How to Deal with The Headman
The Headman is a giant, floating head that roams around making unsettlingly loud biting noises—like a cosmic toddler with a teething problem. While it looks menacing, it’s surprisingly lazy unless provoked.
What Triggers It?
Flashlights: Shine a light on it, and it screams, charges, and bites—hard. Each chomp deals 50 damage, plus any knockback damage from slamming into walls.
Attacks: If you hit it, it will retaliate, though it’s not the most persistent hunter.
How to Avoid It
If it starts chasing, turn a corner and hide. It gets bored quickly and will leave you alone.
Stay in dark areas to avoid accidentally triggering its flashlight rage.
How to Fight It
Wait for it to attack—it has a long cooldown between bites.
Use a sledgehammer—it has terrible reach, so swinging constantly keeps it from biting back.
Shoot it—it has a huge hitbox and low HP, making it an easy target for ranged weapons.
Overall, don’t panic when you see the Headman. Either sneak past, or whack it before it can whack you.
