THE CRAWLER'S COMPANIONpatch notes for the apocalypse

Floor 2

First seen: Book 1, Chapter 27

Properly explored for the first time: white cinderblock quadrants with an orange tint to the wall lichen, laid out on the same one-big-grid pattern as floor 1 but immune to Carl's fists so far, the blocks cracking under a punch without breaking further.

Dungeon FloorCollapsed

Appearance

White floors and cinderblock walls, unlike floor 1's stone. A full-power gauntlet punch cracks a block but can't break it further, as if the walls are magically protected.B1C30

Terrain:

Narrower main arteries than floor 1's, with cracked concrete and loose sharp rocks underfoot within the quadrantsB1C32

Where

A quadrant of white cinderblock tunnels with an orange tint to the wall lichen, laid out on the same grid pattern as floor 1B1C30

Stepped through the moment the borough boss fight ends, then immediately left again for a production boat interviewB1C27

Stats

3 hours, 35 minutes, per floor 3's own welcome message; the last countdown given before it presumably collapsesB2C1

3 days, 14 hours, per this chapter's own headerB1C44

4 days, 20 hours, per the Big Shot Chicken safe room's own screenB1C38

Five days, ten hours, per this chapter's own headerB1C32

Six days and counting, per the floor 2 welcome broadcast, sped up from an originally planned ten because the surviving crawler population came in lower than the show's own projectionsB1C31

1 hour, 40 minutes, per the same screenB1C38

A new timer, added to the message board this chapter just below Time to Level Collapse, running one hour faster than it. From now on, safe rooms and safe areas close an hour before floor collapse, teleporting anyone still inside to just outsideB1C39

Connections

Floor 1:

The floor above, still on its own collapse countdown as Carl and Donut arriveB1C30

Safe Room:

First known safe room on this floor, past a stretch of Mind HorrorsB1C30

The World Dungeon:

Parent structureB1C30

The Rev-Up Company:

A moonshine business occupying the quadrant near the down-stairwell, cleared by Carl and Donut this chapterB1C32

Waste Disposal System:

Floods the quadrant near the Krakaren Clone's old lair with level-two grubs after the last big fight, hitting the area's 5,000-grub capB1C37

Big Shot Chicken Safe Room:

A safe room bordering the kobold quadrant, entered for the first time fleeing a Rage ElementalB1C38
