Learn about Anomalies, Ghosts, and Dark Ones in Metro 2033. Avoid electrical attacks from Anomalies and hostile Dark Ones.

Anomalies are glowing balls of energy that possess an electrical attack. Approaching or attacking an anomaly results in instant death.

Ghosts can only be observed when your flashlight is turned on. Walking into the silhouette of a ghost typically results in death.

Dark Ones resemble grey aliens with entirely black, almond-shaped eyes, pale and completely hairless skin, and elongated arms with three-fingered hands. Dark Ones surrounded by a red aura are hostile and actively attempt to kill you. Always run away from hostile Dark Ones. Dark Ones surrounded by a white aura are friendly and aim to assist you. It is safe to approach friendly Dark Ones.

Tips
  • Avoid all contact with Anomalies; their electrical attack is lethal.
  • Use your flashlight to reveal Ghosts, but be careful not to walk into their forms.
  • Distinguish between hostile (red aura) and friendly (white aura) Dark Ones to survive encounters.
  • Always retreat from hostile Dark Ones.
  • Friendly Dark Ones are safe to approach and may offer assistance.
