It can be useful to use the minimap to look for the red dot to target the real one.ĭue to the improvement on the A-Life and adding in random occurrences, psy-dogs can sometimes randomly be found in the deeper parts of Yanov, Jupiter and Pripyat. Another psy-dog appears in Yantar and more appear in the Red Forest. If the original one is killed, all the images disappear.
It is easy to sneak up on this one however, and kill it before it creates live copies of itself.
Shooting a fake dog causes it to disappear, after which a new copy is quickly spawned.
Killing it may be tricky for both new players and veterans, as there is no way to determine which of the visible dogs is the real one, and which ones are merely mirages. Though referred to by the commandant as a pseudodog, the monster turns out to be a psy-dog. The player's first psy-dog encounter is likely to be in the Dark Valley, where Lingov hands out a quest to kill a mutant which has been terrorizing the base. They stay deep in the forest or near the Brain Scorcher. Psy-dogs can be found in the Red Forest, but rarely they also appear in the Bar area. This continues into a cycle until the perpetrators are finally killed. The real psy-dog rarely attack, being usually separated by their copies, and only appear if all of their illusions have been "killed", just to produce more false copies. Psy-dogs prefer to summon illusions to attack enemies and retreat. Once an unlucky prey is swarmed, the psy-dog will now usually close-in for the kill, who is masked along with the number of images that are also attacking. Psy-dogs typically do not directly attack, but instead rely on their generated illusions to swarm and overwhelm prey then attack.
When around the influence of a Psy-dog also, the player's vision is slightly brightened, has a few traces of noise in the vision and hears a familiar sound that is also done by Controllers when around them. It can be theorized that the psy-dog can either manipulate the minds of man similar to the abilities of a Controller, or they themselves generate psy-emissions and are able to bend it to their will. Although they also attack, they deal no damage, but can mask the direction of the real Psy-dog who is attacking you. These even seem real and solid, as players cannot simply walk through them and must be shot to be removed. The most distinguishing feature of the psy-dog is its ability to affect human minds, where it is able to create seemingly live images of itself. Psy-dogs will attempt to confuse you with multiple illusions It resembles a Pseudodog but with white fur and shares many characteristics with its somewhat more common relative.
