Tactics and Strategy
The Boys of Silence, blind from birth, are placed as security in Comstock House. With enhanced hearing, the Boys of Silence essentially function as security cameras with legs.
A Boy of Silence stands in place and swivels his head, searching for intruders. If he detects you, the light on his mask turns yellow, and if he keeps spotting you, it turns red. Then, he’ll teleport away, and the minions of Comstock House will be directed to attack you.
This is not ideal, since the Comstock House minions are incredibly durable warriors that attack in large numbers, and can wipe you out in a hurry. Avoid being detected by a Boy of Silence at all costs.
Even though this foe takes a human form, he cannot be killed. If attacked, the Boy of Silence immediately spots you and raises the alarm.
Try to avoid a Boy of Silence by staying away from his area of detection. He surveys the area in a predetermined pattern—watch his pattern and move past him whenever he starts scanning in a different direction. As long as you carefully monitor his pattern of detection, avoiding him should be no problem.
You cannot kill Boys of Silence.
