The Dentist - Shift At Midnight Guide

The Shift at Midnight guide explains that the Dentist cannot be defeated with weapons, traps, or barricades.

The enemy appears throughout the game, but direct takedown is not possible until the final night.

During the final shift, players must keep running forward until they reach Sheriff Clyde.

Sheriff Clyde triggers a cutscene that ends the chase, making this the key survival strategy.
