How to avoid the demons?

[EvecInverse]

It might sound pretty stupid but i just started playing the game an I´m in the maze right now.
What really bothers me that I keep just walking straight and happily into the demons because there aren´t any warnings that they are around. no sounds, nothing. the steps they make are quite loud but that´s it.. any tips?

Not sure how you do not notice the sound when a 2 leged demon comes in range it's very obious to hear.
the shadow spiders etc you need to avoid with agility or dodge o.0

Well okay, I do hear the steps but only really close and when the Demon is standing still I obviously won´t hear anything

There's music in Hell?

Move carefully, hide in those glowing blue holes if needed, listen. Outrunning - as you probably noticed - usually won't work.
The demon doesn't have eyes, use that to your advantage. You'll usually see her before she notices you. Turn around and sneak away then. Don't run as that's a sure way to get her attention.

I actually do prefer to play sneeky but I guess I wasn´t sneeky enough. So far only some nice demon butts has been seen

They even removed the butt jiggle physics, that's in the censored video set..

I hear steps all the time. I don't know if I have encountered a bug or not, but in areas were demons are about I hear loud steps as if they are on top of me when they aren't even near. Its made it really difficult to play properly. I've taken to just running for my life. Its got me to level 3 so far but now there are too many enermies to do even that.

If I'm not mistaken, the jiggle physics are actually supposed to be be patched back in at some point - it was just removed because they couldn't finish this "feature" before the release.
But there's already substantial jiggling on... other body parts 😉

You can also hide in the low poly body piles. Those are what you usually find after the maze.

Use a torch to distract them, another trick is to deliberatly get ones attention, but lead it back past an area you already cleared, hopefully passing at least 1 martyr, when killed, fly back to nearest martyr in soul form and leave demon in the dust, ONE area early on that was the only way I could move on and explore the area in a few minutes of peace.

Does the torch thing actually work? ive tried it and they just ignore the torch and keep coming after me.

if too close or your already detected it won't work, have to do it before your seen. Also, sneaking past may not be enough, have tpo hold your breath as well. If you can break line of sight you can hide behind stuff or duck into a hidey hole if any are around.
