Theta Labs bs

[Tiomaco]

Managed to lock the long arms guy on the Medical Lab room (next to the Security one) so I could explore in peace and the bastard magically left the place to come and hang out with me.

I guess he's like the Alien in Isolation which gets "summoned" to show near you when you run but still, there was no beliveable way he could've left that room.

you do know monsters can open doors right

[Wilkespre]

No they cant open doors if they are locked doors. Unlocked however they can. I also did it too. Locked him in the medical lab and it somehow managed to ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ escape with the doors still being closed and locked.

EDIT: Forgot two things.

[Kommissar K]

Well, I would image the creature still has some tied to the WAU, and at that point, the ability for a door to remain locked is all kinds of up in the air.

I wonder. I did the same thing but it didn't get out for me. Altrough not that I explored a lot after I trapped it, since while I was searching for a way to fix elevator I explored it all with the monster on my tail.

Well that might explain it. You didn't stick around long.

Don't question what I am also about to say next but..

I litterly sat in the security room near the medical lab so I could trap it in one of the rooms. Only when the medical lab trap was a success, I waited a while longer and it suddenly spawned out of the lab. My Guess is it moves through doors like a ghost when not active.

OOhhh. I also did wait in the security room until I got the monster trapped in the med room. I also prayed that the monster wouldn't magically appear somewhere on my way to the elevator.

I walked outside for a bit with no problems, it was only when I ran on that tunnel area with the collaped corridors that he spawned near me, guess it's defaulted to do that but it just sucks after trying to trap him for so long.

Sometimes you can hear crawling noises from the ventilation system near the ceiling. I guess the monster uses the vents to move around. Well, it probably just respawns in reality, but I think that's how it can be explained in the game. Perhaps the noises can serve as a warning that the monster is gonna teleport.

[MrBananaGrabber]

At least one monster can officially teleport. Which Simon doesn't think is impressive or news worthy enough to mention to Cath.

I suspect this is a case of cheap tactics to keep the game scary/challenging, rather than official teleporting.

7 Years later, I've just gone through this scene.
I've locked the guy in the med room and I just run for the elevator, he haven't spawned and I though it probably frictional have done it right.

But no...
As soon as I've started to mess around with the locks, here it comes full speed and hit me :D
