the Librarian

[ComsumerOfAss]

I am having a serious problem with the Library level in Metro 2033 redux. The librarian tries to kill me every single time even though i did what miller said, since it attacked me, I shot at it. What I need to know is, is it possible to kill the thing, and if so, what must i do to kill it?

Grenade them.

Get your spacing right, too far, they will chase; too close, they will swipe at you. Don't lose eye contact until they retreat.

I finished the level this morning and finished the game right now. You have to keep your distance and move slowly. Too close and the librarian will attack and too far, it will run towards you and will get too close and then will attack you.
Keep staring at it and when it comes close take one or two steps back. It will display some aggression and walk away. Keep staring at it for a bit more and then walk away facing it.
Do not turn your back towards them, they are too fast and will attack before you could pull the trigger(or maybe it was just the VSYNC).

Sneaking will also be helpful at some places, keep your flashlight off and that will allow you to get a bit closer to sleeping librarians. I had trouble with a sleeping librarian at a tight spot, so I sneaked close to it and dropped 2 grenades, they did their job.

LOL great.

I got through this chapter in 5 tries. The last sleeping librarian caused all the trouble.

Which difficulty were you playing at?

The last one before finding the D6 folder is one of the easier ones, just stay crouched, go around the right side, don't step on bones or metal fences on the ground. Once upstairs you'll never wake him when crouched.

In my case he kept waking up after I dropped from the stairs. I'd then follow the standard staring procedure which worked, but then he had nowhere else to go, that area was pretty tight. So, as I would walk towards it, it would simply turn back and attack.
I got tired of this routine, I didn't want to kill monsters or people if not necessary but I had to kill this one. So I just threw two sticky grenades and they killed it.

yes you can kill them. In ranger mode its super easy. About 6 shotguns headshots and its dead. On normal mode it takes a lot more which makes it a lot more difficult. To avoid them attacking you you have to constantly look at them until they turn away. When they come closer you ahve to step back but keep looking at them. The first time i played metro 2033 i killed them all because i didnt understand that i dont have to^^ With the super shotgun its pretty easy although it took 20 bullets i think....Ranger mode makes the game much cooler but also easier in my opinion

The compass directions are driving me batty in this level. I get to various points and the compass just goes in circles. I have gone up the stairs and the game saves a checkpoint but after that it is all downhill; suggestions welcome...
