Strategic Countermeasures per Enemy
Stalker: Avoid eye contact and approach corners slowly with the camera angled downward.
Hiders: Use a fire extinguisher, taser or gun, or lure them onto a bed by pulling the Bed Monster.
Ghost: Deploy a taser or gun; keep distance; observe door motions and white particles.
Head Banger: Offer coffee, or let it leave; otherwise shoot it to bypass window block.
Bed Monster: Feed Maple Syrup, Transplant, or Organ to make it vanish; remain out of its red zone.
Mass of Eyes: Do not stare at the ceiling; symptoms include “Don’t look up” warnings and altered lighting.
Tendril: Complete the correct surgical sequence before the timer expires; avoid using weapons that worsen the situation.
Shapeshifter: Taser or gun down it quickly; multiple players can cooperate without weapons.
Camera Figure: Repair cameras or switch away from the feed before it triggers a jump‑scare.
Which Creatures Pose the Greatest Threat?
While all enemies require vigilance, the Bed Monster stands out for repeatedly draining sanity and ending patients outright. The Shapeshifter’s sudden transformation can spawn emergency events. The Tendril’s failure guarantees a patient’s death, making timely surgical response essential.
Best Practices for a Successful Shift
Choose classes with strong anti‑sanity perks or weaponry such as guns and tasers. Maintain situational awareness of enemy spawn points and use environmental cues—lights flickering, broken cameras, or sudden door movements—to identify threats early. In a high‑pressure shift, prioritize clearing enemies that threaten patients before attending to other tasks.
