cutscene.
Defeat The Doctor
When the cutscene ends, you will have to defeat the Doctor as they’ve transformed into a Slitterhead. This encounter can be challenging, but there’s a trick to it that makes it much more manageable. First,use Blood Well and Blood Blast to deal massive damageto him off the rip, thenproceed to spam Alex’s heavy attack.
For whatever reason,Alex’s heavy attack will continuously stagger the Doctor,allowing Alex to essentially pummel him to death in seconds. TheDoctor will eventually fall over, allowing you to keep swinging awayat him, ultimately killing him in the blink of an eye.
If thisdoesn’t work for some reason,don’t forget toheal by holding R1/RB to absorb the blood from the ground,andconstantly use his Blood Well to pull the Doctor awayfrom him, allowing you toline up a perfect Blood Blast shotto chunk off large portions of his health.Rinse and repeatuntil he is defeated.
With the Doctor defeated,examine his body and the map on the board in the basement,then continue following the questline!
Now that the Doctor is taken care of,exit the Clinic and make your way to the apartment complex,which is directly across from the Clinic entrance. Once inside the apartment,navigate through the halls and to the elevator.Interact with the elevator totrigger a cutscene.
Thedaughter will turn into a Slitterhead and will flee from the apartment,forcing Alex to chase after her.Use his Blood Well to pull the fleeing Slitterhead in,allowing Alex touse Blood Blast to deal substantial damage.Repeat thisseveral times throughout the chaseto force her to run into an abandoned lot, triggering a brief cutscene.
Aim the Blood Well slightly in front of the Slitterhead,as you want it to be able to grab her, allowing it to pull them in toward its center. If youplace it behind them, it will whiff, allowing them to avoid italtogether!
Defeat The Weedy Scorpionfish Slitterhead
Remember when we said tobring Edo along for the ridefor this mission? Well, this boss encounter is the reason why. Not only canAlex use his Burning Edge Skillto increase his damage, butEdo’s Angel Step is a perfect move for this fight,allowing him toevade attacks and deliver devastating blows.
UseAlex’s Blood Well and Blood Blast combo the moment the encounter begins,depleting a large chunk of the Slitterhead’s health. From here,activate Burning Edge and start hacking awayat it, waiting for Edo to spawn into the arena.
Once Edo arrives,activate Burning Edge again and start spamming Angel Step,allowing you toweave through its attacks and deliver brutal strikes,eliminating its health in seconds. Keep on the offensive with Edo, and the encounter will be over before you even know it!
