Level 2

# ***Level 2 - "Utility Halls"***

***Level 2*** presents itself with narrow hallways adorned with pipes, ventilation systems, and sturdy iron doors. The overall construction of Level 2 consists mainly of andesite, while the flooring boasts basalt, and the ceiling and piping are fashioned from the robust netherite material. As you traverse these hallways, you'll encounter a variety of pipes, crafted from different materials like brick, diorite, deep slate, or grindstone.

The hallways in Level 2 are confining, being just one block wide, making it easy for entities to attack players. However, behind some of the iron doors, hidden rooms can be discovered, which might hold valuable supplies or serve as access points to other levels. These rooms offer a respite from the claustrophobic hallways, offering opportunities for exploration and resource gathering.

Level 2 hallways are typically dark, but the only known light sources are lanterns, and bases use campfires as lighting.

### Entities

In terms of entities, Level 2 has a mass amount of entities. These entities vary from the following: Smilers, Hounds, Skin-Stealers, Wretches, Plague Goblins, Clumps (which cannot move and are in a fixed place), Child Facelings, Male Deathmoths, and Bursters (which are surrounded by a light greyish gas).

### Bases, Colonies, and Outposts

The Survivors - The Survivors are a group of wanderers who have set up a base in Level 2, where they contain their supplies, campfires, and shooting areas to keep any entities away.

Office Space EL3A - Office Space EL3A, is a large warehouse building that is located on Level 2. It is under the B.N.T.G.'s control where most of their trading happens. The members of EL3A reside on mezzanine flooring where they hold their break room, sleeping areas, and campfires.

Followers of Jerry Outpost - The Followers of Jerry have been able to set up a base in Level 2, where they follow a blue macaw named Jerry. However, it seems like the entrance to this F.O.J. outpost has been blocked off and wanderers are unable to enter.

### Side Quests

One of the members of the Survivors community, Nancy, asks you to return her a rose locked away in EL3A. Nancy will give you a key, and you must find your way to EL3A, and find a room located on the bottom floor, which requires a key to enter. Inside of this room, is a rose. Now after you've got the rose, return to the Survivors and give the rose to Nancy. You will get an achievement and a few music discs as your reward.
