Can You Outrun Figure in Doors? A Comprehensive Guide
Yes, you can outrun Figure in the early stages of a Roblox Doors run, specifically before collecting three Library Books. However, the Figure’s speed increases significantly with each book collected, making it increasingly difficult and eventually impossible to outpace. Mastering strategies for evasion, hiding, and navigating the environment becomes crucial for survival in the later stages of the game.
Understanding Figure’s Mechanics
Figure is a major antagonist found in the Library (around Door 50) and is characterized by its blindness and heightened sensitivity to sound. This means you can’t be seen, but any noise you make will attract its attention. Crouching is strongly advised for quiet movement.
The key mechanic affecting your ability to outrun Figure is the Library Books. Each book you find and read increases Figure’s walk speed by 0.75x. Prior to collecting 3 books, your base character speed is sufficient to outrun it. After collecting 3 or more books, however, Figure will become faster than you, necessitating a shift in strategy towards hiding and careful navigation. The more books you collect, the more challenging it becomes to survive encounters. Collecting all eight Library Books makes evasion nearly impossible.
Strategies for Survival
- Early Game (0-2 Books): Focus on speed and distance. If Figure spots you, run towards the nearest hiding spot (wardrobes, beds, etc.). Use corners and obstacles to break line of sight.
- Mid Game (3-5 Books): Running is no longer a reliable strategy. Prioritize stealth and hiding. Use sound cues to track Figure’s movements. Avoid unnecessary noise.
- Late Game (6-8 Books): Survival depends on precise timing and knowledge of the Library layout. Use distractions (if available) to lure Figure away from your path. Memorize hiding spot locations and plan your movements carefully. Luck is also a factor!
Remember that the layout of the library is always randomized, so you must adapt quickly.
The Lock Puzzle and Book Locations
The primary objective in the Library is to solve a lock puzzle that blocks your exit. The code for the lock is comprised of shapes and numbers found within the Library Books. These books are scattered throughout the Library, and their locations are randomized in each playthrough.
To crack the code:
- Locate the Books: Explore the Library thoroughly. Pay attention to details and check every shelf and corner.
- Read the Books: Interact with each book to reveal the shape and number associated with it.
- Input the Code: Use the collected information to input the correct code into the lock mechanism.
