Death Tips are helpful mechanics in Dark Deception, which can be seen after dying to any enemies or traps. The information given focuses on strategies, enemy mechanics, and the environment, typically relevant to the level the player is in.
Monkey Business[]
- There are a lot of doors in the Hotel, maybe some of them open?
- The monkeys can always see you. Don't stop running!
Elementary Evil[]
- Agatha can teleport through closed doors. This takes longer than if they are open.
- Agatha won't pursue unless she has direct line of sight. Use that to your advantage.
- Agatha can teleport in Zone 2. Watch out for her cutting you off.
- Agatha can hear you opening/closing doors, be aware!
Deadly Decadence[]
- Watch where you are going. Keep an eye out for traps!
- The watchers can still kill you if you're looking at them, so don't touch them unless they are stunned!
- The watchers are faster than your normal running speed, use Speed Boost when you have the chance!
Stranger Sewers[]
- Use the telepathy power to spot the real Dread Duckies.
- To avoid being cornered, open as many sewer doors as you can.
- You don’t have much time. Hit ”F” as fast as possible to recover from the Dread Ducky stun attack.
- Stay on dry land to recover your speed. Sewer water makes your speed boost slower!
Crazy Carnevil[]
- Even cars can feel fear, use this to your advantage!
- Don't waste your Primal Fear on one Clown. Let them group up, and then break them.
- Don't be afraid to switch floors mid-collecting if things get too hot. Use the space given to you.
- Once one Grem Clown out of the same swarm spots you, all of them will be aware of your location.
- Your trusty mallet can get you out of a pinch, but don't get too cocky and go on a rampage.
- Goliaths will replenish beaten Clowns back to full numbers. Use their tactics against them!
- The more Goliath Clowns you destroy the more minions they spawn, beware!
- While Primal Fear may feel safer, it's often not to destroy all the clowns.
Torment Therapy[]
- Don't always do as you're told. The Reaper Nurses should not be trusted. (hospital tests)
- Use double doors to reveal the location of cloaked Reaper Nurses. Be careful though- the nurses can hear you open them as well.
- Watch your step. Sawblades in the floor can be difficult to see.
- Listen for skating sounds to determine if any Reaper Nurses are close to you.
- Use teleport to move between ambulances and stay out of the Matron's reach.
- You'll need a syringe to knock daze Reaper Nurses into the Matron.
- Check your tablet to see if you are within each Reaper Nurse's view. Avoid being detected.
- Use Primal Fear to stun the Reaper Nurses.
Mascot Mayhem[]
- Watch out for bombs tossed by Lucky clones in the air.
- Penny’s eggs will stun you. Try not to get hit by them.
- Don’t get too close to walls. You never know which walls Hangry and his clones will smash through.
- Hangry gets tired after running for a while. Use that to your advantage.
- Lucky uses speed boost too, so don't waste your speed boost power. Save it and use it to escape Lucky's pursuit.
- You need to find a way to lure Joy Kill in front of the active crusher piston.
- Don't get greedy. If you hear Joy Kill jump, stop what you're doing and get some distance.
- Try not to die next time.
Bearly Buried[]
- Watch out for bear traps! They can be hard to spot in the shadows.
- Trigger Teddies are bombs. Don’t let them get close to you.
- Curiosity killed the cat. Avoid rooms filled with Trigger Teddies.
- Mama Bear is faster than she looks. She will sprint if she gets too close.
- Remember that Trigger Teddies are bombs. Use them to damage Mama Bear when she is out of the pool.
- Mama Bear's blood lust messes with the vision of her prey when she gets close.
- Mama Bear is invincible when she is in her spiked ball form. Use speed boost and teleport to stay out of her reach.
- Hit Mama Bear with one of the boulders once she pops up.
Powers/Shards[]
- The stun orb has an audio timer. When the sound stops playing, enemies will be free to move again.
- You can teleport through the enemies and traps. Change the teleport distance with the Scroll Wheel.
- Use the telepathy power to spot the real Dread Duckies.
- The watchers are faster than your normal running speed, use Speed Boost when you have the chance!
Controls/Mechanics[]
- You can make 180 turns using the middle mouse button.
- Once you have 75 shards left or less, your tablet will point to the closest one.
