Start with the small ones like animals and bangers, theyre easy to handle just keep moving and dont let em group up. Maybe interesting that throwing bangers works great when they cluster together and deals solid damage. Moving up youll find tacticals like hidden and bowtie, listen for breathing sounds and watch the ground for footprints, staying quiet helps tons here. The persistent ones get trickier, rugrats steal your stuff but require teamwork while shadow child needs careful eye contact management, look away after 3 seconds or youre toast.

Hunters are where things get real nasty especially reapers and chefs, might wanna save some distance weapons for these fights. Environmental types like mentalist and huntsman control whole areas, good to know that grenades work great on mentalist while staying dead silent helps avoid huntsman entirely. The real monsters come last though with headman trudge and robe, these need perfect timing and serious planning, keeping your light off helps tons with headman while trudge has a pretty set path you can learn. Robe needs perfect hiding spots and absolutely no eye contact or its basically game over.

Late game usually throws combinations at you so memorizing behaviors helps tons, most dangerous pairs are usually huntsman with anything quiet or robe with fast movers. Remember hiding spots work differently for each type, and sound management becomes super critical later on.
