Tips & Tricks
In Slender: The Eight Pages, you’ll need to collect Eight Pages to complete the game.
While you’re collecting pages, you’ll periodically face off against the Slender Man — a ghoulish creature in a suit with a blank face.
There are ten page locations, with the eight pages randomly switching locations for each playthrough.
As you collect more pages, the danger increases. Slender Man will chase you faster — but there’s a catch. Slender Man can only kill you if you’re looking at him.
One trick to completing Slender, is by collecting the very first page, then wondering around until Slender Man appears.
Once he appears, never turn around to face your back. Never spin around, never double-back.
The best way to complete Slender is by taking every page around the area in a circular manner, so you’ll never need to backtrack. To make this easier, use the Slender map found here.
The multiple bathrooms in the center of the map are the trickiest part. Search the bathrooms for a page early, or Slender Man can trap you inside.
If you know where you’re going, shut off the flashlight to make it harder for Slender Man to chase you. Alternatively, don’t sprint often, the faster you run the faster Slender Man will chase you.
When you collect the sixth page, Slender Man will always spawn directly behind you. Don’t turn around or you’ll die instantly!
In game terms, Slender Man literally cannot move when you spot him. He’ll only get closer when you look away, then look at him again. Use this to your advantage by lining yourself up so your perspective on the Slender Man is blocked by a tree or other surface, while you only see a small portion of his body. Especially make sure your view does not look at his face. Back away, and Slender Man will be stuck until you’re out of range.

Whats the point of getting one page an once you see him never turn around? he’ll still catch you cause if your walking an hes right behind you your forced to turn around
My tip is that the SlendrMan is staling you BEFORE you get the first page .After 4 mins. the SlenderMan is starting to stalk you and you can die even if you don’t have the first page

Your flashlight slowly dies as time passes so it is better to try to finish quickly or conserve its battery, otherwise you will be left in permanent dark
I always heard that you should visit the bathroom last… It always worked for me, anyways. I’ve only gotten to six pages, but never go to the bathroom first. You’ll get the page, and he’ll be around the corner.

Believing in Slenderman is like believing in Santa: You don’t see him, but you know he’s watching you….
when you play slender, collect the pages fast. if you walk too long, slender will suddenly appear in front of you, even if you have one or even zero pages.
