Tips on getting past dubstep man
I seem to be stuck on the dubstep/disco head monster portion before getting to Theta. Anyone have tips on getting by him?

Don't look at him. Crouch and walk backwards and try to keep your gaze on the floor, Occasionally peeking behind you.
From what I could work out, if you don't look at him he won't attack you, minus some scripted scenes.
Try not to bump into him though.

When you see him, turn into a wall, wait for the shaking to stop a continue on your way... but sometimes running like no tomorrow works too

This is probably the first game where tucking your head into a cornor right in front of an enemy will keep you safe.

Just run man. Make sure you don't make a wrong turn or run into him. He'll constantly stay behind you and teleport/blink a couple of feet away from you. There's even enough time to reach the valve to lower the ladder and then climb up it if you're fast enough. The second time in the bridge area you just run around him in the bridge then run all the way up the stairs. It's scripted so he stops chasing at the top of the stairs.

This is actually really easy, run and follow the red lights on the floor, they lead directly to the escape pod.

Exactly what they said^^ To know EXACTLY how to get through the ship read This
But again if he sees you and gets close just stare into the wall or floor and wait for the shaking and the sound of him to go away then continue.

i had a little issue with him. he isnt hard to avoid as he can be easily be outrun by you but he is quite a pain in the rear end when he sees you. trust me there are more monsters that are worse or just as bad as this one later in the game :steamhappy:

I actually figured out that not looking at him is the key - he won't attack you when you're not looking, even if you're inches away!
Thanks for all the tips, I appreciate it

I actually find this to be one of the most effective ways to shake off one of these guys that are chasing you. Find a wall or corner, look down and into said wall/corner, and wait for the shaking and wierd voices to stop. Just dont move or make noise, and keep the flashlight off when one is around.

he can still mess you up even if you don't looking, just don't get cornered. If he's at least a meter away he'll lost track of you, but he may stumble at you when wandering around and it won't end well.

I feel so dumb for not realising this... I tried creeping at first then I was like GTG K THNX BYE and ran for it xD

Yep read This.
Same walkthrough I used to get past this part along with the "If he sees you and gets close stare at the wall!!" Tip lol :duke:

PS. It's a little confusing, but just try to remember the way they say to go, I managed to make it through the whole ship without dieing. I'm sure you can make it. Good luck. :D
