Chipping hammer is your best bet. Most times they come up pretty good.

Was the self leveling concrete put down to fix a floor that was grossly out of level or just fill in small gaps?

If it was to level the floor , wouldn’t you want the new hardwood to also be level?
Either way if you want it off it should come off the same as the time.
Or am I missing something?

Thanks for the opinion Dave, but I can't just replace the tiles with hardwood. The hardwood would not be on the same level as the two adjacent rooms. Also, the original floor, beneath the leveling compound, needs to removed as it is not suitable for nailing the hardwood on to.

Rotary hammers has scraping blade attachment which should work also. Directly chipping could be overkill. Scraping blades are available even for a reciprocating saw. Just depends on how much force your floor system needs. Definitely eye protection and think gloves. Once I damaged my knockle very badly from flying tile.

One small suggestion: Self leveling composites must be cut and repaired with a burnable repair product.
