Water lurkers can apparently be lured away !
Just my 2 cents, but has anybody noticed this ?

I replayed the demo several times and noticed that, if you throw a body part of any of the corpses littering the flooded cellar into the water, the water lurker goes after it...

...and seemingly devores it ! Huh Undecided

The good thing is, if you throw one or two limbs of the poor dead saps as far away across the room as you can, the lurker will follow it, get fed, and leave you alone. Pretty much like the mutated sled dogs and the beef jerky in Overture...

Yup, it's actually the only way to leave that particular area.

I remember being killed by the water lurker in the demo, and even got a message/hint that told me to do just that. ;D

I also discovered that if you run and jump constantly the lurker can't get you either.

Not really.
I just stood on a box while rotating the wheel to open the gate.

Somehow that never occured to me! I love hearing that a lot of the puzzles had multiple solutions.
