Here are some rules to follow if you want to succesfully hide.ĭo NOT, under any circumstances, turn your lantern on. (Or run, if it spotted you already.) Hiding lets you (obviously) hide to avoid the monster searching for you.

When you hear a monster spawn(indicated by a low growl or other inhuman noise), then that's your cue to hide. If you are reading this section, then that means you just failed miserably to hide or run from a monster(just kidding). (It's easier to press J, but you can do it this way if you want to access the journal while in the inventory. Let's you access the journal by clicking on the red book. WARNING: If the oil in the lantern is completely used up, your lantern will turn off and you can not turn it back on until you use an oil jar. If you don't have any tinderboxes, you will obviously not be able to light anything. Used to light candles and other light sources.

It is wasted quickly if you keep it on all the time, and you'll quickly find yourself without light whne you most need it. TIP: Make sure you have oil in your lantern as much as possible.

Once you have aquired the lantern, use the F key to turn it on or off.

WARNING: Do NOT throw an object while an enemy is searching for you. Use the R key to rotate an object you're holding. Use the LMB(left mouse button) to interact with objects. TIP: If you sprint while crouching, you will stand up. Use the Q or E keys to tilt left or right, respectfuly.
