Notes from author
If you've played the Silent Hill series, you know how terrifying (and badass) Pyramid Head is. Relatively low level, so you can pretty much invade everywhere.
Try to go for spooky areas. The depths, catacombs, tomb of giants, chasm of the abyss and the likes.
Use iron flesh if you want, it's not mandatory, but it'll make your opponents feel powerless, as all 1H attacks will bounce right off of you, whatever their weapons might be.
Rules are:
Never run. Always slowly walk towards your target.
Backstabbing is fine as long as it's a punishment. Don't. Fish.
Healing is fine against a gank, not on 1v1s.
Take your time. Don't get hasty. Make them panic.
2H the sword is fine, but try to avoid it.
Why the demon great machete and not the man serpent greatsword? Pyramid Head uses a sword that no ordinary human could ever hope to wield, and is as dangerous as it looks. The DGM is perfect for this. Slow, huge, looks dirty, and is extremely powerful.
Pro tip: play unlocked. You will be easy to backstab and to parry if you keep your lock on.
The point is not to always win (though it's a nice plus), just have a good time and feel badass.
Based on Krazy999's video: "[DkS] Pyramid Head Invasions" Go watch it, it's awesome.
