In the intense world of *R.E.P.O.*, navigating through 19 unique monsters is no small feat, and the Eye Monster, known as the Peeper, is one of the trickiest adversaries you'll encounter.

How to Beat the Eye Monster (Peeper) in R.E.P.O.

The Peeper, a ceiling-dwelling menace, is notoriously difficult to spot due to its stealthy nature. This giant eyeball monster strategically spawns in random locations across the map and remains closed until you venture too close. Once you're detected, the Peeper opens its eye, instantly locking your gaze and preventing you from looking away. This eerie connection inflicts two points of damage to your HP every second, which, while not the most lethal in *R.E.P.O.*, can be extremely disorienting.

When caught in the Peeper's gaze, your point of view zooms in on the eyeball, severely limiting your ability to navigate your surroundings or escape from other threats. To counter this, always maintain situational awareness; remember that the Peeper can appear anywhere. Keeping a clear escape route in mind is crucial. The most effective strategy is to break the line of sight by moving around a corner or through a door. If possible, closing the door behind you can sever the Peeper's gaze. If you have a teammate nearby, having them shut the door for you can make this maneuver even smoother. Staying mobile and keeping your cool is essential.
