·Multi-source verified (85/85)

Since combat is not an option, mastering stealth and distraction is crucial.

  • Door Barricades: Use heavy objects (crates, barrels) to barricade doors behind you, buying precious seconds if a monster is pursuing.
  • Throwing Objects: Pick up and throw small objects (rocks, bones) to create noise and draw a monster's attention away from your path.
  • Slow Door Opening: When opening doors, do so slowly and peek around the corner to check for threats before fully entering a room.
  • Sound Cues: Learn the distinct sounds of each monster type and their proximity. This is your primary warning system.
