Jar O' Dark is a very rare item within The Backrooms.


Description:

Jar O' Dark, also known as Black Juice, Black Water, or The Last Resort, is a very rare drink found within the backrooms that can only be obtained by either finding it within dark places or by compounding all liquids present within the backrooms (don't try this, it's very risky and could lead to your death).

Identification:

One can identify a Jar O' Dark when it comes to its overall design. The Jar O' Death looks like a regular jar with a metal lock that contains pitch-black liquid. The liquid also exudes a certain odor that is very similar to the smell of burning toast, which is the most common adaptation of its smell. Some people claim that it often smells like: sewage water, ciggarette smoke, and burning wood, aswell.

Properties:

The current properties of the liquid within the Jar O' Dark is still unidentifiable at this moment. The effects of the liquid vary towards many things, it can vaporize Almond Water, neutralize any poison or corrosive substance, and can even grant wanderers the power to cheat death.

Consuming the liquid also causes the wanderer's existence to be telepathically broadcasted throughout the entire level you're in. All of the entities within the level will then cease all current actions and will start to look for you filled with seemingly-unending anger (also affects non-hostile/docile entities).

Regarding the ability to manipulate the proponents of death, it is unsure why the black substance gives you this potent ability. Wanderers describe the sensation as if millions of needles are peircing them throughout their bodies and that they feel very cold from the inside out. Some wanderers also claim that they can see the embodiment of death itself. The last part of this paragraph is yet to be proven, although we might have an idea on what it was.

To cheat death, you need to be aware of the things that may or might kill you, or else the drink's effects won't begin to kick in. Once you're in a aware and sensitive state, it is impossible to leave this state until the effects of the drink run out. The manifestation of the ability could differ from one person to another, one can become absolutely invincible, one could regenerate rapidly from a molecular level, some could transfer their fate to someone else's, and most would just be able to eliminate the cause of their death from reality (Permanent Deletion). More information is needed regarding this substance.

The average duration time of the effect the drink can give could last to about 10 Hours. The longest time ever recorded was 5 Days. The shortest one on the other hand, lasted for 10 Minutes. Due to this information, we could conclude that the effects depend on the person itself.

Absolute Pain

Absolute Pain, is a variation of the Jar O' Dark that can only be attained by mixing a 2/3 cup of Liquid Pain and 1/3 of a cup of Jar O' Dark. It can instantly kill any lesser entities upon contact, entities such as: Death Rats, Death Moths, Death Wasps, Wall Worms, Clumps, Partygoers, etc. Liquid Properties are yet to be Identified.
