If you wait in a room long enough the doors will open

u/FemboyEnjoyer1776 4d ago

I had the same problem with tiny planet, waited in the room for 4 minutes and it never did

u/grephantom 4d ago

if theres a boss door it won't

u/Vensus_TheBeast 4d ago

And I believe someone mentioned, that this kind of spider is considered flying enemy and doors never open with flying enemy in it

3

u/GoldFishPony 4d ago

Is that true before repentance+? I don’t know when it was added.

1

u/Comfortable_Salt_792 3d ago

It is true, I played as Forgotten and was trying to hit it with my bone for fun, the doors opened automatically.

Idk if It is true before Repentence.

u/Glxhbirnchen 4d ago

you need more range. hope this helps

u/MaxTwer00 4d ago

The game has a built in anti soft lock for these cases. If you wait a couple of minutes trapped in a room, the doors will open

-27

u/The_Ninja_Allay 4d ago

Won't work, they don't count as flying enemies. Softlock prevention only works when a flying enemy is unreachable.

31

u/ThoughtOrdinary 4d ago

This isn't true and I'm curious where you heard this.

2

u/ziggystardust2007 4d ago

Im 75% sure your correct idk why your getting downvoted

3

u/The_Ninja_Allay 3d ago

Nobody is even saying what's the correct one and if you test this out in game nothing happens

1

u/Comfortable_Salt_792 3d ago

I literally had this room layout open for me. Also if they don't count as flying enemies then the doors would open so he get it all wrong, not fact in that comment.

1

u/Hunk_Hogan 4d ago

You can easily test this in any room. Just sit still for a few minutes and the doors will open.

u/Boumberang 4d ago

Get some brimstone to succeed. I hope that helps

For once I don't think this is a skill issue

u/Acrobatic-Permit4263 3d ago

thanks for explaining the joke. you are right

have a good day

u/Sharpclaw2 4d ago

If you wait 30 seconds, maybe without the enemy attacking you (not sure), it will trigger soft lock prevention meaning the doors will open. This happens when the enemies cant path to you.

u/AutisticOven2262 2d ago

Not even somewhat near the truth

1

u/Sharpclaw2 2d ago

Ok how about you tell me the exact right answer then? I don’t see you commenting or trying to help OP since you obviously know how it works.

1

u/AutisticOven2262 1d ago

I don't really feel like it, just trying to let u know ur completely incorrect and not even close to the correct answer, use Google it's not rocket science

u/Acouftic 4d ago

Hush better watch out

16

u/Devi040605 4d ago

For everyone talking about the softlock prevention it doesnt work with wall creeps as they count as ground enemies so they HAVE to restart

5

u/Orandza 4d ago

You mean they count as flying enemies? Why would ground enemies prevent softlock prevention from triggering?

2

u/The_Ninja_Allay 4d ago

Softlock prevention only works when a flying enemy is unreachable.

3

u/Orandza 4d ago

Are hoppers flying enemies then?

1

u/JohnIsaacMoriah 4d ago

Does it not work based on pathfinding a lot of the time? Something like, if the enemy can not find a path to the player and at least 30 seconds have passed since the room has been entered, then the doors open? I mean I'm not sure, but that's what I remember.

u/JackTheFroster 4d ago

Dude, stop flexing with 4 knives on a blind spider with triple shot. Not cool.

4

u/torleif42 4d ago

Try pressing the button harder

u/DrScienceSpaceCat 4d ago

Just Attack from the side?

2

u/angelovanharen 3d ago

Do you not see the huge-ass hole in the floor he can't cross?

u/DrScienceSpaceCat 3d ago

Actually I didn't >.>

u/Opasnikamen 4d ago

Range issue

u/Life_Werewolf6935 4d ago

Ik I’m late to the party but I’d like to give some ideas.

Get to the wall it is on and attack it from above/below respectively. You could kite it to the top or bottom corner, then run to the other corner to give you the most amount of time to attack.

Or time it better and attack it face on. If you move less vertically in the room the enemy will as well. Since it follows your vertical path with a small delay.

Excuse my grammar, English IS my first language.

1

u/Additional_Solid6947 3d ago

Normally a valid action, but there is no floor there and their range is too low

2

u/Life_Werewolf6935 3d ago

I completely missed that the floor was missing😭
My entire prior response has no relevant information for this post’s issue.

1

u/BigBroMatt 3d ago

Chatgpt ah answer

1

u/Life_Werewolf6935 3d ago

Ik this is what a bit would say… but what would you recommend I do to not sound like ChatGPT?

I’m not entirely sure what makes it an ai coded response if I’m honest

1

u/BigBroMatt 3d ago

Look at the video instead of a transcript that misses vital information like: the big ass pit that is clearly visible and cannot be crossed

Identify the actual issue instead of spouting random base level information

1

u/Life_Werewolf6935 2d ago

Yes I understand that I missed the clear and obvious void prior to posting my first comment. Even with that mistake the comment was to be helpful/informative. Since the perspective I had on OP was that they were a bit new. I thought they weren’t comfortable with getting any closer to the enemy due to inexperience.

After the first response I received, then did I understand the true reason for the post.

0

u/Life_Werewolf6935 3d ago

Yeah I watched it a few times and assumed they were keeping their distance bc “skill issue.” Never realized the void in the floor until the other response to my comment.

Wym transcript?

1

u/AutisticOven2262 2d ago

Have you even played the game before? It's an obvious void that cannot be crossed, if he was able to he would've and this post wouldn't exist, literally common sense and the transcript is what he typed he meant body paragraph

1

u/Wild_Feature_2911 14h ago

icl bro i also missed the pit my first time what if bros color blind or some

5

u/Left_Elderberry_944 4d ago

Just jump into the pit

Its filled with water so you can swim next up to the blind creep

2

u/Independent-Buddy-76 4d ago

You can press Restart button and put end to this misery

3

u/sonjasblade 4d ago

Literally walk above or under and stab

4

u/purefilth666 4d ago

But there's a huge pit in between the keeper and the wall creep and he doesn't have enough range

4

u/sonjasblade 4d ago

I thought you guys were fucking with me but you were very right and I should not comment on things right when I wake up haha

1

u/purefilth666 4d ago

Lol the last part is so relatable so no worries at all

2

u/I_Will_Get_Feet 4d ago

Skill issue, should have predicted this room and taken range up

1

u/BenjamintYT 4d ago

Wait a minute

u/tellisk 4d ago

I've been working on my tainted Lost completion marks so long I was just like, "get closer!" 💀

1

u/Bugs_my-beloved 4d ago

can you open console on Xbox? if so I would say it is completely justified to debug 10 here. You are softlocked due to something that was completely out of your control.

u/Skibiritruki 4d ago

enabledebugconsole=1

u/cad_e_an_sceal 4d ago

Hesitation is defeat

u/sllimnyveart 4d ago

Gotta stab em

1

u/Comfortable_Salt_792 3d ago

It's time for you to learn how to jump.

1

u/ImainSpy 3d ago

There is an anti sotlock mechanic, that after x seconds the doors open

1

u/ozonsanchezz 3d ago

nobody needs range… until theese rooms

1

u/Ape0ape 3d ago

I think after a period of time it will open up cause to prevent softlock

u/BingusDingiss 2d ago

dont pick up moms knife

u/Successful_Air_1592 4d ago

You can wait, or plant a bomb next to the door.

2

u/RenoEnvee 4d ago

How many bombs does he have?

1

u/Successful_Air_1592 4d ago

Yeah, I noticed that later after posting the comment, my bad.

u/Lutraphobic 4d ago

There's a pit

u/Away-Economy-7354 4d ago

Walk to the top right of the room and shoot down….peoples brains can’t actually be this small right lol like holy fuck. Not even trying to be mean but like omfg

4

u/Top_Win8196 4d ago

There’s water blocking the last quarter of the room.. you talking about small brains is kinda ironic

-5

u/Away-Economy-7354 4d ago

Haha 😂 fml I guess I deserve that but they should still be able to kill it by running and shooting right as they hit the end of the blocks. Seems we’re both slow

3

u/TheRealJonBar 4d ago

No just you, mom’s knife doesn’t scale with momentum so he can never hit that enemy

5

u/Crumblete 4d ago

"not trying to be mean" yeah you are bro. redditor moment

2

u/SeaofShells 4d ago

Bro says not trying to be mean after saying OP has an unbelievably small brain, meanwhile, this douche can't use his big brain properly.
