LOCIS Beginners Guide
Goal of LOCIS
This guide was written when the 0.8 update was out. Keep this in mind going forward.
LOCIS is very much a game of chance. But fear not, with the appropriate approach sessions can last from 30 minutes to even hours.
The main goal of LOCIS is to find the exit. To do this you can –
- Walk to the end of a hallway, believe it or not hallways in this game DO indeed have an end to them. Try walking to the very end of one, if you see a glowing white/grey door that is your exit!
- Stumble upon the glowing doors by chance – This has happened to me once.
- Actions Influence the endings to this game –
A. Giving soul to “NPCS” will influence a good ending
B. Ignoring “NPCS” will influence either a neutral or bad ending
Now onto Do’s/Do Not’s in LOCIS –
DO’s/DO NOT’s
Many dangers and bad luck can make your session come to an end. To better manage your odds here is some DO’s –
- In each area is a “Monster”. They all can be handled by doing this –
A. Apartment Monster – This monster will ask you to do a specific task, like opening a door or turning a tv on, one of the easiest monsters to handle.
DO not ignore the monster, and if you do, gun for a exit as fast as possible or you will die.
B. Sewer Monster – This monster will ambush you in the hallway. To handle this monster all you have to do is sprint in the opposite direction until you do not hear its sound anymore.
DO not attempt to enter a room unless you have no other choice, and if you are caught, mash the action button to escape.
C. Theatre Monster – This monster will appear at random down the hallway. Biggest thing to look out for is its moaning sound. If you hear this, gun for a room and close the door or you will die.
DO not open the door until after the monster has knocked on it and the sound of it has vanished or you will die.
D. Laboratory Monster – This monster will appear at random in the hallway. You can tell its nearby by its robotic sound. Hide in a room or you will die.
DO not leave the room until the robot has passed or you will die.
E. Abandoned Monster – This monster appears in holes down the hallway. Walk do not run passed the holes or you will die.
If the monster does appear wait until it goes back into the hole or you will die.
F. Circus Monster – This monster spawns in the rooms of this area. If you hear its laughter do not open a door for awhile or you will die.
DO not open a door if you hear a popping sound/laughter or you will die.
G. School Monster – This monster takes the form of a “teacher” and will ask you a math problem. Answer it correctly or you will die.
Use a calculator for the harder problems if you run into him multiple times.
H. Vicsceral Monster – This monster is attached to the walls of the hallway. Sneak past it when its retracted or you will die.
Wait until the right time to sneak by or you will die/take tons of damage?
I. Cave Monster – This monster will spawn in the hallway as eyes in the distance. Turn around and face the other direction or you will die. Do not get to close to it or you will die as well.
Wait until it is safe to turn back around or you will die.
J. ??? I have never encountered this Monster so i cannot tell you how to avoid/beat it yet.
KEYS –
- Search every special room you encounter for gold/silver keys.
- Search common rooms when you can for keys also.
- If you see a gold/silver door always try to unlock it and enter it, this will usually lead you to a special area/new area.
NOTES –
- If you care about lore or whatever you should read any note you find.
FLAMES –
- It is very important you always seek out the blue flames as this is your lifeforce and light. If you let it run out you will die.
SPECIAL ITEMS/ SCROLLS
- To my knowledge every area has special items that you can use in conjuction with an area in your current position. I have not dabbled with this much though.
- A scroll exists that lets you kill any monster you want. You van find it in the temple special area.
Using this simple play method, you can make your sessions last as long as a few hours I have found out.
