Outlast – General Tips for any Difficulty

Here are some tips and tricks I want to share with you guys so your journey its easier and more enjoyable!

Firstly, collectables and recordings:

-Keep in mind that many of the secrets and lore of Outlast´s world is on the documents, so if you see one, make sure to grab it and read it, because, unlike other games, they usually tell interesting and mysterious things that might help you understand its story, the dlc and even the second game´s one.
-Unless it disturbs you, have your camera on as much as you want/can. Don´t worry, it WILL NOT consume battery unless its on night vision. The reason I say this is because it makes the game look matter(at least for me) and it records the important events + making you feel more inmerged in the game.
-However, I woudn´t recommend trying to find every single collectable in the game neither watch guides on those either(unless you are going for the achievements of course, in that case go ahead :)as it may get really boring, tedious and get you out from the tension and plot(I can tell you this as I needed them for the 100% of achievements).

Gameplay!:

-Many are the situations in which you are going to be chased and not no what to do, my tip here is to ROTATE:
1. Find a an object in the ground that is got a considerable size and is got two opposites sides to rotate.
2.Wait for the enemy to get near by and make sure he follows you by the side that you are on(e.g, if you are going to use a table to rotate, make sure that he is already by your side and that he wont turn to the opposite side)
3. Run the other side of the table and head to your destination, the enmy will still chase you, but you have gained a few seconds of advantage to do whatever you wanted to do.
I used this in my Insane difficulty run when I didn´t knew what to do, and because nearly in every part of the game you can do this(unless the parts of halways for example) this is a very good strategy.
-Other tactics might include the CLOSING TACTIC, closing the door in front of the enemy as soon as he is about to get you, wait for him to start punching the door and then run away; or the WINDOW BAIT, which consists of usingf a window to trick your enemy and vault just as soon as he has vaulted to your side(I do not recommend this because you are going to get hit almost certainly and a boss will one shot you in high difficulties.

Useful info about enemies:
-Enemies will punch a door 5 times to break it down and bosses only 2-3. Once its broken, you can no longer use it(use it wisely)
-No enemy runs as fast as you(not even Chris Walker), you always have an advantage on them of about 1 seond.
-Try to hide on the locker that is most on the left, as enemies will only check your right ones(hide on the last locker basically).
-Once an enemy sees you try to turn a corner and crouch behind an object or even at the end of the corner, you will be surprised as to how blind they are XD).
-Speaking about being crouch, you are not detectable when you are crouched, unless they see you of course, but your visibility is also very reduced(abuse the mecanic).

Those are some basic tips that can help you to beat the game or even at higher difficulties, any question/doupt feel free to dm me or comment 😀 I will be getting my last achievement any time soon(whistleblower on insane) for which I´l apply these tips.

Thanks for reading and have agreat day!
