Description
A photograph of Level 8 taken during the first exploration.
Level 8 is an deep, infinite cave system. Thanks for this level being mostly devoid of hostile entities, as only neutral entities can be found only. Level 8 is always extremely damp, with Almond water flowing from the walls and ceilings.
Some areas in Level 8 is inhabited by small brown spiders, which are unique to the Backrooms. These spiders are likely found on nests, guarding large egg sacs which contain over a hundred newborn spiders. Male spiders are not particularly poisonous and only around a foot in length. However, females can grow to be up to a meter long, have a potent poison which has the added property of wiping out the memory of humans, and are aggressive when hunting (Which is the only time that they leave the nest) and when they are near young. One bite is enough to paralyze a human, at which point they will eat their prey alive over the period of a day or two. Other than the spiders, other Backrooms entities inhabit the cave systems, however they steer clear of the spiders, who seem to be the apex predators of the level.
Colonies and Outposts
No communities or outposts reside in Level 8 so far.
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.
