DOORS: How to Survive Figure and Rush

Introduction to the Nightmare of DOORS

Within the horror and suspense category on Roblox, very few games have achieved the level of popularity, immersion, and genuine terror that DOORS, created by LSPLASH. The concept is elegant but terrifying: you and your friends are trapped in a mysteriously procedurally generated hotel and must go through 100 doors to escape. Along the way, you must loot drawers in search of lighters and keys, all while being hunted by "Entities" specifically designed to kill you at the slightest mistake.

In 2026, the base map and mechanics have evolved, but the ultimate newbie killers are still two main entities: Rush and the fearsome Figure. Thousands of games end at door 50 (the Library) because they do not know how to handle this last one. In RobloxMania, we have dissected the game's artificial intelligence to bring you the ultimate tricks that fool the system and will allow you to survive these two titans of terror without sweating.

Knowing Your Executioners: Rush and Figure

Before deceiving them, you must understand how they work.

• Rush: It's a cloud of distorted faces that sweeps through entire hallways incredibly quickly, turning off the lights and breaking all the bulbs in its path. It kills on contact instantly.
• Figure: The guardian of Gate 50 and Gate 100. He is blind but has ultrasensitive hearing. He detects steps, sudden movements, and can perceive your heartbeat if you hide too close.

The Trick of "Looking at the Ground" against Rush

The "normal" way to dodge Rush is to wait for the lights to flash, panic, run to a closet, and hide until it passes. However, there is a serious problem with this: sometimes there are entities like Hide inside the closet that they expel you from, or there simply aren't enough closets for all your gear.

The Pro Trick: There is a "blind spot" in Rush's hitbox. Rush travels at a specific height through the center of the room. If you find yourself in a long hallway without closets and the lights are flickering, run to the farthest, darkest corner of the wall. Then, crouch (Crunched position) and aim your avatar's camera completely at the floor, pushing your character model against the corner. Rush has an error in its damage detection area; it will often buzz past your side without registering you if you are crouched in the corner, because its central hitbox does not touch the absolute corners of the floor. Use it only in emergencies!

How to break Figure's AI at Door 50

Door 50 is the Library. The goal is to find books and a paper to decipher a code, all while Figure walks around the room. Crouching the whole time is boring and often gets you caught anyway.

The "Invisible Wall" Trick: Figure's Artificial Intelligence in Roblox uses a navigation "Node" system. At the start of Gate 50, on the ground floor, near the main desk to the left, there is a shelf that forms a small corner in a "U" shape. Figure is prohibited by code from entering that narrow corner because its model would "jam" the path.

1. Walk freely, crouch only when nearby.
2. If it hears you and lets out its chase roar, run straight to that U-shaped corner.
3. Figure will run toward you, but will stop right at the edge of the shelf, growling inches from your face without attacking you. Then, after a few seconds, the AI will reset and walk away to another spot.

You can use this shelter every time you make a mistake!

The advanced use of the Crucifix

In recent updates, the Golden Crucifix was introduced. Many players waste it using it on minor entities like Screech or the same Rush. Don't do it! The trick for long games is to save the crucifix exclusively for Door 100 (The Final Electric Warehouse).

At Gate 100, Figure is more aggressive. If you have the Crucifix equipped, you can avoid the heartbeat mini-game. When Figure corners you to kill you, the crucifix will chain him to the ground with golden magic for a brief period of about 10 seconds. If you are playing in coordinated multiplayer, use this time for a friend to run and collect all the fuses in the room while Figure is immobilized. This is the strategy of speedrun definitive.

Conclusion

DOORS is a masterpiece of horror that punishes the impatient and rewards the observant. By mastering Rush's detection error around corners, learning how to manipulate Figure's artificial intelligence in the blind spots of the library, and smartly managing your items like the Crucifix, you will go from being the victim to being the master of the hotel. Take these secret tips we provide in RobloxMania, gather your squad and get ready to open that glorious Gate 100 with full confidence. Don’t get caught in the darkness!
