If you have already seen the Creature in-game, then skip this section!

The Creature is a monster that will stalk you throughout the game. You cannot kill it, but it can kill you in 2 hits.

It can hear, see, and smell, so be careful when it is here!

As a new player, you, the reader of this section, you should remember that the more you advance in the game, the more deadly the Creature is!

The creature has this appearance:






Another screenshot that has been shot while I was actually BEHIND the Creature, because it is still as stupid as hell:

First, remember that the Creature doesn't stay spawned for long periods of time: at a certain point when it chases you, if you manage to escape it, it will simply dissapear, and spawn back later on.

As I have already said, the more you advance in the game, the more deadly the creature is. This means that when you make progress through the game, one of the points to remember about the Creature is that it will spawn more often than before.

When the Creature spawns and that you are not far from it, but still unseen by it, you will hear a slow heartbeat.
VERY IMPORTANT: Not hearing the heartbeat doesn't mean it didn't spawn, as you hear the heart beat only when it is NOT FAR!

If the Creature spotted you, then you will hear a fast heart beat. This is the moment in which you MUST stay as calm as possible (in real life) to keep your concentration on saving your life (in the game).

I'm going to make it fairly simple: to avoid the Creature, just hide in bushes, behind trees, ect...

Tip from Floater:" If you're lost, or are in a location you have seen the creature before, and you need to check your map. Find some bushes and crouch first. The little jerk really likes it when he can catch you dangling off a cliff with your face buried in a map."

Tip from SomeOldGuyAtABAr : "Another thing worth mentioning is that if you see no wildlife(bugs,birds,bunnys etc) the creature is nearby"

Thanks for the tips, Floater and SomeOldGuyAtABAr! ;)

VERY IMPORTANT: The Creature CANNOT go inside houses, or any human shelter: you are completely safe from it in these.

Then, I am going to tell you something that is almost NECESSARY for your survival:
- Mental Stimulant
- Brain Emphasis Drug

Both of these medicines have the same effect in the game, except that the Brain Emphasis Drug makes the effect permanently.

The effects are that if you crouch, and that the Creature has already spawned (even if you don't hear the heart beat), you will see a little "interface" (which looks like the Creature's face), which will tell you wheather you are well hidden or not, and the distance in between you and the Creature. About the hiding part, the HUD thing will be in white if you are hiding well. If you are spotted, or not well hidden, it will turn red. Very simple. About the distance, the more the Creature is near you, the more you are able to see the HUD thing. This means that if the HUD is almost transparent, invisible, it means that the Creature is far from you, but if it is very clear, then, it is near you.






There are two Fungus that you can use to synthetise the Mental Stimulant, which acts for about a day in-game:
- Grey Shelf Fungus
- Pearl Blue Shelf Fungus

By the way, if you see the HUD blinking, it doesn't mean anything: it is just an ANNOYING bug!

VERY IMPORTANT: When I tell you to synthetise the Mental Stimulant, you musn't use both, you have to only use one of these ingredients. In other words, there are 2 different ways of making Mental Stimulant: either with Grey Shelf Fungus, or Pearl Blue Shelf Fungus.

I wil talk about the Brain Emphasis Drug in the next section, which is completely dedicated to it.

There is one thing that is very important to know when you play this game, about the Creature that to make sure that you see it, I made a whole SECTION to tell you!

You remember the heartbeat I was talking about?

Well, if you use some types of speakers, which are found in a lot of computers, laptops especially, you might not hear it: the sound effects would not play at all!!! Even when you watch videos there is this effect, I have compared, I watched a video in which a guy says he hears a heartbeat, and I couldn't hear it, and when I put on gaming headphones, the heartbeat played, but when I put them off, and that I replay the sequence, I couldn't hear it at all!
So be careful when you play, and try to play with headphones if you think you need the heartbeat warning!

This drug has the same effects as the Mental Stimulant, except that it is permanent.

The ingredients are:
- Trumpet Mushroom
- Sponge - like Fungus

VERY IMPORTANT: Contrary to Mental Stimulant, you HAVE to use both ingredients to synthetise the drug: this is the only way to do it.

You have been spotted. What should you do?

First, one important point to remember: NEVER run away from the Creature if it has spotted you!
The reason for that is that if you run away, it will also start to run to you, and it runs much faster than you...

What you should do about it is to walk backwards while looking at it: it will simply walk to you instead of running. Just be careful about your surrondings: do not fall into water, do not hit a tree, ect... So you should often look behind you to see your situation when you walk backwards.

If you manage to stay alive for long enough in this way, the Creature will kind of get bored and go away, and you should use this time wisely to go hide.

There is one key element in this kind of survival: Distracting!

If you are walking backwards, try to pick up some sticks so that they burn: this is going to "scare" the Creature, and you might need to throw it so that. Remember that throwing the stick is something that I still haven't experienced, but read on forums. But don't worry, if you just hold the stick, it might hesitate to attack you.

Also, to distract the Creature, you can be hiding, and throw any item that you can pick up on the ground: the Creature will run to the place it has landed on.

Also, you can run into a shelter if you are attacked: remember that you are safe in there!

Finally, there is a technic that I don't recommand because it is still dangerous, and like the throwing the stick thing, I have only read this in forums, not experienced: When you see a cliff, when you are escaping and that the Creature is going to attack you, just jump from it, the Creature might not follow you. Also, remember that it may or may not work!


Also, about houses, or any human shelter: If The Creature is here (I don't know if this efffect only happens if it has spotted you, but I have experienced this 5 minutes before writing this), and that you go into a house, The Creature will simply run at its fastest speed around the house, or near the house, running in cirlces in other words, until you get out of it: The Creature won't despawn in these cases, and you WILL have to get out anyway...

It is no secret that there are some people who think that the Creature is too scary. I myself was afraid of playing because of that, back then. Of course, I still didn't want to try to remove the Creature from the game, as it is a core part of the gameplay. For those of you who are in this category, let me tell you some tips to be less scared of the Creature!

1) Travel on shores!
The Creature always spawns inland. When it will spawn, you will have a little time to go hide, but the reason why I say this is that it will make you feel safer from the Creature. When on the shores, just relax (though you should be aware that you may hear the heartbeat at any moment, just more rarely)!

2) Craft the emphasis drug as fast as possible!
The game will leave you a few in-game days before making the Creature spawn. Use this time wisely to quickly craft the emphasis drug! With this drug, you really will feel less stressed, and it will be much easier to escape it!

3) Simply remember that the Creature is REALLY stupid!
Remember that screenshot?



Yeah, now you know: its AI is stupid. Make fun of it!

4) Show the Creature who the boss is!
Run towards the Creature, with a stick! Scare it with the fire! Control it with the fire! Make it go away with the fire!!!

Here are all of the Creature's screenshots I have! Enjoy!

I would like to say a big THANK YOU for reading this guide!!!!!!!!!

Soon, I will add screenshots for better understanding of this guide, and please, remember to tell me anything that I could do to improve this guide, as this is the first one I have ever done!

Thank You again!
