** One document notes that Murkoff employees thing that Wernicke missed the three new Lucid Dreamers because he was too preoccupied with Billy's success. As we see by his actions at the end of the game, ''he realised how bad more than one could be'', given the chaos Billy causes, so didn't say anything.

** Before encountering Eddie himself, you can find one of his pieces of…well, macabre "art". It's a mutilated male corpsr with the head of another man sticking out of an opening carved into his taint, in a gruesome mimicking of childbirth. Just to give [[NauseaFuel the full extent of gruesome,]] that includes the man's chest sliced open and stuffed to resemble female breasts, the belly sliced open and stuffed with other bits to show pregnancy, and a severed head stuffed where the nether-regions were messily removed. [[YouDontWantToKnow Do not]] look for an image; it's absolutely full of '''[[BrainBleach nope]].'''
** Later, Waylon enters a gymnasium…and finds that the gym ceiling is covered with the hanged, mutilated corpses of Eddie's victims. There are easily ''dozens'' of them. And not only do you see hanging corpses, but there are also his decapitated victims, whose heads were placed on mannequins scattered around the room.

* The Male Ward chase scene is one of the most panic attack-inducing sequences in the game. Miles drops from a vent into a room with a [[OhCrap man tied to a chair who wakes up and immediately begins screaming in terror]]... and then a bunch of vicious, cannibalistic patients start banging down the door, and you're forced to watch their progress as you (excruciatingly slowly) move an obstruction out of the way so that you can escape. Cue even ''more'' patients that start bursting through doors to chase after you, and as one pursuer so threateningly puts it, ''you can't hide'' -- unlike the stealth elements of the rest of the game, you ''must'' keep running and timing your jumps and climbs correctly, or they'll hack you to pieces. Mercifully, it's difficult to get lost in this section (you'll find yourself at multiple forks in the path, but it's easy to determine which way you're supposed to go), but the intense musical score and bloodthirsty threats from your pursuers make it feel all the more harrowing. Worse yet, Miles's escape leads him to a dead end, and the final moments show that if the dumbwaiter hadn't come, he would have been ''seconds'' from death. [[FromBadToWorse Not that the rescue was a blessing...]]

* One of the rooms in the sewers is a massive underground reservoir, so large it renders the camera's IR pretty much useless. Far on the other side, you see a little speck of light. The sheer size of the reservoir is foreboding in itself, but it's not long before you hear the clinking of Chris Walker's chains. And the echos in the room make it nearly impossible to find out which direction the sound's coming from, forcing you to walk through chest-deep water towards the light and pray that he doesn't find you. He loves to hang right around the stairway and ladder, too, and will immediately find you once you're there even if he wasn't looking at you before.

** Knowing his horrible past also makes his ''very'' first scene where you meet him, when he's still somewhat sane and lucid, [[FridgeHorror sickening in retrospect.]] The orderlies, two large men, are dragging him into the Engine kicking and screaming, they've stripped him down to his underwear, and what is he doing? Desperately pleading for help ''and screaming that they're going to rape him.''
* [[BigBad Jeremy Blaire]] himself may not be a deformed mental patient, but he is arguably one of the scariest enemies in the game, due to his utter indifference to the abuse and exploitation happening at Mount Massive, his willingness to do terrible things to you (even kill Waylon ''and'' his family) [[LackOfEmpathy without feeling any remorse,]] and his attempts to keep you from spreading the truth about Murkoff above anything else. He even tricks Waylon into thinking he's trying to help him escape at the end, then stabs him in the back (well, the stomach, but still.) He gets a gruesome but [[KarmicDeath well-deserved death]] from the Walrider. Almost everyone else has the excuse of being, well, ''insane'' or a WellIntentionedExtremist; Blaire is just an asshole with zero redeeming qualities. In the comics, we see how "Dr." Trager ended up at the Asylum; having been committed there by none other than Blaire himself. With Blaire doing it with the utmost glee. There is absolutely ''no one'' that's safe from this asshole, not even his "buddies."

Added DiffLines:

* The DLC starts out with the intensely stressful chase sequences in the vanilla game's last level, with you having to intermittently flee from a pissed-off Walrider who will shred you in seconds if you don't reach a decontamination chamber fast enough.


Added DiffLines:

* There's a moment Waylon will remark on when he's trying to make his way through the labs. A man will bang on the glass of the decontamination chamber, begging for help and initially saying he's part of staff...before noticing Waylon's getup and switching his story to say he's a patient. It's ultimately moot as a Variant kills him in short order, but the chilling thing is, you can't tell which is true: was he a patient trying to survive by claiming to be an orderly, who then switched his story when he saw a fellow victim? Or was he a Murkoff employee who knew full well that the hideous things they'd been doing to patients would earn him no sympathy from Waylon?

** Knowing his horrible past also makes his ''very'' first scene where you meet him, when he's still somewhat sane and lucid, [[FridgeHorror sickening in retrospect.]] The orderlies, two large men, are dragging him into the engine kicking and screaming, they've stripped him down to his underwear, and what is he doing? Desperately pleading for help ''and screaming that they're going to rape him.''

* The infamous ColdBloodedTorture scene is skin-crawlingly sickening.

The [[SarcasmMode good doctor]] proceeds to [[{{Fingore}} cut off a finger on each of Miles's hands, the pointer finger on the right hand and the ring finger on the left hand]] even punching Miles to keep him from passing out. Once Trager leaves, presumably to find something else to torture Miles with, Miles manages to get himself free, only to violently throw up immediately after.]] It becomes worse with a dash of FridgeHorror: it's [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/outlast/images/9/9e/12.png/revision/latest?cb=20130909202742 implied]] that after the fingers he was going to go for the [[GroinAttack groin]] and [[TongueTrauma tongue]] next, had Miles not escaped.

* One of the rooms in the sewers is a massive underground reservoir, so large it renders the camera's IR pretty much useless. Far on the other side, you see a little speck of light. The sheer size of the reservoir is foreboding in itself, but it's not long before you hear the clinking of Chris Walker's chains. And the echos in the room make it nearly impossible to find out which direction the sound's coming from, forcing you to walk through chest-deep water towards the light and pray that he doesn't find you. He only appears once you jump to the exit ladder, making the buildup that much worse.

** What makes the stuff with Trager worse (though thankfully ''not'' for Miles) is that you pass a screaming inmate while in the Wheelchair. Trager mentions that the inmate wasn't "putting that tongue to any use anyway" implying he's cut it out. The only thing Trager could have cut it out with are the enormous scissors he cut your fingers off with...
