How to defeat the Granny in Little Nightmares DLC. Because she killed me a lot of times! And it pissed me off.
How to defeat the Granny, because I learnt it the hard way. The most effective way to see where she is. Or just roughly where she is.
Is, you got to watch the water ripples, when she's swimming around under water. Do not be fooled by her animations underwater, as that is just a ruse to think she's over that side. Where her water ripples are a little further up for example. It's mostly inaccurate.
And definitely watch out for her bubbles, when she does swim up close to you, she makes a gargling growling sound, when she's near you. That means she's getting ready to attack, and you only have a few seconds.
Only around one to two seconds, before she grabs you. For I have survived it a few times, when I managed to climb up a barrel in time, or a chair. But you only have a certain amount of time before she knocks it over. And catches you that way.
The best effective method to keep an eye on her, is to use your flashlight. To see her animations is rare, just make sure you watch out for the ripples. Her sound ques. Her sound cues are Important for this next part, because it can be used as a strategy thing to get away from Granny.
Also, can be used as a temporary indicator. Most Importantly, is that you keep moving. NEVER stand in one spot! Otherwise, she will eventually come up and knock the furniture you are standing on. To screw you over, and give her the best chance to catch you.
Best thing, that as soon as you hear her gargling noises, just when she appears at her closest, is when you jump. I found that the couch is the safest, because you won't fall of as easily. Though, it can still be a hazard.
I figured, that if you jump off before she hit's the couch, is when you jump off the couch, and swim towards the nearby barrels, to give you some time. But you, got to move quickly. Watch the ripples, just before she makes the gargling noises, to give you the que to jump off when she does attack, and swim to the next closest thing.
I found out that the planks in the water are short period floaties. They keep you from being captured. Because, I did try that last time, and they saved me. I'd call these planks "Emergencey platforms."
They only stay afloat for as short while, that once you climb on. It won't be long for the Granny to start her que, and come back to grab you from there, so be sure to jump off immediately when you hear her sound. And swim up to the suitcase up ahead. When you go for the secret bottle. Up on that platform.
You can try this method where, climb onto furniture, and wait. Wait for a little bit, until you hear her coming up. And when she comes to her closest, you can jump across to the next one. And have her crash into the furniture, and then jump off the suitcase to claim the bottle. That way, so it's the most effective and safer to go.
Lastly, the bait. You can feed her more than one bait. Pick up the bait, and throw it away opposite from the destination you are going to go. Throw in two baits', to keep her busy for some time. To better your timed advantage to swim over to the other side, over to safety faster.
And lastly, if you need to. Immediately swim over to the nearest platform. Just to give yourself sometime, to distract Granny before proceeding on.
And never climb onto something that looks un floatable, that's not going to hold your weight. (I.E small crates, useless junk.) Go to a nearby barrel, or luggage that would hold your weight.
Or the planks, for temporary weight, but you gotta move quick. They are sinkers! Gives you a second chance to spare, before Granny captures you.
That's it! Have fun with the DLC! xD
