Twisted Tisha is a Common roaming Twisted with a distinctive sweep. The official 0.24.1 description confirms a new AI behavior, while current community guides describe her periodically stopping to sweep for an extended pause before resuming patrol. That pause creates a routing window, but it also makes her position less predictable than a roamer that keeps moving.
Read the sweep correctly
When Tisha stops, do not assume she is disabled. Use the pause to identify which corridor she occupies, move behind solid cover, or choose a different machine. Crossing directly in front of her can still create a chase, and the end of the sweep may place her back on patrol just as a player enters the hall.
The safest operation is to wait for her orientation, move through a route outside direct vision, and keep a second exit. If a machine sits near the sweep point, do not start work merely because she appears stationary. Let her resume and move away first.
Counter during normal patrol
Treat Tisha as a standard line-of-sight threat between sweeps. Walk while safe, save stamina, and leave machines before she reaches the approach. If spotted, sprint only long enough to reach cover, turn the corner, and remain hidden until attention ends.
Avoid looping her around a machine cluster. Her periodic stop can pin the route longer than expected and force extractors to abandon work. A distractor should move the chase toward a cleaner loop before breaking sight.
Sound matters. Listen for the patrol and sweeping behavior so you do not rely only on a doorway view. On a blackout or visually cluttered floor, audio provides the earlier warning.
Research route
Collect Twisted Tisha capsules when the surrounding rooms are clear. A first encounter can be registered with a controlled sighting; there is no need to extend the chase. Rodger accelerates Research according to current community documentation, but his low movement means the escape route must be chosen first.
Tisha Research is also relevant to the Feather Duster Trinket in community data. Verify the 100% reward in your Twisteds menu. Do not turn a Trinket goal into a team wipe by walking through a sweep without cover.
Floor and team decisions
Call “Tisha sweeping” with a location. This tells teammates both that the corridor is occupied and that its timing may change soon. If another Twisted is present, route based on the more dangerous combination: a paused Tisha can block the cover needed to escape a faster threat.
During Panic Mode, do not crowd the shortest hallway if Tisha is sweeping there. Take the longer safe route when stamina and elevator time allow. A temporary delay is better than forcing several Toons through the same detection cone.
Mistakes and recovery
- Mistaking a sweep for a harmless animation.
- Starting a nearby machine without waiting for patrol to resume and leave.
- Crossing Tisha’s front because the pause looked long.
- Pulling her into an extractor’s room during a Research attempt.
- Returning through the same corner before attention ended.
- Assuming the 0.24.1 headline supplies exact AI timing.
If a chase begins unexpectedly, abandon the intended shortcut. Use a known obstruction, regain distance, and exit the area. Warn the team before the chase enters machine rooms.
Twisted Tisha FAQ
What changed in version 0.24.1?
The official listing names new Twisted Tisha AI behavior. Current community references describe a long sweeping idle in her patrol.
Can she detect players while sweeping?
Do not treat the animation as immunity. Stay outside sight and verify current live behavior rather than testing by walking in front of her.
Is Tisha dangerous to beginners?
Her basic chase is manageable when the player saves stamina and uses cover. The unusual pause causes mistakes when players assume a corridor will remain clear.
What does full Research unlock?
Current community data links Twisted Tisha Research to the Feather Duster Trinket. Check your Twisteds menu for the live reward.
