===''Silent Hill 2''=== After receiving a letter from his deceased wife, Mary, and arriving in the foggy town of Silent Hill to search for her, the protagonist and primary [[player-character]] James Sunderland encounters Pyramid Head several times over the course of the game. He first appears from behind a gate and makes no attempt to attack him.<ref name="PH Allure 1"/> Later in an apartment, James walks in on his rape and murder of two Mannequins—creatures made of two sets of hips and legs.<ref name="Alexander analysis"/> Terrified and panicked, James hides in a closet and shoots Pyramid Head with a handgun several times, which causes him to leave. James witnesses Pyramid Head's rape of another creature when near a flooded stairway and Pyramid Head attempts to kill him. After a few minutes, sirens sound in the distance and Pyramid Head descends the stairway, removing the water.<ref name="Well Played analysis">{{cite web|url=http://www.etc.cmu.edu/etcpress/content/silent-hill-2-doris-c-rusch|title=Staring Into The Abyss – A Close Reading of Silent Hill 2|date=2009-03-10|work=Well Played 1.0: Video Games, Value and Meaning|author=Rusch, Doris C.|publisher=ETC-Press|accessdate=2010-08-28}}</ref> James does not meet him again until in Brookhaven Hospital where Pyramid Head knocks him through a safety railing and he falls below, sustaining injuries. Pyramid Head does not pursue or continue the attack.<ref name="PH Allure 2">{{cite web|url=http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/issues/issue_112/1372-Seeing-Red.2|title=The Escapist: Seeing Red: The Repulsive Allure of Pyramid Head – Page 2|author=González, Christina|date=2007-08-28|publisher=[[The Escapist (magazine)|''The Escapist'']]|accessdate=2010-08-04}}</ref> Later, he stalks Maria, James' companion who closely resembles his wife, through a lengthy corridor. As James flees into an elevator, the doors shut before she can join him. He struggles to open the doors to save her, but Pyramid Head kills her. However, in the [[labyrinth]] beneath Toluca Prison, James finds her alive and unharmed behind a locked grate. She displays a memory that only he and Mary shared, before trying to [[seduce]] him. He leaves, promising to find a way to her, and discovers that Pyramid Head walks a corridor nearby, now carrying a spear. James reaches the room behind the grate soon afterwards, but finds her dead. Pyramid Head makes his final appearance just before the final boss, where two Pyramid Heads take part in the encounter. They kill Maria yet again and after pursuing him around the room for a while, both commit [[suicide]].<ref name="Well Played analysis"/><ref name="Alexander analysis">{{cite web|url=http://www.gamesetwatch.com/2007/07/the_aberrant_gamer_sundering_the_mind.php|title=Column: The Aberrant Gamer - 'Sundering the Mind'|author=Alexander, Leigh|date=2007-07-19|publisher=GameSetWatch|accessdate=2010-08-04}}</ref>
