Slitterheadhas a tremendous amount of charm and uniqueness to it that lessens some of its jankiness and shortcomings, allowing you to enjoy its exhilarating combat and eerie story beats, making for one of this year’s best offerings in terms of horror releases.
If you’re a fan of Keiichiro Toyama’s previous works, you will likely be on board for what’s offered here, especially once you get deeper into its bizarre world and begin uncovering its biggest mysteries, making Jar of Poison one of its best missions overall.
Starting Jar Of Poison In Slitterhead
Jar of Poisononly becomes availableafter acquiring Tri,which will help push the narrative forward. As such, you will be able tobring along an additional Rarityas yourCompanion,which we strongly recommend being eitherEdo or Julee.
Do you want todeal tons of damage?ThenEdoshould be your focus. Otherwise, we recommendJulee solely for her Revive All Skill,as it will beextremely useful toward the end of the mission.Regardless, both options will work well!
Search The Lower Floor
When the mission begins, you will beTri,standing alone in the facility’s kitchen, looking directly at the door that leads into the forbidden area.Navigate toward the door and open itto proceed into the next area.
Once here,sneak down the stairs and follow the hallwayuntil you reach aguard facing awayfrom you.Quickly make your way into the lit room to the right.UsePossessionto squeeze through theopen windowfrom here, thenpossess the guard to the left.
Turn aroundas the guard,walk past the windowyou squeezed through, and thentake a left,following this pathway to a door.Attempt to open the door to see that it’s locked,forcing you tofind an alternate wayinto the room.
Use The Freight Elevator
As youmake your way back past the window,you will notice aFreight Elevatorin the room you’re attempting to get into that connects to the room above you. So, from here,follow the hallway to the right and head up the stairsto see two guards standing at the top.
Wait for the guards to walk away,thenhead down the left-hand corridor.Follow this pathway until youreach the Slitterhead guard,then usePossessiontomove to the room beyond themandpossess the guardin the room with all the large pots.
Make your way toward the Freight Elevatorfrom this room, activate it, andtake it down into the room beneath youto continue the mission.
Search Suspicious Room
Aftertaking the Freight Elevator down,you will be in asuspicious room,allowing you to investigate what’s going on. As soon as you’re in the room, abin will be in front of you.Interact with it, thenhead toward the right to find some noteson a desk. Interact with them and continue moving forward.
There will bethree more bins you can interact with as you make your way through the narrow pathwaysof cooling racks. Take your time and interact with all of them, as it will provide slightly more context of what’s going on.
Interacting with the last binwilltrigger a cutscene,having you run intoTommy,one of the Followers in the facility, leading to a series of unfortunate and disturbing events.
Defeat Tommy
Following the cutscene, you will be in anencounter with Tommy,who has turned into a Slitterhead.Tri won’t be there at first,so you mustsurvive as the guard long enoughuntil she does show up. We stronglyurge you to Parry his incoming attacksuntil then.
Switch to Tri the moment she appears,activateBurning Edge,andunleash her power and swift attackson him until you get him down toroughly half-health,causing him to transform even further.
Defeat Warty Frogfish Slitterhead
Upon transforming into theWarty Frogfish Slitterhead,yourselected Companion will appear.If you selectedEdo,switch to him instantly,activate Burning Edge, and then start spamming Angel Stepfor massive damage.
This shouldstun Tommy,allowing you togo even further on the offensiveand deal more and more damage. After he recovers, you canswitch to Tri, activate Bloody Knuckles, and finish the job,or you canstick with Edo, reactivate Burning Edge, and finish them offthat way.
You’vefaced a Warty Frogfish Slitterhead in a previous mission,and this encounter is no different, so itwon’t be anything new or particularly all that challenging!

Investigate The Forbidden Area’s Depths
Make your waythrough the hidden exitand follow the halls until you reach agroup of tiny Slitterheads.Quickly dispatch them andpush slightly forwarduntil you’re in a room withfour lesser Slitterheads and several tiny ones.
UseBurning Edge and Bloody Knuckleshere to make quick work of them, butbe wary of the little Slitterheads with pustulesall over their bodies, as theycan poison you when attacking,having youlose health graduallyfor a brief period.
Continue pushing forward after defeating the lesser Slitterheads toencounter even more little ones,quickly take care of them, andmove forward until you reach a cave.There will be alone man waiting at the endof it, approach them to trigger another brief cutscene.
Defeat The Slitterhead
He willtransform into a Slitterhead,forcing you to deal with him before moving forward. Fortunately, he’s not a special Slitterhead, so you should be able tomake quick work of himby activatingBurning Edge and Bloody Knuckles.
YourCompanion Rarity will also show uphere, so if youneed extra help, it will be readyto go. After defeating the Slitterhead,head into the room to the left and follow the hallwaysinto the next area.
Chase Yin Yue
As youapproach the room with the Master and Yin Yue,another cutscene will play out, having youchase down Yin Yueafter it’s finished. You willchase him into a large roomwhere he willleap up a series of scaffoldingand back into the facility. Use yourBlood Jumpto do the same.

Defeat the lesser Slitterheads, thenhead back toward the courtyardto see Yin Yue leap onto the second floor. UsePossession to get to the second floor quickly,then sprint toward thethird-floor stairsand take them up to encounter Yin Yue.

Defeat The Warty Frogfish Slitterhead

Whileits attacks are the same,there will be several tiny Slitterheadsin the arena, some withpoisonous pustulesthat willinflict Poison on you if hit by them enoughtimes. Overall, the encounter is handled the same way.
Edo will also be availablefor this encounter, so you canutilize his Burning Edge and Angel Step combinationfor obscene amounts of damage,periodically switching back to Trito use herBloody Knucklesfor even more damage.
