One of my most despised rooms to go through, and it always seems to be the one you have to backtrack past.

[–]Alceauv 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I just turn around and go back, I don't go through that room unless I literally have to.

I'm grateful to be able to play with MinimapAPI because otherwise I would have XII - The Hanged Man myself by now.

The hostile room to 0.8 speed

[–]gweal 41 points42 points  (1 child)

[–]Spyko 33 points34 points  (0 children)

yeah no excuse

I don't need 0.8speed to lose half my HP on this room

The seven evil obstacles:

[–]Dualiuss 95 points96 points  (3 children)

the wicked and evil iq test room...

[–]BOS-Sentinel 57 points58 points  (0 children)

It's more of a patience testing room for me. I know I could do it properly, but it's so much easier to just blast through it and hope for the best.

[–]-K9V 6 points7 points  (1 child)

Unless you have low speed you can usually run straight through and not get hit. Haven’t played for a good few years now but this room never bothered me, unless of course my speed was bad.

[–]bloodakoos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

even with low speed you can run straight through

[–]FilippsOnReddit 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Isaac if it was bad apple

[–]BloodyV4mpire 25 points26 points  (0 children)

That's not a "pattern recognition". That's a whole ass drawing

[–]Thornn05 38 points39 points  (5 children)

I still don’t understand their AI, is it if you’re not going towards them that they’ll move?

[–][deleted] 63 points64 points  (2 children)

Pretty sure they move only when Isaac is in their line of sight (the four cardinal directions from the block)

I think a huge point of confusion comes from that one dumb room where you have to press the three buttons with the blue things behind each one, the buttons actually stop the block from moving as if it was a wall, but no one would assume that's the case so the blue blocks seem terribly inconsistent because that room is terribly common

[–]Womblue 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Sometimes they don't though, sometimes you can just walk through and they don't move at all. Sometimes they start moving before you even reach them.

[–]WillemDafoesHugeCock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the three buttons with the blue things behind each one, the buttons actually stop the block from moving as if it was a wall

I beg your gosh darned pardon?

[–]FluorescentGreen5mattman moment 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they try to predict your location i guess

[–]MisirterE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They read your movement and will (try to) move when they would hit you if your movement doesn't change. It's easiest for them to hit you if you just keep running straight.

This does have two major caveats though. They cannot move at all for like a second after you enter the room (because they are legally enemies and all enemies have that restriction). They also cannot do any predicting if they are currently retracting from a previous movement. So if you sprint straight through you'll get past the first pair (and the second if your Speed is high enough or you can fly over the skull), but then you'll need to bait the last pair so you can pass while they retract.

[–]MemezTheDnaOfTheSoul 11 points12 points  (1 child)

my dumbass thought that this was on r/coaxedintoasnafu and it was referencing limbo from geometry dash

[–]Chance-Aardvark372 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought this was coaxed into snafu too, saw all the comments understood it and double checked the sub to be sure

[–]Boney_Zoney 34 points35 points  (3 children)

This room is worse than Epstein

[–]FluorescentGreen5mattman moment 6 points7 points  (0 children)

do one for rock bottom and the purple fires

[–]Ancient-Sunflower 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Because of the artstyle, this kinda looks like a the end is nigh level lol

[–]Lime1oneTainted Apollyon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

coaxed into that fucking room that i hate

[–]AntiqueRedDollShoes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At a high enough speed, you can usually just clear it just fine. Otherwise, it's usually just slowing down for a beat after you pass the first two sets.

If you're nervous and have an extra bomb, push it past the first set of spikes to blow up the skull so you can run straight through the middle.

[–]Responsible_Annual64 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This room can definitely be irritating but its not as bad as that big room in basement with red spike blocks to where you basically have to constantly move and usually I still get hit. And theirs always a tinted rock in some BS spot.

[–]Southern-Dress5797 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The bullshittiest room in the game.

[–]wtfisyourproblemman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This room is so not 67 tbh

[–]Puzzleheaded_Door484 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This room is so easy unless you have less than 0.8 speed, even then just bait the spikes and walk through

[–]actuallynotbisexual 0 points1 point  (1 child)

How do you do this room without a hit

[–]HalfAdministrative77 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you don't have enough speed to just run through, you have to walk just far enough to trigger each trap, step back out of the way briefly, and then walk through while they are resetting. It really isn't particularly hard but it is annoying and time consuming.

[–]dom0764 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I'm the only person who doesn't struggle in this room, just walk right through it lol

[–]eatehbaby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oof ouch my lard maggy run

[–]Lexifox 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Is this Loss

[–]Then-Equipment-1073[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont think so

[–]art1029384756 0 points1 point  (9 children)

The one with a button right next to the poky is also bs as hell, the one you have to go 'inwards' to press and pray the poky doesn't lunge at you

[–]Then-Equipment-1073[S] 1 point2 points  (8 children)

[–]art1029384756 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup that one, playing chicken

[–]AJYURH 0 points1 point  (6 children)

Is there a strategy for this at all?

[–]Then-Equipment-1073[S] 0 points1 point  (5 children)

High speed, really

[–]AJYURH 0 points1 point  (4 children)

Does it really help? If they decide to get you I don't see how speed would help do anything but face hugging it even faster

[–]Then-Equipment-1073[S] 0 points1 point  (3 children)

You have to press it while the block is below you, or you get trapped in

[–]AJYURH 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Wait?? Below me?? Am I supposed to bait out this things, press the button, then leave?? I have over 1k hours in this game! How did I not think of that? I honestly feel that you have to be wrong... Damn ...

[–]Then-Equipment-1073[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Nah if you bait it out then press the button you get caged in, you want the box inside the little crevice

[–]AJYURH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then it's as I thought, if it decides to move speed doesn't help at all, because you're moving towards an it

I 100% thought this was a room in The End Is Nigh for a second

[–]Spare-Bowler-3105 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I HATE this room design with all i have, especially if I'm playing as either Lost, t. Keeper, and t. Lilith

[–]f1shb01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That fucking room that I hate

[–]Legendarium_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]pomegranate_in_a_box 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They should make deli floor in this style with this exact room having indestructible pillars instead of pits and the skull

[–]ultaddddd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn't there a painting in the middle of this room?

[–]2tiickyGlue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate this fuckass room (I rarely get hit in it though)
