When you begin, immediately move through the gated-door, and move immediately to your left, crouching through the broken gate.
If you wish to make a Speedy-Runthrough of this game, put all notions of Collecting the Journalist Notes and Documents throughout the game out of your head they will only waste your time. (A wiser choice would've been when Martin first finds you but I digress.) Unfortunately, this is the only courtesy you are granted in this game the only checkpoint you have is set when Miles exits his Jeep, meaning if you die, you don't have to sit-through the cutscene again.But its still a tedious chore to go through the beginning of the Game before any of the danger begins. When Miles finally arrives at the Asylum, the madness begins. When you start the game, you will of course have to endure the long and tedious cut-scene of Miles Upsur driving toward Mount Massive Asylum on the Mount Massive Trail. If you should practice enough, then you can try it on Insane Mode. Use that mode to practice all of my tricks and set them to memory. HOWEVER.for the purposes of this guide, I'd reccomend you first attempt to follow it on "Nightmare" Difficulty first the difficulty and 2-Battery Limit are the same as on Insane Mode. Now, once you familiarize yourself with the controls and are confident that you won't mess-up in action, it's time we got started. Q - to look back (left shoulder) - (I don't reccomend doing either it doesn't slow you down, unless you bump into something.) Left Shift + W - Run/Sprint (You'll probably do this the most.) Left Ctrl - Crouch (you'll be doing THIS even more so) Spacebar - Jump (you'll be doing that a LOT)
When against a Wall before an Intersection Į - to lean to the Right, to peek around a corner. (use with caution Batteries can be swapped out, even when Camera is down, and it is easy to hit the R button in panic, when reaching for the E button.) Left-Click - Interract with Objects open doors, pick-up items, and push objects (VERY important do not use an over-sensitve mouse, or one that is known to fail or not-respond while playing this game.) If you're to survive Mount Massive Asylum and the Monstrous, Mercilest, Massacre that lay before you on Insane, you must first familiarize yourself with the controls and make sure you do not get them backwards or mixed up the slightest error will mean death. On Insane Mode, he offers no curtesy he grabs you.you're dead. In lesser difficulty, you could escape Walker should he decide to punch you, or should he grab you, he might toss you away. But even worse than that, an encounter with Chris Walker on Insane is certain death should he catch-you. Every Varriant in this game can kill you with just Two-Hits, the second one resulting in an inescapable cut-scene. (Imagine my frustration when I had finally made it to the Underground Lab, only to be caught by the Walrider.)īut it gets even worse than that as the Varriants (Bad-Guys) can more a bit faster than in previous versions, their hearing is much better and they listen intently for your movements, and in some cases can see you, even in complete darkness.Being spotted can be a very bad thing, especially if you run and can't find a hiding place. Which means that if you die, at any point in the game, you are sent all the way back. On Insane Mode, you are given absolutely no checkpoints at all throughout the Game.
What comes next is what you must worry about. But this guide will be sure to put your mind at ease of such. At first that might alarm you, as there are many times where you have to sneak around in COMPLETE darkness, and the batteries run dry quickly. (And believe me, they slow things down a LOT.)įor starters on this difficulty, Miles can only carry 2 batteries at a time. It can an indeed get frustrating, as soon you'll realize that it took you 45 minutes to simply get to the area you were killed in, and will probably take just as long to get back, especially because the cutscenes cannot be skipped. If you have already tried, you must know by now how easy it is to fail at this, and how tedious it can become the impatience building up within you, causes you to be wreckless and make more mistakes. So you want to beat Outlast on Insane Mode and get that 'Lunatic' achievement, do you?
