      To be fair, you could also exploit that as an _ADvantage._ If you are being chased by a monster and feel like you might get cornered, duck around a wall and toss one item on your person (obviously the most expendable one you have) in a different direction so that it makes a noticeable sound to lure the monster away from you. Then backtrack and/or head away from the monster while it's busy investigating whatever you threw.

    One thing to consider though is that we don’t know whether the monster can hear us and how good his hearing is, so making signs in the wall or throwing an object to make the roof move will make mass amounts of sounds.

      I heard the theory that since the monster is referred to by Kane as "Bacteria" and also because of that body found with something growing on it that the monsters are people who died. (They get reanimated as as those monsters, basically.) So the chances of running into one would be relatively low at first but as time progresses and more people die in the Backrooms there's more monsters and thus higher odds of running into one.

    Do not look in the filing cabinets, there can possibly be an entity waiting in there, and you won’t be able to escape it once you open it. And with the ceiling, (you can fact check me on this) I’m pretty sure that hounds, one of the entities in the backrooms, can fall from the ceiling, so they are most likely in that little space between the ceiling and the hanging ceiling.

    I’d say to be careful with all of these strategies- we don’t know the intelligence of this monster. It could be able to read, failing that it’s more likely it could follow your trails right to you and even try to lead you off into the depths. Throwing shoes is loud and provides falling obstacles and a solid pathway for everything to follow. Also horror strategy rules state do NOT use the crawlspace

    • @mrreyes5004
      @mrreyes5004 2 роки тому +158

      I _highly_ doubt the monster is that intelligent. It immediately charges at Kane on sight without bothering to use stealth, threw a chair for seemingly no reason (if anything, it's an anti-feat of intelligence since the sound of the chair hitting the wall signalled to Kane that the monster was there), and let out an obvious growl when it found Kane in front of the hole (if Kane just jumped down rather than turn around, the monster wouldn't have been able to grab him).
      This is further supported by the Async personnel's use of the red trail rope that they use to find their way back; if there were monsters in the Kane Pixels Backrooms intelligent enough to follow trails, I highly doubt those scientists would use such an obvious trail to guide them back. And yes, we do know the scientists of Async are perfectly aware of the monsters since the recent Informational Video makes it clear that they know the dangers of the Backrooms (namely the policy that only groups of 3 or more should be permitted to enter the Backrooms, as there is safety in numbers). All in all, the Kane Pixels Backrooms' monster barely seems as intelligent as a wild feral animal, so leaving a trail on the wall would barely garner more than a moment-long curious glance from it.

    • @mrreyes5004
      @mrreyes5004 2 роки тому +57

      Sorry, but I'm not going to let this turn into a big running-around-in-circles thing about if the monster is intelligent. No, there is no sign that the monster was just toying with him. No, there is no sign that it understands that a trail on the wall left by a key or pencil could lead to an intelligent human victim. No, there is no sign that Kane Pixels' continuity is strictly tied to any other canon about the Backrooms besides the bare minimum left by the og picture, and he's free to follow his own canon and his own list of monsters without necesarily needing to include the dozens of monsters from other continuinities. We use evidence to arrive at conclusions, not a mess of "well we don't really know..." or "well maybe there are other monsters with high intelligence..." because that just isn't how logic works.
      The fact of the matter is, the best strategy is still to be able to leave some kind of trail or sign of where you once were and/or where an advantageous location is, because clearly not doing so and just meandering through even with MatPat's disjointed-maze advice is just bound to get a wanderer killed purely as a result of getting a lost and getting dead-ended by a pursuing monster (which is exactly what happened to Kane). It may not be the best possible strategy, but considering the one monster we have seen has no evidence of being smart enough to discern the significance of a man-made trail left by a key or pencil on the wall, it's one of the few we've got. End of story. Peace out.

You might be able to crawl along where the walls/roof meets because the wall should have weight baring capacity but that will be highly restrictive if the walk you are on doesn't connect to an outter wall.

    To help with the ceiling tile method, there's a method I learned from Minecraft, hit the holes onto the right side of the ceiling. The trick is that if you ever lose your way in a cave system, your torches on the wall will lead you back if you put them exclusively on the right side of the cave wall. With this method, you'd know if you were following a path you had already taken or had accidentally turned around, alternatively if you happened to make a campsite in the backrooms, you'd know how to find your way back to it.

    For the date thing, that was when the camera was FOUND, not entering the backrooms.
    That, and time/space is distorted in the backrooms, usually being slower but sometimes faster and the geometry is usually non-Euclidean (not logical).
    My main issue is that the Backrooms are hypothesized to be infinite, if not many times the surface area of Earth, with multiple levels and logic takes a break here.
    We are attempting to solve a problem with logic, when our "Frontrooms" logic isn't applicable in the backrooms, as logic is flexible and varies from level to level and even area to area.
    Most of your points make sense, just wanna clear this up in case the dates become more important later.

    Another tip when marking the walls is to start making them as high as you can reach and be marking the wall slowly lower and lower over time. That way you can have a better idea if you get back to a spot you can generalize how long ago that was.

      @@eyesofthecervino3366 what is implied here is through that method you can more accurately estimate how big the segment is and how much time it would take to circle around it, if needed. Also it it gives a sense of direction when multiple sections are marked this way. E.g. While searching for an exit or trying to escape an attacker, you spot a marked wall, first you know "oh this is somewhere where i already was" secondly you know "the marking curves down to the left and is high up, so the point of origin is to the right of it if i follow" if the marking curves to the down left and is relatively low, you know that the point of origin is quicker to reach when you follow it to the left, tertiary from your point of view, if you can see multiple marked walls in this fashion, you get a very clear sense of direction, point is that you´d want to start your marking on the same side of each wall obviously, lets just say you mark the imaginary "west" facing side each time, that way you can always tell "that way is facing west, so i am going east"

      But this isn't like unspooling a line of thread behind you, then wandering freely. We're literally talking about walking with one hand always on the same wall. So if you find your writing again, you won't be crossing your path from another direction -- you'll literally just be proving to yourself that you've walked in a circle, like traveling around an island. You'd always come back to that origin point first. You know how big the island is from how long it took you, from the time you started circling it, to come back to the same starting place.

      @@eyesofthecervino3366 You say if you ever come across your markings again that means you just looped back around. That’s simply not true. In a mazy there would be plenty of places where you could spot a wall you already walked by earlier but from a different angle.
      In those situations you can more easily gauge how long ago you may have passed that wall. It could have been a wall you passed minutes ago or even hours ago. That makes a big difference knowing that there is a connection from your starting point to where you are now.
      Plus you ignored their point about it being useful in a situation where you’re being chased. Maybe you throw off the monster but you lost track of where you are. If you find your markings again you can find out how far back you came.

      Good point, good point. I'm not entirely sure, in either scenario, how knowing how far down the line you are would actually affect your decisions -- even if you spot a previously covered piece of wall, you're still committed to following the section you're on, and in the event that you're chased and have to re-find the line, the directionality (which you could tell from the scrape patterns) would be a lot more important than knowing how far down the line you happen to be -- but you're still right. Having more information is definitely better than not.

    "Air ducts tend to lead to the outside of buildings"
    Correction: Air ducts tend to lead to air handlers. Air handlers aren't always outside. They often aren't, in fact. When I lived in an apartment, the air handler was in the utility closet. Living in a house now, the handler's in a crawlspace. In business? You guessed it, often indoors.
    And if the air ducts are tough enough to hold you up, how do you think you'd get outside even if the air handler were outside or close to outside? Break out of the duct? Not like you'll have a manhole-sized vent opening near the air handler like in the movies.
    There are also two kinds of ducts to consider, both leading to the air handler. Supply and return. Supply ducts bring air from the handler to the air conditioning zones. Return ducts bring air from the zones to the air handler. To have a vent for these at the air handler itself would serve no purpose and would compromise the system. (Air returns in houses are a bit of a different story, but you're also not crawling through ducts to get to those)
    Typically, these aren't even big enough for a guy to fit in. They just look that way because of the size of the vent.

    the liquids you find in the backrooms aren't really safe-
    im not sure if its "official" but most fans agree that the only liquid you can drink is almond water you find randomly.

      Nah there are levels like the Crimson Forrest that have actual water that's safe to drink.

    It makes me so happy to see that Mat Pat is finally covering the backrooms because I’ve been part of the fandom since it started and he’s one of my favorite content creators

    After an absolute binge of Backrooms content I can say with 99% certainty that logic, reasoning, and Euclidean physics do not generally apply to the Backrooms

    Thanks MatPat! my very first thoughts when I saw the back rooms was try to use my shoe to knock down the fluorescent lights and use the wires as strings to mark my travel path and potentially fashion a weapon from the fixture. I am glad you essentially addressed this concept. When you pointed out the drop ceiling My thoughts immediately jumped to the crawl space above the ceiling. Glad to see I'm not the only creative one
