Immediately before you enter the carousel to battle, stop andlook around for one of those black small baby ghosts that arerunning around. Use the "red liquid" on it and the gamewill think that you used it on Cybil.

Its recommended that you run on theoutside second row closest to the entrance. Stop running as closeto a horse as possible. You should see her sitting cross leggeddirectly parallel with you. If not, run again. Immediately runbehind her, get in position, and hack away. You will get abouttwo hits if you use the quick tap attack. She will get off herhorse. Run away and repeat. It should take six or seven attacks.A FMV sequence showing Cybil getting frustrated with the pistolwill appear. She will then try to strangle you. Shoot her withthe hunting rifle to finish the fight.
