Amnesia: Monster Types

[COLOR=‘DarkRed’]Amnesia[/SIZE]

So I’ve been noticing that many people post in forums asking what type of monsters and how MANY Amnesia has.

For what I’ve seen, I believe there are 5 types:

First monster – Servants/Grunts: They’re the main monster so as well the more common one. They have a severed/tortured jaw, a demented left arm with claws and ‘reptile’ boogy eyes;

Second monster – Brutes: They’re the second monster that you normally encounter and they’re faster than the Grunts. They have a ‘smashed’ abnormal face, a bloody blade IN their left arm and lots of nails in their legs. (which actually makes me think about Frankeinstein monsters but whatever);

Third monster – The Water Monster (I call him “Splashy”): He’s an invisible monster that can kill you only when you’re in water. He’s attracted by sound and movement. (I’d suggest something to throw and distract him from your path. Smart way. );

Fourth monster – The Shadow: An unseen force. Its sole purpose is to guard the Orb that Daniel took from the burial chamber and has killed numerous people to achieve that end. It is not seen as a physical being, it’s described as a huge sluggish mass of darkness and leaves behind a fleshy damaging substance over anything it touches. Pic of the fleshy thing: https://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20101217222138/amnesia/images/b/b1/ShadowResidue.jpg (It is disgusting, I know);

NOW the FIFTH monster is actually found in the game “Amnesia: Justine DLC” and is more seemed as a tortured prisioner.
They’re skinny and have a bloody wheel around their neck. Their face is actually very seemed at Agripa’s Lol and they drag with them a prison chain iron ball if I’m not mistaken. Their sounds are like… seems like they’re being strangled or even like they’re in need of air to breath. (In my opinion sounds more like an old man having a heart attack after a “good time”…).

Actually for what I’ve understood, they’re not really monsters. They’re 3 of the characters that are mentioned in the game (Not gonna spoil for you saying who) that were tortured by Justine – the character we play with -. Justine for what it seems and as the story explains? It’s a woman that was born with mental problems, so she sees who she tortured (that are important people or were…) as horrible monsters that want to kill her for vengeance. (So yeah she sees them in a distorted way, making them seem like monsters because she’s frightened).
I haven’t found many pics of it yet, but I’ve been able to find one where it can actually be rather visible: Pic: https://fc08.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2011/106/7/4/amnesia__justine__ohshit_by_deejaycannibal-d3e3k4o.jpg

So yeah, that’s pretty much like it, hope I helped for who wanted to know. :>

I actually don’t like much scary games but this one drove my attention. Even if I can’t play ANY horror game alone.
But anyways, why not share some games that frightened you most? Or even say or show some of the monsters that creeped your nerves out?
We would appreciate it.

THANKS~!

[COLOR=‘DarkRed’]Addictional Note: Whenever I watch someone play a game as such, I normally keep distance for safety not only for me but for the player because I don’t wanna kill anyone with my screams. :stuck_out_tongue: I normally am embracing a pillow that actually helps to ‘suffocate’ my scream. LOL.[/SIZE]

Is it true that you can´t kill them, but only run and hide? O_o …just asking…

I haven’t seen anyone asking how many monsters Amnesia has, and this thread is so useless there is no word for it.
If anyone would want to know the monsters in Amnesia, why not check the Wiki?
The water monster is named Kaernk or Water Lurker.
The Shadow isn’t a monster, it’s the “mother of us all”.

Yeah unfortunately you can only run and hide, you can’t attack any monster in this game.

Yeah. And it scares the shit out of you, when one is hunting you.

I HAVE seen and no it’s not useless. Maybe for you is but not for many people.
And because the Wiki only talks about the Shadow and the Gatherers (Grunts and Brutes), doesn’t talk about everything. Mostly talks more about the story and about the main characters, what exactly happened, etc…

The Wiki explains everything.

get it

I have read it. Thank you. Lots of times actually.
If you want to make people know then start your own thing, not going around telling people what is that or whats not. Jesus

Lol, I find funny when some glitch happens and they get stuck somewhere. :>

…and I thought scarrier games like Silent Hill saga doesn´t exist…I was wrong…

this is a pretty good way to ruin the game a lil

Oh, you can attack them by throwing chairs/bottles/barrels at them.
But it only makes them find you faster.
Note: I didn’t say attacking them actually hurt them. It doesn’t.

Yeah. By throwing you make them angrier but also gives a little… “escape window” so you can have more time to run. Which unfortunately… sometimes it even makes it worse because it makes the monster chase you faster, Lol.

Well, theres a lot of games you just have to choose.
And it doesn’t mean it’s scarier, that depends in each player view.

What about the walking Statue?

Took me a little while while to find this post again:

Lol, I heard you can use the something to block their view and their won’t “see” you.

yeah, you can pretty much just go into a semi-dark area and pick up a box or barrel, then hold it in front of you. it apparently decreases their chances of seeing you by 30%. it’s because the game automatically awards that bonus if you’re hiding behind an object when a monster is searching for you, so it’s basically an exploit.

He probably means the drawers in Daniel’s room.

Ways to distract/get away from monsters (that I know about):

  1. Barricade a door with a lot of props.
  2. Enter a cutscene and they will not care.
  3. Hide.
  4. (If you got balls of steel) Jump on it’s head and it can’t hurt you and will dance! :smiley:
  5. (For the water monster) Throw a object in the water far away from the location you are going. As said in the OP.
