Unlock the 100% Hard Mode achievement!

Awaria is the new challenge developed by Vanripper, a game that puts you in the haunted tunnels with girl ghosts, who you must first escape and then kiss. In this guide, we'll provide you with tips on how to beat the game on the hardest difficulty, which removes drones and makes generators die faster.

Awaria: How to Beat Hard Difficulty

Note that you simply need to interact with the broken generators to fix them by pressing the "Enter" key and moving around the active parts if any are available in the room.

Chapter 1: Zmora

The first chapter is the easiest, where you simply need to interact with the generator in the room until the ghost of Zmora appears. Keep fixing the generator three more times for a total of four, while escaping her attacks, and her powers will fade. At this point, you'll get the prompt to kiss Zmora.

Chapter 2: Zmora II

Here, you need to fix two generators, and Zmora appears much faster than in the first room. Once again, fix both generators for a total of five times for Zmora's powers to fade. In the end, Zmora will accept your gift of pudding and leave you alone.

Chapter 3: Cutwire

This room is similar to Chapter 2 with two generators, but Cutwire is a different type of ghost, who shoots triple missiles and places plier traps in the shape of skulls on the floor. So be prepared for these when you fix one of the generators. This time you'll also need to fix the generators a total of six times. The best way to do this is to move around the edges of the room, evading Cutwire's attacks.

Chapter 4: Cutwire II

The same process repeats in this room, but this time you'll need to fix generators six times. Cutwire will place her skull signs on the floor, which you must avoid at all costs. If you stand on the sign, you'll be immediately destroyed. So move through the center of the room, and once Cutwire places the signs, move around the edges to safely avoid them.

Chapter 5: Nikita

Nikita is an even more dangerous ghost, shooting projectiles in all directions. This means that it'll be a lot harder to evade, but you still can do it by simply waiting out in the corners of the room. Once the projectiles are gone, you can go ahead and fix the generators six times to complete the chapter.

Chapter 6: Nikita II

In this room, Nikita will be acting far more aggressively than before, shooting projectiles one after the other. But the room is also bigger, so it's a lot easier to evade projectiles, although it's important that you avoid moving through the center of the room, as that's where a trap will destroy you. Once you fix the generators six times, the chapter will be over.

Chapter 7: Zmora III

Zmora returns for the seventh room, which now has permanent traps that look like electric ladders. You can move through them but only when they're not charged. Zmora will be chasing you with great speed, throwing electric charges all around. To survive, you must always move around and expect to see Cutwire invade the room, too. This happens when you fix the generators four times out of seven, required for completing the chapter.

Chapter 8: Zmora IV

Even before the ghosts start appearing, this room will immediately start blasting you with projectiles, emerging from the center of the room. As always, wait them out in the corners. Zmora will appear soon enough, chasing you, as well as Nikita, with even more projectiles on the way. The only way to survive this room is to move around the edges as fast as possible in one direction, preferably clockwise. You'll have to fix the generators seven times.

Chapter 9: Zmora V

This is the same room as in Chapter 7, but this time there are four electric ladders instead of two. Zmora starts blasting you with lightning bolts all around the room, so either wait them out in the center or the corners of the room. There are also four generators in the room this time, which actually makes things a bit easier. There's also no Nikita this time, which again makes things a bit easier for you. Once you fix the generators eight times, it'll be over.

Chapter 10: ???

Here, you get to see all three ghosts again in the following order: Cutwire, Nikita, and Zmora. Each one spawns after one generator repair, but at least there are no other traps in this room, which makes it a little bit easier. Also, be sure to step onto the dashes on the floor for faster moving. They will allow you to quickly avoid ghost attacks, and after fixing the generators four times, this chapter will be over.

Chapter 11: Dr. Striga

With Dr. Striga, we're entering the final stages of the game. She appears immediately, giving you no time to think, moving extremely fast, shooting projectiles everywhere, and spawning small horned mobs. You can't really do much against them but simply run away, moving from one generator to the other as quickly as possible.

One of Dr. Striga's strongest abilities is teleportation, which is very random. But you can still see for a fraction of time where her portal appears in the room to avoid it. In this case, move around the edges of the room in a clockwise direction and fix generators eight times to complete it.

Chapter 12: Dr. Striga II

Here, Dr. Striga summons four different types of mobs. Here's how to avoid them:

  • Mechanical Rhino will chase you in zig-zag motions, so move in the same pattern across the room until it disappears.
  • Skeletons will appear in a row of five mobs, moving from one end of the room to the other. The only way to avoid them is to move to the very edge of the room and wait for them to pass by.
  • Small horned mobs should be familiar to you from the previous chapter, so simply run away from them along the edges of the room.
  • Explosive Skulls are very slow, so when you see it, just run in the opposite direction and wait for them to explode.

Fix the two generators in the room eight times to complete this chapter.

Chapter 13: Dr. Striga III

This is exactly the same room as the previous one, but Dr. Striga doubles the amount of all mobs and appears as a giant mechanical monster that constantly hits the center of the room. All you need to do is avoid the mobs as before and skip the center of the room. Once you fix the generators eight times, the game is complete.
