There are 2 types of monsters in the current version of Dark Hours Prologue
  • The "Hidebehind", the dark tall figure, is evil but doesn't like strong lights (see below for more details)
  • The "Statues", that move when you don't watch them, like the Weeping Angel of the tv show Doctor Who||
A patch will add a third one, I wont give any spoiler on it for now, because it doesn't spawn in the current version

About the Hidebehind:

This one doesn't light strong lights. The strong lights in the auction house are the ceiling lights!
So when he chases you, run under a ceiling lights to make him disappear! It ll give you a little bit of time to try to get your objectifs rights

Dont forget to switch back on the circuit breaker at the beginning and to switch lights on wherever you can (in the boudoir, in the showroom, in the director s office) to give you more spots were you can escape from him. We have also added a photo camera that can flash the monster to make him disappear!

You can also manage to hide yourself to lost him
You can hide in the lockers, and under the table (crouch then go under a table/desk), he normally won't see you, if you're hidden

Beware, dont trust the corridor's small lights or your flashlight, the hidebehind is not affected by them, they are not strong enough

But how do you counter the statues while doing the final vault hacking with only 2 people playing, if you have to look at them to stop them? A duos backs get turned to do the final hacking together, statues kill both of you easily.

One technique is to "kite" them far away from the vault, so you might want to do the vault in two times.
1. enter the vault room and open the vault door
2. when the statue get nearby in the room or close to the room, try to "kite" them far away. Maybe try to make them come into the "boudoir" and the close the grate, and run fast to the vault room again.
3. Take the crown, and run to the exit. Don't forget there is a key to open the exit door.
Since recently you can also try to trap them behind the grates, it will take more time for them to come back to you.

These statues are quite something :p Well, actually, we’re aware of the issue (it seems you’re not the only burglars who has faced this problem), and we will work on fixing it in an upcoming patch to prevent this kind of situation from happening again.

Just now played with a group of 3, and the hidebnehind never showed up. When/where was this supposed to happen?

The monster is intended to appear once the power cut is triggered, at the start of the level. If the Hidebehind didn’t show up at all during your game, it was likely due to a bug I think.
