Elevator Lady

"Where are you going?"

The **Elevator Lady** is a unique, hidden enemy that appears in Chapter III. She has a random chance to appear when choosing the 5th floor in the elevator game ritual.

## Appearance

She has a lavender color and appears to be wearing a kimono. She also has a bob hairstyle and has a constant, small grin on her face. When she jumpscares John, her face deteriorates into what a dead body would look like; sunken eyes, wrinkled facial features, and rotting teeth.

## Biography

There is no information given in-game about the Elevator Lady, including her backstory. She is likely a Demon that came to inhabit the elevator of the apartment complex some time after its construction, but is probably not connected to Gary's demonic activities.

### October 29th, 1987

John gets a letter from Father Garcia to check an apartment building in New Haven because the cult might be summoning Malphas there. He also gets a letter from Lisa to head over as well, because "The situation is getting worse" and "They're in the apartment.".

Once inside, John can take the nearby elevator to any floor he chooses (but the seventh floor is unavailable). During this, while performing the elevator game ritual, there's a small chance that the elevator lady will enter the elevator with him when he stops at the 5th floor in the elevator game sequence.

This lady is actually a Demon, she will jumpscare and kill him if he either looks at her or pulls out his crucifix. When she enters inside the elevator, John has to completely ignore her and go to the first floor immediately so that she will despawn, even when she asks him, "Where are you going?". She cannot be banished.

## Trivia

* The 14th note in Chapter III cryptically tells the player what to do if they mess up the sequence to go to the "7th" floor or encounter the Elevator Lady, "the first floor is a great place to start over".
* The Elevator Lady is a reference to a Japanese and Korean urban legend/ritual called "The Elevator Game", in which one uses an elevator to enter a parallel world by going to certain floors within a 10-story building within a certain order. This may explain why she wears a kimono.
	+ The rest of the apartment complex represents this as well; broken mirrors are everywhere, a giant cross floating outside when entering the "7th" floor (the parallel world), and the button combinations reach said floor.
	+ A common warning given when playing the elevator game is to never look at nor speak to any woman who enters the elevator on the 5th floor, as she is not human and trying to kill the player.
* There is a graphical error in the bottom-right corner when Elevator Lady first appears showing pink pixels in the shape of a reverse L. This will probably be fixed in a future version of The Unholy Trinity comes out.
* The Elevator Lady, Tree Demon, and the Stalker are the only enemies that don't reappear as apparitions later on in Chapter III. This combined with the fact that she was likely summoned via playing the elevator game makes it likely that she has little to nothing to do with Gary or his cult. She is simply there.
	+ The Tree Demon doesn't appear as an apparition because it's only use was to make the player unsafe in Chapter II. Also, it seems like it was running in fear than anything malicious.
	+ The Stalker doesn't appear as an apparition because it seems like it's only there to add tension in Chapter II Prologue. His backstory is unknown and could just be another weird thing in John's dream.
* Strangely, the Elevator Lady is the exact same color as Tiffany.
