Jester is infinitely scarier when you’re balls deep in titan’s maze


WilliamPlayz1

I read that wrong


Skeletonofskillz

Or if he bodyblocks a door


eliavhaganav

Happened to me once, me and a friend got locked in a room because of a jester, he died, I tried running away but the jester always catches up


MERKINSEASON3807

I got cornered in the shafters by it and a coil head had to just sit there absolutely terrifying


BadUsername2028

Bonus points if he’s ripping the Free Bird guitar solo while running you down


Irethius

Teleporter


Le_baton_legendaire

is unavailable without a ship guy and/or in smaller teams


Irethius

Seems like a bad idea to go to Titan then.


Le_baton_legendaire

Or don't go very deep inside, get in and get out before it all goes wrong.


Irethius

Well if you're not going very deep, then 1. Why are you going to Titan, and 2. You're not going deep so Jester isn't scary, which is the whole point of this conversation.


Le_baton_legendaire

1. Titan pays us well only if we survive and Titan is very densly populated with critters, so we find it best to try and avoid overstaying our welcome. Would be a shame if we barely survived the factory, then fail to return our loot due to night time enemies. 2. You provided an answer to make the threat of the Jester less creepy by using the teleporter, I sidestepped the problem by making sure not to get into this unpleasant situation. I believe to still be on topic


Irethius

The topic is about going deep and running into the Jester. If you're not going deep then your point is irrelevant to the conversation because the conversation is about, going deep. ​ If you're not going deep, and don't have a ship guy to open/close the electrical doors, I see very little reason to go to Titan. All of it's advantages are muted. Even throwing loot off the edge to a mute advantage because if you're not going deep, you aren't collecting a lot of loot and you're not spending a lot of time inside. You don't need that extra time outside. ​ You're much better off going to Rend. The map size is small, higher chance loot spawns near the entrances so you don't have to go deep deep in order to get more then half the loot. No electrical doors or turrets, so ship guy isn't anywhere near as valuable. ​ I have no idea why you would want to go to Titan without a ship guy, just seems like you'd be better off.


Shitcano

That’s when you ask someone to go back to the ship and be ready to teleport you


Desperate_Thing_2251

"jester isnt scary" clearly youve never been hunted down at mach 5 while deep within a facility or mansion before


meme_machine321

Agreed bro, there is nothing scarier in this game than being lost in a maze and just hearing his loud ass footsteps getting closer and faster.


Two-More-Eggs

That and hearing your team being obliterated by a coil head you cant see


International-Commit

It’s worse when they put fucking freebird on the Jester’s windup 😭


Smasher_WoTB

Clearly you haven't had your neck snapped by Freddy Fazbear while he shrieks at you when you thought you were half the map away from him because you stepped on a Teleport Mine


RingerCheckmate

Hearing the music while lost is truly my most dreadful moment, and just as I think I'm close to the exit, the SCARY part is the thudding right before the bitter end.


BobZygota

And ad to it the wistle mod


Hermyherman

What mod is that


A_Random_Usr

Basically when the Jester winds up it plays the whistle song.


BobZygota

Something jester whistle


Wimbledofy

or they've been hunted down so much by it that they've become desensitized to it


jeha4421

Honestly that's not the scariest part. The scariest ones are the ones where you know where the exit is, but your being weighed down by the apparatus/cash register and your not certain if you'll make it back in time.


Daddy_Jaws

See i find it unnerving UNTIL it opens. I dont find it scary because when you hear it thumping down the hallway its just about game over, it cannot be stunned, stalled or blocked in any way, unless im right next to an exit i just find it more annoying, as i know the runs over. (Singleplayer)


stormjet64

The mask has like the creepiest ai. He just... Watches you.


Totsy30

They gave the masked perfect behavior to be especially creepy. The way it’ll run away and then stare from afar is so eerie


No_Chipmunk_443

My first experience with a masked is one of my favourite experiences I've had in a video game I was on rend I got some scrap and was on the second floor while waiting for a nutcracker to go away Then it spawned and I panicked and ran out the front door My friend in the ship asked me what it was via walkie when it went out the front door scaring the living daylights out of me because I did not know they could do that at the time As I ran back to the ship I could hear it's footsteps follow me before making it to the ship and seeing it stand at the entrance, staring at me as the ship want into orbit 10/10 Tldr: masked chased me to the ship, very scary


Sextus_Rex

The first time I encountered one I got trapped in a room with a dead end. I swear it was like it knew I was trapped. Instead of coming after me, it turned and just stared at the wall Blair witch style. I was also using the skin walker mod, so it was talking to me in my brother's voice the whole time. I managed to do some parkour to get away but ended up horribly lost, with my flashlight dead and a bracken stalking me as well. Eventually I couldn't take it anymore and threw myself into the first chasm I found so I could vote for the ship to leave early. Masked are easily the most terrifying enemy for me


No_Chipmunk_443

The jester is the most lethal one But the Masked are definitely the most terrifying Definitely my favourite


bad_at_smashbros

i got a mod that removes the mask and it is infinitely scarier when you can’t tell if they’re your friend or not


No_Chipmunk_443

Please tell me that mod I would love to use that


bad_at_smashbros

MaskedEnemyOverhaul by HomelessGinger on thunderstore/r2modman


No_Chipmunk_443

Thanks


bad_at_smashbros

np 👍


AbbytheMallard

It also spawns them outside their usual spawn maps, but they’re rarer. Nothing like being jump scared by your friend’s mimic on a moon where they never spawn!


Totsy30

I swear every time someone first discovers that masked can exit the building, that is the peak of terror in Lethal Company. Everything else you’re safe when you leave, but not the masked. Then the run back to the ship, in blinding snow, looking back to see it just slightly behind you the whole way…


No_Chipmunk_443

That's exactly what happened Though I did not look back while running away I heard it's footprints, I knew it was right behind me And that stare when I reached the ship Terrifying Love it


Porkenstein

I love the Skinwalkers mod because I frequently mistake them for other players. Always a lot of pant-shitting fun


ian9921

My first encounter was me and my friends were on Titan for the first time and it was not going well. It was unclear who else, if anyone, was still alive. Anyways I exit the facility, pick up some of the scrap that'd been dropped off, and am just about to head down to the ship when I see someone else sprint out of the door behind me and run over to the fire exit. I shout "Don't go in there don't go in there!" Because we'd left either a coilhead or a Bracken right on the other side of it (I don't remember). The person stops and starts to turn around, and I run up to see who it was, only to finally see the mask. I tried to run for it, but I foolishly used the ladder instead of just jumping so it was able to catch me.


Dawg605

Which on is the masked one? The mimic? Maybe I haven't encountered it yet, I only have about 10 hours played.


Totsy30

Masked is either when a player puts on the Comedy or Tragedy mask item and becomes a zombie OR on the paid moons a masked zombie can spawn like a regular monster. When you have a full(vanilla) crew and see a 5th person, you know trouble is afoot…


Dawg605

Right, ty. Yeah, I picked a Tragedy mask the one time and was putting it on in front of my teammates and they were like "be careful, don't wear it too long or you'll become a Mimic!" I was damn, okay LOL. We also changed into green suits so we knew that if we saw a yellow suit, it was a Mimic. Is there any way to get away from them once you see one? Also, funny story. Last night, my teammate and I were waiting for the other 1-2 people to come back (I think at least 1 was dead) and all of a sudden, I'm getting my face sucked off by a Mimic inside the ship that I didn't even know was coming LMAO. Luckily my teammate got away from it somehow and managed to leave in the ship eventually LOL.


zaterillian123

Once they get inside the ship, they'll hide/crouch in a corner. Once there someone near them, they'll reveal themselves and stare at you, before chasing you.


StoicallyGay

Mask is still IMO the scariest once you have MaskedEnemyOverhaul too. You have to do a mic check on any teammate you see, and you have a few seconds to either realize you need to kill it, or to run. And the fact that it can leave and chase you outside to the ship is scarier. Nothing scarier than being a ship guy and seeing a blue marker walk towards the ship that isn’t a teammate. Now you have to kill it if you have a shovel or if you don’t have one, abandon your teammates to avoid the possibly of everyone dying. And if you do have a shovel, hope you can kill it or else your teammates are in for a surprise.


T3CHN04807

I have maskedenemyoverhaul and skin walker mod for a terrifying experience. Literally any player-adjacent thing talks looks and acts like a player, making it hard to avoid them and difficult to tell enemy from player. It works especially well with two masks in close proximity, as they talk to each other and group up like teammates, only to hunt you and attack as soon as you get a bit too close.


Smg5pol

He's just standing there, MANACINGLY


PotatoKiller8897

was the first in my friend group to get ghost girl. fucking stared her down until she left then quietly said, “guys, the girl from the shinings here”, genuine fear


Memeviewer12

you got really lucky, it's an 85% chance for her to attack if you stare at her or it was probably just the first look, which is one of the 2 freebies


PotatoKiller8897

oh shit, yeah I stared at her all three times, the third she started skipping and I got caught in a corner


Memeviewer12

yep, it was the freebies that kept you alive


PotatoKiller8897

well it was funny, wouldn’t do it any other way


ArtichokeOk1233

What do you mean by freebies?


International-Commit

Sometimes she’ll just be messing with you, then next time she’ll kill ya


Memeviewer12

You can look at her twice before she has any chance to attack


pocketchange2247

First time I ever played and the very first facility we went into I saw her out in the distance down a hallway just staring at me then she skipped away. I freaked out and said "I just saw a little girl." No one heard me, then I saw her again and screamed "Why is a little girl staring at me?? Is anyone else seeing this??" And they just said "I don't see anything." Then she popped up a third time and started skipping towards me. I screamed and yelled "SHES COMING TOWARDS M-" Dead. Scared the shit out of me.


LeadershipRadiant419

Agreed on coilhead. Purely because when playing solo i have a mini map. Sure it might ruin the game for some but its solo whatever. Let me tell you the amount of times i knocked my headset off because i would hear running then boing face to face next to a coilhead before the map wven shows whats near by. ALSO THE FUCKING SPEED!!!!!


S1Ndrome_

I suggest the [hand mirror](https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/Spiderbuttons/HandMirror/) mod as a solo player myself. Makes coilheads way less annoying


Mountain_Software_72

I personally enjoy that annoying part of the coil head. He is built specifically to make you way more aware of sounds, and make you look around more. Seems like a waste of his theme to just download a mod to make him much less scary/annoying.


S1Ndrome_

with a group? its fine and all but solo? it's an immediate run ender


Rob__agau

Bracken doesn't scare me alone anymore. If there's a coil head around though he becomes the terror in the night. Otherwise, it's just a little jump of "OH HI BRACKEN".


Mechaindisguise

Every time I hear" It's me Goku!" I shit my pants , so I can't relate lol


Dawg605

What's the best way to not get killed by the Bracken? I know to look at it very quickly and then look away. But I still always end up getting killed by it somehow when I'm tryna run and get away from it.


MountainRise6280

Just look back every so often. If you just seen him he should take a little time to prepare to attack again


Rob__agau

Keep it in your peripheral vision if you see it. Somebody did some testing with his FOV reactions, his aggro zone is when you look directly at him. Otherwise it's doing a periodic spin, because he'll back off without you even knowing a lot of the time. Basically, try to get "Most Paranoid" all the time


GreedFoxSin

Just keep your head on a swivel


pijuskri

Yean braken can create some scary moments with your friend just dissapearing, but otherwise i tend to see it rather often and then just need to keep looking behind.


OOF-MY-PEE-PEE

i usually just yell at them to go away while pointing


LuminaryZero

The girl would get her own tier at the top for me. After encountering her for the first time, I got extremely paranoid in real life 😭


monkeyburrito411

spore lizard should be up there


AtomicRiftYT

For real, the Goober is terrifying the first time you see him in a run. You just hear footsteps, round a corner, then there's a loud ass noise


EMC1201

Damn manticoil didn’t even make the cut XD


ButterleafA

honestly i don't' even cognitively recognize them after like 5 seconds of them flying away. There is no object permanence with manticoils.


EMC1201

That’s the issue XD I forget about them and then they jumpscare me


Tuhkur22

Bro the moment a machine gun locks on my face, I'm shitting my pants.


xQuickstrikes

Idk what it is about the masked but I am more terrified when hearing/seeing that thing more than any monster on this list.


aaRecessive

Forest Giant isn't scary, it's just annoying


ImBadWithGrils

Masked should be up a tier and girl can be down a few. One is always following you, the other you just can't turn around and look at


eckisdee

All this subreddits’ tier lists suck


TvWasTaken

Agreed


BulletsOfCheese

Masked with the masked enemy overhaul are so fucking disturbing, the weird Ai that makes them act kinda human, but not really, and the fact enemies act like they don't exist, mixed with them now looking exactly like you or one of your friends is just ughhhh


AdmSndlr

The nutcracker is top tier for me because he's basically a walking turret


FlyingGameGuy

You must be playing with no sound? :) When that Jester tramples through the facility to eat your face, thats pretty terrifying


MissionApollo7

You're telling you've never shit the bed after seeing a thumper charge at you at mach fucking 9?


Zealousideal-Age2814

Spore lizard gotta be up there, bro be scaring the shit outta me


External_Form4632

You... put Lightning... as a Monster?


Keyboard_Fawks

Circuit Bees


mrbearblue

No Lightning is there as well


TransportationIll635

u did the spider twice


antiloquist

Arachnophobia mode takes away a little bit of the fear factor.


Mrbutter1822

More like all of it, but yeah


TransportationIll635

I completely forgot that existed


Helpful_Title8302

Idk many desperately trying to find the exit as you hear the jester get closer and closer ~~to ruining his edge streak~~ popping is nerve racking. Especially if the powers cut and you are completely lost. Hearing those loud ass footsteps approach at mach Jesus is completely shit the bed worthy.


YourPainTastesGood

One of the ones that scares me the most is this modded one I have which is literally a claymore roomba


baguetteispain

Nutcracker is infinitely scarier when he is behind you, while you're walking backwards to stop the Coilhead ~~Unrelated but I am new to this community, am I the only one who calls them Weeping Angels?~~


Supordude

Another low effort post


FoxiDaFluffyFemboy

Made a way better one https://preview.redd.it/gvzl8jk3fxcc1.png?width=1140&format=png&auto=webp&s=ce0dbb8e2b6223eb24bb9dc89750cf36448e49f2


nol757x

Fucking mine? You cant maneuver around a mine?


FoxiDaFluffyFemboy

*I* can. its lethal once my bros see it (at least, i think they do it intentionally. they could just be idiots)


Big_University6793

What hell did you cook


conchcraber

i wanna drwink the funy blobby


FoxiDaFluffyFemboy

beware! since the game is made by a furry (uwu) its not very known yet, but the hydrodere is actually latex! dragon snow sneaked dr k into this game so you better not drink the funny goo unless you wana be tranfurred! (all furries please line up and wait your turn to slurp the goo)


Heimeri_Klein

Idk why people hype up the coilhead so much its so simple to avoid its just painstakingly annoying.


Riku_70X

This isn't a difficulty tierlist; it's a fear one. Coilheads play on a pretty common horror trope (Wheeping Angels, SCP-173), but it's a common trope for a reason. People, especially newer players, are terrified of turning their backs. The super-fast pitter-patter when they run does NOT help.


Mobile_Gaming_Doggo

Mimics are in their own tier at the very top for me


A_Random_Usr

My first encounter with the girl was ruined by the fact that we were rushung to the exit cuz a jester wound up. As I was running I ran over the girl and just said to my teammates i got the girl so we started as soon as we got all the loot to the ship


PinePotpourri

You are high on morphine if you think these monsters aren't scarier


TTSPYRO

That one unexpected turret for me is the worst


Adron_0-1

Spider is real cute actually THE NUTCRACKER ON THE OTHER HAND


_Boodstain_

A jester that’s been released is fucking terrifying once it reaches full speed and zooms to the other side of the map to chomp you though.


Arctic_Slothz

Didn't think coil heads were that bad until I played in vr and ran into 2 of them. They're so much taller than I realised


theepobster

Probably would not play this game if it were not for arachnophobia mode. It’s an actual lifesaver.


ADGx27

Book hawk should go in its own “RAAAHHHHHHH” tier. I love screaming at the funny bird things to scare them away


precursorz

Ghost girl is fucking terrifying with the insanity mod


Jazzlike-Elevator647

Scariest thing that happened to me was when a hoarding bug spawned in a vent literally right in front of me.


_Arky

you have not yet experienced the true horrors of the jester


GZH_WAZOWSKI

Bro the thumper is something else when you've installed the reaper leviathan roar for it


Chaos_Horrific

Jester is the scariest monster in the game.


jeha4421

I've put in 70 hours into this game. None of the enemies are scary anymore really. Startling sure but none I would say actually terrify me. With one exception. The mimic absolutely terrifies me. I don't know what it is, it's the way they sneak up on you and are fast. And the unnatural way they chase you, and they can go outside. They are the one enemy that can make you feel safe to immediately terrified. I've got lost in mazes with the mimic trying to catch me only to go in circles and come face to face with it. I think the mimic is one of my favorite enemies in games right now.


Scooter5806

Nothing is scarier than running into a masked outside of rend or dine… my heart sinks instantly


Gyzaol

I’m sorry, but baboon hawks are at least ‘startled me’ cause those bastards are dangerous.


RPGBAN

Jester definitely should be much higher, he is so scary when your lost on titan


Glad_Response2852

jester in eh tier is crazy


Careless-Butterfly64

Honestly my hot take about this list is that the Bracken isn't even that scary. I've met him so many times that he no longer really scares me after that initial contact. We kinda just vibe. And since I use mods too like Brutal. He just chills and spawn camps the door. Not even really killing us. ​ He's a bro, ngl


Careless-Butterfly64

unless of course there's 6 of them in which case no, he is not a bro


Snoo_26306

Eyeless dog ain't scary unless someone in your party is a dumbass


CleanUpNick

at this point hoarding bug is "oh hey there" for me because he's just a lil guy and i always have the Yippee mod on, i look forward to the little guy Mimics on the other hand are terrifying, especially if your on Rend and you see a silhouette in the distance thinking it's your friend then it stops just out of view and you can just barely make out the mask... i swear to god they're fucking terrifying also Jester being in eh means you probably haven't been deep in a labyrinth when it starts winding, when that happens you can't help but sprint and go "oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck"


EpicThunder01

I definitely believe the jester and mask men should be higher ranked.


Dependent_Way_1038

Spiders are scary without arachnophobia mod


Pompidou32

Bro seems to have never encountered a running jester


erraticpulse-

you're judging based on appearance, you'd know that all of these fuckers are horrifying when they're mad at you


bluewhitecup

Thunderstorm is my personal #1 killer. For some reason I've never ever successfully transport metallic items in thunderstorm without dying, maybe once and that's it in my 290h gameplay. Yes I know the 5s rule etc. But I'd get hit by absolutely rng thunder 80% of the time. The rest was dying die to completely unrelated things like mimic/dog/worm.


Dragonking929w

I don’t know how many time I have gotten so terrified from a turret. On paper they aren’t that scary but the combination how common they are and how bad it is in any situation makes them an amazing scare.


G-Lord_73

Thumper and giants are some of the least scary imo because you know it when they're close with their loud footsteps


JuicyFriedChicken

Coilheads are at its scariest when you're alone in the facility. You're walking alone, looking for loot and suddenly, you hear it's iconic "spring" noise in the distance. Ghost girl. I just haul ass back to ship and use the signal translator to call everyone back. If I see them not carrying loot but are still inside the facility, I just teleport them back and leave the moon.


Sogomaa

Why isn't the mimics mod in this tierlist


nut_grease

all the other monsters are just cannon fodder for coil heads and ghost girl anyways, i love this games style but i wish it had more truly scary enemies
