Survival Difficulty: Class 3
》Unsafe
》Unsecure
》Moderate Entity Count

Description

Level 4242 is an expansive labyrinth of tiled halls and public showers. The humidity in this level is very high, and as a result a dense fog usually covers various rooms in the level. The showers also tend to be on with the water either freezing cold or dangerously hot. The tiled floor is also covered in a very thin layer of water and is constantly slippery as a result. As a result of the high humidity in this level, pneumonia is very commonly caught by wanderers who linger in this level for too long. Aside from the humid halls and showers, there are also rooms with pools in them. These pools can range from simple kiddie pools sitting in the center of the room to overly opulent lake-like pools that are surrounded by golden statues of various entities and shapes. These pools are sometimes filled with either regular water or almond water, but the vast majority of pools in this level are filled with an anomalous opaque liquid. This liquid, depending on what color it is, has various anomalous effects on living organisms that are not native to the level.

Entities

Level 4242's inhabitants consists of several entities encountered from all across other levels of the Backrooms, but the level itself also has a single kind of native entity.

Poolfish

Entity Hazard: Class 0
》Entity Number: 4242a
》Habitat: Level 4242

As the name implies, poolfish are entities that live in both clear and opaque pools in the level regardless of the size of the body of water. These entities usually resemble either Siamese fighting fish or marine angelfish from the Frontrooms. However, these entities have patterns or colors that are either not found in nature or simply not physically possible for a Frontrooms animal to replicate through genetics or breeding. These entities behave exactly like their Frontrooms counterparts, but they do not attack each other for any reason. If an individual is placed in a pool with a color different from the pool it was found in, it will die of suffocation. If placed into a pool of the same color as its 'native pool', it will be fine and these displaced individuals can even hybridize with the native poolfish. If no other poolfish are in a pool, a lone poolfish will reproduce parthenogenetically until several more poolfish in the pool.

Water Weirds

Entity Hazard: Class 5
》Entity Number: 4242b
》Habitat: Level 4242

On occasion, a pool you might come across might not have any poolfish in it. While some of these pools are simply devoid of entities, these pools might play host to a water weird. Also jokingly called 'piss weirds' by wanderers depending on the color of the liquid they were found in, water weirds take the form of thick tendrils of the liquid in their native pool. They are hostile and reactive to entities coming into their room, surging towards the intruder, grappling them and pulling them down into the depths of their pool. Even if whoever is pulled into the pool doesn't die to the anomalous effects of the fluid they get pulled into, drowning will do the rest.

Befouled Weirds

If you introduce poolfish into a pool of their 'native color' that is host to a water weird, the poolfish are utterly ignored by the water weird itself. As the poolfish reproduce, the water weird will begin to weaken as the poolfish grow in numbers. These 'befouled weirds' slowly die over the course of two weeks as a result of the presence of poolfish, with attacks from befouled weirds growing less and less successful as they weaken. When a befouled weird dies, the surface of the liquid will appear to scream before growing completely still for up to three days.

Colonies and Outposts

There are no known colonies or outposts on this level.

Anomalous Pools

A violet pool found on Level 4242.

Aside from pools of clear water that are not anomalous, violet and yellow pools are the most common, and it is recommended not to jump into a pool of an undocumented color unless you have had somebody else do that.

Anomalous Pools and Their Myriad Effects

  • Red pools cause the flesh of wanderers to bruise at the point of contact.
  • Orange pools lead to Level 458 if you jump into them.
  • Yellow pools dries out the skin at the point of contact. Brief contact causes slight and harmless dryness, but full immersion takes less than thirty seconds before skin becomes flaky and dry and cracks or peels off like mud flakes at the bottom of a dried up lake.
  • Green pools cause gas gangrene in wanderers if jumped into or touched.
  • Blue pools permanently causes the blood of wanderers that make contact with the liquid to turn into pure gasoline with no noticeable health effects.
  • Indigo pools cause whoever jumped into the pool to experience audiovisual hallucinations as long as that someone is in it.
  • Purple pools cause whoever jumped into the pool to turn into solid statues of an unknown resin-like material. This is irreversible and whoever jumps into purple pools is considered dead.
  • Violet pools, also jokingly called 'lean pools' by wanderers, increase one's perception of time if jumped into. When one jumps into the pool, the shift in temporal perception is so great that a decade can seem to last for an hour or more.

Entrances and Exits

Entrances

Aside from noclipping here, there are two direct ways to access this level.

  • Walking through a violet door in Level 105 will take you to this level.
  • Finding a flower crown made solely of purple flowers in Level 1064 and putting it on will teleport you to this level.

Exits

While there is no real reliable way out aside from noclipping and jumping into orange pools, any door you find in the level has a small chance of leading to a different level.
