How to escape from Shape?

[Ripoli]

Can someone tell me how to escape from the shape?
He is getting me every time.

me too, but it seemes as if you can hide from it. Once its summoned though I think its always a threat

If you do not generate much sin The Shape does not appear, in case it appears anyway for some special mission, I believe that the best thing is always run. But keep in mind that you must know where you are running and that you can always find someone on the road. You can hide but for a short time, I think that somehow he can feel you when he is near to you or when you walk near red doors.

I have uploaded a video playing alone and making noise, maybe it can help you: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1554180975

Yes, we're supposed to investigate and not get caught! So try sneaking (less sinning and less physical encounters with the adults!) to buy more time before the Shape comes after you AND so you'll have more health/stamina to run away if he does. The Shape always knows your general location but the stealth mechanics are still at play. You won't be able to hide forever but clever pathing and being sneaky go a long way.

Co-op: He's only coming after one of you at a time so use those mics and communicate! In-game messages tell you the names of the locations so learn them to help the club. He'll knock down anyone in his path that he isn't after but won't capture them. That means - (hint hint!) he is physically walking around even if you can't see him with your eyes open.

The Shape is not psychic. In addition to its own senses, it also gets information from "sin reports" that occur anytime an enemy sees or hears you. They will also report your aggressive actions on them once they recover from them. Finding bodies also results in a sin report; so there is reason to hide them in dark places where those bodies won't be seen.

Personally I have found that climbing is the best way to get out of reach from the shape, many of the rooms underground have spaces you can climb up into that is far out of reach from the shape, and once you are up there the shape will either A: begin climbing, but this takes it a bit allowing you to plan how to run away, and with the fact that it takes some time to climb back down it gives you a good bit of time, or B: it will be unable to find you giving you a safe spot to hang around in

Flashbangs do stun him other than that ankle you need to do id's run and parkour. He is a very slow ar vaulting so go through windows and oiy another window on the other side of a house to grey a nice head start. Also if he is a good distance away quit sprinting and let it regenerate. Also if you wouldnt mind adding mess that would be great.

ye once he comes out he just doesnt ♥♥♥♥ off and zero way to avoid him except running stealth before the shape great! stealth while its active completely pointless.
currently playing a map and if one of us gets the shape on them it doesnt leave even if it catches that person .. :/

As mentioned, the Shape doesn't appear until your team has generated enough overall Sin to summon him. The guaranteed method of escaping the Shape is to avoid this scenario at all costs.

Once summoned, the Shape will pursue the active player with the highest Sin. For the most part, he appears to follow the same rules as other enemies regarding visibility, with an added factor: Your current Sin contributes to your "visibility" for the Shape. At 0 Sin, you will more or less be invisible to the Shape, and are safe from interactions with him as long as you don't bump directly into him. Anything higher though, and the Shape will be able to narrow down his search area.

It seems that with enough Sin, the Shape will simply know where you are. You can usually outrun the Shape but climbing and jumping between high points will typically get you the most distance. However, as the developers spot trouble areas for the Shape to maneuver they improve them over time. Don't be surprised if he can jump to or climb on a spot he couldn't previously! Additionally, if you're in an out of reach area but the Shape has line of sight to you, he will attempt to knock you out with his ranged area-of-effect attack. You must leave the area he uses this strategy.

Also, because the Shape will pursue the player with the highest Sin, it can be an effective tactic for the hunted player to keep his distance from the rest of the team. This will keep the largest threat away from the rest of the party and even if a teammate is subdued by a Sleeper or Lucid it will considerably delay the Shape on his way to convert them. This gives your teammates additional time to rescue someone before they get taken by the Shape.
