Slitterhead offers many ways to explore its story and underlining narratives, with RE (2nd Loop) missions being amongst the most crucial. Not only are you able to revisit previous missions, but you retain the knowledge from before, allowing you to make essential changes.

RE (2nd Loop) missions flesh out the central story tremendously, allowing you to get to the bottom of the mystery and what Slitterheads actually are, giving you extra tidbits and incentives along the way, making them some of the best missions in the game!

Starting Oppressive Force RE (2nd Loop) In Slitterhead

Doni is required for taking on Oppressive Force RE (2nd Loop), meaning you can only select the Rarity Companion. We strongly recommend bringing Edo along for this mission, as his Burning Edge Skill pairs tremendously well with Doni.

Aside from Edo, Rarities such as Julee and Alex will also work well, as her Revive All Skill is essentially a get-out-of-jail-free card, and Alex's Blood Well and Bloody Blast combination works great against large groups of Slitterheads!

Find Yin Yue

The moment the mission begins, use Blood Jump to propel yourself atop the sign directly in front of you, then navigate the same way across the large neon signs. Make your way over the first overpass, continue crossing over the neon signs, and get to the second overpass.

You will see Yin Yue standing on top of the second overpass, allowing you to chase after him, having you run through the city, using Blood Jump to stay on his tail.

Chase Yin Yue

With Yin Yue in your sights, begin chasing after him, having him quickly launch himself across the rooftops, seemingly disappearing in the blink of an eye. From here, head back toward where you started the mission, look up to find a large yellow neon sign, and use Blood Jump to reach it.

Jump off the neon sign onto the rooftop, then run up the scaffolding to the right and follow it up to another rooftop. You will see Yin Yue standing at the edge of the rooftop, looking down at the main street. Approach him to trigger a brief cutscene.

Chase Slitterhead Yin Yue

Yin Yue will turn into a Slitterhead and will make a break for it, running across the rooftops and neon signs, forcing you to chase after them. Use Blood Jump to get across the rooftops until you have to use Possession on a random civilian to reach the building with a sizable gap.

Continue chasing after him until he leaps down onto the main street, summoning a group of lesser Slitterheads around him. While he is still here, focus on the lesser Slitterheads first, using Burning Edge and Angel Step to eliminate them quickly.

After taking care of the lesser Slitterheads, hit Yin Yue a few times to have him flee from the area, causing you to chase after him yet again.

Defeat And Chase After Yin Yue

Briefly, after tailing Yin Yue again, he will summon more Slitterheads, bringing two normal Slitterheads forward while remaining in the arena. Like before, focus on these two Slitterheads first before worrying about him.

Using Burning Edge and Angel Step, you will have the two standard Slitterheads taken care of in a flash, allowing you to hit Yin Yue a few more times, causing him to run away yet again. Continue chasing after him again, causing him to stop again to, you guessed it, summon more Slitterheads.

He will summon two more normal Slitterheads again, which you will deal with the exact same way as last time, ignoring Yin Yue until after you've defeated them. With the Slitterheads taken care of, Yin Yue will flee into the main street, forcing you to go after him.

Stop Yin Yue From Escaping

Following Yin Yue onto the main street will have a countdown timer pop up on your screen, giving you five minutes to stop Yin Yue from escaping, while simultaneously dropping a Mantis Slitterhead in front of you. As tempting as it may be, don't attack this Slitterhead and continue chasing down Yin Yue.

Continue Chasing Yin Yue

From here, you must continue to chase Yin Yue down while lowering his health quite substantially, or he will escape, having you fail the mission. As you chase him around the city, more and more Slitterheads will be spawned. Ignore all of them; Yin Yue is your top priority.

When you're close to Yin Yue, use your Blood Weapon to deal with a decent amount of damage to him, causing him to fall over from time to time and giving you the green light to unleash more skills onto him for substantial damage.

Since you have Doni on your team, utilizing his Fatal Lance is also an excellent way to deal damage to him as he's running away. The same goes for switching to a random civilian and using Blood Poppers. Once his health is almost depleted, he will run back toward the main street, triggering another cutscene.

Defeat Weedy Scorpionfish Slitterhead And Warty Frogfish Slitterhead

And, just like that, you are now tasked with fighting two special Slitterheads simultaneously, pitting you against the Weedy Scorpionfish Slitterhead and the Warty Frogfish Slitterhead. While this may seem daunting, it's surprisingly not that bad.

Our advice here is to just focus on one of them while using your Skills to make quick work of them. If you selected Edo as your companion, using his Burning Edge will allow Doni to carve through one of them almost instantaneously. You can occasionally switch to Edo to use his Angel Step as well, but it shouldn't be necessary.

Eliminating one Slitterhead will leave you on a one-on-one encounter with the remaining one, essentially allowing you to do the same thing. Activate Burning Edge and just go hard with your Blood Weapon for massive damage.

Switching to Edo to utilize his Angel Step is also a solid choice, as it will evade most incoming attacks from the Slitterhead, making it even more deadly when paired with his Burning Edge. Overall, this encounter isn't nearly as challenging as you might think, especially with Edo on your side!

If you chose Julee or Alex, this encounter will be a bit more challenging, but utilizing their Skills will allow you to go all out for substantial damage. Julee's Revive All makes her temporarily unstoppable, allowing her to spam heavy attacks and Sonic Claws to stun one of the Slitterheads. Alex's Blood Well and Bloody Blast combo enables him to draw them to a central point for massive damage on both!

Oppressive Force RE (2nd Loop) Rewards

Taking down the two special Slitterheads and clearing Oppressive Force RE (2nd Loop) for the first time will give you 24 Skill Tokens. Please keep in mind that these are shared, so choose wisely who you want to spend them on.

New 'Talk' conversations will become available upon completion, and, as always, we will remind you to exhaust all of them to unlock new missions. You should have all Rarities at this point in the game, so you're nearing the end of your journey!
