Author : Sadie Apr 27,2025

In the intense world of *R.E.P.O.*, facing off against 19 unique monsters is a thrilling challenge that keeps players alert and engaged. Among these formidable foes is the Eye Monster, known as the Peeper. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to conquer the Peeper in *R.E.P.O.*.

How to Beat the Eye Monster (Peeper) in R.E.P.O.

The Peeper, a ceiling-dwelling adversary, is notoriously difficult to detect. This giant eyeball remains closed and camouflaged until you unwittingly enter its territory. Spawning unpredictably across the map, the Peeper's stealthy nature means it will likely spot you before you notice it.

Upon detection, the Peeper opens its eye, instantly locking your gaze and preventing you from looking away. This immobilizing stare inflicts two points of damage to your HP every second it holds you. While the Peeper's damage output is relatively low, ranking it in the game's least dangerous tier, the disorientation it causes can be critical, especially when other threats are nearby.

When ensnared by the Peeper’s gaze, your perspective zooms in on the eyeball, complicating navigation and potentially hindering your escape from other enemies. To counter this, always be mindful that a Peeper can appear anywhere. Plan your movements to maintain clear paths for retreat, such as corners or doorways. If you can manage to shut a door, or better yet, have a teammate do it for you, you can break the Peeper’s line of sight. Staying mobile and keeping calm are key.

The definitive way to eliminate a Peeper is by using the ‘Gun’, available for purchase at the Service Station for approximately $47K. It may require multiple shots to take down this elusive monster. Although challenging to aim while under the Peeper’s spell, it's certainly achievable with a steady hand. As with many challenges in *R.E.P.O.*, coordinating with a teammate can significantly simplify the task.

Now that you're equipped to handle the Peeper, explore our other guides to enhance your survival strategy in *R.E.P.O.*.
