Easiest Way To Defeat Aka Manto (Tips + Guide) (27 Step Process)

No one cares for an intro so I'll just get right to the guide. This guide is best done if you know the map already!
***IMPORTANT***
=Some useful tips if you don't already know them!=
-Aka Manto WILL REMAIN SLOW if you are NOT seen by him, OR the Mask. (Being seen by him when grabbing the cables doesn't count, as it is inevitable.) ***EDIT***: *I noticed over time he slows down to a walk if he has not seen you in a while.*
-Aka Manto CANNOT go through a door if there is no portal in the room (excludes while in a chase, or the door is left open).
-When he is close, go to the edge of a corner. He will walk right past you if he is coming towards you.
This also works when the Mask detects your location. (If going for the Escape Artist Achievement, I don't recommend doing this unless you're experienced with this glitch).

*I paused my game to prepare myself for each step.*

Also, for those who have GMod, there is an Aka Manto NextBot, and it can be just as scary on the right map!

@Orphan Murderer
Yeah, he moves randomly across the map. He typically lingers around the 2nd and 3rd floors, but will teleport at random to a portal close by your location. Once I was in a chase with him and mid-chase the red text appeared, signifying that he despawned, and a moment later he popped out of a hallway I was running by, continuing the chase. I nearly shat my pants! So a lot of playthroughs for this game and guides like mine, DO have SOME luck involved, as Aka Manto has some of the most random map roaming methods I've ever seen. There are many ways to do it, but this is the way I found to be most useful, especially for beginners, and being able to prep myself mentally before each step I did, helped me out a LOT. Good luck in future runs!

okay now i know what i do in japan if a monster pops up

i'm a big chicken so i hide in the vents a lot to avoid chases, but i hate how the game doesn't have a save feature :[ i can only get to step 7 without dying, and i try to navigate so i can learn the layout of the map but lose my focus when in chase. the way aka manto de-spawns after end of chase is kind of glitchy and it makes trying to avoid him even more difficult when i don't know where he is ;-;

actually dont

Tim Cheese 27 Oct, 2023 @ 7:01am

btw also a tip for people if finding it hard just hide in a locker mid chase it works

Skeledon 24 Jan, 2022 @ 6:19am

ah thanks for the answer i just wanted to clear that :D

If he is already in a chase with you, I don't know if it works. I know it works if he is just wandering the map looking for you, and it also works if the mask sees you and calls for him. I had it work several times with him at slow speed and fast speed, but I gotta say the slow one is so terrifying since he eyes you down the whole time he is going by. I did it on accident once as I turned on the staircase hugging the wall and stopped as soon as I saw him and he walked by as if I didn't exist (minus the staredown). Try a couple times by getting the mask to see you and pray he comes from in front of you (the corner side), instead of behind you. Once you get the glitch to work, hopefully it'll help you out! If you're still stuck I don't know how else to help besides a visual demonstration over Discord.
