Does Specimen 7 Appear in Endless Mode Now?

[StellaSymphony]

I looked at a new update and it said that "Specimen 7 has a neato updated scripted room in the Base Mansion & Endless." Does that mean Specimen 7 can spawn in Endless Mode now? That'd be really cool since Specimen 7 was one of my favorites and I've always thought that it was a real shame that it didn't show up in Endless Mode.

[Lumios]

Didn't encounter him yet, but I would take that as a yes.
Now, how long will it take for it to show up, that is the question.

[Brain]

Yes. But you only encounter it once and no other enemy can join it.

[StellaSymphony]

Ah, only once? That's a shame, but at least it's in Endless Mode.

The room with 1 door locked and 1 door open would be deadly with S7.

Not really, given how ungodly slow it is.
I'm really disappointed in Specimen 7. The rooms are cool but he's so damn slow that you can do his chase blindfolded and most likely wouldn't even come close to dying.

I would think the long U shaped hall or the square rooms would be worse.

Specimen 7 is actually pretty dangerous thanks to its insta kill abillity. Even if it has been nerfed into oblivion, it still poses a real, albeit minor threat, especially on good runs. Nothing as annoying or god awful as Lisa or Spooper though, thankfully.

pfft, more like specimen 7 walkspeed amirite?

Specimen 7 only appears once with its spawning room, much like Specimen 13.

7 is actually kind of a threat in Endless. While yes he's easy as ♥♥♥♥ to dodge, get stuck in one dead end and your entire run is gone. It's not something that will happpen often for an experienced player, but damn you'll be salty if that happens.

Specimen 7 appearing in normal rooms is impossible. There are too many rooms that requires you to go backward and backtrack for an Advancing Wall of Doom to work. While they could make it so these rooms don't appear while 7 is chasing you, it would make for a rather limited experience when Specimen 7 shows up.

[StellaSymphony]

I don't know, I think it's be cool if they made it so Specimen 7 could appear continually and create compatible rooms when it appears as you said. I can easily see Specimen 2 working well with 7. If they're afraid of it being too repetative, then they can always just give Specimen 7 a lower spawn rate than the other monsters, so it's rare but dangerous.

[Brain]

I can't imagine it working in the stairs room.

[StellaSymphony]

Well that's why rooms that are compatible with Specimen 7 should be the only ones that spawn when it is active.
