A few words from me before we begin.

* I sometimes use my own screenshots from a previous guide, so if you notice the UV flashlight level in the top right corner, it’s because the strategic elements are similar to those on standard and hard difficulty or just I simply forgot to take new photos during the game. ^^

* Also I have used my own photos from the polish guide, but don't worry I translated every single word in the pictures.


1) I recommend using the abilities listed below:

Fast Worker - We’ll definitely need something that allows us to clean heads faster and bury bodies more efficiently.




Immune - Crows can be a big problem. There are a ton of them right from the start. Even halfway through the game, they can reach us quickly. However, it’s not always worth wasting UV on them, so it’s better to get pecked and still reduce your slowdown, especially when escaping from Azazel.





2) Tips before starting the game:

a) Play with headphones – It’ll be easier to analyze the enemy's position.

b) Set aside plenty of time – Nightmare mode games can be time-consuming.

c) Learn the map – Memorize the map perfectly so you can navigate smoothly between the building’s levels without getting lost.



Colours meaning:

Blue - keys
Green - cakes
Purple - bodies
Red - alcohol bottles
Yellow - batteries

1) Cake pieces:

a) Place 10 pieces of cake right in the center of the room, between the two exits of the building.

* This gives us quick access to lures all in one place.

* The mirror in the main hall never breaks, so you can immediately use it to jump into the second dimension from this spot.





2) Alcohol:

a) Collect 10 bottles of gin and pour one into the basin right away.

b) I couldn’t find 10 bottles, so I washed one head, and only then did a new bottle appear on the map.



(STILL NOT FIXED ^^)


3) Batteries:

a) Place batteries in strategic locations.

b) Standard mode gives us 4 batteries on the map at any given time.

c) Hard mode gives us 3 batteries on the map at any given time.

c) My suggestions for the most useful locations:

Translation:

* Blue squares: "There are coffins with bodies."
* Red words: "Main door in front of the building."








Translation:

* Arrow in the left: "There is a bower."
* Arrow in the right: "The gate leading to the garden."
* Blue squares: "The are coffins."







Translation: "The stairs leading to the first floor."




NOTE: In Hard mode, remember that there are only 3 baterries, so it's advisable to skip the first floor and the main hall of the building.

1) Searching and cleaning heads:

a) There are a maximum of 5 heads at the start.

b) After burying one, another appears in the second dimension.

c) Remember to refill the alcohol after cleaning each head.



2) Storing heads in a safe place:

a) Don’t place heads in the coffin. The noise from the body’s movement attracts ravens.

b) Remember which head belongs to which body. (You can use the victim portraits in the shed as a clue!)

c) Safety levels of locations:



Safe Locations:


* Shed – Even with the doors open, ravens don’t fly into the room.




* On the hedge near the gate - Crows are unable to steal the head because the location is too high for them. You can also lure them to a specific spot. There’s a limit to the number of minions on the map at the same time, so if some focus on the head, they will interfere less with your actions.







The crow can't steal the head!




* Location in Images #1 and #2 is the same place. The main entrance of the building is on the left, and there are graves on the right. As long as you don’t linger around too much, no raven will steal the heads from this spot.






* Isolated statue next to the fountain, very close to the main entrance. No ravens show up here!





Moderately Safe:

I recommend using this area only for temporarily holding heads. For example, if you plan to bury the bodies nearby soon. Leaving them unattended for an extended period increases the chance of them being taken by randomly spawning crowns.


* Barricaded entrance to the manor.




* Entrance to the chapel.






Unsafe Locations:

* Open spaces

* Mansion (unless it’s in the second dimension)

* Leaving heads near coffins



3) How to strategically place heads:


In the *Strategy* will more about the order of burying heads.


a) Heads for bodies near the front entrance:

* Regardless of the stage of the game, tuck them under the wall.




b) Body isolated by the statue:

* At any stage of the game, place the head a little farther behind the coffin.




c) Heads for bodies near the shed:

* Always store them in the shed, no matter the stage of the game.




d) Heads for bodies around the chapel’s descent:


Situation 1 and Situation 2:

* Situation 1: At the beginning of the game when it’s 0/10, you can leave the heads next to the coffin.

Translation: "There are coffins."




* Situation 2: Once above 0/10, I place the heads under the wall.




e) Heads for bodies near the pavilion:


Situation 1 and Situation 2:

* Situation 1: At the beginning of the game, when it’s 0/10. I place them here. As long as you don’t move around this area too often, you won’t attract ravens, which tend to avoid this spot.

* Situation 2: above 0/10 I place them here too, eventually if you afraid about heads you can also storage them in the shed, but remember that It is definitely farther.

1) The hedge to the right of the main entrance to the building:

a) Getting here is very easy.






* Translation: "Safe zone to move without being caught by azazel."






b) The entrance is also on the balcony above the main entrance of the mansion.

* Translation: "Stay here and look down."




* Translation: "Jump here."








* You just need to keep moving along the indicated path to force Azazel to move left or right. If you stand still in the middle of the hedge, Azazel will lose interest in you.

* From this spot, you can run and force Azazel to change direction.

* You can easily stun him in this area.



2) The hedge near the gate:

a) This is a 100% safe spot.

* Neither the crows nor Azazel can attack us because we are positioned too high for them. I have already mentioned earlier how to get here."

b) In the meantime, we can blind her with the flashlight.









3) Observing Azazel:

a) A very clever spot where you can perfectly see the lit entrance to the mansion and spot April flying out. You can quickly prepare for defense or simply escape in the opposite direction.




b) You can also position yourself by the fountain to observe the main door and the path to the fountain. You can see when the "bride" is approaching.




c) Stand in front of the doors leading to the garden. Close the door, and when April opens it, she slows down for a fraction of a second, allowing you to start stunning her.


Translation: "Close the door durring Azazel's furious."



* After stunning April in this location, I always escape through the building to the courtyard by the front doors or head to the hedge by the pavilion, as mentioned in point 2.

* This isn’t the safest place, but it’s still tactical.



4) Chapel stairs:

a) Using the Stairstacking technique, you can jump onto the stairs leading to the chapel.

* Stairstacking - allows for higher jumps than normally possible in the game.

* Just change the jump setting to scroll in the game settings and, while walking up stairs or small elevations, move the scroll wheel at the right pace (direction doesn’t matter). It’s also helpful to set up permanent running mode. The height or execution of the jump depends on the game’s FPS.

* It’s not easy, especially on single elevations like in this case, where there’s only one slightly raised stone from the floor.






Here’s a video demonstrating the process:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Awo3PLPda1U


* You can also use Stairstacking to jump onto open doors from outside near the garden (where the chairs are), making it so April can’t see you. However, this is even harder than in the chapel, and you might waste time and get caught by the demon.



5) Avoid these spots:

a) Don’t hide inside the building. It’s the worst place! You never know when or from which mirror Azazel will get to you.

b) Run far from the chapel when the demon activates. It’s a one-way path, and if you have to calm Azazel there, you won’t escape in time when his aggression level rises. (Unless you’ve mastered Stairstacking).

c) Don’t get caught stunning April far from the entrances between buildings at higher stages of head-burying. Your chances of escaping are slim.

* For example, near the chapel’s descent.
* Near the pavilion.
* On different floors of the mansion.



6) Tips:

a) Observe minimal movements on the map.

b) It’s very dark, and the demon is hard to spot. His movement style gives the illusion that he’s farther away than he is, especially for beginners.

c) Weather intensity worsens over time, making things harder.

d) Don’t stand still too much, as this attracts a swarm of ravens.

e) Never leave cursed heads in the human dimension.

How to Best Bury Heads?

Depending on Luck:

5:5
5:(?) = 5:(2:1:2), (5:1:2:2) etc.

* Make sure you have the correct amount of cakes, alcohol, and you know where you placed the initial five heads.

* For safety, leave one cake in the chapel in case you forget to refill the bowl in a hurry.



1) The first 5 heads

a) At the start, I recommend placing all five heads very close to the graves you want to bury.

(I already mentioned this during the head placement stage.)

* There are still few crows.
* We have UV this time to potentially repel stolen heads.

b) Take your shovel and think about the most sensible order to bury the bodies.





2) The last 5 heads:

If possible, save the following for last:

This situation increases the chances of successfully burying all heads in one go!

Bury them in this order.

- 2 heads near the shed
- 2 heads near the main entrance
- 1 head near the statue


a) Bury two heads near the shed.

b) Run with the shovel to the front of the building. Consider taking the route through the manor. The center of the hall connects the main entrance with the back. You’ll quickly find yourself next to the next coffins.

c) With a dangerous situation at 9/10, we will be very close to the last coffin next to the statue by the fountain.



What if things don’t go smoothly?

a) Interrupt your actions, calm Azazel, and return to the steps mentioned above. It’s better to do something slowly than risk getting caught while burying.

b) Do not force yourself to bury bodies when surrounded by crows or if you hear Azazel approaching.

c) Never allow a situation where you’re burying heads at 9/10 when the next coffin is far away. Azazel moves at three times the speed, and calming him won’t make sense. He automatically resets after a second!



3) How to cct effectively in a 5/10 situation.

* Do not attempt to look for additional heads when the demon is in attack mode.

* Keep a battery nearby for safety near the graves you plan to bury, or remember where the closest one is.

* Always watch out for crows! Only use UV on them if you are sure you have enough to calm Azazel. Remember, sometimes running from them is a better solution, and it will certainly make things easier with the perk we’ve set.

* Stay focused and try to minimize stress to better remember what you’ve done or need to do.

* If you can’t recall something, simply pause the game and think calmly.

* If you try to follow the guide and everything goes according to plan, you’ll see the following view. :)

The strategy is also suitable for the cooperations.

1) During co-op play, avoid carrying the same perks.

* One player should focus on burying

* another on healing

* a third on provoking Azazel

* the fourth on organizing items.



2) Listen to each other.

* Don’t bury bodies without informing each other; it will cause chaos.

* Definitely bury using the 5:5 strategy.

* In even 6/10 situation, Azazel is very annoying in multiplayer.



3) Tactically, on the hedge next to the gate, you can place the cursed heads.
They are not able to escape from this place.
