• Effect: Buzz gains a temporary shield.
• Why: While good for pure survival, it doesn't offer the utility or repositioning power of the Blaster. Use this only if the enemy team has massive burst damage that kills you instantly.

• Pocket watch (stops nightmare time)
• Black candle (reduces entity aggression)
• Tape recorder (play back reality sounds to weaken Taker)

The First Patient has a 180-degree frontal hitbox. Do not attack. Effect: Buzz gains a temporary shield

• The Trick: Run towards it when it screams. The hitbox originates 5 meters in front of it. Hugging its legs is a blind spot.
• Use the Mirror: When you hear a high-pitched ringing, raise the Fractured Mirror. It is about to use "Dream Pierce." Parry this to stun it.
• Damage Window: After stun, switch to your fists. Yes, fists. The Nightmaretaker reflects 50% of weapon damage back at you in Phase 2. Fists have no reflection penalty.

Part VI: The Final Boss (The First Patient)
