Description
An image of a glass bottle of Almond Water.
Almond Water is a substance found in levels across the Backrooms. It is a critical source of hydration, and slight nutritional value. It is a sweet almond/vanilla flavored water that can be found in bottles of several different types, typically without a brand or label on them. Almond water can be found in clear water bottles, metal water bottles, glass wine bottles, and even cartons. It can be traded for, traded with, and can be used to repel entities and to cure some ailments.
Identification
The Backrooms can house several liquids, many of them are not safe to drink or even touch. Almond Water has a distinct, albeit faint, smell of vanilla and rose water. It has a subtle taste of sweet, watery almond butter. If it does not exhibit these qualities, and isn't clearly fresh water, avoid it.
Usage
For whatever reason, Almond water can sometimes treat ailments, including neutralizing the effects of hostile entities. It also can help maintain one's health. Some examples of uses of Almond water include helping with the symptoms of the "disease", stopping someone from becoming a Wretch, and possibly saving someone affected by the Splat (though this is unconfirmed). It can also be used to maintain one's focus, especially when facing entities.
Locations
Almond Water sources can be found on many levels of the Backrooms, and in many ways. The most common containers of Almond Water are in water coolers, water fountains, vending machines, and (rarely) bottles of it, which can be found scattered throughout Level 4. Almond Water can also be found fried in Level 32, dripping from the ceiling on Level 5, flowing from streams in Level 30, dispensed from sinks in Level 5, buried in Level 19's soil, and carried within tanks in the Almond Water Rooms, among many, many other Levels. Almond Water can notably be found in Level 34, but with heavy waste being inside the tunnel, the Almond Water from that level is dangerous to drink unless it's fully sanitized, even if it's already been boiled. Almond Water has been found in Negative Levels, such as Level -100's fridges, but it has been agreed that it shouldn't be consumed without precaution.
Reports & Theories
Most reports of Almond Water have been verified as true, but there are a few unconfirmed reports.
