How to remove enemies (unfinished)

Do you have Swinophobia?

Note

This is unfinished since I did not finish the game and do not intend to. Therefore, I only know of the first bug I encountered and I don't know if there are any more later in the game.

Check out my other guide.

For Amnesia: The Dark Descent

Bugs! Keep this section in mind while playing! Read the locations of the bugs!

1. Factory Tunnels

Once you enter the Factory Tunnels and enter one of the rooms, it zooms in and you can't unzoom. An encounter was supposed to occur there, but it's purely visual. Be aware of this! Once you enter the Factory Tunnels, (After you fall down the Chemical Transporter), Save and exit, then restart the game with Monsters on and after you see the visual encounter by entering the Low-Temperature Storage Room, Save and Exit again and you can turn off the Piggies!

How to remove enemies

1. Go to your Games Library.

2. Right-Click on Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs.

3. Click on 'Properties'.

4. Go to the 'Local Files' tab.

5. Click on 'Browse Local Game Files...'.

6. Go to the 'entities' folder.

7. Minimize the window.

8. Go to your Games Library.

9. Start up' Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs'.

10. Launch the game.

11. Don't select a profile yet. (If you are just starting the game, make a new profile and then restart the game. If you are wanting to restart, delete the profile you want to use and restart the game).

12. Alt+Tab and go to the desktop.

13. Open the 'Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs' Folder we were using earlier.

14. In the entities folder, rename the 'enemy' folder to anything else.
15. Minimize the 'Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs' folder.

16. Alt+Tab and go back to 'Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs'.

17. Start up your profile and enjoy a piggie free game!

18. When you are done playing, (that session of play time), rename the file back to 'enemies'.

Sadly, you have to do this each time you play. Also, this just removes the 'enemy' entities. It does not remove the sequences. It removes child, dinkywrench, engineer, manpig, servant_grunt, tesla, waterlurker, and wretch entities. For example, when you go into the attic at the begining of the game, before/as you pick up the lantern, the children wont run across the hallway! That's because they are apart of the enemy folder!

I still look at this guide occasionally so if people comment fixes or suggestions they find, I will add them but won't confirm them myself.

For anyone who want to play with no monster in this game but other people said that there
are a zoomed bug in Factory Tunnels. I've come with the solution.

It's really simple, this is all you have to do :
- If your exploit was active/enemy are removed, save your game before entering the
Chemical Transporter" (the little elevator that makes you going to next level) ,
- Exit game, then re-enter the game with monster turned on and continue the game,
- This will spawn you in front of Transporter, enter it and proceed to next level,
- Go to 'Low Temperature' and VOILA, there he is. You've been encountered the visual
monster.

As usual, Save and Exit to disable the monster again.
I hope this helpful, and I really appreciate if OP was adding this to the guide.

Once again this defeats the purpose of the game but i never liked the pigmen monsters honestly. They are not that scary to me anyway probably the worst enemies in Amnesia Series.

Update :
Just want to assure and confirming that the game is "Completely" safe to play until the end of the story after doing my tricks below. No another pesky encounters that makes the game bugged. (Tested by myself)

So rejoice, for they who want to play this game but just want focused on the story :))

BUT I actually managed to fix it: when I went to reinstall it, I also went into the Amnesia save folder in Documents and deleted all my data. Then I just played through the game until just past the encounter with the zoom, then disabled monsters. I think you are pretty safe up until that point, either enemies are visual only, or are pretty easy to avoid. Not too bad, and avoids the most annoying enemy types anyway. Rest of the game ran fine, got the achievement. Thanks for the guide, I hope this comment might help someone else.

So even though I did not enjoy it nearly as much as the original Amnesia, I did first complete the game as intended. However, I didn't want to deal with it again on my archivist run lol. I was curious about the bug, so I tried it out and got the same result, it broke the game. I tried to brute force it, and keep playing the game to see if it might reset, managed to get rid of the slow and visual effects associated with the zoom; but the zoom stayed and it wasn't worth it. I also tried restarting the game, enabling monsters, etc, and the issue persisted.

[CDLClassEm]

Yeah no, this completely broke my game. It didnt even restore it to normal gameplay when I uninstalled and reinstalled. I don't recommend this!

[CDLClassEm]

I shut down the whole game so its a hard restart. That cutscene is so stupid xD Why cant I just get the achievements without the damn monsters, Amnesia?

[UncleGwen]

Hm, I have no idea. I still haven't come back to this game to finish it so I'm sorry this happened to you. They should reappear. By closing the game, do you mean tabbing out or shutting it down? I would try shutting down the whole game.

[CDLClassEm]

So I used this trick to get rid of the enemies (I was just running through the game to get the achievements since I had already played the game as intended, for all you saltmonsters) And when I got to cold storage, I closed the game, renamed it "enemies" (later trying just "enemy" as well) and restarted the game to play with the monsters back on. However when I get to cold storage, the monster still doesnt show up. Am I doing something wrong?

I've tried renaming it "enemy/enemies" while in the main menu and restarting, tried renaming it after the restart (and in the menu), renaming it something else, restarting, and renaming it 'enemy/enemies" while in the menu but nothing seems to be triggering the monsters back in my game.
