'''The Grotto''', also known as '''Halt's Cave''', is a special location in [[The Mines]]. It is where [[Halt]]'s encounter used to take place.

*

=={{Icons|Overview}} Overview==

*

[[Halt]]'s room of residence in [[The Mines]] is a lot trickier than the encounter in [[The Dining Hall]]. Unlike the Dining Hall, the path is curved, and it also has a section where the player is required to push a [[minecart]] into boards in order to break them.

*

''The Grotto'' starts with a tunnel that [[player|players]] have to crawl through. After this, the players move around a collapsed section of rock, with item lockers lining the left side. The player then travels through a small body of water, and comes across a section where they are required to push a minecart to break a wooden barrier. ''The Grotto'' then ends with a snaking path leading to the exit door.

*

== Notes ==

*

* To avoid other players pushing the minecart into you, you can hug the wall to the left of the track.

*

** Make sure to move in order to avoid the wooden beams.

* If you are confident enough at Halt, it is recommended you open the toolboxes as they seem to be more likely to have items such as a [[Spotlight]] or [[Battery Pack]], which prove to be very beneficial for the rest of the run;

* Instead of turning around, you can simply walk backwards and survive Halt, this can make it quicker as you do not move as far backwards when using this method

** It can be much riskier to use this method in The Grotto as it has many more twists and turns, so make sure you have a clear path to back up into.

== {{Icons|Trivia}} Trivia ==

* This room is most likely to spawn before [[The Caverns]].

** This is partially because it can only spawn when opening a wooden door. Many of these doors are replaced with metal sewer doors after [[The Nest]].

*Only one player needs to push the [[minecart]] for the wooden barrier to be broken for everyone.

* [[Halt]] can pass through walls, making the last section a bit more difficult.

** To counter this, try to stay near the inner bends of the snaking path when Halt approaches.

* It is possible to not encounter ''The Grotto'' at all in a run, albeit incredibly rare.

* Players can be unlucky if they get a room containing [[Figure]] right after this room, due to them entering most likely while standing up, immediately triggering the entity and not being able to retract back into the previous room.
