{{Quote|Down you go!|'''Down The Drain''' [[Achievement]] description}}   
'''Valves''' are a [[Features|Feature]] found within [[The Dam]]. It serves as the final puzzle piece needed to be used by the [[player]] to flush [[Seek]] out of [[The Dam]] and to escape [[The Mines]].   

[[File:Valves.png|thumb|A ''Valve'' found in The Dam.]]

=={{Icons|Overview}} Overview==
''Valves'' are found within all 3 levels of the final [[Seek]] boss, each ''valve'' is hidden in the flood.

After turning all the ''valves'' in [[The Dam]]. Seek will drain down giving access to a [[Generator]] for [[The Woods]].  Before escaping [[The Mines]] after beating Seek, the player can get the "Down The Drain" [[Achievements|achievement]].

=={{Icons|Usage}} Usage==
''Valves'' are found in all three levels of [[The Dam]]. Once the [[player]] twists one of them, a bar will show up, if they twist enough ''valves'', [[Seek]] will drain more and gets new abilities in different phases, the first phase requires them to twist two, the second requires the player to twist 4 and the third phase requires them to twist 5 ''valves''.

=={{Icons|Trivia}} Strategies==
* In the second and third floors, move up and down floors in order to find ladders so you can avoid platforming and easily reach the valves. This is especially useful considering the difficulty of some parts of the layout coupled with the altered physics.
* Do not try to rush your way towards the ''valves'', doing so might get you caught in [[Seek]]'s goop. 
* Look around for [[Guiding Light]] highlighting the ''valves''.
* Speedboosts are recommended to evade the attacks. However be careful as you may fall easily into the slime.
* Jump over boulders to reach some ''Valves'' easily and avoid the risk of going through Seek.
* It is recommended to make out your path before you go. Doing so will help you get to ''Valves'' safely.

=== Notes ===

* A hotbar will show up whenever the player twists a ''valve''.
* No ''valves'' will need to be activated above Seek's level.
* ''Valves'' always have the same spawn locations in every run.
* ''Valves'' can't be interacted with before the slight speed boost is given to the player.

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

* If you get voided during a giggle attack, you will not be able to interact with anything, including ''Valves.''
* Sometimes when playing with low graphics, [[Guiding Light]] may not highlight the ''Valves.''
* If your teammate twists the last ''Valve'' while you are on the debris, you will get stuck under and eventually die of drowning. This is most likely a bug.
