Finish Hotel habits
Build a repeatable door, key, audio-cue, and hiding routine before adding a new floor to the run.
DOORS Progression Guide
Progress by making the Hotel loop reliable, then choosing one floor guide and one entity guide for the next route you want to learn.
Progression map
Advance checkpoint by checkpoint
Every stage needs a visible move-on signal.
- Stage 1
1. Stabilize Hotel runs
Practice audio cues, room searches, hiding, and the decision to pause before a dangerous door.
- Stage 2
2. Pick one floor
Open the floor page for Mines, Backdoor, Rooms, or Outdoors and keep that route separate from Hotel notes.
- Stage 3
3. Add one entity page
Use the response tool for the entity most likely to stop your current route.
- Stage 4
4. Record the next mistake
Write a short local note in the run planner so the next attempt starts with a concrete correction.
Decision basis
Know why the account should advance
Choose the next floor
Use the floor index to separate Mines, Backdoor, Rooms, and Outdoors routes instead of mixing their mechanics.
Prepare for named encounters
Read Figure, Seek, Rush, Ambush, and floor-specific pages before treating a route as familiar.
Recovery
Fix the current stuck point
The next floor feels random
Choose one route and read its floor page before switching between different mechanics.
An encounter ends the run
Open the named entity page and record the cue that appeared before trying the route again.
You forgot the puzzle
Use the Door 50 Library or Door 100 breaker page for the exact puzzle route.
