0:06 This is actually more terrifying than something wicked From the looks of it, this enemy feels like a filth and and a stray combined into one with significant upgrades. Since the player is far more experienced with the game by the time they enter Act 3, the regular filths are practically just blood dispensers at this point, and I feel like that's why the mannequin is going to replace the filth in the lower layers as the game's "melee harasser".

[@guncatto2625]

Filth were relatively annoying and hard to hit but not dangerous at all until the knuckleblaster where they just are free blood. (Well you could make the same case for the shotgun I guess.)

[@victorvirgili4447]

Filth are still annoying, since they force you to keep moving or waste precious time and cheap resources fending them off. I don’t think any enemy will ever be “replaced”, like how weapons are always useful, but these enemies will probably be a grounded version of the Mindflayer’s ‘mobile, constant threat’ with higher speed both in movement and attacks but less resistance and less flexible movement due to the lack of floating

Something that I haven’t seen many people talk about is how, in spite of moving really fast, the mannequins actually attack very slowly. Since it’s pretty much impossible to snipe them while they’re running, this puts the player into a reactive state where they can only damage the enemies while they’re readying their attacks. Easy to handle with individuals, but pretty challenging when you face a group.

Aint no fucking way

[@StandardUserFromEarth]

Nice, not only does the level blind you at night, but also scares the shit out of you. This is truly one of the most hellish Hells in video game history, even as a near god like killing machine.

[@OptimalLeisure]

Okay, observations: -Starting off with what is very easily the least interesting part of the entire video, we can see the clearer health number mentioned in the July 22nd Screenshot Saturday post, so it's neat to see that in action??? -We can clearly hear The World Looks Red (TWLR) playing it's non-battle loop at the start of the video, signifying that this isn't the first skirmish of the level, which makes a lot of sense. While it COULD work, trying to introduce a new enemy type by throwing six of them at you at once seems like a poor way of going about it. -While brief and pretty nondescript, when V1 turns around to walk up the second set of stairs, we can see the area that they've just come out of. Now, it could very well JUST be an average white corridor unrelated to anything we've seen before, but it could also POSSIBLY be the hallway seen in the July 15th Screenshot Saturday post. -Something VERY interesting that I've noticed is that the skull podium in this video is red, while in the prior video it was blue. Now, this could mean a LOT of things, but I'll try to abstain from talking about all of them since that's how you quickly get to completely insane conspiracy theories and with how little information we have to go off of, there's no good way to actually surmise what the deal is. It's also peculiar that there's very clearly a blood splatter on the door since that seems MUCH more random and not like the game was designed to have that there on purpose, but we still don't know enough. -Once the battle begins, new types of doors block the exits. While not anything crazy, it's still cool to see. -After the mannequins launch into their attacks and the fighting begins, the room noticeably dims and only the light from the windows remain bright. This is not only a really clever way to have the mannequins stand out against the similarly colored background, but it also helps with the eye strain that the environment causes some people (I've seriously seen some people suggesting a "dark mode" for Violence, which I do suppose they kind of got). -The mannequins look to be the new mindflayer-level annoying enemy (I don't mean that in a bad way), being able to shoot blue projectiles, climb and crawl VERY fast, and they roll and lunge at you if you get close like a ferryman. They also seem to be pretty damn tanky for a common enemy, with one of the mannequins tanking a charged slab piercer shot and surviving. The video is just a little too hard to follow for me to be willing to sit down and try to learn the health numbers of the mannequins, but who knows? Maybe I'll get bored and do it at some point. -Last thing that I'm just guessing on, but it seems like mannequins may spew more blood than other enemies. Like, it could very well just be me mentally making a bigger deal out of THIS blood since it's the Violence layer, but I feel like this is way more blood than other enemies would produce. Could just be them being tanky leads to them getting hit more and causing more blood splatters. Alright, after looking back at the video to try and figure out the mannequin's health total, I realized that it wasn't quite as difficult as I thought it would be. The first shotgun shot fired seems to be mostly if not totally consumed by a mannequin and is UNRELATED to the mannequin that I kept track of, meaning we don't have to account for that damage. Shortly after this, we can see Hakita shoot a single mannequin with a fully charged slab piercer shot, dealing 5 damage. Shortly after this, he fires a rocket into the group of mannequins containing the damaged mannequin and we can see that one of the mannequins died. Using obvious reasoning, we can assume that this was the mannequin that got hit by the piecer shot, and the rocket could've dealt either 3.5 damage or 2.3 damage. With how close together the mannequins are however, I'd personally assume that the mannequin took the full brunt of the damage and it dealt 3.5, leading to a total health of 8.5. Now, this doesn't account for certain things that we just can't know yet like potential weaknesses or resistances, but there's little that we can do about that until we find out ourselves in-game. For reference, schisms have 5 health, streetcleaners have 4.5, soldiers have 2.5, and sentries have 12. So, while they aren't the most bulky semi-common enemy in the game, they're still quite tough and with the seeming amount of them that they're willing to throw at you at one time, I could very easily see mannequins becoming a new menace in the game.

[@Sefcear]

thanks. good observations!

[@replacableVessel]

Also, they seem to avoid their own parried projectiles, this is better seen at the end

[@randompurpleslime8963]

Okay I went frame by frame until the first death So from what I can see it took 1 point blank shotgun from blue A charged slab shot And finnaly a rocket Using the wiki I'm tryna guess the dmg Slab 5-7 dmg Shotgun(point blank) 3 dmg Rocket 3.5 dmg Rough estimate=11.5 or 13.5 dmg This means the mannequins can health is perhaps around 9-12 maybe 13(I doubt that) again these are guesses And do keep in mind this isn't perfect because at one of the frames it's impossible to track the one I was tracking so I just went with whichever one died first took the shotgun blast If anyone has time or knows alot of a ultrakill I would appreciate if anyone can confirm my guesses

[@infamoussoapconsumer3870]

some things to note: - As some people (including me) thought, The World Looks Red is not a battle version of The World Looks White, but rather a music on it's own (which is actually really cool btw, having 2 musics on a single level like that) - It's probably my imagination but it kinda looks like we do some sort of backtracking here? especially considering that the skull was already placed - Some people already commented about the fact that there's a new blocking wall, not the usual red skull one, and I think this new one looks actually pretty great! - About the mannequins, to me they seem like the perfect combination of husk type enemies (weaker with large quantities) with demon type enemies (stronger with small quantity), as their attacks seem more aggressive and stronger (like demons) but their HP looks at least smaller than from the Cerberi - On that note, they kind of remind me of schisms. maybe it's the way that they shoot and walk (when not fucking teleporting or walking like fucking spiders) that makes me feel that? FIRST EDIT - Maybe I'm a bit crazy but this blocking texture looks really high definition, in the sense that you can distinguish what's on it good. It seems like the textures have been having higher definitions since the Dev Museum. I do not find that bad actually, it's a really cool thing tbh - Specifying more my opinion about mannequins, I don't think they have low HP, just not as big as, for example, a Cerberus, Mindflayer and/or a Ferryman. That is reforced by the fact that there's more than 2 of them to me - On that note, I think a great strategy against them is to use explosives - will edit if I have something new
