Lethal Company Monsters: Guide to Survival

Monsters in Lethal Company are categorized into two types: Facility Monsters and Outdoor Monsters. Below is a summary highlighting their characteristics:

• Facility Monsters: These creatures spawn only within Facilities. Most can be stunned or killed using tools like Shovels, Stop Signs, or Shotgun bullets, although the number of hits required to defeat them varies. Utilizing Shovels and Pro-Flashlights is crucial for navigating through the Facility safely as these monsters can traverse through ventilation systems.
• Outdoor Monsters: Generally emerging post-5 PM, these entities are activated by Eclipsed Moons and include threats such as the Baboon Hawk, Earth Leviathan, and Old Bird, which can also appear during daylight. It’s advisable to use TZP-Inhalants to circumvent threats while remaining close to your teammates and keeping an eye on environmental alerts (e.g., storm warnings).
