Cenobite, the Lament Configuration and Excessive Chains.
I love Cenobite's mechanics, I think it's quite unique. My only issue is that whenever I've been trying to do the box- I can't even attempt to solve it because chains are non-stop shooting at me. I would love if there's some kind of mechanic that at least pauses it for the duration of solving the lament. It's overkill, and it's almost impossible to get done.
If there's something I'm totally missing, (bear in mind, i've only versed him a handful of times and haven't bought him myself) please let me know. Or if there's any counters I don't know about!

As soon as you begin solving the Lament Configuration, the Chains will stop spawning.

Maybe there's a glitch, but that isn't the case when I played it the other day. While I was solving it, I was getting chains shot at me and interrupting the action.

What should happen is that you'll have three chains spawn after you, and after the third you have a small pause. Beginning to solve the Box during this pause basically prevents any more from spawning, while trying to solve during the middle of one of the groups of 3 guarantees you'll be chained and interrupted.

Same. I hear about how you just have to time it but either that timing is such a small window that it's impossible to actually hit or I'm too dum to figure it out. If I start solving the millisecond I break the Chain, a chain spawns. If I wait for an opening, they won't stop. If I finally see said opening and start, a chain was actually spawning at the time so too late!
I get there should be a downside to holding onto the box but making it damn near impossible to solve if you've held the box for more than five seconds (or the Chain Hunt already started before you get there) doesn't seem like a great solve...

It might be because you were trying to solve the box during an active chain hunt?

The trick is to be solving the box or carrying it from the beginning of the game, so you never get chain hunt.

Are you sure it wasn’t Pinhead manually shooting a chain at you? A common tactic is Pinhead walks toward you when you are solving the box and shoots a chain when they get in range.
FYI the last patch included a note that said it fixed a bug where Chain Hunt would shoot chains at you while you solved the box, so that shouldn’t happen.

100% wasn't pinhead himself, he was having fun with my friend somewhere else.
Next time I play against him I will pay attention to see if that patch is right. I'll have to check when the last patch was versus when I had the issues.

This has always been my experience. If I wait for the pause after the three chains spawn, I have no problems. I think they didn't do a good enough job of explaining that these chains always spawn in threes, and no NEW trio of chains will spawn when you begin solving.
