Labyrinth Madmen are extremely fast and aggressive enemies that come sprinting towards you while flailing attacks as soon as they spot you. They have excellent vision and can spot you from a considerable distance away, so it's important to listen out for the shrill scream they make as they run because they can cover that distance very quickly. Twin sickle-wielding madmen can inflict a tremendous amount of damage and their rapid attacks give you only brief openings in which to hit them. This threat is compounded by the fact that they are not easily flinched, even with heavy weapons, so you'll only ever get the chance to hit them once or twice before having to back off.

Single sickle Madmen are slightly less aggressive than those with two, and they tend not to run around as much once they're close to you. The key differences, however, are their lower amount of super armor, which means they're much easier to deal with once you start attacking them, and the fact that they'll occasionally decide to walk around slowly without attacking, allowing you to regain stamina or heal. Unlike other enemies, it's also recommended that you do not to try and stay behind them while attacking because many of their attacks reach far behind them. In a macabre display, the final type of Madman carries a rotting corpse in both hands which is used as a surprisingly effective weapon. Each attack from these enemies emits a small cloud of toxic fumes that cause large amounts of rapid poison buildup, making them incredibly dangerous.

Unlike the madmen wielding two sickles, you can cause this enemy to flinch relatively easily by using quicksilver bullets, and this can be an especially effective tactic if you're using weapons with long reach such as the Rifle Spear. One of their more commonly used attacks Overhead Swinging Combo, which ends with a heavily delayed third hit to bait you walking into it; if you evade the first two hits, it's worth trying to interrupt the last one since it has such a lengthy animation. From close range they may use up to two kicks; although these will do little damage, they are fast and hard to evade, so if you get hit with one it's important to be slightly defensive in case they're using it to setup another attack. When using shorter weapons, quickstep past and through their attacks and hit their backs a few times before quickstepping backward to get away from them before they can turn around and attack again.
