As a passionate Roblox survival gamer, I live for the ultimate horror challenge. So when the viral hit "Residence Massacre" arrived with its single-player, hide-and-seek format, I knew I had to master it.
After nearly 100 attempted playthroughs, I‘ve uncovered the best tactics for solo success. Get ready to take your game to the next level!
Below is my comprehensive guide to dodging death and outlasting the night in Residence Massacre.
First Things First: Gear Up with the Right Tools
When you spawn into the house at the start, move fast before the monster blocks off key items. Target these essential tools:
Wrench – Critical for repairing cameras, generators and broken barricades. Don‘t risk entering rooms without checking cameras first!
Battery – Powers various electronics like cameras. Without these, you‘re left blind when the monster cuts electricity. Stock up!
Blox & Glue – Reinforce those exterior windows immediately with these. Stop the monster from having backdoor access to your location.
Also grab any wooden furniture or planks to barricade breached windows. And don‘t forget your trusty flashlight by pressing F. Illuminate all darkened corners where the monster may lurk.
| Item | Usage | Spawn Locations |
|---|---|---|
| Wrench | Repair cameras & generators | Garage, basement, kitchen |
| Battery | Power cameras & electronics | Living room, bedroom dressers |
| Blox & Glue | Barricade windows | Basement boxes, garage shelves |
| Flashlight | Illuminate darkness | Auto-equipped |
With these equipped early on, you gain major advantage. Repair those cameras, barricade entries, and start tracking the monster‘s location. We‘ll get into more complex tactics later.
Firsthand, I‘ve noticed the monster tends to target the garage initially. So grab that wrench fast! Losing camera intel too early really allows it to sneak up on your location.
Eyes in the Back of Your Head: Repair Every Single Camera
Your camera network is absolutely vital to tracking the monster‘s movements. But many spawn busted, with only static on-screen.
Use your precious wrench to rapidly fix each camera across the house. Don‘t just focus on your own room! Giving the monster free roam to breach far rooms allows it to flank your position.
Repair priority guide:
- Your current room
- Adjacent rooms
- High traffic rooms like living/family room
- Entry points like front/back door cams
- Far wing cameras
Also, reinforce the bathroom area early by barricading all windows with spare wood. This allows you to safely view cameras without threat of intrusion. The monster really struggles busting down reinforced barriers quickly!
Funnel it towards adjacent rooms on your network for early warning of its approach. I cannot stress enough how pivotal functioning cameras are to preventing surprise encounters.
Darkness Falls: Surviving the Long Night
Once that sun sets, the real terror begins. The monster accelerates its hunt, gaining major stat increases in speed and aggression.
Prepare to be relentlessly pursued once darkness hits. Lean on these proven tactics to endure the night:
Reinforce EVERY potential entry – Do not overlook any exterior window or door. Even upstairs! Given enough time, the monster will eventually smash through to your hideout. Barricade entry points preemptively.
Constantly monitor camera network – Cycle all camera views at least once per minute. The monster can traverse rooms extremely quickly at night, often glitching its model through walls. Frequent intel updates are mandatory.
Hide in closets or bathroom to break line of sight – Got eyes on the monster rapidly approaching? Douse lights and hunker down in hiding! If it loses visual tracking of you, it enters search mode giving you time to grab more gear or batteries for night vision cameras.
Wait for it to switch floors before moving – Patience is key at night. Never move floors while monster is on the same level. Instead, confirm it changed levels, then safely relocate and block off stairways with furniture to impede its return.
MASTER THE NIGHT PHASE OR SUFFER A GRUELING DEATH! But stick the techniques above, and you‘ll thrive past dawn.
On average, I‘ve noticed the monster averaging a 50% speed increase during this phase. It also gains the ability to insta-kill doors and standard barricades. Up your defenses! Its vision range in darkness also doubles – exceeding your flashlight radius. Hence hiding is critical when nearby.
Manipulate Its Weaknesses: Tips for Outsmarting the Monster
While its moveset and stats may overwhelm at first, the monster has clear weaknesses you can exploit:
Fear of Light – Bright lights clearly disturb it. Blast your flashlight or trigger room lights to drive it away temporarily. Just beware, this aggros it to return sooner once lights shut off!
Lack of Intelligence – It does a poor job remembering your prior position across sessions. Use hit and run tactics in the dark, fleeing to rooms it last saw you exit from.
Fixed Exit Locations – Unlike you, it can‘t vault back out barricaded windows. Funnel the monster into rooms with only one entrance/exit then block it in!
Easily Distracted by Noise – Throwing objects or footsteps shifts its focus. Use misdirection to lure it away, then circle back undetected.
Learn these behavioral patterns, and you can manipulate the monster into blundering around the map. Just be careful it doesn‘t catch onto your tricks! If it adapts, you may need to attempt radically different strategies across reboot attempts.
