Lethal Company: HOW TO SOLO 

Idk why I never saw it in guides or in 100 hours of playtime, but I now know that the credits amount is displayed at the top left of the terminal 😅😅😅 Literally have been looking everywhere for this lol 11:16

Real players will do swiss cheese rp and run in front of every turret as soon as you see them. If you survive, god wants you to win. If you don't, game is bad.

You forgot to mention the worst part about baboon hawks, they can steal items, more than once i was moving items in offense and one of these devilish FIENDS grabbed it after i dropped it off the scaffolding thing to get it back to the ship. Remember kids, it's always morally correct to kill baboon hawks.

A friend of mine recently found out ghost girls aren’t completely run killers anymore. They have two phases, hide and seek and tag. She will only appear behind you and As long as you don’t look at her she’ll never get to her tag phase and wont chase you. Makes brackens and coil heads a hell of a lot harder to deal with but it’s better than nothing.

Quick Note: Thumpers, Spiders, and Fleas can no longer be cheesed by getting on top of railings as of the v45 update. Hitting it while walking backwards and keeping some distance is the current easiest way to kill these creatures as far as I know.

To my knowledge, the new Masked enemies can also follow you outside and they also attract dogs. Depending on the circumstance this could distract a dog or just attract it straight to you if the Masked is next to you. And again to my knowledge the railing cheese is patched.

Pro flashlights are particularly useful in mansion maps because it both lets you see down the quite frankly ridiculously long hallways, and because a flashlight can act as a makeshift timer for when you need to leave. 50% is 12pm, 30% batter means it's time to start carrying loot back. You can chance further of course, depending on the scenario.

Quick little side note: Snare fleas won’t kill you as a solo if you just stay completely still. This can be helpful if you don’t have a shovel!

I like the enthusiasm, but there's a lot of general knowledge/facts that I just wanna point out for the sake of accuracy, though most of what you said is accurate, and you bring a lot of good tips to that can help with the solo morale. This is all in good spirit and just to help people really have a full grasp on something. * Doors can be opened by taking out the apparatus or turning off the fusebox * Turrets, if they're close to you, you can jump over it so it shoots the ceiling IF it starts shooting * There are some cheese strats against the Ghost Girl, but it depends on the person whether they want to use them or not. Unavoidable. * Alone (not sure if applies if ur alone in multiplayer too), you can push away brackens by approaching them but watch out they have a path, they will kill you if cornered. This strategy does NOT work with more than 1 person though. * You can relocate bees with the same strategy you take beehives (Approach aggro range, strafe left or right, grab beehive, drop beehive when you're almost out of sprint) * This is very meta and not telegraphed that obviously at first, but critical health is temporary and you always heal back to 25HP after you stop cripple-walking. A lot of enemies take more than 25% health from you, but falls only take 20 with max fall damage (doesn't apply to jetpack), so you can fall damage yourself indefinitely. * If you are confident there are no hoarding bugs, you can leave items as breadcrumbs so you can find your way back. Alternatively, use leftwall/rightwall strategies, and stick for example to the left when you go in, and to the right when you go out. * Discounts change when you start a new quota, but watch out because restarting the save file will temporarily reset the discounts and they'll USUALLY appear again after you finish a moon Regarding the last one, I suggest you use a mod that lets your friends join when you're in space. There's a lot of quality of life mods that aren't cheating, and there's also a lot that can enhance your solo experience, and I respect both vanilla and mod players. Personally I think the game blew up WAY too early and is missing way too many essential features like even rebinding and choosing which way the scroll wheel turns, so getting those mods to fill the basic need for customisation is fine.

Every time I have to go solo for one reason or another an evil part of me plans to die in the funnied way possible which is a great way for me to make things more difficult for myself as I am constsntly distracted by this inner battle.

you can open the locked doors inside by finding the power box thingy and flicking the power off, it does the same thing that grabbing the reactor core does just on a small local area rather than the entire indoors and permanently. if you wanna close the door again just go flip the switch again

“themsplaining” got me cracked up

Not too far in, but I believe you can open bunker doors by turning off the power to that area via the junction box.

For the locked doors if you find the fuse box for the area and flip all the fuses off and all the doors (along with the lights) lose power and open. Side note: sometimes fuses spawn off so in multiplayer runs the terminal guy can't close doors or open them since they lack power. So you should always check all the fuses are on whenever you can

Song choices are the real solo, opening with underscores goes crazy

underscores intro unexpected but welcome :3 thanks for this, most of my friends already got "bored" of the game so i want to get good solo

So in regard to ghost girl, I believe that her "kill" phase has a time limit for how long she's allowed to chase you. If you manage to avoid her for long enough she reverts back to haunting you. Still a huge hindrance especially when combined with other mobs but not technically unavoidable

One thing i might disagree with is prioritsing loot over equipment on your first trip back, especially really early on (although i usually dont make it longer than that). If you die and the ship leaves without you, all loot disappears but any stowed equipment (flashlights, shovels, etc) remains, which makes later days easier if you dont have spares. Its probably still optimal to prioritize loot, but its a good thing to keep in mind

Now, we all know why he is doing a guide for solo just from the clip at the start.

On solo, it really feels like a horror game. Those spring head things freak me out when the move all sketchy like and the little girl..

I was not ready for the underscores jumpscare in the beginning haha, good video.

A portable terminal item would be a great addition to the game. It could have limited access to certain commands, like not able to use the monitor, but be able to open doors.

I know this video was made a day before the update, but as of Version 45, there's a second entity that can exit the facility, and that's the Masked. Arguably just as dangerous as the Ghost Girl just because of how insanely smart their AI is and how they never stop chasing you Also, the railing no longer works :(

ty for introducing me to the song locals (girls like us) i'm obsessed now

You’ve been doing a great job on these videos keep up the good work not many people actually talk about the game itself

ok ik everyone talks about ur voice but i love it it's so nice and ur videos are very helpful and cool pls keep uploading 🔥

You can open locked pneumatic doors by turning off the electricity at the circuit breaker

Nice video man, you deserve 10, glad to be here from the start

I was listening to this video in the background before I realized the music seemed really familiar and holy moly!!! acloudyskye!!! I love their music.

Babe wake up, new aquath upload.

Some important things to note as of v45: You can no longer avoid being hit by Thumpers or Spiders while on a railing. You can still kill them with a shovel relatively easily: To kill a Thumper, charge it before it can run at you. Keep some space and hitting it will stagger it, making them easy to kill. To kill a spider, just feather the sprint button while keeping space and moving backwards. The new Masked enemy (only spawns on Rend and Titan) **can** go outside. They can instakill you if they grab you, but go down in 4 shovel hits and are relatively easy to dodge.

Sweet solo tips! I really enjoyed your editing and your voice is cute to listen to! I'm subbed for your future content! :D

glad to be in the top 0.8% of cool people 💪

Closed secure doors can be opened from inside the facility by turning off the power to them from a breaker panel. This will also turn off the lights though. It also makes a low pitched mechanical humming noise so you can find it in the dark better.

I once had a turret spawn in the main entrance room, so all of my team died as soon as we entered

I love your humor so much 😭

It's probably already mentioned but the two new mobs the masked and the nutcracker are a one shot too. The nutcracker will kill you at range with the shotgun or if you run up to it and try to grab the shotgun, it'll instantly kill you.

I think the worst part of going solo is that lethal company turns from a horror game with funny and chaotic moments to just a horror game. not only is it hard, but it feels so horrifying.

why guides are good for this type of games: i can watch them. learn everything that game has to offer. and then watch my teammates suffer in despair 'cuz i didnt told them anything. and i knew that they would live if i told so. but i didnt. and it is such a joy :3

This quality is way too good to have less than 10k. I subbed instantly

Underscores in the intro of a good video, hollly, the beginnings of a goat

Great guide and great music taste :D love the inclusion of slphr and Alexander Panos

you can use the electrical boxes to turn off the power which includes the secure doros opening them, the lights will obviously go out so a flashlight is recommended but its a better alternitive than going back to the ship (for solos).

You can use fuse boxes/take out apparatus and it will unlock pressurized doors or at very least remember number and letter when hauling first part of loot back, so when you back at ship - you could just enter it

Very good video, keep it up :)

You can locate fuse panels to unlock secure doors btw. While it kills the lights, it does give you access to otherwise inaccessible parts

The music by underscores really makes this

I will never be you, Aquath. But I will try.

Thank you for themsplaining

I don't know if this has already been said and I don't want to read every comment to find out, but I've found that Baboon Hawks work similar to Loot Bugs from the aspect that you can bargain with them. If you encounter multiple that increasingly get closer to you, drop an item (preferably as little in value as possible) in front of you and back up, and they will usually take it and leave you alone.

For dealing with brakkens, when you see one you should count to 20 then turn around again. It’s a pretty consistent method of avoiding head replacement.

Very good video, thanks. ❤

Me when I wanna play solo but the ghost girl shows up on experimentation on her 0.4% chance

Even in a More Company lobby of 15+ I still be playin solo with peoples screams as guide so this is really useful

4:44 The ghost girl isn’t technically unavoidable, since if you evade her for long enough while she’s skipping after you, or if you get far enough away from her, she disengages temporarily, teleporting to some place out of your line of sight. However she doesn’t go back to her taunting mode after this, and I’m unsure whether or not she immediately begins chasing you again, or if she waits until you have line of sight or get close to her to start chasing again.

Honestly, my strategy for solo is basically just "fuck it we ball". got to 1k quota solo with this, though... with a lot more stupid deaths than it warranted. But I guess as a bonus screeching my throat out when getting jumped by everyone was good voice training :3c Now I'm trying to do solo brutal company........... safe to say its not going nearly as well

I never bring flashlights, I feel like they’re useless when the game is 100% able to be navigated with just the scanner. As a solo I only bring a shovel in, and typically leave it outside while keeping in mind a good route to get back outside in the case of anything.

Ghost girl can only start killing you after she's appeared on your screen twice. If you use audio cues correctly, you can avoid her entirely. She also will only appear where you can have a direct line of sight on her yet will only appear off screen.

Sir I like your voice and your guides pls continue ❤❤

I play a lot of solo lethal company, because my friends actually have LIVES (gross), and i don't see people talking about it often, neat video!

Aquath solos

Awoooooo this guide is still good even after update!

To add onto what was said in the video, if you aren't opposed to using mods, Advanced Company lets you do several things like change the number of days you have for each cycle and make days longer/shorter. Considering that the defaults for both of these are balanced around having multiple people, it makes solo feel a lot nicer. Personally, I do 5 day deadlines and 1.5x day length, and I'm able to perform about as well as my regular team with default values.

It’s worth noting that from my experience if you never see the ghost girl while you’re being haunted my looking at the floor or looking directly ahead at all times she won’t start her pursuit but this could use more confirming

One thing I always try and do regardless of moon, is get in and get out. I rarely stay any later than 2 p.m. to avoid dealing with a bunch of creatures

you can open secure bunker doors by finding a breaker box and flipping the switches off or taking a facility’s apparatus

@12:10 - addendum to that list, if you're just in a hurry but it isn't a one-shot dash to leave the moon: you will need at least as many trips to the ship as you have two-handed items, so don't just load up on one-handed items then have to make all those trips. Leave behind all equipment that doesn't have its own slot (if you use the mods for reserved flashlight/radio/weapon slots) or heavy ones that do (need that speed!) and grab 3 one-handed scrap plus a two-hander if any remain. When you are down to where you can grab all remaining loot and your equipment, that's your last run.

incredible music taste

There are a few things that majorily helped me with solo runs which are mods: There are mods that are literally meant to be in the base game, and there are mods that some people may consider cowardly: The reserved item slot mod is a great mod, there's a flashlight and walkie talkie mod for it, however, since it's solo, you don't need the walkie talkie one, when you equip a flashlight with the mod on, it'll go to a seperate slot which is on the right bottom of your screen next to the main slots, it will be on your shoulder visually, and you can toggle it on or off with F, and as for the walkie talkie one, you can use it by holding X on any slot, these two mini/tiny items should have literally had a seperate slot in the base game, we have suits for a reason, but not any velcro straps or belts to stick them onto? The other mod that i use (Even though i can play decently solo, i still like to use this mod, game is too unforgiving and you can lose all your stuff in the blink of an eye/in a heartbeat while playing solo) is the KeepScrap mod, you keep all your scrap and items inside the ship if you die, but obviously not the stuff you had on you if you died, i really feel like the only downside for dying while playing solo should've just been losing the day and cutting your losses, not allowing you to progress or replay it (obviously), explore it/collect scrap or any word that suits it the best.

very infortmatif and entertaining

One piece of advise for baboon hawks is noise appears to be a nice deterrent. I've had 3 chasing me and as long as you keep your mic on and turn around to scream at them occasionally they seem to run away and leave you alone. I saw somewhere that they were receptive to sound so the louder you are the more they back off. Not sure if this is 100% safe as I've only done it twice but I ran all the way across the map with 3 on my ass the entire time and didn't get hit once. Good luck Solo bros!

I’m fairly good at lethal but if I go alone my nerves will literally be my death

you can open secure doors without a terminal person if you find the circuit breaker for that area! turning it off will open all doors

Ik after the new update some of this stuff is already outdated but snarefleas if you sit completely still will usually hop off your face when you reach critical hp this has saved me a few times playing solo

Many things here can be improved. The most notable one is from the ghost girl. You can outrun her fairly easily and she won't chase for more thsn 30 seconds. If you see her 2-3 times, go outside she'll spawn. There you can outrun her by looping anything until she disappear. She'll do that over and over and won't chase multiple times when she fails.

Haha really good video! yeah, you totally right, completely different when you play in a group

Railing cheese stuff doesn't work anymore with version 45 its best to hit spiders by backing up and facing them and using sprint energy sparingly since they just follow you for a long time and hitting them with the shovel. The crawler enemy you can just hit with a shovel back up and repeat. I'm not messing with the hoarding bug or baboon hawk gang for solo runs.

HOLY SHIT LOCALS ( GIRLS LIKE US ) SPOTTED I FUCKING ADORE THAT SONG !!!!!!! mechanically engineered soft bottom they/thems have the best music taste! ^_^

Another near unavoidable thing, which I've had happen to me twice in solo runs, is the ship landing on top of a circuit bee nest. The damn bees aggro through the bottom of the ship, so you can't pull the lever. Best thing to do is to try and sprint out the ship, get whatever loot from inside, stack it in front of the door of ship, and wait on the top of the ship for autopilot to leave. Addendum: Slimes also technically have an instakill, in the very center of them. Only time it's been applicable for me personally was when one glitch-teleported up a physics object, but something to keep in mind so you don't try sprinting through them. Addendum 2: Rail cheese no longer works, instead best method of dealing with thumpers and spiders is now staying near them and kiting backwards. Snare fleas will not kill you if you stand still as a solo, instead detaching, and die if you make it out an exit with them attached. Final Addendum: You can check current credits by going to the store on computer terminal. When piling loot to scan, make sure to scan multiple times, as you might not get all values. Apparatus values don't add to the total while scanning, but sell for a lot, and keys show a value of 3 credits but sell for 0.

best discord ad ive ever seen

You have a very calming voice.

Nice video again, your editing is really crisp and your videos are really fun to watch, you genuinely deserve way more subscribers. Keep up the good work 👍

I fucking love underscores so much

Another awesome video! In the beginning you had made a comment about an 11 minute time, what is 11 minutes linked to?

merci pour ton tuto le sang

I think this stuff can be useful in team play as you are likely to end up alone on more than one occasion

turrets have a 30 degree cone of vision and 10 degree kill zone. unless its on stairs or down a long hallway they are negligible threats and will take out a few monsters with tactical shovel slaps. wiped a loot bug hoard once

this video is kinda like that thing

Very big important note : if you want your savefile to be safe, you can return to the main menu if you died or don't have enough for quota, you're not waiting on anyone anyways, and it will put you back to the last time you've went in orbit.

I think what they should add for single player is a like a lives system per quota. Not three lives per day, 3 lives per quota. It would still add tension and enhance vital decision making. Maybe for singleplayer and singleplayer only there could be a clone bay or something that’s all rusty and can only work like a certain amount of times! Just ideas though

Great video

Fun fact about Snare Fleas. In solo specifically, they won’t kill you if you have enough HP left.

underscores my beloved

Idk if this considered cheating or not, but you can reset if u die while exploring, simply exit game after u die and reload back in, you will go back before you land the ship and the day to meet the quota wont move

something cool about playing solo is the snarefleas wont kill you, theyll make you critically injured and then just like vanish lol

fun incident... I was on my second quota, last day, and found 3 v-type engines bringing me $100 over quota. I was taking the second engine back to the ship and a giant spawned early on my exact location, so there was no warning before I died and lost all my loot

your videos are awesome wtf

the shower resets your insanity and makes the ghost girl leave you alone for a while, solo its basically essential on hard moons as every time you run back to ship, shower and youre fine

You can no longer jump onto railings for safety, enemies will hit you on them, and most likely just yeet you off.

a little note to add here, railings are no longer safe, thumpers and spiders can and will get on them to monch you out of existence
