An corpse comes into an enemy's field of vision and the enemy goes to investigate it. When a corpse is discovered, the entire Fort goes on 'high alert ' enemies will start their repeating sound bites and patrol routes will change (not all patrolling enemies have more than one patrol route, the ones that don't will stay the same).Ĭorpse discovery often works the way you'd expect it to. Ironically, it took me a while to realize this because my previous runs had a focus on pacifism. Then I found out what exactly triggered this change: the discovery of a corpse. This baffled me at first, since I'd never seen enemies change patrol routes before doing Silent Exterminations. The observation that kicked this all off was that after a certain event enemies would not only start repeating a single sound bite, but some would also change the routes they patrolled. As I've progressed in this latest series I've noticed other strange things about enemy behavior in Forts, and I felt compelled to figure out how it all works. In my Perfect Stealth and Perfect Stealth Barehanded series this behavior was unavoidable because it's triggered by powder reserve explosions, which of course are a prerequisite for completing the run using those rulesets, but those are optional in Silent Exterminations.

If you've watched my other videos you've noticed that enemies inside of Forts will have behavioral changes after certain events, most prominently starting to repeat a single phrase over and over. This is the accompaniment to a special demo video showing a group of mechanics that operate in Forts that I, as well as many others I'm sure, have wondered about.
