Blair Witch Volume 1: Rustin Parr Hints

Do you have any general combat tips?

  • 1 of 6: You'll learn a lot of what you need to know during the training session at the start of the game.
  • 2 of 6: Namely, back up to keep monsters from getting too close (none of them have weapons or long-range attacks) and if necessary, move off-screen to get a better camera angle.  Be careful not to move around too much, though, or else you may find yourself accidentally changing from a good camera angle to a bad one.
  • 3 of 6: Turning auto-aim on also helps quite a lot.
  • 4 of 6: The only other tip that I have -- aside from some monster-specific hints given elsewhere in the file -- is that you should learn that not every battle needs to be won.
  • 5 of 6: When you're in the forest, you can quite safely run away from a lot of the monsters.  If you keep moving, they'll never catch up with you.  They also will not follow you from map section to map section (when you see a brief loading screen), although they will often be waiting for you if/when you return to that part of the forest later.
  • 6 of 6: Try to conserve your ammunition by avoiding monsters instead of fighting them when you can.  You will get new supplies several times during the game if you do end up needing them.
