Level -19

=LEVEL -19: "ᗰETᗩᒪᒪIᑕ ᗰᗩᒪIᑕE"=
Level -19 is the 19th negative level of The Backrooms.
=ᗪESᑕᖇIᑭTIOᑎ=
 
Level -19 is an expansive forest made entirely out of various metals. The bumpy ground has been identified as chromium, while the trees are made of steel. There are also puddles, lakes, and, rarely, waterfalls of mercury. Sometimes, it is possible to find a steel bucket filled with either Liquid Pain or Cashew Water. 
This level causes any picture or video to have glitches throughout. It can range from a small amount of noise to complete corruption of the recording. Additionally, the level has no day/night cycle, instead staying as a misty day. However, the level does have a sort of seasonal cycle. Every 4 months, the level alternates between a "winter" season, with an average temperature of 42.5°F (~5.8°C), and a "summer" season, with an average temperature of 85.3°F (~29.6°C).
The main danger of Level -19 is the composition of the air. There are numerous, tiny particles of lead floating around the level. If one stays in this level for too long without any equipment, then they will get lead poisoning, eventually leading to death if not treated. If one is especially unlucky, it could begin raining small chunks of steel, easily causing severe injuries or death to any unprepared individual. Fortunately, this is an extremely rare event, with only 7 documented cases since the level's discovery.
On top of the environmental dangers, a dangerous variation of the Hound will appear here occasionally. This level-exclusive variant acts the same as a regular Hound, but is made out of an unidentified metal. Despite this, it still moves around fine, and is much more durable. The same tactics can be used to fend it off as its regular counterpart. Unlike a normal Hound, this entity does not spread the Hound Virus, simply eating any prey it can catch instead.

 The Copper Desert is the second area of Level -19. The ground is made of copper, hence the name. The temperatures here have a constant average of 104°F (40°C). This is particularly dangerous because the metal ground's thermal conductivity will cause it to become even hotter. Scattered throughout the area, there are some small oases that look like the main area, with a chromium ground and a shallow mercury lake. It is possible for these to send you to Level -18 in some way, but it is unrecommended to attempt to use this exit.
Any metal hound will not be affected by the immense heat, allowing it to lure unsuspecting wanderers onto the hot surface, usually in order to make it easier to catch them. It is recommended to stay away from this area due to these dangers.
