10 Video Game NPCs With Awesome Details You Totally Missed

10. The Second Pyramid Head Is Eddie’s - Silent Hill 2

This one is still open to debate, but since that’s Silent Hill’s disgusting, pulsing bread and butter, I feel it fits. Tinfoil hats on, folks!

James, the game’s protagonist, meets Eddie, a heavily-bullied and mentally-disturbed individual, near the start of Silent Hill 2. Vomiting in a room next-door to a mutilated corpse, James remarks that they died unlike all the other creatures he’s encountered, and it’s implied Eddie murdered them.

Pyramid Head is a creature which feeds on personal guilt. James has it in spades, and so does Eddie - his thinly-veiled apathy cracks several times during the game as he lashes out violently (not unlike James, himself), before returning to eating pizza.

During a puzzle in the prison, James notices there are actually two Pyramid Heads on the plaque (despite only one pursuing him, and Eddie being the only other person who has seen one) - part of a puzzle which includes plates depicting The Oppressor (James), with the other being The Glutton, and The Seductress.

Given that the only other people we meet are Eddie, a glutton, and Angela, a victim of sexual violence (someone who has already been punished), could the second Pyramid Head be there for Eddie?
