'''The Dining Hall''' is a Special Location in the [[Hotel]]. It's where [[Halt]] attempts to attack the [[Player]] in the Hotel. It was added in [[The Mines]] update to replace Halt's previous hallway, The Corridor. |

== {{Icons|Overview}} Overview == |
|||
''Halt's'' room of residence, ''The Dining Hall'', consists of a long room with tables, chairs and plants either side. Debris scattered around, and cobwebs lining the walls. At the end of the room, there is a stage with a grand piano, as well as the exit door. This room appears as early as Door 1 or as late as Door 87. The room after ''The Dining Hall'' may vary, it can either spawn a normal room, a guaranteed room or sometimes a room with [[Dupe]]. |
|||
=== Older Version === |
|||
Prior to [[The Mines]] update, ''Halt's'' attack used to take place inside a long hallway consisting of [[Containers#Dresser|drawers]]. It was a 2-part room with both rooms being identical to each other. |
|||
=== Notes === |
|||
* Prior to Hotel+, the chances of [[Halt]] spawning were 3%. However, after Hotel+, Halt's chances of spawning have decreased from 0.1-0.5%. However, this does not seem to be the case for doors that are between the second [[Seek]] chase and the The Greenhouse, where Halt’s chances of spawning are increased significantly, unless if [[Ambush]] spawns, or Halt or Ambush have spawned in earlier doors. After [[The Mines]] update Halt became guaranteed and cannot spawn more than once in a run. |
|||
* [[Halt]] can be encountered as early as Door 1, as of the Mines update. |
|||
** Before the Hotel+ update, [[Halt]] could be encountered as early as Door 7 and as late as Door 96. [[Halt]] can no longer spawn in Doors 89-99 due to the addition of [[The Courtyard]] and [[The Greenhouse]]. |
|||
*** However, during the early times of the Hotel+ update, [[Halt]] could spawn during the first few rooms of the Greenhouse. This was a bug and it has been patched. |
|||
** [[Halt]] can also spawn on Door 101 and likely 102 in The Mines, though this is probably unintended. |
|||
* The player doesn't have to turn around when [[Halt]] appears in front of them, as walking backwards can also work, and takes less time. |
|||
** If a player does not want to lose speed when going backwards, then they can instead turn ninety degrees to the left or right and alternate between left and right movement based on where Halt is located. Since there is no speed decrease when going sideways, this strategy is effective when the 'My Legs Are Killing Me' modifier is activated. |
|||
** Before The Hunt update, there was also another way to beat [[Halt]], for when it appeared in front of players, they could just hug the wall, wait for Halt to pass and then continue on normally. This has been patched. |
|||
* Entering ''The Dining Hall'' will close the entrance to the hallway immediately, preventing players from backing out. |
|||
* In some situations, the player can stand still, and [[Halt]] won't be able to reach them, though it is not recommended to rely on this. |
|||
** In multiplayer, other players can go further ahead and make Halt faster, therefore making Halt able to get the idle player. |
|||
* In multiplayer, other players will be rendered mostly transparent. A similar thing happens during Seek's chase sequences except other players will be fully invisible. This is due to players being distracted by other players, resulting in decreased survival chances. |
|||
* [[Halt]] will despawn when the player exits the hallway. |
|||
** [[Halt]] can still go out of bounds. In that scenario, it's best to let it teleport behind the player. |
|||
* [[Halt]]<nowiki/>'s speed was increased significantly since the Hotel+ update. |
|||
** The closer the player is to the next door, the quicker [[Halt]] is, so timing is significant here. |
|||
* Users can use [[vitamins]] against [[Halt]] at the very start of the hallway, as it will not spawn immediately, which will make the player to finish half of the hallway, but the player must keep an eye on "TURN AROUND" screens, but this will force them to return to a greater distance. Vitamins can also be quite risky if a player is using the "Watch Your Step" modifier that makes [[Snare]] to appear in [[Halt]]'s hallway, making it almost unnoticeable. |
|||
* The player can obtain gold, and, in some rare occasions, [[items]], from the top of the tables. |
|||
* Entering ''Halt's'' hallway will instantly despawn any of the following entities: [[Rush]], [[Ambush]]. |
|||
** If Rush still hasn't started rushing, or if it's too close to the hallway, it won't despawn, and will enter the hallway, causing a guaranteed death as there are no closets in the hallway. |
|||
* Being attacked by Halt after opening the exit door in its hallway will not damage the player. |
|||
** However, if the player were to encounter Halt for a second time, they will immediately take damage with no way to avoid it. |
|||
* In the [[Modifiers]] update, if you have unlocked "Hotel Hell" and enabled the "MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE" modifier during your run, you can use any available [[Vitamins]] and run through Halt's cue without having to turn around, which makes it easy on one go if you get the right timing. (But still watch out for possible [[Snare|snares]]) |
|||
* [[Dread]] can still spawn in this room<ref>https://youtu.be/HlSJscsZ0Eo?si=FiEsnRPMRDUBDD_c&t=452</ref>, however, it will take 1 hour instead of 10 minutes. |
|||
== {{Icons|Trivia}} Trivia == |
|||
* ''The Dining Hall'' could be based on the Concept MissLunaArts made on Twitter, in which players would be in a Dining Hall trying to evade line of sight with a Ghost-like entity<ref>A video of Captain Jack Attack explaining how entity would have worked: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnYJ2jnfuAs#3:00 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnYJ2jnfuAs]</ref>. |
|||
* The name of ''The Dining Hall'' in the game files (and as shown in the [[Admin Panel]]) is "Hotel_HaltHallway". |
