Level 8

Level 8 is the 9th level of the Backrooms.
== Description ==
Level 8 is a vast cave system that has gained notoriety due to the presence of numerous spider-like creatures that inhabit it. The cave is poorly lit, with only a few scattered light sources located on the ceiling. However, even these sources of light will extinguish after only a few minutes of use, making it incredibly challenging and hazardous to explore this level.
Aside from the low visibility, loud sounds reverberate throughout the caverns, attracting large numbers of spiders to the source. The majority of this level is cramped and filled with jagged stalagmites and stalactites that make linear progress impossible. Nevertheless, some larger cave systems have been documented deep within, which could serve as potential outpost locations in the future.
While other areas of interest have been identified, the majority of them remain a mystery to most wanderers. Additionally, due to the difficulty and danger associated with navigating this level, it is imperative that explorers exercise extreme caution and take all necessary precautions to ensure their safety.
== Colonies and Outposts ==
=== World Eaters ===
Due to 8 being Khornes sacred number, the rogue World Eaters set up base at Level 8. They maintain total control over the caverns and will shoot on sight. Even the entities that dwell within the caves are afraid of them, so avoid at all costs.
=== Backroom Colonists ===
The outpost contains around 37 guards, and is mostly for transportation. It is the final level of The Main Nine colonized by the group, and they will help wanderers leave the level.
==Entities==
Level 8 is inhabited by a lot of different species of spiders. Explorers can find all the way from small brown and venomous spiders to king spiders. While some of them rely on their nest and on their venom to survive, other species don't have venom, and generally are just members of their nest. Although, it is advised to avoid every form of life present on the level.
There's many nests that spiders made, most inhabited by small venomous spiders and massive king and queen spiders. The king spiders of these colonies are fortunately not venomous but the queen spiders are highly venomous, most die within minutes of a queen spider bite, though this is just speculation, as human exploration of this level is currently impossible.
=== Caveling Spiders ===
=== Death Pools ===
Large clear pools can be found in dead ends of the cave, these pools are highly dangerous as anything that enters them gets torn apart and dragged down by humanoid tar black hands. Another type of nest found on Level 8 houses Frankenspiders, a dangerous mutated spider that regenerates through a gland found in its chest cavity. Certain areas of the cave have what is presumed to be almond water dripping from the stalactites on the ceiling.
==Entrances and Exits==
=== Entrances ===
* Look for a hole in Level 6 or at the bottom of the water in Level 7. The most common way to enter this level is by finding entrances through Level 7, but there are numerous entrances throughout other levels of the Backrooms.
* Jumping into a sinkhole in Level 85.
===Exits===
* Trip/fall and you will get transported to Level 9, but you also have an extremely low chance to be transported to Level 153. All of the reported cases who got out of Level 8 this way were by accident, so it's not certain whether falling intentionally will work or not. 
* Going to higher areas may lead one to Level 8.4.
