We’ll rip off some heads, and even get a clown fired from his job.

Well… not my circus, not my monkeys.

So, let's the fun never ends!

One strategy to rule them all! 💪
This time, the map is simple enough that you can use the same strategy to beat every difficulty level.

From Standard all the way up to nightmare!

Once you get the rhythm down, it’s all about execution. ;)

The only thing that really changes is how you manage the limited batteries on the map and which perks you choose to run.

Master those two, and every difficulty becomes way more manageable!

Let’s start with choosing skills.


----------------------------------------------------STANDARD--------------------------------------------------




I think, it's one of the best perk for anyone just starting out on this map. You don’t have to worry about running out of UV, and for the first time in ages, there aren’t any long interactions, which means "Co-Worker" is pretty much useless here.





The second perk I’d recommend for beginners is "Inspired". This one lets you see all the remaining dolls on the map for a full 10 seconds after burning any of them on the altar.

* If you get more comfortable with the map, you might realize you don’t actually need to know the dolls’ exact locations. In that case, a great alternative perk is "Repellent", which slows down all nearby monkeys by 33%.




----------------------------------------------------- HARD--------------------------------------------------------



The same perk.




It's really easier to find new batteries in the basement with this perk. Of coure you can choose the perk which slows down minions next to you by 33% Your choice.





---------------------------------------------------NIGHTMARE--------------------------------------------------




This time, I recommend use the "Evader."
When you don't have any UV batteries, this perk can really save you. It gives you that extra bit of breathing room by helping you keep your distance from Azazel.

Another thing! Whenever the perk activates, you’ll notice a white glow around the edges of your screen. That’s your signal that Kai is chasing you. More than once, I’ve realized he was after me thanks to that glow long before I actually saw him or even heard him coming behind me.




Definitely a powerful skill! Especially, when every flashlight use counts.

"Fully Charged" is such a solid perk that, with a bit of good timing and quick reflexes, you can actually calm Kai down twice within 20 seconds!

When Azazel goes into rage mode and you decide to calm him, just wait to reload your battery until you’re right next to him.





Tips before starting the game:

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

b) Find about 1 hour for the game - Game can be time consuming.

c) Learn the map - Try to memorize the map perfectly, and you will move smoothly here.
Preparing
1. Collect 10 tokens in front of the altar.




2. Prepare 4 music boxes nearby the altar .




3. Put batteries in spots that make sense for your playstyle.
* You can skip this step on standard difficulty there is enough UV to fight with minions and Azazel.

The best place, where you can put them:

a) Near the altar
b) At the building entrance
c) By the tunnel entrances
d) In the basement under the hatch
e) Next to the carousel








!!!NIGHTMARE MODE!!!

In this mode you can find only 2 batteries at the same time!
The best strategy is to leave one right next to the altar and the other near the building entrance by the carousel.

These are the most strategic spots when things get chaotic.


4. Lay one head on the altar.



Strategy
1. Dolls spawn.

* At the very start of the game, there are only 5 dolls active on the map at once. After placing 1 head on the altar, that leaves you with four dolls to deal with.

* Each one always spawns inside a closed room.

a) Herd the remaining dolls into the area near the altar, specifically, the Clock Room.

* They’ll usually stay in that region for the rest of the game.

* Avoid going there unless absolutely necessary.




b) The best way to lure them is through the tunnel entrance that leads from the Clock Room side.
This is the long tunnel with a camera on the left side of the exit.

* It’s the shorter route.

* It’s also closer to the Clock Room.






c) How to lure the dolls?

* You can simply blow them up and drop their heads near the Clock Room.

* Use a music box to lure them into the area you want.

If you still have a problem with that you can check my video below:

2. Destroy 3 dolls (Progress: 3/10)

a) Put another 1 on the altar.

b) It’s best to calm Azazel down first, then go back to lure new dolls into the same area.

c ) Azazel calms down after a single stun.

* This is a good time to see how the second perk "Inspired" works and why it’s so useful for beginners on this map.



3. Now, 3 new dolls will appear randomly in the basement. Lure them back to the same spot near the Clock Room.


a) Destroy 2 more dolls and place again 1 on the altar. (Progress: 5/10)




b) Azazel now needs two stuns to calm down.

* Always try to stun him outside!

* The basement is confusing and it’s easy to lose track of where he’s coming from.

* You can also stun him under the hatch. it’s tricky, but I did it a few times!




⚠️ There’s also a safe spot that still hasn’t been patched. It’s located near the main entrance to the Clock Room. If you hide there, Kai won’t detect you. ⚠️






4. At this point, you should have 2 dolls in the Clock Room and 1 on the altar, that meaning you just need to lure the last 2 near the altar.

a) Make sure there’s a battery nearby.

b) Use the music boxes you placed earlier near the altar.

c) Keep Azazel as far away as possible. Ideally stuck him somewhere in the tunnels.


5: Destroy the last 5 dolls

a) Try blowing up multiple dolls at once. It’ll speed up the whole ritual process and save you some precious time.



b) Usually, this part goes quite easy. The map is really hard for him to move smoothly and he has a big problem catch you. Additinaly, whenever you destroy any doll, Kai always stops moving, because of rage. It gives us extra time to doing our things.

c) But if Kai shows up, just calm him down and dfinitely drive him out of the building, then continue destroying the dolls.

d) On the nightmare mode. First make sure you have the battery close to the altar!


6. You won! Congratulations!
