How to survive

  1. Watch the beam. It always shows where the Lamp Maw is looking.
  2. When it stops to inspect and you’re in view, don’t move.
  3. Once you’re detected, freezing is too late. Break line of sight and change direction.
  4. Don’t shoot it. That provokes it right away.
  5. It never shares a station with a Waddler.

Watch for

  • A lamp beam sweeping a room.
  • It stopping to inspect.
