### Hiding Places

Whole room itself

This Place is initially hidden and must be entered via the Great Trapdoor that can be found in the Main Room. Bob and Buck cannot access this room so it is a safe place from them and a good hiding spot in a case of emergency but there are other hazards that the Player will face here.

The Catacomb is a large basement-styled room with many moving platforms, that move both horizontally and vertically. The Player must navigate across these platforms, using good timing and parkour skills to avoid falling and injuring themselves badly. At the bottom left side of the room in a large cave is the biggest hazard in the room, the Beetle who is mostly stationary, but can become active and hostile under certain conditions.

It is a dark, dirty room with cold grey walls and the appearance of it suggests that no one goes down here often. The Moving Platforms themselves seem to be made of old rotten wood. There is a small stair compartment at the bottom corner of the room, opposite the Beetle's cave which will always contain an important Item in a Compartment dug in it, but the lethal pet must be dealt with before you can retrieve that item. There is only one way in and out of this room, making leaving it risky if the Twins are walking around the Main Room. Note that they will camp right next the square hole leading down to the Room if they see you standing on the small set of stairs right below, implying that you have to get out of sight if you want them to get away, finding yourself stuck here otherwise.

## Trivia

* It is unknown why this Room exists, if The Twins found it or built it and its systems themselves. It is also unknown how they got their Pet, the Beetle to stay down there.
* An Important thing to note is that the Beetle cannot climb on the set of stairs in the bottom corner of the room, making it safe from its deadly reach.
* The noise produced by the Moving Platforms can be heard from quite far, including in other rooms near the Catacomb. Do not be surprised if you happen to hear them around the Sewer Corridor, for example.
* The floor of this Room acts in a special way towards a specific Item being the Iron Cog : if it happens to be dropped on it, the Iron Cog will be teleported on top of the set of stairs in the corner of the room, so that the Player can catch it while being safe from the Beetle. This funtionality is more than likely to be intentional for obvious reasons that the Player could find themselves stuck if they do not have any Dynamites or Ammo left (or simply don't have the Revolver) and accidentally drop the Cog in the room. This doesn't work with other items in the game.
* After locking the Beetle in the Cage, you are actually able to see it if you crouch around the sides of the cage as there is a small gap. It cannot harm you but you will see it moving behind the door.
