How to Distract Cartman in South Hell: Chicken, Clocks and Traps

• Fried Chicken: Throw it where Cartman can find it when you have a bucket ready. You can also try throwing it while fleeing.
• Alarm Clock: Use it when you have time to place a delayed sound and move away before it rings.
• Trap: Try placing it during a chase and leading Cartman over it, but keep a way out in case he goes around it.
• Boombox: This paid option plays music and can interrupt a chase with a 10-second dance.

1. Approach a Fried Chicken bucket and press E to pick it up.
2. Equip the chicken from your hotbar.
3. Aim somewhere Cartman can find it and press M1 to throw it.

The chicken acts as bait. If Cartman is already chasing you, you can try throwing it as you flee, but keep moving toward safety.

1. Select the Alarm Clock in your hotbar.
2. Aim its placement preview at the ground and press M1 to place it.
3. Move away before it rings. If a HIDING PLACE is nearby, press E to enter it.

The ringing draws Cartman toward the clock. The item instruction describes a 10-second delay; a placement message can show a 12-second countdown. Use the countdown shown after placement to time your retreat.

1. Select Trap from its hotbar slot.
2. Aim at the ground and click to place it.
3. During a chase, try to lead Cartman over it while continuing toward a hiding place.

Keep another route open: Cartman can walk around a placed Trap.

Boombox is a paid game pass that plays songs nearby players can hear. Its music can stop Cartman's chase and make him dance for 10 seconds. Use that opening to move away or reach cover. Compare its price and benefits with Night Vision Goggles in the game pass guide.
