In the thrilling world of *R.E.P.O.*, you'll encounter 19 unique monsters, each demanding quick reflexes and strategic thinking to overcome. Among these, the Eye Monster, known as the Peeper, is particularly tricky. Let's delve into how you can conquer this ceiling-dwelling menace.
How to Beat the Eye Monster (Peeper) in R.E.P.O.
The Peeper is a stealthy adversary, lurking on the ceiling and spawning in random locations across the map. This giant eyeball remains closed until you enter its vicinity, making it a challenge to spot before it sees you. Once it detects your presence, the Peeper opens its eye, locking your gaze and dealing two points of damage to your HP every second you remain in its sights. Although the Peeper is classified in the lowest tier of danger, its ability to disorient you can be a significant hindrance, especially when navigating or escaping from other threats.
When caught in the Peeper's gaze, your point of view zooms in on the eyeball, making it difficult to maneuver or sprint away from other enemies. To counter this, always be vigilant about potential Peeper spawns and keep a clear escape route in mind. The best strategy is to break the line of sight by walking around a corner or through a door. If possible, shutting the door can cut off the Peeper's gaze entirely. Having a teammate assist by closing the door can make this task even easier. The key is to keep moving and stay calm.

As with many challenges in *R.E.P.O.*, having a teammate by your side can simplify the task significantly.
