Advanced Creature / Monsters Guide, combat tips, unknown tricks - Lethal Company 

Fun fact about the little girl: She can be detected by anybody through the thermal camera if she's near one that the ship cams can see. Was pretty awesome when I could point it out to a friend who didn't believe me

I absolutely loved how my mind went to "Just accept death when you encounter a snareflee, there is no hope" and you just casually say "Just don't move and it'll go away". I was flabbergasted and dying at this.

14:20 everything about this clip is so funny. the coilhead suddenly appearing in the doorway while you're trying to ditch the girl. the way the bracken tries to creep up on you before just going 'nvm' and awkwardly floating into the abyss while maintaining eye contact. the coilhead teleporting across the gap 2 inches in front of your face. the girl continuing to circle the room and just watch all of this unfold in the background absolute hell on earth

For Jesters, if you can lure them to the main entrance before they get cranky, you can jump on top of them to boost onto the doorway safely and let anyone else inside escape while it's on you, then leave whenever you're ready

Something to note about most of the enemies in the game: They do not appear to actually have attacks/attack animations (the Thumper seems to have animations, but behaves this same way otherwise) -- Most everything seems to damage/trigger via contact (including the Bracken, as it will insta-kill you if it's forced to path through a player to try and get away). More akin to Super Mario enemies than horror enemies. Giants seem to be different since they have to actually reach to grab you, but it is still contact with their 'hand' that triggers the grab, so close enough.

Tip for giants. Have someone go on the roof of the ship and kite the around the oblong round thing at the front (opposite side of door). This will keep them fully focused on you and allow teammates to safely get back to the ship. Also possible with proper position to keep it completely motionless as well. More than 1 giant I have not yet tested.

For the worm you can counter it by turning straight around and walking backwards when it attacks and you see the dirt rise up. This is because the worm attacks in front of the player so the player will walk in the middle of it when it attacks. The worm does not attack when it is right under the player.

I've managed to stun a giant by pulling the pin on my grenade as it picked me up, I couldn't see shit but I could here the muffled screams of my friends yelling "OH MY GOD IT WORKED RUN" I managed to recover before big man did and made it home safe.

I also heard that the jester Ai will actually try to attempt to block doorways right before winding up, doing their best to keep players trapped.

Tips for Baboon Hawks: Baboon hawks only attack if their pack is larger than the amount of players. 2 baboon hawks will never attack 2 players (it will damage you if you get too close though) but they will attack 1. Secondly, baboon hawks actually have their territory visible by little shiny pebbles and they will bring dead players to this spot Lastly, sometimes baboon hawks can have an alpha that is noticeably larger and leads the other hawks around. Im not sure if they do more damage or not though :(

Tip for giants. If you don’t want them roaming close to your ship, turn the lights off! In my experiences, as their log states that Forest Keepers are curious creatures. They are attracted to the light. And will linger around it! So if you land on a moon when they are common. Turn those lights off!

Hoarding bugs always become permanetly aggrod when you steal from their stash

Something you didnt mention about the jester is that you can loop around them eternally by making him turn always by running by its side, this way it doesnt gain any speed and you can hold it in place without getting on stuff, this buys time for people to get out of the facility or to avoid getting killed until tpd

You can use the stun grenades after they've been consumed, and they won't stun anymore, but they do make noise and can be thrown up to 5 meters away. Not too useful in most cases, unless you're on top of the ship and can bait them to a safe side so teammates can get in, or by throwing it off a ledge somewhere and walk the opposite way. You can also throw and attach them to the roof of the ship etc. if you look almost straight up for some reason. You can use the ladder to get on the "antenna" of the ship and the giants have to cope and seethe, and you can pick the ladder back up once the ship starts moving. The amount of times something has been intentionally or by chance sealed behind a vault door, and someone removes the apparatus, "releasing the hounds", is innumerable. If you go on offense and use the ladder to get to the fire exit, ig you jump and left click at the apex, it can be easier for some, as it deposits you at the top, and you can jump move to the door. Be careful not to jump against the cliff, as I have lost a ladder by doing that. It just spawns inside the terrain and you're fucked. I wish the radar booster could be teleported (with both teleporters), since it's otherwise treated "like a player" and can be targeted by the teleporter. It's useless atm and no one buys it, but that'd make it safe to use, so you know it's retrievable as long as someone is alive, and would allow for "scouting" with the inverse teleporter once or twice per map.

Great video, I do hope they tune back the forest giant and thumper just a bit. The thumper maybe is fine, but when a forest giant is camping your ship there’s just nothing you can do but sacrifice a teammate to put it on cooldown.

For Eyeless dogs, I learned if you just keep using the clown horn the dogs don't know what to do about it and just bug out. Once you stop using the horn they will as usual slide attack the area you last used it.

That's insanity that you've amassed 220 hours, I got the game just last week and I felt like I was playing it constantly and have 20 hours.

fun fact: It may take 12 shovel to kill 1 eyeless dog but they can be one-shot by lightning the timing is a bit tricky tho but a few managed it

for the earth leviathan the best tip in gam and in practice is to RETRACE YOUR STEPS the AI trys to predict where you are going to go so if your going forward and the queue pings for the worm just walk backwards and you can dodge it

Side note to giants: the methods you suggested are the best. Ideally, teleporting or finding things to hide under is the best way to go. If for whatever reason you get found by them while returning to the ship with an item and no temmate to tp you, you can (unless it got patched) crouch tap slowly away while under the giant. Their hitbox on the crouch level isn't big enough, so if you continue to tap the key slowly away from them right beneath them, they can't get you. The reason you can not fully crouch under them is their hitbox crouch level is like a stick figure beneath them so they can grab you. I wouldn't recommend this. it's more of a no stamina with heavy items kinda of a thing to do. If you manage to tap far enough slowly from them, they will continue to follow you until you find something to hide under. (Such as the ship), and then you are good to go.

You’ve got better solutions for the snare flea than my friends and I could come up with. If we didn’t have a weapon we would just guide the person with the flea to a pit and make them jump in

The blobs get faster the more you hit them btw. Forest Giants need to be nerfed but you can also smack one to drop somebody and stun it apparently. Also they dont eat multiple people sometimes??? Not sure. Ive seen it happen both ways. You can also stay safe from Ghost Girl on the TOP of the ship.

With the forest giants I found a safe way of dealing with them, have a teammate climb the top of the ship and lure them, they will focus on you while the crew can safely enter the ship

I've had a spore lizard charge me once. Usually just let them make their sound and wait til they walk away, but this one just decided to run at me and bite me.

Thank you for your coverage!! Nobody else has gone this in-depth about the mechanics of the game.

THIS is the kind of video I was looking for. Finally an educated and experienced player giving us tips, not some run of the mill, clickbait advice. Edit- Also by any chance, do you play with others or just with friends? Is it possible to play with you whenever there is a spot?

Great guide, I knew most of this but the tip for titan at the end is a game-changer, every single time I've gone to that map we had dogs camping the staircase outside lmao

Was waiting for a video like this. great vid and straight to the point.

Thank you for making this video. Your discoveries with/without your friends help me understand my own thoughts and ideas about gameplay strategies for Lethal Company. I just realized that there are multiple ways to handle the beehive.. and I love how all of it is possible but yeah... varies in efficiency. I personally don't know about coordinating and or placing the beehives by the ship: I mostly just pick/drop and go inside a building to lose chase (the roaming bees are avoidable). My associates prefer to have two/three people work on one hive. One person by the teleporter, one to grab the hive, and one to be chased by the circuit bees. They prefer to do it after looting the bunkers.. before the sunset.

Great guide, once that railing thing gets patched stun grenades will be one of the only guaranteed ways to kill monsters. I wish you talked about them more since they're incredibly useful. They also might get a buff so they can be used against coil heads like the log states

I found that if you can leave the facility while the flea is on you it will automatically come off. But the standing still one is also really good I’ll be keeping that one in mind

Great guide! Been looking for a proper one like this since I started.

Snare fleas Do not immediately kill you if you're playing solo as that would just be pure ass to deal with, I've just read the description but most don't so I'll say it here. Edit: Giants can also be distracted momentarily by the store drop pod, most cases they will just stop and stare at it in which you can freely run past however it can be a little inconsistent depending on what or who they are focusing on.

It’s a solo feature that snare fleas get off when you’re at critical health.

Thank you for making this guide! Good way of explaining the gameplay!

Awesome guide 👍💯 learned some tricks (and went from hating Offense to it being my favorite map 😅) by watching your VOD when v40 came out and learned something new again. Looking forward to more Lethal Company content!

Best guide I've seen to date! Thanks!

15:20 this coilhead was on a mission I had no idea they could even do this and now I'm horrified

for forest keepers if they're camping the ship door you can self-teleport yourself and then get grabbed in order to force the keeper to use the eating animation, which then anyone around the ship can run in w/o having to drop their items

this is the best most thorough explination of them all, above any other the big channels

One little thing that I’ve heard for the Thumper: It is really good going in one direction (like a hallway), but is bad with corners. Also for the Bracken/FlowerMan (from what I’ve seen) flashlights are actually a decent way of making them retreat without them attacking you, dunno if this is true or not, just wanted to point it out! Oh and that giant horn thing… yeah it attracts the Giants.. so you can also screw over your friends with that :p

great video man this was actually very entertaining. Hope to see more content like it!

Very interesting video !! I have learn a bunch thank you

I believe part of the fun is that some situations are meant to be unsurvivable. Like with that leviathan can sometimes jump so fast you can't escape him.

I believe you can also use the shower upgrade to reset sanity and get the ghost girl to pick another target according to the wiki and the one time I tested it so that is a good option

Saw this in APlatypuss' video: in mansions, there's a few bookshelves you can jump on that act similarly to rails in terms of safety. You're safe from most creatures. And you can't fall to your death either.

man you flying with that jet pack was cleaner than ill ever be with it XD

sick video bro, Here before 1 million 🙏🙏

Good to finally see a video from ya.

Now I'm ready to be a real valuable asset to the company

On titan, for some reason, if you are inside the ship and you are haunted by the girl, it won't come up to you if you will stay near camera terminal and instead will just get stuck or something as long as you don't go out. I think going on the roof of ship also works, but I didn't test it, so can't be sure. Back to titan, you have to go 1 staircase lower on the stairs, because they are a bit closer to the ship and when you drop items from there, they will be really close to the ship (like 6 feet trom the railing) and they wont get stuck on staircase (if you drop them at the edge of the ext. ladder of course) On mansion type levels, you should NEVER get on railing or bookshelves as Thumpers, spiders (only railing) slimes (also only railing), jesters and etc still can get you. Instead, it's better if you find a big enough bookshelf somewhere in the mansion (not at the entrance!), stool, tables, furniture in kitchen, I am not sure about couch as it's kinda low, but yeah, I think it works too. If you see a landmine that is right next to the corner of a wall, you can run on it and quickly move behind the corner where you can't see the landmine and it shouldn't kill you. BUT! When it's near doorways, you shouldn't like get close to doorway corner, instead you run past and try to push yourself against the wall or something, because it will kill you if you stay at the corner of doorway, probably cuz model clips though a tiny bit and gets you, or your shoulder is peeking out. You can jump over turrets. I heard that if you smack them with a showel and crouch, they won't be able to shoot you and you can crouch by, but I didn't test it. Eyeless dogs can be lured to the rear of the ship with horn upgrade and you can basically keep them there forever, I think you even can kill them with extention ladder while they are there. Also, when extention ladder is about to.. uuh close, it makes a beep sound for 5 seconds which makes a lot of sound and can lure dogs to them. You can zap forest giant right before he reaches you so you can regen some stamina or get behind something with a roof. Forest giant will only grab you when he can come right at your position (not where he can grab you, if he is too tall, he will just stand near you and shouldn't try to reach for you, but don't get close to him as he still can get you I think, should work if you are high above where he can't walk to as well, like places with ladders). You can hide behind trees and other objects, and as long as it doesn't see you, you should be good (doing stealth in lethal company is insane). Oh and also, be sure to make your FPS capped at 60, because if you make it higher, you will get fall damage much more frequently than with 60 fps. You can survive around 7 jumps from any height, fall damage is quite low in this game.

As far as I'm aware, the snare flea will hop off once u hit critical if you're in single player, but in multiplayer it'll just kill u unless someone hits it off

Haven’t seen anyone mention this but if your holding an item at the edge a grate platform (say fire escape stairs) and jump and drop at the right time it phases through all the metal grates, good for experimentation

i have no clue if someone else said this, and it may not be true as if the v45 update (it probably is), but for the sand worm you can dodge the attack very easily. once you hear a rumbling noise, just walk backwards. there will be a soft rumble with a slight crescendo, and there will also be some particles that come out of the ground. i think the sand worm tries to predict your movement and just assumes you will continue to move in the same direction, but simply turning 180° or sprint backstepping will help 👍

Pro tip: with the snare flea in multi, if it jumps on your head and you had a melee item- you can pick the item up again (if you find it) and then when you swing it'll knock the snare flea off of your head.

Very cool, best guide so far

the clip that plays while you talk about the coilhead is absurd what a chain of events

The air horn with the eyeless dog lol

I accidentally discovered that when you leave a building with a snare flea on your head it will immediately die. So, a main entrance or any fire escapes will kill it just by going through them.

Wurps!!!! I just played with you this morning!

8:36 Holy shit PLEASE do a jetpack tutorial or tips & tricks! I can barely move more than a foot with that thing after 2 secs of flight and you're already half way to your destination within the same span of time! Incredible flying!

Thanks for such a detailed guide!! Had NO idea about ghost girl leaving the building now i can be semi ready or at least pretend to be 😂❤😊

Hope to see you in the public servers someday and thank you personally learned a lot thanks!

You probably already know this but if you press b on the terminal to go into the item placement menu, walk inside of it, then scroll wheel out of the item placement and then don't move (mouse movement is fine just no wasd) you can stay hidden inside of the terminal and this can protect you from ghost girl.

local shovel god bringing us insight!

tip about worm (you probably know this by now) it try to lead where you're going to be, so once it start rumbling just turn and run a different direction, and it'll pop up where it thought you'd be, which is the direction you would've gone

Lol i love the hoarding bugs,they seems to be pretty chill I like how they just rob you and go away like little goblins 😂

the worm change direction and run when it attacks, as it target slightly ahead of you as it assume you'll just continue in the same direction.

You can *POSSIBLY* kill the forest guardian, its just completely luck based. I have a video clip of me using a zap gun on a forest guardian while a earth leviathan was under me and it ended up eating the forest guardian and permanently killing it. I also have a clip of a leviathan eating an eyeless dog that was lunging at me. I was using the mods "Brutal Company" and "More Company" which may have altered the game's AI (definitely alters mechanics of the game).

Mannnn, I have 100 hours and I didn't know how to properly deal with the bunker spider and thumper without jumping on some rails and bashing its head in, kind of feel that jumping on a railing might get changed soon and might not work. Thanks again for all the tips.

this more like podcast than video tutorial, but much appreciate it !

Teleporting bodies is okay to do around the Eyeless Dogs, one noise that does NOT aggro them. Same with accessing the terminal to ping a radar booster.

nice guide! your cadence reminds me a lot of sunburned albino

yesterday while playing i was able to get rid of ghost girl while at the main entrance. I didn't look at her to start her skipping, but i went out of the building, back in looked at her, then back out and in. She was gone for the rest of the run but idk how well it actually works.

Never heard of the seal trick, pretty neat to know

finally a guide thats not reading off already known beastiary/wiki info

Just like the boombox makes slime move faster, it seems that music from nutcrackers does as well

Hey wurps do stun grenades actually disable coil heads temporarily? I tried it a few times and it seems they still kill me during the blind. Appreciate all the work you've been doing! Very informative!

There’s 2 new enemies and also you didn’t include the two passive flying creatures, great video

One little amendment to make: Hygroderes (Slimes) can slowly squeeze under normal doors and get to the other side. The only way to trap them is security doors.

When you’re in single player snarefleas only bring from full health to critical health.

Great video! Ive played for over 200 hours too but still missed a good amount if tips like how the snare flea leaves you if u stand still or the thumpers slow in close proximity 👍

Very good video o.o most of the tips have been working good so far, but I have one mayor question. how do you get the 5th inventory slot that you have in some of ur clips?

"Once its done following it will start cranking it"

Thanks for sharing this tips bro

the bee hive tip is really useful, definitely gonna use it while playing with my mates and probably get killed in the prosses

I think the snare flea lets you eventually go because of some kind of timer that goes down when the flea is "provoked," making it flee after a certain amount of time. I am likely wrong, but that's my guess as to why it probably does that. Also, the pun was not intended, LOL.

knew most of this but still really useful

13:00 a better way to understand how the Worm attacks is, while it is following you preparing its attack it tries to predict your movement so you can actually dodge it by moving in the opposite direction of which you were moving given the delay

Is it worth it to pull the stun grenade pin just before getting grabbed as a way to save yourself from forest giants or will the stun grenade not go off?

You deserve way more than 14k subs

bro the bamboo hawk looks scary

With the coil heads, I encountered that you can actually outrun them (if you have full stamina and know where you going) when stamina gone stare at them and wait until it goes back up again but not sure if other people can do that too.

15:20 that part scared that shit out of me lol

The snare flea thing seems to be a singleplayer only thing, because i heard they leave on critical anyway, regardless of your tip. So yeah, get that mine out of the way or find a pit to die in is probably the way to go.

You can juke out the jesters if you manage to run past it as it charges at you it will fuck up its pathing and it will start running off in a completely different directions you need to manage to just run past them as it charges at you in murder mode it then runs off in a random direction happened to my mate while we where all watching him

Face huggers can also be killed by walking outside with one on your head. When you head back in, it'll be dead on the floor.

Im wondering on that ladder trick, is it really much different than just dropping the loot down to the bottom larger staircase platform and then using an extension ladder to get it even closer to the ship(could probably hit the ships railing tbh), well I guess the dogs can be a big issue on titan but could work if you get out early.

need a tier list on how killable creatures are and what cant be killed and maybe even counters or weaknesses or sum

Great video :)))))
