Every tips in Outlast.

I see a lot players drain their batteries for no reason or are too scared to pass even on brightly areas :P(Saying)

Now..Some or every tips I heard are posted below here.


Tips on how to save batteries:

1.If you are on area that has lights do not use Nightvision
2.If you found a locker to hide, enter it and do not use nightvision, and full your volume and listen to enemy's movements, activity such searching lockers or beds.
3.If you have no batteries, do not get alarmed, you can still look in dark areas but not 100% effective. You can only see dark areas 5 feets away from you...
4.If you have no batteries, return back and search for batteries. If you cannot find or too afraid to go back, re-load the game to previous savegame.
5.Batteries glow as blue, even in dark rooms. This also applies to documents too.
6.Normal camera without Nightvision switched NEVER drains the batteries. No matter how long you use it, they just never drain batteries. They will only drain during nightvision time.


Tips on how to get notes: (They are bit important for me, on what Miles thinking because he is quiet person, apparently his mouth is crapped so he cant talk.. :P)

1.If you see weird words on walls,floor, and even a lot blood, you first time encounter enemy, dead bodies, pull the camera on normal vision and record and the note will be added. Just like how you feel, imagine you are reporter and you see weird things, and saying what the .... is this, then pull your camera and record ;).



*SPOILER!* How to know when enemy spawns:
(Only for players who are veryyyy afraid to continue their progress)

1.You walk, running to a location, BUT!!! Game freezes!!!For 2 seconds, after that it works fine. Why is that? Enemy spawned! Thats a sign. It could however friendly A.I spawned as well, you just dont know..It either can be enemy or friendly...Freeze, works fine next, enemy walks.
2. Movement, growls...If you have subs on, and enemy spotted you, he will speak like this:
"Lets play. You and me." etc...

Tips what NOT to do:
Do not "Save and Quiet" because there is no save system in game. Only checkpoint system which is named as "Saving..." in-game. But if you continue your progress and no "Saving..." has appeared and you decide to leave, too tired, forget it!!! Save and Quit will not save the game where you are!! Remember it. It could be frustrating.. Unknown if developers will fix it or not.

Run while you are in dark area and there is enemy already there. Enemies can hear you running and will go to your location, thinking he heard something. Just walk slowly..very slowly..use nightvision, if no one is found, zoom it! Zoom does something! Developers made "System limitation" which is used to remove area with its objects and A.I ONLY when you are too far. They will re-appear once you are close to the place. Zooming will do the place to re-appear. Too smart Red Barrels Games, too smart ;).

Do not wait for the enemy to leave the location. He just wont, he will be on patrol system once he lost you...If you are on dark area, just walk slowly, run if needed.




Thats all, I will edit it once you found some other tips and do not ideas. Thanks, hope it helps ;)

The Music. Once an enemy gets near you, or has sensed you and, trying to find you, the music will play (or change), and when he is chasing you, it will get louder and more intense(just like Left 4 Dead)

Closing doors behind you is important, but always scan the area and leave at least one door open as an escape route, plus, since they just break down the doors, you should plan your "Door Closing". If you are trying to lock them, you must close the door once they are in the room you want them in.

For the enemy spawning: your main character will also start breathing much faster and freaking out because of the approaching enemy. This paired with the change in music will gives you an idea of what's coming.

The illiteracy in this post is scarier than the game.

I got better tip: Are you scared? Change difficulty level to normal, mute sounds, disable fullscreen, play very loud music, and just run :D xD

Just to add another tip.

There is a way of filling up your current battery.

Whenever you hit a checkpoint, just "save & exit" and continue the game to refill your current battery.
