is there any way to reliably avoid SCP-049 in single player

[Cloaker86]

he is so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ annoying to the point that im considering disabling him with the console

apparently you can skip him by going straight into heavy containment through the 106 Goo-pit, however, you'll also need a black hand to go through 049, and even so you'll still need to go down to his chamber to get the keycard...

i meant avoid him chasing me or just containing him all together, and also i do have a black severed hand so thats really the least of my problems

Pretty sure you can't contain 049.

Get as many achievements as you can in LCZ and go for omni card. Here's what you can do: 1. Get 1499 and use it's dimension as an inventory. 2. Search all of LCZ for various items to turn them into playing card/mastercard at 1162 (also try getting the black hand). Store them in 1499. 3. Go to 914 and put all of the card items that you have inside (should have atleast 25) and make them go through very fine setting (make sure you as many achievements as possible). Continue doing so until you have omni (should take like 3-6 times) and use 1499 to hide from 106 whenever he appears. 5. Jump in the 106 portal (that black hole on the floor) somewhere in LCZ. 6. Escape, if you are lucky you will appear at 106 chamber and you could contain him there.
This way, you can avoid 049 all together in a full playthrough. That's exactly what I did on my Keter playthrough here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JkFW7un0jmo

thats what im attempting, also i found out that 1499 doesent actually help to much with 049 and that its better to be used with 106

There aint a way to COMPLETELY avoid 049. There are ways to deal with the others, but at least 049 can be outrun. Make sure to break line of sight, if possible too. If you can hide in a cubicle or something, he may end up going past you if he didnt see you go to that hiding spot.

714 (the jade ring) can nullify his insta kill and render him useless enterly, but I think undertow knew this and made it to where if you stay too close to him for too long he will take it off. I don't think you still need this info but still, It may help someone else.

It's easy.
You just need these items:
- A Level 2 keycard
- Some Medkits (2 or 3. Usually you get 2 in LCZ)
- The Black Severed Hand (found in Dog area)
- Achievements. As many as you can, without triggering SCP-049

Optional Items:
- Gas Mask (Found in the Skull room and event room where Peanut snaps Scientists)
- Night Vision Goggles (Dog Area)
- S-Nav (Found in Peanut lvl 2 card room, or in storage rooms)
- SCP-1499 (Behind a Level 3 Door, Recommended, not needed)
- SCP-714 (In room opposite SCP-1499)

You don't need the Optional Items, but they are nice to have, especially if the Gas Mask and Goggles are upgraded with Very Fine (Blue Goggles have infinite battery). S-Nav upgrades on Very Fine to S-Nav Ultimate. It has infinite battery, SCP Radar and complete map.


Steps:
Part A.
1. Find and Open the SCP-914 room.
2. Upgrade level 2 card on Very Fine
3. Downgrade Mastercard with Course
4. Upgrade 4 Quarters on Fine
5. Repeat steps 2-4 as much as you want. This is infinite keycards.
6. Put all cards in on Very Fine. Keep repeating until you get an Omnicard. More achievements increases the chance of getting one. Exact chances are unknown.
7. Upgrade Medkits on Fine. They heal more and faster.

(If you have SCP-1499, dodge Old Man by putting it on. Otherwise bait him into a Tesla Gate or just run away until he gets bored)

Part B.
1. Wait until Old Man starts chasing you.
2. Let him catch you (playing on Safe, Euclid or Custom - no Permadeath Recommended)
3. Escape Shadow Realm. Use Medkits Immediately after escaping and hope it's enough.
4. You are now in Heavy Containment without disabling the lockdown or triggering 049
5. Find SCP-008, equip SCP-714 (if you have it), otherwise, use Hazmat Suit to recontain it
6. Now all checkpoints are unlocked and you can complete the game.
Note - If you encountered SCP-049's elevator, make sure you have the Black Hand.

And that's it. That's how you completely neglect seeing your local SCP Foundation Doctor.

If you somehow let the Doctor out while following this guide to do exactly NOT that, equip the ring and use SCP-1499 to run away from him, or just run using the Super Gas Mask
