Level 8 is the 9th level of the Backrooms. The level's existence was proven by u/Bart0nius and u/avolded using a remotely-operated vehicle to locate an underwater exit in Level 7. Said exit led to a large open cavern that happened to be Level 8.

Description
Level 8 is an expansive cave system with numerous spiders and spider like entities inhabiting it. Like Level 7, it is pitch black without proper light sources. There's many nests that spiders made, most inhabited by small venomous spiders and massive king and queen spiders. The king spiders of these colonies are fortunately not venomous but the queen spiders are highly venomous, most die within minutes of a queen spider bite, though this is just speculation, as human exploration of this level is currently impossible.
Large clear pools can be found in dead ends of the cave, these pools are highly dangerous as anything that enters them gets torn apart and dragged down by humanoid tar black hands. Another type of nest found on Level 8 is a bloody grave that houses Frankenspiders, a dangerous mutated spider that regenerates through a gland found in its chest cavity. Certain areas of the cave have what is presumed to be almond water dripping from the stalactites on the ceiling.
Colonies and Outposts
World Eaters:
Due to 8 being Khornes sacred number, the rogue World Eaters set up base at Level 8. They maintain total control over the caverns and will shoot on sight. Even the entities that dwell within the caves are afraid of them, so avoid at all costs.
Backroom Colonists
The outpost contains around 37 guards, and is mostly for transportation. It is the final level of The Main Nine colonised by the group, and they will help wanderers leave the level.
P.E.A Base Underwater
The outpost contains around 62 guards, and is mostly for transportation. It is not the final level of The Main Nine colonised by the group, and they will help wanderers leave the level.
Entrances and Exits
Entrances
Look for a hole in Level 6 or at the bottom of the water in Level 7. The most common way to enter this level is by finding entrances through Level 7, but there are numerous entrances throughout other levels of the Backrooms.
Exits
- Trip/fall and you will get transported to Level 9, but you also have a 0.004% chance to be transported to Level 153. All of the reported cases who got out of Level 8 this way were by accident, so it's not certain whether falling intentionally will work or not.
- If you found a black doll, play with it for a while to be transported to Level 7453.
