The Barrier is an anomalous level.
Description
A picture of the forest sky. The Barrier's light can be seen in the distance.
Upon entering this level, you will appear in a lit forest. Allegedly, the light from the Barrier lights up the forest. Sometimes, Lakes can be found within the forest. The Water is drinkable, and sometimes fish can be seen swimming in the water. Not many entities can be found in this level because of it's nature, but sometimes The Caretaker can be seen fishing at the lake on a canoe. How he got here or where he got the canoe is unknown.
Traveling towards the light for a week or two will lead to The Barrier. It is said to be one of the only entrances to the Frontrooms. It's very difficult to get past it, as 98.5% of wanderers either die, give up, or end up in another level of The Backrooms (Usually Level 12 or Level -150).
Bases, Outposts, and Communities
No known Bases, Outposts, or Communities exist on this level.
Entrances
- Die in Level 12 and there is a 0.1% chance that you'll end up here. This method is not recommended
- Noclip into the ground of The End and there is a 10% chance you'll end up here. This is the safest and easiest method.
- Fall asleep in The Whisper and you'll have a 0.01% chance of ending up here.
Exits
- Going through the barrier has a 99.9% chance of ending up in another level. There's a 0.1% chance of crossing the barrier and going back to The Frontrooms. It is not recommended to go through the Barrier because there is a medium chance of dying.
- Whisper to yourself to get into The Whisper.
- Listen very closely for "hype" music. Follow the music and eventually the forest will turn pitch black. After a few minutes, you'll find a doorway that leads to Level -150.
- Go towards a city to get into Level 11. (You won't be able to come back the way you came from.)
