Easy difficulty is Ghost Babel with training wheels.

  • More resources spawn
  • Some bosses become easier
  • Snake is built like a tank, needing a ration is fairly unlikely.
  • Fewer guards and cameras
  • One of the awkward aspects of Easy is that Alerts and Evasions clear faster than other difficulties.
  • Guards without body armor die in 1 bullet, 2 bullets with body armor.
  • Guards without body armor will die immediately if you triple punch them.

Stage 04 Map by Eishiya


  • If you are confident in your play, skip the rations near the end and pick up the ration in the first screen of Stage 09.
  • You want to pick up the R5 before the final dogs' screen! Clip here
  • Make sure to press the button on the edge closest to the next button
  • Be careful not to mash while pressing and accidentally press again
  • On the 3 shifts, you can press normally on the first then rapidly mash on the second to have the third one occur automatically (refer to the above bullet point)
  • You can swap the first and second buttons in any sequence, but the preferred orders are listed below
