Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs Discussion Topic Part 1

Whoa, whoa, slow down. Your saying that the monsters in ATTD (Amnesia: The Dark Descent) Have health? I thought the monsters of ATTD were invincible and only the monsters in the penumbra games had health only!

Actually they do have health, but you basically have to hit them enough times at such a speed that it's pretty much impossible to do it by hitting them with a box or something (though it can happen if they glitch into another entity and they start glitching into each other).

If you manage to do the impossible and kill a brute or grunt, what happens? Do they have an animation for dying?

BTW there are 3 watermonsters. One in the first section of the archive tunnels. Then after you pass the timed gate another one will come at you (and the first will stop following you it seems).
Then there is a third one in the cistern, but he only becomes 'real' and kills you in certain circumstances (I think it has either to do with sanity or wether you've already been to the morgue)

It'll freeze the enemy in place and it will make it so nothing collides with it anymore, so technically it's dead, but there isn't really any death animation or anything. As for the third water monster, that just has to deal with your sanity when you're leaving the Cistern.
