How to SpeedRun Inside The Backrooms

Hello everyone, in this guide, I will teach you how to speedrun the game easily, without glitches!

This guide is outdated.

Hello everyone. Thanks for reading this guide.
It's been a long time since I posted it and it's outdated. The game developers release new levels regularly and I don't have the knowledge about the game to update this guide, since I hardly play it anymore. I therefore invite you to look for other guides, if this one does not provide you with satisfactory answers. THANKS.

Game Rules (SPEEDRUN.COM)

General Rules

• Read the rules of the category before running, since each category might have different rules.
  
• Players are allowed to have Digital/Handmade copies of the Code Sheet used in the Office level.
  
• Players are allowed to use the Moth Jelly in level 0 for any category unless otherwise stated
  
• Any Difficulty is allowed unless otherwise stated in category rules
  
• Mods or Cheats of any kind are banned, if a run is proven to be cheated the runner will be banned from submissions and the Discord

Submission Rules

• All runs require video proof, with game audio
  
• The main menu must be showed at some point in your video, this will allow us to see the version
  
• Runs must be recorded from before the opening cutscene, preferably in the lobby or the main menu, till the player ends the timer.
  
• For multiplayer runs all POV's must be linked in one submission within the description of the submission.
  
• A timer on screen is recommended. However it is only required if your run is longer then 30 mins. We recommend LiveSplit.

Step #1 : Before the ladder

Somewhere in a corner of the backrooms, before going up the ladder, you can find a jelly. You can collect it because it will greatly benefit you.

Knowing that the timer to unlock the achievement starts as soon as the game is started, do not waste too much time looking for it.

Step #2 : Elevator Code

For the elevator code, it's actually quite simple.

On one side you will find "1-2-3-4" giving you the order in which to type the numbers you will see opposite

Here is an example :

Step #3 : Mirror (corpses)

In this part of the backrooms, you will have to face several puzzles, thanks to which you will end up with several body parts, which you will have to put in a room with lots of bodies.

You will have to find a VHS tape telling you which part of the body belongs to whom.

You can find under this video (example) a plan of the backrooms

Step #4 : Radiation & Parking

I put these two parts together because i do both as fast as i can, no time for sleeping between them.

For the radiation, you'll have to find a radioactive suite, when you broke the mirror, and some radioactive stuff (extinguisher and Geiger counter)

just spray things you find on the floor if they are radioactive.

Btw, you can find a jelly in radioactive and in red door part, at this point you should have at least 3 jelly (if you haven't consumed them)

Always radioactive items

• Wheelchair
  
• Clothes with an orange top
  
• Papers but only 1 of them
  
• Crutches
  
• Teddy bear
  
• Boots
  
• Backpack
  
• Gas mask
  
• Rocking Horse

For the parking, just take a jelly, if you play multiplayer, let one of your friends take a jelly and get the monster's attention while you put the valves back on to stop the gas leaks.

If you're alone, try to get as fast as possible before the ghoul starts moving, then, try to be at the opposite position in the parking, and do not make any noise.

Step #5 : Electricity, computers and party

When you passed the ghoul part, you'll have to take the elevator. The code is inside the elevator.

When you spawn in the next stage, first thing you need to do is go and put the fuses in the electrical panel to light the pcs.

you will see symbols and colors on PCs. You will need it to unlock the rest of the adventure. You will have to type a code on the pc with the letters that correspond

There's the alphabet :
After you finished that, go to the party room (please, take the monster radar if you didnt get it)
And you'll have deal with a maze, in which you will have to find gifts, in a short time, otherwise a monster will appear and seek you in the maze.
This part is the hardest of the backrooms.

After that, you will just have to blow out the candles and leave as quickly as possible.

Step #6 : Water

Before anything, have a look at the pc which tells you the symbol of the door you will need in the end.

Electrical water is dangerous. For some reasons, when you still have your radioactive suit, you do not take electrical damage.

It made sense to us, but on Speedrun.com they say it's a glitch.

So you will have to remove the fuses before diving into the water.

For the large swimming pool, lots of mobs will be waiting for you in the water. Don't forget to take your monster detector radar and do it as quickly as you can, while avoiding the monsters.

Then, the last part is another maze where you'll have to find the door with the correct symbol you looked on the pc.

alternate ending (sewers)

There is an alternative ending with the new Update.

Try to stay as quiet as possible, and don't go next to the mods or they will eat you.

You have to get into the sewers, here is the map :

Nice job.

Bravo, you have read the whole guide. I can't detail every action in the game, it would be a spoiler, but I gave you a general idea of what to do and how to do it.

You can watch the 2 videos below, if you want to know how to speedrun the game in a pro way.

[Staticmercuary27]

hmm, this feels slightly outdated

[DuisterDraakje]

am not trying to speed run yet but the map is super useful, thanks!

[seenkid]

no clue lmao

[Shouta]

I saw a dog in sewer, why the fuck was it here ?

[seenkid]

Hey, the screwdriver is made for fixing the vents where the dogs can get down and kill you. You should always close an oppened vent if you can.

[DeadShot]

thanks for the guide, i'm not really here for it tho, i just want to know what's the use of the screwdriver?, i couldn't find anything to use it for, or did i skip a place or something?

[seenkid]

to get the achievement, timer starts at the time you noclip inside the backrooms and not at the moment you take the ladder.

speedrun.com and game doesn't start timer at the same moment :/

[McGyver]

Lmao we got 38 minutes when we tried first time speedrunning it, then we tried second time and exactly 35 minutes and didn't even get the achievement :D(duo)

[seenkid]

yes sure !
