Monster Survival Guide: From a solo-player's perspective

The solo mode is definitely not intended to be the main game for these devs, but since I know some people play solo, I might as well try and use my knowledge from playing a lot alone to help. This will be edited over time as I get time to do it, I be busy with work so not all will be done ASAP.

Monsters in order of wiki(from this page: Entities[content-warning.fandom.com]

Streamer

This dude is very deadly, but very dumb, he is able to be pushed if you shock stick him, so post recording try to kick him off a ledge of the boat or the cave maps, in the factory use the windows to jump through him, he will run back and forth between them if he tries to get to you.

Snailman

Snail is the easiest to survive, but don't take him too weak to actually be a threat, a group of 3 or more, and you should just record as you walk away. However if it is 1 or 2, it is smart to record purposeful damage as he does so little, and also he is an easy dance recording.

Snatcho

Snatch is a deadly one, but easy to handle with smart play. ALWAYS HAVE A FLASHLIGHT, he will be impossible to survive without one, as it isn't reliable for map lights to remove him. Although I have never seen him get near the diving bell, so if you can record him from there, he won't be a threat. Otherwise, if he is a good distance away, you have a flashlight, and can record him, he is a great source of views.

Whisk

Whisk is great to find, he may do lots of damage, but he typically will never hit a player who knows what to do. Simply move to the side once he starts running, he never will hit you if you do. He also takes longer to start running the farther away you are, so if he is a good distance away, feel free to record for a bit longer than normal.

Big Slap

RUN AWAY, big slap will get mad fast and if you can't get to the bell before he catches you(HE WILL CATCH YOU), you are dead. Big slap gives hella points though, so if you can record him from a distance DO IT, he is a big threat but worth it if you can pull it off.

Slurper

Patrick as I call him is really just playing into how gamers just don't look up, so learn that skill. He tends to appear in certain areas moreso, but he can appear in so many places its just smarter to look up before entering a room, and always remember to do it even if he wasn't there before. I've seen a slurper spawn in front of me before, and so he may block a previously usable door and get you if not careful.

Gundog

This dog is scary, he is very very deadly, but try and keep in mind he loses his lock on fast, there are a lot of weird structural bits he will lose lock on from in halls, use those in chases, he will be a bit easier to handle if you do. This dog is definitely scary, but he can be managed if played carefully, and remember that he can teleport near you sometimes, so don't ever let your guard down if you see him.

Bomb guy

He is not a big threat, just record him from a distance, or get up close to start his self destruct and run away. But just know that at the time of writing this I think his last location post self bombing will still make the "enemy nearby" noise that most monsters make if you come back to that area later, so if it happens don't worry unless you see something.

Knifo

Knifo is a big threat, and will get you if your not careful. Knifo can jump, don't try and hide above them, Knifo takes around a third of your health, try and always stay above 1/3rd if you want to take self damage, as Knifo randomly appearing may insta kill you then. Just be careful and shock stick her if you want a bunch of recording time + an easy dance moment.

Spider

This dude isn't too deadly, remember his spit does no damage but the webs can seriously slow you down, just record and be safe.

[Screamer/h3]
This guy is free views and a dance, and we love him for that :3

Barnacle

DEADLY, record from a distance if you want to live, he ignored my shock stick before so DON'T TRUST IN SHOCKING HIM. If you see him, stay away, and leave if he is too close to your bell.

Flicker

This dude is deadly, I've never gotten attacked by him but seen him ONCE on screen. He will randomly make weird glitchy noises, if you hear them, stay away from lights in the map. He will randomly appear if you get too close and if you stay in his area for a few seconds he will trap you looking at him and kill you, but know that more glitchy noises happen the closer you are, so use that to protect yourself. Don't try to film him if you want to live.

Eyeguy

Just don't shine your camera light or flashlight in his eye, otherwise this dude is mega chill and a huge amount of points and while it is risky, you can safely get a dance recording with him.

Maiden

THIS DUDE SUCKS PLS LET SOLO PLAYERS DO THE CAPTCHA, IN MULTIPLAYER KEEP HIM THE SAME BUT IT RUINS RUNS TO SEE HIM.
Ok so I have some ways to mitigate how this dude kills solo runs. First get to the diving bell, while I have seen him get in it before, he struggles so much and if you die you keep your ♥♥♥♥ at least since you died in the diving bell. Next, pray monsters spawn near you and record them, he may block the stairs also and if he can you basically get a free wall against more agile enemies. But overall this dude is just a run killer, I hope the devs change him in solo as it really would make the game 10x more fun for me, as most monsters have some sort of outplay that isn't just sitting in the diving bell for a bunch of time.

Snatcher

Deadly, shock stick is best form of defense here. He is a good amount of points and big so it's easier to get a dance in, but try and be careful. Also if grabbed try to do it near a ledge in the cave area, he will throw you down and won't be able to chain grab you, and while the climb may suck at least you live.

Ear

Wiki just gave me new knowledge on this one, supposedly being a classic annoying youtuber is the best defense, SCREAM AT THIS ♥♥♥♥♥ AND HE RUNS AWAY. Way better than just being careful like my tip would have been, but hey being sneaky does help against this dude if you are playing late in the day/have family nearby.

Slime

I have currently not many good tips for this dude, try and use the physics engine to get up high as he can't jump well, and that is my best tip, but remember he doesn't kill and him grabbing you will make him run off, so if you want to not deal with him for a bit, maybe just let him grab you.

Harpooner

Dude hits with his body like a truck, but his harpoon is weak, if you get his, a wall of any type can make it detach after a few seconds, and this dude also has glowing eyes, so it is easy to notice him and watch him in the dark.

CamCreep

Never seen, wiki has conflicting info, will update if I actually notice him ever.

Puffo

Snail 2.0 here is a safe boy to record, and he is an easy dance too, but don't be too comfy with him, he does a ♥♥♥♥ ton of damage compared to snail and is not something you wanna chance in risky scenarios.

Mime

Shock stick insta kills you, don't use it, he is slow and can just be avoided. He may be creepy but he isn't too deadly. Just keep your distance and DON'T LET HIM GET YOU, if he does it is instant death.

Button Robot

He is an ADORABLE BOY, this one is easy views and an easy dance, don't hit the button and he can't hurt you, in fact he heals my soul seeing him so like, best monster?????

Worm

Record and dance to this dude, but don't let him grab you without a shock stick, he will never let go and is SUUUUPER annoying if you want to move anywhere after getting touched, but he can't directly kill you at least.

Fire

Record from a distance and stay away, the fire deals damage fast and this pyro shoots it through walls, be careful, keep your distance, and just record and leave once you have enough footage.

Shroomer

Can't appear in solo, since his spawn item kills you if your alone instantly, just record the mushroom item and don't pick it up.

Voiddrone

Saw him for the first time today, did nothing since he was far away, I don't got tips rn unfortunately.

Knifo EX

Not seen yet, but hella hyped to see ngl.

Snail Spawner

Not too deadly, just record him and remember that each snail is a new monster for the camera, so he can give massive amounts of views if you wanna risk the horde he can spawn.

Infiltrator

Not seen yet, but in solo if you see another player, it easy to say it's this guy, so be careful.

Arms

Dude has a great song but he isn't deadly tbh, just keep your distance and use his song as a way to tell where he is without your eyes.

That is all for now, but as I learn more I will try and update this to be better :3
