The RE (2nd Loop) missions inSlitterheadallow you to revisit previous missions with a slight advantage since you know where to go and what to do to stave off the impending disaster. And while they are largely similar, there are lots of differences between them, which can make them substantially more challenging.
Overall, you should explore more when accessing RE (2nd Loop) missions, as you can obtain lots of collectibles and goodies that can earn you Skill Tokens and even Outfits and Masks. But, for now, let’s focus primarily on how to complete these missions, as you can always revisit them afterward!
Starting Lurking Parasite RE (2nd Loop) In Slitterhead
Lurking Parasite RE (2nd Loop)is thesecond RE missionyou will get access to in Slitterhead, which has yourevisit the first missionof the game, allowing you tofind the Slitterhead early to prevent it from wreaking havocon the city. As such, we stronglyrecommend choosing Julee and Alexfor this mission, as they’re extremely powerful Rarities.
Investigate The Rooftop
When the mission begins, you will havethree objectives,but youonly have to focus on oneof them since you already know therooftopis the most crucial part of this quest. So, from here, justuse Blood Jump to ascend the neon signs,thenuse it again to reach the rooftop where the dumpster that had the dead bodyin it last time is.
Check the dumpsterto find that there’sno corpsein it yet, allowing you toinstantly begin tracking the aura of the Slitterhead,as it is in the area, ready to strike its victim down. Fortunately, you made it in time and can prevent this from happening this time around.
Climb onto the roof directly behind the dumpsterto find a couple talking to each other. There will be awoman with a pink shirthere. Approach her andSplatter Bloodon her to reveal thatshe’s the Slitterhead,having it begin fleeing the area, forcing you to start chasing it.
Chase The Slitterhead
After the Slitterhead flees, you mustpossess your Companion Rarity across the streeton the opposite rooftop to resume your pursuit. Once on the other rooftop,examine the bodyon the floor to reveal that theSlitterhead has changed bodies.
Take a left from the bodyuntil you reach asteep drop-off,and useBlood Jump to get on the clothesline far in the distance.Remain on the clothesline andlook to the left.You should see acouple standing on an elevated rooftopby themselves.
Make your way over to the couple andSplatter Blood on the woman in the yellow shirtto reveal that she’s the Slitterhead,causing it to flee from the area again,having you go after it yet again.
Defeat Slitterheads
Chasing the Slitterhead for a little bit will have itcall upon a couple of lesser Slitterheads,having them temporarily halt your chase.Swiftly take them out with your Skills and switch to other nearby civilians,then begin your hunt once more.These Slitterheads won’t be a challenge at all.They’re just meant to slow you down.
Head down to the main streetand use theSightjackfeature topinpoint the location of the Slitterhead.It will bedisguised as a manthis time around,wearing a striped shirt.Once you locate them,Splatter Blood on themone last time, causing them to begin running away again.
Use Blood Ripper to slow them down,having themscale back up to the rooftops.UseBlood Jumpto follow behind it, eventuallyleading you to an abandoned rooftop,where you will face it one last time after it evolves.
Defeat Orchid Mantis Slitterhead
Just like before, your opponent will be theOrchid Mantis Slitterhead,which ispretty much identical to the one you faced the first time.In fact, you will likelykill it substantially fasterthan before, especially if you’veupgraded your Active Skillsor decide to use Alex in addition to Julee.
Be sure to useJulee’s Sonic Claws and heavy attackswhile also using herRevive All Skill if things get a little bumpy.Overall, thisshouldn’t be too much of a challenge,as you areessentially facing the enemy from the very first mission that has no new moves or anything differentabout it, making it a cakewalk!
Parrying is also usefulhere, and thesame applies to guardingin general. Justuse your Skills wisely and attack when there’s an opening,and you will be good to go!

Clearing the RE (2nd Loop) version of Lurking Parasite for the first timewill grant you18 Skill Tokens,allowing you to upgrade whoever you feel like however you see fit. Again,they’re shared Skill Tokens, so use them wisely.
Obligatory, don’t forget tolisten to all ‘Talk’ conversations to progress the main story and receive hintsfor more Rarities, as that’s the primary way to do it!
