The Headman is a level 3 Monster.
Appearance[]
The headman takes the appearance as a giant disembodied floating bald head with yellow eyes.
Behavior[]
The Headman floats around the level, occasionally making a clacking noise with its teeth. When it spots a player via line of sight, it will begin screaming and rapidly approaching the player. The Headman is also capable of attacking players hiding underneath objects and flying up high to reach players.
When attacking, the Headman will stick his teeth out and attempt to bite the target. These attacks always deal 50 damage to players and 10 damage to monsters.
The Headman can also spontaneously bite things that get in his way, which can result in him damaging valuables. It is recommended to move the cart out of the way of the Headman.
The Headman has good proximity awareness (i. e., it can spot and attack players out of sight if they approach close enough to it). The time it takes for the Headman to spot a player via proximity will be increased if the player is tumbling, crouching or crawling.
Tips[]
- The player can crouch slide under the Headman, making it possible for him to lose track of the player; however, the player will likely get hit in the process.
- When enraged, the Headman can ignore the standard pathfinding algorithm by taking the shortest route to the player, as he can fly over pits and ascend vertically. This makes any attempt to loop the Headman or hide on top of high surfaces unreliable.
Trivia[]
- The Headman was the first monster created for R.E.P.O., back when it was a singleplayer cleaning game called “clean” during development.
