Known behavior and practical response
The launch post says that once awakened, it will not lose the player trail.
- Leave it sleeping when possible.
Avoid waking it unnecessarily
The launch warning says Sleeper keeps following after being disturbed. September 1 updated its look-around animation, not a published chase timer. No guaranteed distance or hiding trick is supplied by those notes.
Location and level evidence
Enemy sets and bosses are level-specific after September 10. The announcements do not publish a complete location/level assignment; an unknown location is not a confirmed absence.
- Exact level, boss role, damage and range remain unverified.
Dated changes
Review the date as well as the behavior: a historical adjustment is not a new September mechanic.
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-09-01 | Anchor pull and Sleeper looking animations were updated; Man in Shadows can land only one hit at a time. |
