Deterrence & Temporary Repulsion

Learn how to deter and temporarily repel the beast in Amnesia: The Bunker. Discover strategies for using items like flares, grenades, and the generator to survive.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    The primary mechanic for deterring the beast is maintaining power to the bunker's generator. Explore the bunker and find fuel to keep the generator running.
  2. 2
    Darkness significantly increases the beast's presence and aggression. Always try to keep the generator on and the bunker lit.
  3. 3
    Use flares to temporarily scare off the beast or light up dark areas. Be aware that flares are a limited resource.
  4. 4
    Grenades and gas grenades can be used to create diversions or damage the beast, but they are also scarce and should be used judiciously.
  5. 5
    Tripwire traps can be rigged with flares, grenades, or gas grenades to create defensive measures. The beast will investigate activated traps.
  6. 6
    Other items like the wrench and bolt cutters can be used to overcome environmental obstacles, which may indirectly help in evading the beast.
  7. 7
    Constantly assess the opportunity cost of using any item, as it might be more valuable in a different situation later on.
Tips
  • Rats can be scared away with flares or by setting their corpses on fire.
  • The pocket watch indicates how much time is left before the generator fuel runs out.
  • Always be aware of the beast's proximity; it is often hiding in the walls or will emerge to explore areas.
  • Hiding or maintaining distance from the beast is crucial when direct confrontation is not an option.
