How to Beat the Eye Monster (Peeper) in R.E.P.O.
The Peeper, a ceiling-dwelling foe, is notorious for being hard to detect. This giant eyeball monster spawns randomly across the map and remains closed until you venture too close. Once it senses your presence, the Peeper opens its eye, locking your gaze and dealing two points of damage to your HP every second you're trapped in its stare. Although the Peeper is categorized in the lowest tier of danger, its ability to disorient can be particularly troublesome, especially when you're zoomed in on the eyeball and struggling to navigate or escape from other threats.

To outsmart the Peeper, always stay vigilant as it can appear anywhere. Plan your movements to ensure you have an escape route, such as a corner or a door. If you can, shut the door to break the Peeper's line of sight. If you're playing with a teammate, have them close the door for you to make it even easier. The key is to keep moving and remain calm to avoid panic.
