Melee Only

[Senna]

What about the hallway part with Pyramid head? We dont technically kill him so can we use guns on this section?

Using gun in the first PH fight doesn't affect to the melee only - achievement. You can also avoid him till he leaves.

What hallway part? As far as i know you never actually have to even touch him once, ever. No melee and no guns. Hitting him only speeds up the progress of “defeating” him.

But for the achievement i think it’s pretty clear, do NOT use guns. Doesn’t matter if you kill something or not

The hallway after you finish The Ruined area. I thought hitting him was letting me pass through the squishy part.

He has to be close to the wall of bodies to make them move.

The part near the end of Labyrinth? I always just run to the right, far enough to trigger his spawn, then turn completely around and walk toward the wall of bodies. Just keep pushing forward and eventually you'll progress. He never touches me and I've never attacked him there.

The Chainsaw makes the melee only achievement a breeze. Only tricky bit is the Eddie fight. I watched a video where a guy turned up the contrast during that section so he could easily spot Eddie which helped quite a bit.

You can use any guns in your run as long as the last hit is melee.
But it's too risky, so it's better to get this achievement on NG+ with a chainsaw.

In the labyrinth cube area? I played on hard and i never even looked at him. Just run.

The contrast not the brightness? I tried maxing brightness & it just looked like i put a white contact lens filter on the game lol
This is the answer i was lookin for tho. very helpful tyvm

Ive only played SH3 before this one. Enemies could bleed out in that one. I havent noticed if thats happening in SH2RE as well or not. Do they?

I just finished the game and got the melee achievement you can shoot but not kill with a shot also if you kill something with a gun you can reload to a previous save and it still counts

good to know about the reload, ty. congrats on your achievement!

The only difficulty I had with the melee was the last the boss, the first phase felt like trying to hit a pinata.

If you play the game with dolby atmos headphones, the eddie fight is easy because you pin point his footsteps from the direction he's in.

You're welcome. As for Eddie, yeah, pretty sure it was Contrast. It was an option on the second tab in the game settings. That change highlighted James and Eddie in pink and blue hues. Makes it much easier to spot Eddie in the freezer.
