How to survive Haste

  • It spawns when the Backdoor timer runs out, so look for Timer Levers.
  • Activating a Timer Lever despawns it immediately, even during its attack.
  • Look backwards to gauge how close it is; you can see it through walls.
  • Check side rooms and hidden spots for levers while balancing gold and item collection.

Where Haste appears

Haste guide

Haste is a clock with teeth. In The Backdoor you get one minute to cross the whole floor once Door -50 opens, and if the timer reaches zero, Haste spawns, tints your screen red and chases you from behind. Contact is instant death, and it is the main source of difficulty on that floor. It was added on March 15, 2024.

What it looks like

It is a red human skull with black, hollow eyes and a grainy skin texture with colors like a spectrogram image. When crucified its mouth opens wider and its body stretches and distorts. You can see it through walls, so look backwards to judge how close it is. It is client-sided, meaning every player has their own Haste, and it is regarded as the loudest entity in DOORS.

How to stop it

Time is extended only by Timer Levers, which appear randomly and add 15, 30 or 60 seconds depending on the time left; Door -50 always has one. Pull a lever and Haste despawns immediately, even in the middle of its attack. That means you can still explore rooms to find one while it is behind you. Check side rooms and hidden spots, and balance searching for levers against collecting gold and items. With the Make Haste modifier it can be crucified by any held item as long as a Crucifix is in your inventory.
