Okay so let me just say so far I love this game. So I have been playing the game solving the puzzles, collecting oil and tender boxes and such. And wont you know it I entered the infamous storage room. So I had been through all the other rooms looking for the elevator parts and I saved this room for last. I reluctantly entered the room after stocking up on oil and what not. So I entered the room, lit the passages, blew up the wall and before you know it I come to door with a loud gurgling noise behind it. (Now you must know this was the first time I had really encountered a monster, there were the invisible water things before this but those don't really count). So for some extremely stupid reason, I opened it. So there it was, whatever it was. I really didn't stop to examine this thing so needless to say I [censored] ran. And i didn't stop until i found a little space where I could hide. I crouched and turned off my light and waited, and waited. After a long while I got up and noticed that I had hid in the room with the missing parts I was looking for. Assuming I had waited long enough I went back out side. He wasn't in the immediate area so I went into the hall and low and behold here he is. I ran back into the little hiding room I found (This time closing the door). And once again I waited, but this time I heard him break down the door. So I waited again, this time even longer. Eventually I went back outside the coast seemed clear so I hightailed it back to the exit. I made it pretty far from my hiding spot and made it past the exploded rubble. Guess what happened next, I find another one. Now by this time the extended time in the darkness combined with looking at those things my sanity is now at ..... So i ran back into a dark room, I know I cant find my hiding spot, my lamp is out of oil, I'm in complete darkness and that thing is coming after me. So I am thinking of just saying screw it and run passed it through the door. What i need to know is that if I get to close to that thing can it kill me in one hit?

tl;dr Can mister I have no lower jaw kill you in one hit?

Also to those who have completed the game or gotten further than I have NO SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!

Edit: My question has been answered now this is a general amnesia thread.

Man up pal charge in and face that thing ( That's what I would so ) It wont kill you in one hit I'm sure Im looking into this game now, let me know what happends if you go face to face with the thing.

I'm not so sure that's a good idea.

Dang looks like a scary game I just finished Dead space 2 it was a thriller for me, alan wake wasnt bad, but that looks alot worse. Good luck wish I had some tips. Cheers :foodndrink:

This game make dead space 2 look like my little pony.
Also tip for the wise always keep 1 spare oil thing.

ok..............i bought this game when i came out. i loved the resident evil games, silent hill, penumbra, system shock 2, etc. i had no issues playing those games at all. i CANNOT finish amnesia. i literally have to stop after 20 minutes to refresh myself and im moving so slowly and cautiously that ive only past a few puzzles. this game is freaky as hell.

i havent played dead space 2 but if its anything like the first game its boring as hell. im not sure which game was a bigger disappointment compared to its hype.........dead space or assassins creed. :rolleyes:

Who cares if it kills you? Respawning is better than wasting all your oil.

haha Im going to order this game looks awsome I have to agree with the guy who said who cares about dieing thing but It looks like an awsome game, Get some friends over and have a awsome time.

I could use a good thriller game.

I could not agree with you anymore than I already do.

It's a bit too late for that.
Also I thought you auto lost all your oil on death dammit.

Dead Space 2 wasnt awsome not boring at all! Very good story they really worked hard on the campaign If your not sure rent it, the game gets you hooked the moment you start and does not end though there where a few mission I just wish would end,But the ending,lets just say,

I tried cleaning it all up but there was just so much so i had to buy a new controller.... (Not for real though)

Brotherhood was a major let down (For me anyway)

You don't lose anything when you die, you just restart at an earlier checkpoint.

I haven't played the second one so I wouldn't know. But please don't let this turn into a dead space 2 argument thread.

I wish I would have known that earlier.

So should I run past it?

Yeah but its a lot scarier when you don't know that. If you play the game to win with as much oil as possible then go ahead and throw yourself at the monsters. However to truely enjoy this game don't. Its a huge thrill escaping with very little oil and not dieing, than dieing 5 times running around carelessly. As you probably know by now.

Yea your probably right. So im gonna try and hide when I can get on the good computer :dry:

It will have to hit you multiple times to kill you, however it does run slightly slower than you. So if you can get around you should be fine, just run really fast and don't make a wrong turn.

Okay thank you for clearing this up.
Now let this turn into the general amnesia thread!
