The Thing

The Thing is an aquatic entity that inhabits the dark waters of Level 7 (Thalassophobia). It lurks beneath the surface and attacks players who enter the water.

• Lives entirely underwater — cannot attack players in boats.
• Attacks when players swim in the ocean.
• Can grab and drag players underwater.
• The water is murky, making it nearly impossible to see The Thing before it strikes.
• Stays in deep water — shallow areas near the shore are safer.

• Stay in the boat as long as possible — The Thing cannot reach you on the surface.
• Row quickly through open water sections.
• When diving, move directly to your objective — don't wander underwater.
• Use the Diving Helmet — it provides limited oxygen and slight protection.
• Surface immediately if you hear splashing or feel the screen shake.
• In co-op, have one player stay in the boat as a lookout.
