What I know is that the last time we thought we could go faster than these guys, we got sandwiched into a bat.
I'm just confused as to why the green dot would be a good thing for us. It's on their monitor, which implies it's something they use. For all we know it could be a wall trap or a camera or something so if we go to the duct we get got anyways.
Exactly. If it really is an extra life like Erise suggests, I feel like Ozone would have given us some sort of hint that we might have more chances than we think or something. The fact he couldn’t confirm or deny it just leads me to believe that it can’t be something good.
Because its going to take time to get back to its position, no use alerting them we're in the vents if we're spotted as we're back to square one ^^
I dunno… Knowing Ozone, he would not put some random green dot there for no reason. It must mean SOMETHING.
About the point Erise made, Ozone? Are you actually gonna grant us extra lives in some way?
I mean it's speculation but it could be something positive, maybe a hidden room or something
Whatever that green dot is, I don't want to find out. Let's go for the Vent.
On the topic of the green dot, green seems a positive colour considering the boogies are depicted on white/blue, it could possibly be a secret or extra life? Additionally the camera boogie is about to come round the corner and if he spots us the others will blockade the vent. So if we sneak right they won't spot us and will likely return to their positions (my take on it)
given the weight of the votes....at this point, I pray you're right
Okay Agents, time to do things properly! No more picking the wrong option because you want to see Cassandra swamped by Boogies and Drones, it's time to show why we're the best of the best! <3
Alright screw it, changed my mind, EVERYONE GO FOR THE VENT. Read mine and MrToastsandwich's discussion about it, we dunno what that green dot on the other end of the loop is and it could be bad. We can at least chance dashing for the vent. If we're wrong, then...well that's on us, but surely it's better to take a chance with what we know than gamble with what we don't?
I swear to god if we lose another life because this discovery was made too late...
Everyone, please note the green dot inside the wall that MrToastsandwich pointed out. This may change everything, we need more time to figure this out.
I think we have to take our chances with the vent here. This may be our only chance to try to get past the boogie that’s investigating the noise. I just don’t trust that tiny dot!
Ozone, when Cassandra entered this room the first time back in part six, did she see something weird where that tiny dot is suppose to be?
Nothing stood out to her at the time and her attention was heavily on camera boogie.
Guys… I don’t want to be the bearer of bad news but… What is that tiny dot in the square that the monitor is showing? Like there’s something in the wall?
...oh you have got to be /kidding/ me, what is that?!
....... looking closely at the map, I'm realizing there's a problem. I WAS WRONG. Those aren't "Cones" I'm seeing but arrows. We NEED TO GO RIGHT to avoid detection. But at the same time we need to attract the booby's attention to lure it away from its 'ambush' spot.
..... you know what I've given up trying to even try to aim for the right answers because apparently no matter what I vote, people always swarm to bad ideas. I just don't see the point anymore because there's always TROLLS out there outnumbering the INTELLIGENTS ruining the fun because they overwhelm the 'correct' answer.
I think this presumes too much that people who want to lose know the answer that leads to losing in the first place.
For anyone doubting the visuals, there is absolutely no way the screen on the wall doesn't line up with the minimap. We;re coming from the big room on the right and looking down into the room with the big guy patrolling inside. We know a Booby is coming to investigate our position, hence why there's a blue dot in the corridor connecting to the big room there. This means the other blue dot at the bottom is absolutely the big guy coming to round around the corner. It's not unreasonable to think that in the time it took us to come back here, he's completed the route and is about to come round again. Edit: GO FOR THE VENT
So. On the monitor on the right, there are two dots. I take this to mean the Booby that noticed us in the catwalk room is actually floating over to investigate. This brings up quite the conundrum: Do we go straight for the vent and risk being spotted by the big guy, or do we go to the right, avoiding big guy for definite...but now we've got the investigating Booby stuck in the room with us as well? Well... Way I see it, one option is inherently less risky than the other, and that's turning right. The big guy is literally about to round the corner and I just can't see that going well, it's the whole uncertain risk vs. certain doom thing again. Plus, if the investigating Booby decides to follow the same route as us, that means it's just gonna waste time going back to its original station, giving us ample time to sneak through the vent and slip through unnoticed. ....AND YET. What if it doesn't follow? What if we waste time trying to avoid the big guy by going around, giving the investigating Booby ample enough time to return to its spot, allowing it to ambush us on exiting the vent again? So do we choose to rush for the vent instead? But what if big guy rounds the corner and sees us?? Then ALL the boobies nearby will know. With that in mind...it might be better to gamble on going right. At least we know neither could spot us that way. It's tricky, but... TLDR Despite how uncertain going right may seem, rushing for the vent just seems like a really freakin bad idea. Edit: I CHANGED MY MIND DUE TO REASONS LATER DOWN THE COMMENT CHAIN GO FOR THE VENT
Addendum: It's been observed that Boobies tend to stick to their patrol routes, but they will come far enough to investigate. So either it goes back to its patrol route sooner or later, that's really what's bothering me here.
I mean, I want to see what happens if we get caught by the big guy. Orbs have gotten us every time and I want something different. But, he was traveling clockwise last time we saw him, and have no reason to believe he's not still. So going for the vent sees like we'd be in his path. I feel it's "go to the right" that's correct. *Edit* turns out there is something to make us think he's going anti-clockwise now. The little blip on the top of the black map is us, facing this room. We are left facing if we assume the cone direction means anything. Given that, so too is the big guy. That might mean he's turned around. Given that, I guess we're going in the fucking vents yet again. NGL, this first pair of rooms is starting to feel really padded, as the correct path has had us jump back and forth between them multiple times now. To make progress, narratively we have needed to spin our wheels for so long now.
Take a look at the mini map and tbe monitor on the wall
Big guy is coming around the corner need to go around
It looks like the map is our layout, the camera guy is just around the corner to our right
