All Monsters in YapYap & How to Deal With Them?

Goblins: The Swarm Menace

Goblins might look like the least threatening creatures in YapYap, but don’t let their small size fool you. These little green menaces are dangerous primarily because they spawn in massive groups, especially in later tower stages. Individually, they’re weak and deal minimal damage, but when you’re cornered by a dozen of them, your health melts faster than ice in a furnace.

What Makes Goblins Dangerous:

Overwhelming numbers in tight spaces
Later spawns come armed with bombs and knives
Can steal your wand if you get too close
Sound-sensitive – they’ll swarm toward loud noises

Proven Counter Strategies: The Wind Wand (Aero-bis) is your best friend against goblin hordes. One well-placed push blast can clear an entire hallway and give you precious seconds to reposition. For point farming, the Piss-Yuk spell is absolutely brilliant – each hit grants you +5 points without killing the goblin, allowing you to farm multiple hits from the same enemy.

Advanced Goblin Tactics: Never let yourself get boxed in. Always keep an escape route open when dealing with goblin groups. Use terrain to your advantage – narrow corridors are death traps, but open rooms give you room to maneuver. If you’re feeling brave, try the “goblin pinball” technique: push them into walls with Wind Wand, then hit them with Piss-Yuk as they bounce back for maximum points.

Guards: The Two-Hit Killers

Guards are those menacing red-armored knights that patrol the tower corridors, and they are absolutely terrifying. These guys deal massive damage – 50% of your HP per hit – meaning two mistakes and you’re dead. What makes them particularly dangerous is their sound sensitivity combined with their deceptive speed when aggroed.

Guard Behavior Patterns:

Poor pathfinding but surprisingly fast when alerted
Cannot climb or jump – use this to your advantage
Helmet can be shot off for bonus points
Attracted to loud speech, coughing, and spell casting

Survival Strategies: The key to surviving Guards is understanding that you’re not supposed to fight them directly. Your best approach is what I call “hit and run tactics.” Shoot their helmet off for quick points (usually +50), then immediately disengage. Use the Duplico spell to create decoys that distract them while you escape.

Pro Guard Tips: Always use verticality against Guards. They can’t climb, so getting to higher ground is essentially a get-out-of-jail-free card. In tight corridors, use objects and furniture as barriers – Guards have to walk around obstacles, giving you time to escape. If you’re playing co-op, have one teammate create noise while others sneak past.

Headless Guards: The Nightmare Version

Just when you thought Guards couldn’t get any worse, welcome Headless Guards. These are essentially Guards on steroids – same two-hit kill capability but with dramatically increased movement and attack speed. They’re relatively rare but absolutely terrifying when they appear.

Why Headless Guards Are So Dangerous:

Faster movement speed than regular Guards
Quicker attack animations
Same sound sensitivity but more aggressive response
Often appear in the most inconvenient locations

Counter Strategy: There’s really only one rule with Headless Guards: KEEP MAXIMUM DISTANCE. Don’t even think about trying to farm points off these guys. If you see one, immediately start moving away while using terrain to break line of sight. The Astral Wand’s Up Dog spell can help you quickly gain vertical separation.

Emergency Escape: If a Headless Guard corners you, your best bet is the Void Caller’s Blink spell for instant teleportation away. Failing that, use any available objects to block their path and sprint for the nearest exit or hiding spot.

The Jester: The Tower’s Deadliest Predator

The Jester is, without exaggeration, the most terrifying enemy in YapYap. This fast-moving, insta-killing monstrosity is the stuff of nightmares and has ended more runs than any other enemy combined. When you hear that maniacal laughter, your heart should immediately start pounding.

Jester Characteristics:

Extremely fast movement speed
Instant kill on contact
Lock-on targeting – once spotted, you’re marked
Makes a distinctive laughing sound when nearby
Can be countered with voice commands (rare mechanic)

Survival is Everything: The moment you see or hear The Jester, your only priority is RUN. Don’t try to fight, don’t try to be clever – just run. Use every mobility spell you have: Blink, Up Dog, anything to put distance between you and certain death.

Advanced Jester Tactics: Some players have reported success with the Shrink spell from the Illusion Wand, which can temporarily reduce The Jester’s size. Others have used voice counters (saying specific prompts when prompted), but this is extremely risky and requires perfect timing. Your safest bet is always escape.

The Eye: The Laser Turret

The Eye might look like just a floating eyeball, but this stationary enemy is deceptively dangerous. It functions like a turret, tracking players with a damaging laser beam that can chip away at your health while you’re trying to deal with other threats.

Eye Behavior:

Completely stationary but rotates to track players
Fires a continuous laser beam that deals steady damage
Vision-based detection – doesn’t react to sound
Often spawns in locations that force bad positioning
Laser can be interrupted by breaking line of sight

Countering The Eye: The strategy is simple but crucial: BREAK LINE OF SIGHT. Use walls, pillars, corners, or any available cover to interrupt the laser beam. The real danger from The Eye comes from how it distracts you while other monsters close in for the kill.

Pro Eye Tips: Always clear your escape path before engaging with The Eye. Many players make the mistake of focusing too much on dodging the laser while backing into a more dangerous situation. If possible, use the Storm Wand’s Tempest spell to push other enemies away while you deal with The Eye.

The Slime: The Path Blocker

The Slime might seem harmless at first – it’s slow, doesn’t attack directly, and is easy to avoid in open spaces. But this green gelatinous cube becomes deadly in tight corridors where it can block your escape routes, essentially trapping you with more dangerous enemies.

Why Slimes Are Situational Threats:

Slow movement but blocks paths completely
Cannot be killed or moved by normal means
Particularly dangerous near staircases and narrow corridors
Creates death traps when combined with other enemies

Slime Management Strategy: The key to dealing with Slimes is path management. Always be aware of where Slimes are positioned relative to your escape routes. Never let a Slime get between you and an exit, especially when other enemies are active.

Advanced Slime Tactics: Some players have reported limited success using the Grotesque Wand’s Fishify spell to temporarily transform Slimes, but this is inconsistent. Your best bet is simply planning your movements to avoid getting boxed in. In co-op games, designate one player as “Slime watcher” to track their positions.

Time Ghost: The Unavoidable End

The Time Ghost isn’t really a monster in the traditional sense – it’s more like the game’s enforcement mechanism. This blue apparition spawns automatically when the level timer hits 00:00, and its appearance means instant death for everyone still in the tower.

Time Ghost Mechanics:

Spawns precisely at 00:00 timer
Instantly kills all players remaining in the tower
Cannot be fought, avoided, or escaped once spawned
Serves as the game’s “hard stop” mechanism

The Only Counter: Extract Early There’s no way to counter the Time Ghost once it appears. Your only strategy is time management. Always keep track of the clock and prioritize reaching the extraction point before the timer expires. I recommend setting a personal deadline of 23:30 to start heading for extraction, giving yourself buffer time for emergencies.

Pro Timing Tips: In co-op games, designate one player as “time keeper” responsible for calling out time warnings. Use the in-game timer display (top-right of HUD) and always have an escape plan ready. Remember: a successful extraction with fewer points is always better than a full team wipe.

Duplico: The Clone Master

Duplico is a unique enemy that actually starts as a spell but can become a dangerous foe in certain situations. This creature has the ability to clone itself, creating multiple copies that can quickly overwhelm unprepared players.

Duplico Characteristics:

Can clone itself repeatedly
Medium threat level but can escalate quickly
Sound-based detection
Clones share the same abilities as the original

Counter Strategy: The Storm Wand’s Tempest spell is incredibly effective against Duplico and its clones. The tornado effect can spin-kill multiple clones at once, clearing the field quickly. Alternatively, the Void Caller’s Void Nova can suck in and destroy all nearby duplicates.

Advanced Duplico Tactics: When facing Duplico, focus on eliminating clones quickly before they can multiply further. Area-of-effect spells are your best friend here. In co-op games, coordinate your attacks to focus down the original Duplico first, as this often causes all clones to despawn.

Voice Control & Monster Detection

One of YapYap’s unique features is its voice-controlled spell system, but this also creates unique challenges when dealing with sound-sensitive monsters. Your microphone is always active, and even casual conversation can attract unwanted attention.

Microphone Management:

Loud talking or coughing will attract Guards and Goblins
Spell casting produces sound that can alert nearby enemies
Adjust mic sensitivity in settings, but remember silence is often best
Consider using push-to-talk in co-op games

Detection Types Explained:

Sound-Based (Guards, Goblins): React to noise, break line of sight to escape
Vision-Based (The Eye): Tracks visually, hide behind cover
Lock-On (The Jester): Once spotted, you’re marked – run immediately
Timer-Based (Time Ghost): Spawns at 00:00 regardless of detection

Point Farming Strategies

Surviving is great, but YapYap is also about hitting those quotas. Understanding which monsters are worth farming for points is crucial for successful runs.

Best Point Farm Targets:

Goblins: Perfect for farming with Piss-Yuk (+5 per hit)
Guards: Helmet shots for +50 points, then run
Vandalism: Breaking objects, burning items (2x points)

Farming Safety Rules:

Never get greedy – set a time limit and stick to it
Always prioritize escape over farming
Balance point farming with escape timeline
Remember that farming attracts more dangerous spawns

Pro Farming Technique: The “goblin pinball” method involves using Wind Wand to push goblins against walls, then hitting them multiple times with Piss-Yuk as they bounce back. This can generate 50+ points from a single goblin if done correctly.

Death Penalties & Team Wipes

Understanding what happens when you die is crucial for team survival and planning your runs.

Individual Death Consequences:

All items in your inventory drop at death location
Your corpse remains visible for teammates to recover items
Team quota progress is reduced
Dead players cannot contribute to objectives

Full Team Wipe Warning: If everyone dies, you lose ALL items on the ship. Always leave at least one person alive as a safety net! This is why many successful teams designate a “ship guard” who stays back while others explore.

Recovery Strategies: When a teammate dies, immediately plan a recovery mission if the situation allows. Use voice commands to coordinate: “Revive” (hold right-click) while near downed teammates. But don’t risk a full team wipe for recovery – sometimes you have to cut your losses.

Co-op Team Strategies

YapYap is best played with friends, and proper team coordination can dramatically increase your survival chances.

Optimal Team Roles:

1 Burner: Focus on vandalism for quick points
1 Scout: Handles extraction and puzzle solving
2 Fighters: Deal with monster threats
1 Support: Revives and creates distractions

Communication Essentials:

Use push-to-talk to avoid attracting monsters
Call out monster locations: “Jester left!” or “Guard corridor!”
Coordinate spell combos for maximum effect
Establish emergency signals for quick extraction

Team Spell Combos:

One Tempest + squad Up Dog = flying squad wipe
Duplico distraction + Blink escape
Shrink on tough enemies + team focus fire

Advanced Survival Techniques

Once you’ve mastered the basics, these advanced techniques can help you survive even the most challenging runs.

Movement Mastery:

Learn to chain mobility spells for infinite flight (Up Dog into Tempest)
Use terrain to break line of sight consistently
Practice “panic jumps” to escape tight situations
Master the art of the quick 180-degree turn

Spell Combos:

Void Nova into Blink for area clear + escape
Shrink + Tempest for crowd control
Duplico + Arrow for distraction + damage
Ignis + furniture for environmental traps

Psychological Warfare:

Use voice commands strategically to lure enemies
Create diversions with spell noise
Learn monster pathing patterns to predict movements
Use environmental objects as temporary barriers
