Long guide

Enter, clear, and leave the Basement

Wait for Unlocked: Basement, then use the wooden hatch and stairs beside the house on the Maze or Backyard side; continue down until the HUD changes to Basement and shows its local wave state. On the House/Easy route described here, the final Basement state is Wave 2/2, Basement 100.0%, and the Basement completion message; after that, enter the opened red vent or duct and continue to the finish guide.

  • Basement
  • 3 sections

If the unlock, percentage, wave, completion message, or vent does not change after these checks, try one new server. If the same screen state remains, stop guessing at hidden requirements.
