When you open the door, he will be there, so a good way to avoid him there is open the doors wich go around the main hall, and then open the big door. When he sees you, run inside the room and close the door, then the next door, etc, so you will effectively gone around him while he is opening the doors and you can go inside the area in wich he was. After that, you just need to find a ladder. Theres only really 1 room with something interesting in it but when you interact with the computer you will attract him.

He's basically an Amnesia monster, if you look at him he finds you, he reacts to sound, he isn't blind like other enemies. Stay in the dark and don't look at him.

yeah, I had trouble here too, I was able to find the ladder, but it was a close call. and in another thread about the monsters been annoying, I also say this monster has to be added to the list. I find it annoying that the monsters are placed in areas that can either block you outright, or be extremely annoying. I personally feel the level design doesn't really help that much either.

He's really not that bad when you figure out his mechanics.

Yeah, just arrived at this part...he IS annoying as hell XD
Tried to outrun him a couple of times, since when I actually try to HIDE, he finds me every time..and it's not like he just disappears, like the monsters in amnesia.

So it's basically trial and error, if you find the right path, you're lucky, if not you're f***ed

Wait a Ladder? Ok, there is the Big Door with the many Locks you open and where the Monster is right behind. If i open the Door The Monster comes out. After this Door there are a Couple of Rooms. Is the Ladder somewhere in the Rooms or do i need to open the next Big Door? I can post a Screenshot if this helps to understand me. =) And YES, this Monster is annoying AF!

This might help:

I just ran in circles until the next door opened..... wasn't that hard. I think that witch like monster was way more annoying. Only way I found around it was being knocked down.

I found that looking at him makes him slower or stop attacking you altogether but he'll just stay there standing still if you're standing still but have him in the corner of your vision. Doesn't really do much. I also noticed that he'll mostly run down a corridor as in if it's a straight corridor he'll run straight so if you crouch and walk around a corner he'll keep running the way he's running. It's very odd...

When you open the door just crouch in the broken corridor beside the hatch. He'll walk past then you crawl past and continue on your way. There's only one room you can visit optionally but it's literally one line of text and then you open the second hatch and run forward.

I made it and also i finished the Game. =)

This sucker is very annoying! The stupid part is if he gets you the game will reset you at exactly the same spot you got caught and he will be right there next to you again-what's the point???? They need to fix this

Tau monster is extremely easy, all you have to do is throw an object and wait for him to rotate to the object - then sprint to your objective, if he ever chases you sprint around a few corners and then just make a random turn and crouch - he will lose you, then continue crouch walking to your objective
I've tried every strategy in here, this horrible thing just is impossible to get past. I DID find a safe place (the desk in the map room can be hid under and he'll never find you. Almost certainly an Alien: Isolation shoutout.) but for most purposes it's useless. Here's the rundown:

1: Opened the door for the first time, hung around. He saw me, I backed away while staring at him until I got around a corner, then looked directly into the wall. Died -- but this one was my fault, not a strategy failing me.

2: Opened the door the second time, hid before he saw me. I did this for all subsequent attempts other than attempt 3. Let him go around the circle a couple times while hiding under the desk. I sprinted out when I thought he was in a good position to be avoided (just going into the room with the mussed up floor). Ran directly into him, turned around and tried to lose him and get closer to the door by using the escape strategy in post #13. Died when he came up behind me.

3: Tried the lead-him-on-a-wild-goose-chase strategy in the first reply. It seemed to work really well, too, until I opened the second big door and crouchwalked to a small dead end to wait out the lock sequence. About halfway through it, he came up and stood just around the corner from me. When it ended, I realized he was still there (blocking my only exit) and tried to escape through the door situated behind me. Got me from behind just as I went through the door.

4: Tried throwing things to distract him. Either something is wrong on my system or he (like EVERY OTHER ENEMY in this game so far) ignores any and all decoys. Sprinting seems to be an especially bad idea at any time, as I almost always immediately die when I sprint away from him: so it was this time.

5: Tried the strategy in post #10. He found me immediately as he exited his door. I crouchwalked backwards while facing him in a wide circle to my objective, only to realize that if I turned away to hit the door switch I'd be jellyman food and I had once again gotten myself trapped in a dead end with the bastard. Didn't end up mattering, after a tense ~15s standoff he just ran at me and ate me anyway. WIth me facing him, crouched, unmoving, at about 10 paces. What a jerk.

So I'm out of ideas. I need either a really strict strategy that is utterly foolproof or a really flexible strategy that can handle every possible thing I mess up if I apply it properly. Anyone have anything?

Same. I didn't have an issue with it. If it spotted me, I ran around until I could hear that he wasn't near or after me. I hit the switch that takes a while, circled around like three times, and I was done with it.
